Everything in Spencer Hastings's life was planned. From the day she was born till her very last day on this Earth. At least that's what her parents thought. Spencer had an older sister, Melissa. Melissa won the prizes, Melissa got all the attention, Melissa had everything Spencer did not. When Spencer would get an A, Melissa would get an A plus. Her parents would be overly dramatic with Spencer when she didn't win, so when Spencer was sixteen she turned to a life of wild parties, drugs, and sex. She was unstoppable. At least in Spencer's mind she was.
One particular night Spencer was at a party, supposedly the biggest party of the year, with her three best friends. Aria Montgomery, Hanna Marin, and Emily Fields. Not even they saw it coming when Spencer started wearing slightly more revealing clothes and started drinking. No one did.
"Spencer can I talk to you for one minute?" her blonde friend whispered in her ear.
"Um, sure." Spencer replied.
"Okay so, you know that hot new kid that we were talking about the other day?"
"Yea that Toby kid. Why?"
"Well hes here with Caleb. Turns out they're neighbors!"
"And what does this have to do with me exactly?"
"Well, why don't you talk to him? We both know he's super dreamy and he'd totally be into you. Come on give it a chance?"
"Ok fine, but you're coming with me."
"Oh, since when did you need someone to help you with the boys?"
"Since right now. Just come on."
The two waltzed over to the boys and Hanna was definitely not in the mood to beat around the bush tonight.
"Hey I'm Hanna and this is my gorgeous friend Spencer."
"Hanna you forgot to say hi to your loving boyfriend." Caleb teased
"Well hello, my loving boyfriend." Hanna said as she gave him a peck on the lips
"Hi Hanna, Hi Spencer. I'm Toby, Caleb was just telling me about you two."
"Better be good things." Spencer said giving Caleb a playful glare
"Only the best." Toby smiled
Hanna and Caleb were too wrapped up in each other to notice the conversation that was happening.
"Hey um we're gonna go get a drink. You guys want something?" Hanna said with Caleb
"Vodka soda please." Both Toby and Spencer said in unison
"Nice taste." Spencer smirked
"I can say the same for you." Toby grinned
"You two have fun." Caleb winked "Not too much fun now kids."
"Go get my drink and shut up." Spencer said half playfully
"So where are you from?" Spencer said nervously trying to make the small talk as not awkward as it was
"Maine originally. We moved here when I was seven but I didn't live in Rosewood until like two weeks ago."
"Why move here? Rosewood is pretty much the rats ass of the state."
"My dad's office was relocated."
"That explains it."
"Hey you know when Hanna was introducing you and she called you gorgeous?" Toby asked
"Haha yea she was trying to play matchmaker. Sorry bout' that." A slightly embarrassed Spencer replied
"No dont apologize. She was right. You are gorgeous." Toby flirted
"Thank you." Spencer blushed
"Anytime."
"God where are Hanna and Caleb? I'm thirsty and water will not do for me at all." Spencer said annoyed with the blonde and her boyfriend
"Making out in a corner most likely."
"True that." Spencer laughed
"I mean do you expect anything less?" Toby chuckled
God is he hot when he laughs Spencer thought
"Unfortunately not really." Spencer said
As if on cue Hanna and Caleb showed up with no drinks in hand and hair disheveled.
"Looks like someone had a little too much fun." Spencer smirked
"What makes you think that Hastings?"
"The fact that you were gone for fifteen minutes. Oh and there's lipstick on your neck." Spencer grinned winningly
"Whatever Hastings. Its not like you havent been known to have fun here and there."
"But have I ever gotten lipstick on my neck?"
"Never lipstick. Only hickies." Caleb had won this one
"Fuck off Rivers. Im going to get a drink because someone got a little busy." Spencer gave Hanna and Caleb "the" glare
"Mind if I join?" Toby said hoping she'd want him to come
"I don't mind at all." Spencer gave him a wide smile
As Spencer and Toby were walking a very drunk football player walked up to them. Well wobbled over to them due to his condition.
"Well would you look at that Spencer the school slut Hastings finally found someone to date her. Never thought Id see the day." The drunk boy slurred
"Hey why don't you lay off the girl before I change my mind about knocking your ass on the ground." Toby said standing up straighter. Anyone could see the flaming anger in his eyes
"Ooh I'm so scared." The boy tried to say without passing out from intoxication
Toby started cracking his knuckles and for some reason the boy just walked away. He looked like he was going to puke anyway.
"Hey im so so sorry about that. Are you ok?" Toby tried to comfort Spencer who actually wasn't sad at all.
"Im fine. You get used to it after a while. Spencer sighed
"That's something you should never have to be used to. You are a beautiful girl and you are like the least sluttiest girl I've ever met." Toby said meaningfully
"I know that you are just trying to be nice, but if you really knew me you wouldn't be saying those things." Spencer said sadly
"No no I mean that from the very bottom of my heart I promise. Nothing you could ever say or do will change the way I see you right now. I see you as a gorgeous, nice, and funny girl." Toby smiled
"Thanks again Toby." Spencer said blinking away her tears
"Anytime at all Spencer. If you need anything, here's my number. Call me at any time I don't care if it's four in the morning if you are in any need to company. Tell me." Toby said as a smooth excuse to give Spencer his number.
"Thank you…again." Spencer giggled
Toby just smiled sweetly
"Spencer your mom just called she said that if you dont call her you're grounded." Hanna yelled running over to Spencer with Caleb not far behind.
"God that womans such a bitch." Spencer mumbled
Spencer reluctantly called but she only called to hear how pissed her mom was
"Godness Spencer where the hell are you. Its midnight!" Spencer's uptight mother said into her phone
"At a party. Its not like you care you're supposed to be with dad and Melissa in Philly." Spencer argued
"We came home early. We just got back to find you gone and then you don't pick up your phone!"
"Fine I'll be home in thirty minutes. Hanna staying over though."
"Fine Spencer just get your ass home. Your thirty minutes starts now." Veronica hung up
"Well I might wanna go before my parents change their minds about sending me to boarding school." Spencer was only half joking
"Wouldn't want that to happen now." Toby winked
As Spencer and Hanna said their goodbyes Spencer practically had to peel Hanna from Caleb it was a miracle they even got to the car.
"So how'd you like Toby?" Hanna said as soon as they got in the car.
"He seems really nice." Spencer said not knowing what she was getting into.
