Third Person POV

Spencer walked into the coffee shop and saw her two best friends, Emily and Oliver, already seated at a table. She made her way over to them, juggling her backpack and a large coffee.

"Hey guys!" Spencer said as she sat down.

"Hey Spence, how was your morni- well I mean detention?" Emily asked.

"Oh, you know, just the usual... I found out Isabella is 22 and marr- mean as ever. Oh also I made out with Ivy and Isabella caught us and I think we flirted." Spencer replied with a grin.

"You're such a troublemaker, Spencer. What are we going to do with you?" Oliver chuckled.

"Hey, I can't help it if I'm a master of witty banter." Spencer replied, taking a sip of his coffee.

Emily rolled her eyes, "Witty banter? Is that what you're calling it these days? I thought it was just plain old talking too much."

Spencer feigned offense. "Ouch, Em. That hurts it's not my fault not everyone appreciates my wonderful voice.. I thought you appreciated my sparkling personality."

"Oh, I do. It's just that sometimes it can be a bit...overwhelming." Emily said with a smile.

Oliver laughed. "I think what Emily is trying to say is that you never know when to shut up."

"Me? Never know when to shut up? That's outrageous. I'm the master of the perfect timing for a well-placed quip." Spencer mock gasped.

"Anyway can we go back to the fact that you made out with your ex girlfriend who cheated on you and has serious trust issues?" Oliver said.

"It was more of a closure make out session that almost led to sex closure." Spencer explained.

"Are you sure Ivy knows this was closure?"

"Well I mean we haven't talked since last night but I'll be sure to tell her."

"She's right behind you." Oliver pointed out.

"Fuck off." Spencer sighed as she came to the realization she wasn't behind her.

"Anyway I have a proposal." Spencer cheered.

"You'll give us a billion dollars?" Oliver questioned.

"For what? You were practically born worth a billion dollars." Spencer said.

"What's the proposal?" Emily questioned.

"I am going to convince my parents to let me move out." Spencer grinned.

"How? Why?"

"I'm gonna ask them and because we'll be going off to college in twelve months and I want to learn some independence."

"Now I am open to us all looking for a three bedroom so we can practice for when we are living in New York." Spencer smiled.

"No." Emily replied.
