Toby's POV
'What are you doing here?' I looked at Yvonne.
'I thought I'd come and see you' she smiled.
'I need to go, my girlfriends moving in' I pushed past her shoulder.
'Toby, I'll see you around' she flirtatiously flicked her hair then walked toward the counter.

I met Yvonne back at my old high school, I did fall for her yes, but she wasn't Spencer. I'd never felt about anyone the way I did about Spencer.

I was waiting for Spencer to arrive, I'd made us tea. I was so happy that Spencer has said yes to moving in.

Knock knock knock

'Hey' I smiled.
'Hey, sorry I've got so much stuff and I was trying to fit it in one case and there was so much traffic and..'
'Spencer.. Breathe'
'I really need a coffee' she smiled.
'I don't have any in.'
'That's ok, I'll just nip to the cafe' she handed me her suitcase and started walking down the stairs.

Spencer's POV
I needed some caffeine to keep me going. I was drained, physically and mentally.
'That's £3.30 please'
'Thank you' I turned around and walked straight into some girl. Her coffee went all down my dress

'Omg, I'm so sorry' she spun around and grabbed a tissue. Her hair was jet black and long, very long.
'It's ok, honestly' I looked down at my dress it was ruined.
'I'm so clumsy I really should have been watching where I was going' she started rambling.
'Honestly, it's ok' I laughed.
'I'm Yvonne I'm new around here.' She put out her hand to shake.
'Hello, I'm Spencer' I returned her hand shake.
'I need to go, I'm moving in to my boyfriends. It was nice meeting you, Yvonne.'
'Have fun.' She smiled. 'Nice meeting you too Spencer' she waved and left the cafe.

Toby's apartment
'I just need to get changed, coffee incident.' I walked into Toby's flat and saw a neatly set out candle lit meal.
'Awh Toby, this is beautiful'
'What happened?' Toby questioned.
'some new girl Yvonne accidentally knocked coffee on me' I looked at Toby and saw his face change.
'You ok?'
'Yeah, it's just..'
'Do you know her?'
'No. No I don't. You need to get cleaned up.' Toby stood up and walked over to the sink.
'Ok' I paused and looked at him. Then dismissed any thoughts and went and got changed.

Toby's POV
I don't know why I lied to her. It was a spare of the moment. I wanted to tell Spencer who Yvonne really was but I just couldn't.

The next day.

Spencer's POV
I was late to school today, Toby had left early this morning for a job interview in Philly. He was looking for any sort of job, just something to help with bills. I was helping him with the money to, I told him I'd pay but he refused my offer.
I ran into school at 9:10pm I know it wasn't super late but I was having a S.A.T today. I opened my locker and all my books went everywhere.
'Shit'
'Are you ok, I'll help' I looked up and saw Yvonne.
'Hi Yvonne, I guess your not the only clumsy one' I laughed.
'Do you know where Mr fitz room is?' She said as she handed me my last book.
'Yes it's just there' I pointed left.
'I didn't expect you to be late.'
'Oh my boyfriend switched of my alarm.' I laughed
'Toby?' I looked at her, I'd never mentioned his name.
'Do you know him?'
'Yes, actually I do'

Yvonne's POV
I looked at Spencer, she was Toby's typical type she was; Smart,Witty, dark hair coloured and brown eyes. I thought now would be my perfect opportunity to ruin their relationship, maybe, just maybe I could win Toby back.'

Spencer's POV
'Yes actually I do' I just stared at her, I thought back to last night when I questioned Toby. He told me he didn't know her.
'If you don't mind me asking, how?' I thought maybe he knew her from his old school.
'I'm his ex' she smiled at me. My face dropped. Toby had lied to me, I gave him the chance to tell me the truth and he lied.
'Oh...I need to go I have a S.A.T' I started walking.
'And Spencer.' I turned around.
'I intend to win him back' she sarcastically smiled. I turned and carried on going.

Toby's POV
I was so excited to tell Spencer my good news id finally got a decent job in Philly. I was waiting back at the flat to tell her the good news when she got home. I heard her talking to Emily in the cafe.
I heard her key turn in the lock. I stood up and opened the door.

'Hey' I grabbed her.
'Hi' she pushed past me.
'Spencer I got the job, I have to go tonight at 8pm to secure it' I smiled at her.
Her face remained serious, she said nothing.
'Spencer it's great, isn't is?' I looked at her.
'You lied to me' I stopped.

Spencer's POV
I wasn't going to say anything but listening to him so happy about his new job and yet knowing he had lied to me made me mad.
'You lied to me' I looked at his smile fade.
'About what? Spencer.'
'You told me you didn't know her.' I looked into his eyes.
'Don't know who?'
'Toby stop acting like you don't know who I'm talking about' I gulped.
'Yvonne' he looked down.
'Yes Yvonne, you told me you didn't know her. She's your ex Toby.' A tear streamed my face.
'I didn't tell you because I didn't want you to react like.'
'React like what.. This.' I grabbed my bag.
'Spencer look I'm sorry, she doesn't matter.'
'She's not the problem Toby... you lied to me' I walked towards the door.
He stared motionless.
'And do you know what's worse Toby? She's just like me..is that why you go with me because I reminded you of her'
'Spencer..please'

'Toby give me and answer yes or no'
'No, I did not get with you because of that'
'Stop lying Toby.' I walked out the door and slammed it.

Toby's POV
'Spencer please' the door slammed.
I did not love Spencer because of her similarity to Yvonne.

Yvonne's POV
I watched poor Spencer storm out of Toby's flat in floods of tears. Maybe now was time to comfort Toby and win his heart.
