Spoby: Love At First Sight

Chapter 3

" I guess the universe wanted us to meet again " Toby said.

There appeared a big smile on Spencer's face.

" hi, " was all she said. " hey, " he replied simply. When Spencer was nervous she began playing with her fingers, just like then.

" I'm sorry, again. " Spencer apologized. If she needed to learn one thing it was that she needed to look out. Not walk around like a chicken without a head. Be careful.

" It's like our first meeting all over again, " he said. She was afraid to look up to his face because she knew that she'd look into his eyes and get lost in the ocean.

" Except you have a shirt on this time, " Spencer joked. But then it hit her that she had said something stupid. So she tried to talk about something else.

" are you staying here, too? " She asked.

" Yes, " he replied simply. " why are you wandering in the halls? "

" I was just going to, uh. See my teacher. "

See my teacher? Spencer thought. " I mean I need to talk to her. "

" Well, I'm glad you did because here we are once again. Doing what the universe wants us to do. "

" And what's that exactly? " Spencer asked.

" Wait, " he said and sushed her. He listened. " Yup, the universe wants me to have breakfast with you. "

" Oh really? " Spencer laughed.

" Yes and also, your friends and my friends will be there, too. "

" They'll like that, " Aria would totally freak out when she'd hear this,

" I need to get going, " Toby said. " I'll see you tomorrow, miss clumsy. "

" Bye, " Spencer responded. She watched him walk away and then leaned against the wall. She took a deep breath. Get your act together, Spencer thought. It was weird how just a person could make her feel this way. She didn't even know him, but he seemed nice.

" So did you tell? " Emily asked when Spencer had returned.

" Not, exactly. " She said and sat down on the bed.

" Spence, you're a game killer " Hanna murmered. Spencer rolled her eyes.

" Ask who I saw, "

" who did you see? "

" Toby, " her cheeks turned red.

" Really? " Aria's voice changed instantly.

" the four of us are going to have breakfast together with the 3 of them, " Spencer explained.

" you still haven't done your dare, Spence " Emily said.

" Let's sleep so the morning comes faster! " Aria suggested.

Hanna rolled her eyes. " Come on, Ems. We can talk in the other room "

There were 2 things in life that Spencer was absolutely terrified for. The first was the unknown. What will happen and what would have happened questions. She was a person that knew everything - literally - that's why the things that possibly couln't be known was scaring her to death. She never stood still and thought long about that, because eventually she'd go crazy.

Second, being alone. She'd been alone for her entire life she didn't really mind it when she was little but know she had secrets. When she was alone nothing could prevent her from thinking. Being alone with her thoughts terrified her.

Spencer put on her favorite necklace. It had a shape of infinity with the word love written on it. When she was little - before her grand mother died - she used to ask Spencer one thing. Do you know how much I love you? And she'd reply: of course nana ifinity times infinity. She was the only that actually prefered her to Melissa. Spencer's world crumbled down when the most important person in her life passed away.

" I thought you just wore that for special occasions, " Hanna watched Spencer getting ready.

Spencer lifted her shoulders. You know those days or even moments when you just feel so sad, you feel like there's a brick on your shoulders a weight you can't carry, but you don't know why? She felt like that.

" Well, I've come to the conclusion that a beauty of a necklace shouldn't be hidden in a hidious jewelry box. "

" Spence, what's wrong? We are in the most beautiful city on the world and you're not feeling well, are you? "

Her friends knew her too well.

" It's nothing, really. I don't even know what's wrong. Let's just go to breakfast and get it over with. "

An hour later 7 teenagers were sitting at a table, laughing, eating, sharing memories, moments. Spencer was playing with her food.

" So when he came up to me, I said, dude, I'm not gay " Caleb said and laughed.

Aria and Hanna looked to Emily who was not enjoying the topic.

" What's so bad about being gay? " She asked.

" Nothing- " she didn't let him finish his sentence.

" You laugh like it's a big joke to you, so tell me Caleb. Do you find lesbians or homos funny? Do you think that biology has failed them? "

" I didn't mean it like that! It was just weird that he thought I was gay. "

" Maybe his gay radar was wrong. "

" You seem to know a lot, Emily " Jason said and took a bite of his sandwhich.

" I think,- " she began. " I think I am one. "

All 3 boys' eyes widened. Of course didn't expect that.

" Oh god, I am so sorry if I have offended you I didn't mean it like that- "

" It's okay. " She said and contiued eating.

" Spencer? " Toby said he noticed that she wasn't paying any attention.

" Yeah? "

" you alright? "

" Perfectly fine. " she smiled and that moment she realized that she was lucky to sit here in a beautiful hotel. With food on her table, friends. And the brick on her heart broke into a million pieces and dissapeared.

" I'm going to get more, " she said and got out of her seat. Toby followed her to the long table with food she didn't even know that exsisted.

He didn't know what to say. " Uhm " he coughed.

" something wrong? " Spencer asked while she was pouring some water into a glass. Toby shook his head quickly.

" Look Spencer. I am not the type of guy who flirts. I am not good at talking to girls, for that you should go to Jason. I usually don't ever like a girl this quick but since it happened I'm following my insticts. But you're not making it very easy, you know. You're hard to get and I like that. But like I said I really am not the type of guy who knows his way around with girls. "

" then when type are you? " she asked and bit her lip.

Toby's face moved closer and closer to her's. So close that she could feel his breath on her lips.

" the type of guy " he began and gently touched her bottom lip with his. Her eyes fluttered shut. He pulled back slightly. " who is shy and normally wouldn't do this, "
