 — Happens before the jenna thing. It's a small one but it's something that i always wanted to write.


Toby Cavanaugh was getting ready to go to school that morning. It had been two weeks since her father's new wife and her daughter had arrived in Rosewood, he had not liked the girl very much. Jenna Marshall seemed overbearing and petty, but it would be interesting to see her with Alison Dilaurentis, he thought, they looked like they were going to get into a fight any moment soon.

He arrived at Rosewood High long before the ringing signal to class so he went to the library to pick up a book, Toby liked to stay there, quietly lost in a good read. It was his way of escaping the ghosts that haunted him ever since he had lost his mother.

Toby had just read an interesting chapter when his attention was lost because of the girl who had appeared in the sight in front of him. Spencer Hastings was not with her group of friends led by Alison, as usual, this time she was alone.

Her brown hair was tied in a long braid, with a circular skirt that ran down her thighs and an elegant blouse. He saw her wrinkle her forehead, she was looking for something, her glasses went out of position and she promptly straightened, still intrigued by something.

From where he was, Toby could look at her freely without being seen, being able to observe every detail of the girl, beginning with the determined expression on her face and her beautiful big sad brown eyes.

To him, Spencer had always been the most interesting of the five. Of course, Alison being the Queen Bee she was always overshadowed her friends, but Spencer had something special and stood out from the others. She was very smart, she was the president of the student group, she was fun, a little bit shy and very, very beautiful. However, in the end, that doesn't really mattered, Spencer Hastings was way out of his league.

Spencer finally found what she needed with a smile, which in Toby's opinion could light up the whole place and then she left without ever looking at him. One day, perhaps, their fates would cross, who knows? Rosewood is a small town after all.
