She placed her hand in mine, smiling up at me. I was happier than I have ever been in that moment. Her big brown eyes looking into mine, I could see everything in her eyes, everything that will happen next, everything I want to happen. I squeezed her hand as tight as I could and smiled at her slightly. She made me feel safe and happy, like I could be with her forever.

"I love you" I said

"I love you to" she leaned in, and our lips were so close to touching when, I woke up.

"Shit" I yelled. Once again I was dreaming of Aria, my best friend, my crush, the most beautiful girl I had known. Every night this week I have dreamed of her, and every morning I wake up right before we kiss. Forever I will be tortured by these thoughts and dreams of Aria, I'm never going to get past her. I mean how do you get over someone who is perfect. She has big beautiful brown eyes that shine and her hair is long and dark brown almost black in some lights but sometimes her hair seems a lot lighter than it is. Her skin is perfect and fair, her lips are pink and round.. perfection is all I see in her. I've known her since middle school, the day we met we were thirteen and in eighth grade. Alison introduced us, she has no idea what a wonderful thing she has made my life with that one introduction. When I met Aria she smiled really big and her eyes got all wide, she said

"Your Spencer Hastings, we have English together, you are crazy smart" She was nervous and seemed embarrassed that she had just said that. So I said

" Thank you, so are you, I actually had to grade your paper last week and it was amazing" She smiled and thanked me, before this week that conversation was just how I met my friend Aria Montgomery, but now it made me smile and feel funny inside like someone was tickling me or something. now it was the day I met the girl I liked Aria.

Today was May thirteenth, Last week on the fifth I realized how I feel for Aria. We were at Hanna's house,

"Oh my god!" Hanna screamed

"Ewe" Aria squealed, as I smiled at the little squeal from Aria thinking about how cute a noise it was, all the other girls watched the Horror movie.

"I'm getting more chips" Hanna got up

"I'm coming" Aria jumped to her feet, "Pause the movie" Emily reached for the remote, but it wasn't close enough to her and she fell on her face, right of the bed. Aria and Hanna burst out laughing, Emily got up to her feet after pausing the movie she said

"Come on its not that funny, and by the way I'm fine thanks for asking" Aria and Hanna left the room tripping over each other, still laughing at Emily. Arias laugh made me smile as big as I could, it was contagious and so cute. Emily noticed I was acting strange,

"Are you ok?" She asked me "Spence!" She yelled, cause I didn't answer her in fact I didn't even look at her cause I was still thinking about Aria.

"Oh yeah I'm fine" I quickly muttered, and then turned to face Emily.

"Spence, your acting strange, you didn't freak out about the guys face getting eaten by birds like everyone else did and you didn't laugh when I fell or when Hanna laughed so hard earlier that soda came out her nose."

"Sorry" I smiled, trying to seem normal, I had no idea what I was feeling right now. I knew I had new feeling for Aria but I didn't know what they meant or how to figure them out.

"Why are you acting weird?" Emily laced her fingers into mine, and tightened her hand so she was holding my hand as tight as she could. "You can tell me"

"Em its nothing, I promise" I looked her in the eyes and smiled a genuine smile

"I saw you smile at Aria like ten times tonight, and not for any reason just cause you wanted to, and I saw you look all freaked out and then happy when Aria held your hand when she was scared during the movie"

"So" I was confused for a second until it all came together. "Oh my god Em...I'm in love with Aria"

"Yeah" She laughed I got that "Don't worry I've been here before with Ali, and you can always ask me advice about Aria"

"Advice!?" I screamed "She doesn't like me that way"

"Who?" Aria ran up and jumped on my back giggling, making me fall the floor and when I opened my eyes was looking into her eyes big and beautiful I couldn't breathe I felt like I was going to faint just having her lay on me like this. she kept giggling and said

"Who doesn't like you Spence?"

"Oh um some guy In my history class, who I think is cute" I lied

"He's crazy If he doesn't like you, you are to pretty and smart for this world" Aria smiled "He's missing out" Once Aria was up and off me and sitting with Hanna waching the movie and laughing some more, Emily leaned over to me, and said

"Advice on how to deal with that"
