"Daniel and Tina broke up," Aria says as the girls walk around the track for gym. They're supposed to be running or jogging but that was not gonna happen for them. They've gotten yelled at by their teacher multiple times already but still continued to just walk leisurely.

"Why?" Tori asks, tightening her ponytail slightly. "I thought they were good even though she is a dick."

"I don't know, I've heard that she cheated on him with some college guy but I really don't know," Aria shrugs lightly while watching everyone else in the class pass the pair. "So, have you thought about sending the letters?"

"Aria," Tori groans, throwing her head back. "No, now stop asking."

"I love you," Aria sings with a shit eating grin. "How many letters do you have anyways?"

"Eight," Tori mutters. "I also think you know every person that has a letter."

"Hmm, I probably do," Aria hums. "You should send Zach's."

"Ah yes, I'll send the boy you're supposed to go on a date with tomorrow, the letter confessing my undying love for him," Tori jokes causing Aria to laugh loudly. "Speaking of Zachary, he's coming over now."

"Hey, I need to talk to you two," Zach says, jogging over till he's in step with the girls. He has something in his hand but is hiding it out of view.

"Uh, okay," Tori replies with a frown, trying to see what Zach has behind his back.

"Well first of all, I feel like you would want this back," He holds an envelope out to Tori. She glances down and almost falls over in shock. She snatches it from his grasp, knowing exactly what happened.

"How did you get this?" Tori whispers, opening the envelope to see the letter she wrote to him in freshman year. Aria, confused as ever, looks over Tori's shoulder and has to stifle a gasp at the sight of the letter.

"I swear to god, I did not send that. I was just joking around with you and I didn't even know where you hid them," Aria quickly cuts in, scared her best friend is gonna turn on her.

"I got it in the mail yesterday," Zach answers. "It looked personal so I thought that you might want it back. I didn't read all of it just so you know."

"Zach, just know that I wrote this in like freshman year and you were never supposed to see it," Tori says, flipping the letter over in her hands multiple times. "I also don't feel this way about you anymore. Also Aria I know that you didn't send them because you haven't been in my house in a while and you didn't know where I hid them. No one did."

"Uh Tori?" Aria mumbles, looking behind the blondes shoulder. "Did Daniel Seavey happen to be one of the recipients of these letters?"

"Yeah, why?" Tori mindlessly responds.

"He's kind of coming over here," Aria answers. Tori spins on her heel to see the boy with a letter in his hand. He stops in front of the three with a questioning look. "Sup Seavey, learned my name yet?"

"Are you Ari?" Daniel questions, his head tilted to the side slightly.

"Close but no," Aria responds before turning to Zach. "I believe we should take our exit now."

"Wait," Tori tries to stop her but Aria had already dragged Zach away. Tori slowly turns back around to face Daniel, an uneasy smile adorning her face. "Hello Daniel, what can I do for you?"

"Are you Victoria Uris?" He asks. Tori purses her lips and nods. "Alright look, I'm flattered, really I am, but Tina and I just broke up and from what I remember of that kiss, it was hot for being in seventh grade but-"
