He remembered it clearly, the day he met her. He treasured that day that he laid his eyes on the brunette beauty.
-12 years ago-
They were eight. Spencer with her perfect pigtails and a flowery dress, surrounded by a group of friends. On the other hand Toby sat alone looking up at the sky from the bench in the playground in his dark grey hoodie and jeans.
Then it happened.
She walked up to him, she didn't look scared which surprised Toby. Most people were scared by the way he dressed, saying he looked like the bad guys from the scary movies that they had recently watched. She looked at him and then she said the one thing he'd never forget
" can I sit with you?"
He stuttered the words out but eventually replied "sure" okay maybe it was more like "s-sure" but he was nervous, and she was beautiful. She sat and talked to him about the school and they laughed and smiled and couldn't seem to get enough of each other. But then she said something that made his smile fade.
"Don't tell my friends about this. The smiling and stuff, me liking you."
He was heart broken, was this all just a game to her? He was going to speak but was interrupted by her speaking again.
" I want to be the one to tell them they were wrong about you. You're a great guy Tobes." He touched her hand and smiled at her. And said something that shocked even himself.
" You're beautiful"
She blushed and he felt his heart skip so many beats. He had to say something, anything to make this less awkward.
"Id like to get to know you more."
And with that day came years of friendship, love, and the next chapter of this story.
