Spencer Hastings has always been perfect in almost about everything she has done. She hasn't gotten anything below an A, she is in every club there is at school and is the Varsity Field Hockey captain. Outside of school she takes her stress out by playing tennis and charity work. She is perfect in every aspect. Many guys want to date her but gets rejected one after another. A few girls even asked Spencer out, they too are left disappointed.

It was lunch period for Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer. Spencer was already sitting at the usual table waiting for the other three to show up. Peter, one of her classmates from AP Russian History sits down and starts talking to her.

"So Spencer, I heard that you play tennis at the country club. Wanna play together this weekend?" Peter asked

"I can't Peter, I have other things planned with the girls"

"Ah, come on! With all the AP classes you're taking you need a break! You see them everyday anyways." Peter then starts flirting with Spencer, "By the way, you look amazing today!" and smiles at her.

Just then Hanna and Emily show up and sits down.

"So Peter, trying to ask Spencer on a date huh?" Emily asks, "You're never going to give up are you?"

Then Hanna adds with an eye roll "I know right? Peter you need to give this a rest since Spencer clearly can do better than you."

"Uh, right, I will take that as my cue to leave then. But Spencer think about it. Bye girls" Peter says before he leaves.

"Spencer you need to tell Peter that you are not into him and be over with it" says Hanna

"I know but it's hard. My parents and his parents are talking about doing business together and my dad wants me to be friends with him. He isn't that bad. He's artistic and athletic. He's a good friend" Spencer says with a shrug

"Ok, we are not saying you can't be friends with him, but you need to tell him you aren't interested." says Hanna

"You need to date, Spencer. It will give these guys a clue that you aren't interested in them while still being friends with them" says Emily "by the way when are you going to tell the one you like that you like them?"

"Yea you need to do it soon," says Hanna "Oh and that someone is walking over as we speak" Emily adds

"Hey guy! Sorry I'm late, I went to talk to my mom" says Aria before sitting down in the empty chair across Spencer. "So what's up?"

"Oh nothing just the usual, someone asking Spencer out on a date and getting rejected" says Hanna

"Oh Spence! Why don't you have a boyfriend? There are so many guys, there has to be someone you like" Aria says while opening her yogurt

"Oh, she likes someone all right, she just doesn't want them to know" says Emily while Spencer is throwing glares at her.

"Who is it? Do we know him?" asks Aria

"We know this person very well actually" Hanna says with a smirk

Spencer then jumps in "Okay let's stop talking about me. Emily are you nervous for your swim meet?" while finishing up her food

Emily pushes her food around, "Yea, I always get nervous before a meet. I know you guys will be there watching, I don't want to disappoint everyone."

"Oh Emily, you could never disappoint us!" Hanna says while giving Emily a hug

Soon the bell rings and the girls head off in different directions to class. After the last class of the day, Aria heads towards her locker to find Noel standing there talking to one of his friends.

"Hey Aria! I've been waiting for you. So I've been writing. I know I know, writing isn't really my thing, that's why I wanted to know if you could read some of it and see what needs improvements "

"Yea sure I guess I can. " Aria says with a shrug

"Great! Are you free Saturday afternoon?"

"Yea I can do it then"

"Good then I will see you on Saturday say around 12 for lunch at the Grille?" say Noel with a huge smile

"Alright, see you then, Bye Noel"

"Bye Aria" says Noel while walking away with a smile like he just won the lottery

While all this was going on Spencer was watching from her locker. She was so jealous of Noel. Everyone knows he wants to go on a date with Aria, and from that smile on his face, Aria said yes.

"So it looks like your competition just landed a date with your girl" Hanna says closing her locker watching Noel walk away and Aria talking to a girl from class

"Yea it looks like it" Spencer sadly says

"Do something about it then Spencer!"

"I can't! Aria doesn't see me like that. I don't want to ruin our friendship. Anyway she is happy."

"She can be happy with y…"

Spencer cuts in "You don't know that Hanna. What if I tell her and she doesn't want to talk to me again? Then what am I going to do?"

"Who's doing what?" asks Emily as she joins them

Spencer you should know that secrets were never meant to be kept. Don't say I never gave you time. You have 4 days until Aria's birthday –A

"Oh great! Now A is down my throat about this!"

"Well you better think of a way to tell her" says Emily "Good luck"

"Oh please. Spencer if you want something you get it, no matter what it is." Hanna says with a smirk

"Let's just go grab something small to eat before Em's meet"

"Oh let's, the salad I ate at lunch was gross I didn't even finish it." says Hanna

"Alright I will see you guys at the meet. Gotta go meet up with the rest of the team. Bye" says Emily before turning around and heading towards the swimming pool

Spencer and Hanna walk up to Aria just as she was finished talking to the girl from her class. "Hey Aria, Spencer and I were thinking about getting something to eat before the meet wanna come?"

"I think I'm going to pass. You guys go, I'm going to head to the library and do a little studying before the meet. I'll see you guys there?"

"Yea sure. Let's go Hanna. Bye Aria" say Spencer smiling and tugging Hanna towards the parking lot.

Once in Spencer's car, Spencer turns towards Hanna "Oh great, what am I going to do? A week? I can't do it" says Spencer all panicked and ready to punch something

"Hey calm down Spencer. Emily and I will help you, just let us think about it first. How about we meet tonight at your house and we talk about it. Can we go now…I am so hungry!" With that Spencer drives off to their favorite spot after school.

I've been a silent reader for some time now. I thought I'd give this a shot.

Please review. Would appreciate it!
