Melissa and Toby looked at me.
"Um.. I don't know what to say."
"You don't have to say anything sweetie." She pulled me into her arms.
This isn't happening, this isn't happening, this is not happening. I thought to myself.
Oh shit UPENN, Stanford, Toby, high school , everything is falling apart!
"But mom I..."
"She can't wait. Right Spencer." Melissa interrupted.
I stared at her as my mom awaited my answer.
"Ah ya. Toby let's go pack." I pulled him up stairs.
"Spencer that's a huge lie." He said as I threw clothes at him.
"So."
"So. You just lied about college. What's your mom going to say when she finds out?"
"Then we'll make sure she never finds out."
"Spencer?" My mom knocked on the door.
"Ya, come in." I gave Toby a questionable look.
"I bought you an apartment, and it's fairly close to The Brew, Rosewood High, and all the girls places."
"Okay, thank you mom."
"Okay, you two I'll let you get back to packing."
Toby glared at me when she left the room.
"This lie is getting bigger by the second Spence."
"I know, and I'm sorry. You just have to trust me okay." I took both of his hands.
"Do you trust me?"
"I just don't want something to go wrong and this blow up in our faces."
"It won't I promise."
Once we finished a box we would drag it down stairs to my car and throw it in.
I walked back into the kitchen and leaned against the counter.
"Is that the last one?"
"Yep." Toby said shutting the back down behind him.
"Finally."
"So your happy she said yes?" He said walking over to me.
"Absolutely. It's just the lie I'm worried about."
"Hey, don't stress we'll figure this out." He assured me.
I nodded and placed my lips on his. That immediately turned into a heated make out session.
"Get a room you two." Melissa laughed as she came down the stairs.
Toby placed a soft kiss on my nose and I pulled him up stairs.
One month later:
"Well that's the last box." Toby stuffed it in the trash can.
"Finally we're done!"
"Now on to more important things..." He placed his lips on mine.
Then there was a knock on the door.
"That did not just happen."
"I may have invited the girls over to see the apartment."
I detached myself from Toby and walked over to open the door.
"Ahhhh!" Hanna and Aria screamed and both pulled me into a group hug.
"Your back! Ooooooooo and I like." Hanna wondered around.
We all sat down and talk for a while and I gave them the tour.
"Hey what about those bitches in Indiana?"
"Oh I left all that drama." I took a sip of tea.
"Really? I wanted to meet this Zebra girl." Hanna smiled.
"It's Zenya, and no you don't."
"Fine."
Aria stood up "I have to meet Ezra in twenty minutes crap!" She stared at the clock on her phone in disbelief.
"Why? What's the rush?"
"Well, I was suppose to meet him and his mom at the Fitzgerald Art Gallery. I thought I had time to stop by here take a look. Then get back home get ready in time and go. I'm so screwed!"
"Aria, just relax let's take a walk to Spencer's closet." I pushed her towards my bedroom.
"Well, I need something classy but not frumpy."
I gave her 'really' look.
"Not that you have frumpy."
We walked into the bedroom and I opened the closet doors for her.
"There, find what you like. You know so it's nothing frumpy."
"Are you still hating on me?"
"Maybe."
"Guys! We have ten minutes!" Hanna
yelled digging through my shoes.
"Here this is perfect!" Aria pulled out a white dress with a black belt.
"And shoes to match." Hanna held up some black heels."
"So what's she like?" I asked.
"Diamonds and Chanel on a Sunday morning."
"Oh God. I'm not one to deal with one of those." Hanna said.
"Really Hanna?" I said and she shrugged.
"Thank you guys so much." Aria said as she made sure she looked perfect.
"Your welcome." I smiled as I watched her take a final look in the mirror.
"You look wonderful now go!" Hanna said and pushed her out the door.
