So, I have been lurking on Fan Fiction for a little while, and I finally decided to write my own story. This is a Spoby story (Spencer Hastings and Toby Cavanaugh), and it will have multiple chapters. I hope all of the readers will like it! I will include other couples, but they will not be the focus of the story. You can read and find out what happens! This is just a recreated love story of Spoby, but they are in high school here. Both of them. Toby never dropped out of school, and he isn't the school outcast. Alison is alive. Hanna is not hefty, and Emily is openly gay. She has already come out of the closet.
Chapter 1
Spencer walks to school. She sees her four best friends standing outside of Rosewood High School: Aria Montgomery, Emily Fields, Hanna Marin, and Alison DiLaurentis. She smiles and walks up to her best friends, who all greet her with warm hellos. Her friends are the only thing that can keep her sane at school, with all the pressure from her family. She is supposed to try to break from the shadow of her Little Miss Perfect older sister Melissa Hastings. She hates being in Melissa's shadow.
Aria: Hey Spence! Did you do the homework for Fitz's class?
Spencer: Yeah. Did you?
Aria: Mhmm, but I didn't understand the part about iambic pentameter-
Alison: Gosh, would you nerds stop talking about school, please? I hate school!
Aria: Ali, we don't like school, we just need the good grades. We're juniors, you know. There's not much time left until college.
Alison: A year is plenty of time, trust me. Let's talk about boys instead. I have a crush on this really hot guy. He's a little bit older than us, but he's super hot and awesome. I've been crushing on him for a while now.
Hanna: Ooh! Hottie, huh? Do you think he likes you back?
Alison: Of course, Hanna. If he doesn't, I can make him like me. There's not a boy at this school that I can't get!
Emily: Guys, it's almost time for school to start. We should get to Mr. Fitz's class.
Alison: I don't have Mr. Fitz, Emily.
Emily: Oh right... Well, the rest of us have to go. Bye, Ali!
She swears she sees Emily give her the cutest smile ever, but she brushes it off and walks to her separate first period class. It sucks that she is the only one who doesn't have English with Mr. Fitz for first period. Maybe she should have requested to take AP English. She wants to get to know Aria's hubby, anyways. She finds it weird when Aria calls him Ezra, so she forced her to call him Mr. Fitz around her.
Ezra: Welcome, class. Today should be running as a normal day, but first, I would like you guys to meet a new student here at Rosewood High! Introduce yourself, kid.
The guy smiles weakly.
Guy: Uh... I'm Toby Cavanaugh.
Ezra: Welcome, Toby. Let's find you a seat. Oh, how about that open seat next to Spencer Hastings? Spencer, please raise your hand.
Toby sees a beautiful brunette raise her hand. He gives her a little smile as he sits down in the seat next to her.
Ezra: Okay, let's get to work, class. Spencer, if Toby needs a hand, help him out. He'll probably be a little lost, since we're halfway into the chapter. Toby, I'll find a way for you to do some make up work.
Toby: Alright. Thanks, Mr. Fitz.
Ezra nods his head and starts teaching the lesson. The Toby guy is new, but he doesn't have a single question! How is he so smart? Spencer finds it peculiar. She swears that she sees him glance at her a few times during the lesson... his eyes are so sexy and blue... The bell finally rings, and Spencer stops thinking about his pretty eyes. At last!
Hanna: What do you guys think of the new guy? I think he's pretty cute.
Emily (laughs): Hanna, you have a boyfriend! Does the name Caleb Rivers ring a bell?
Hanna: Of course, Emily. I love Caleb so much, but it doesn't mean I can't find the new guy a hunk. Which one of our single friends are going to flirt it up with the new guy?
Emily: Don't look at me! I may be single, but I'm gay.
Hanna: True that. Sp-
Spencer: Don't even say my name, Hanna!
Hanna: Why not? Ali would be proud if you found a guy.
Spencer: I'm not interested in him.
Aria: Guys, leave her alone. If she's not interested, she's not interested. You can't force love.
Hanna: Of course, Aria would know because she's in love! Speaking of love, shouldn't you be staying behind for your sexy talk with Ezra? You know, how you both pretend to be having a regular student to teacher conversation, but really close the door and start making out.
Aria (rolls her eyes): Kinky, but, I really do want to talk to Ezra. I miss him. Besides, it's annoying that Alison won't let me say his first name around her. I'm glad I can say it around you guys.
Hanna: Ezra, Ezra, Ezra! I love that name, actually. Alison can't stop me.
Emily (giggles): Oh Hanna, you're so silly.
Hanna: I try, Em, I try.
Aria: Okay, I'm seriously going to go talk to Ezra. God, I love saying that! Later, guys.
Spencer: Goodbye, Aria!
Alison's phone buzzes. She reads the text, and gets angry.
Babe, you gotta stop texting. Melissa's gonna know.
She hates to know that he's with Melissa. That bitch! Why does she get to have her crush? So she needs attention . As sour as it seems, she's going to get some attention, maybe from the next helpless boy to walk around. That lucky bastard would be the prey of Alison DiLaurentis. Sure, they were going to be used, but they still got to say they dated Alison DiLaurentis, and that's a pretty big accomplishment.
Alison: Hey, hottie. Who are you? New here? I haven't seen your pretty face around this school before.
Toby: Uh... Yeah, I'm new here. Nice to meet you?
Alison (giggles flirtatiously): Oh, you're such a sexy guy. Maybe I could show you around.
Toby (flinches): No... Uh, it's fine. I had someone else show me around.
Alison: That's a shame. Want to come over to my place after school? I can be your first friend here. Or, maybe more... If you want... You know.
Toby (bites his lip): So, what's your name?
Alison: Alison DiLaurentis! Haven't you heard my name around school yet?
Toby (nods): Oh, yeah. I've heard plenty. I just didn't know what you looked like. Well, wow. I'm meeting the infamous Alison DiLaurentis.
Alison: Yeah, you are. And I would love it if you came over.
Toby: Why me? We don't even know each other well.
Alison: I like to try new things. Come on, hottie. Please?
Toby (shakes his head): I'm sorry, I can't. I... uh... have to get straight home.
Alison (nods her head): Okay, fine. Maybe another time. Can I at least get your name, Hunky Pants?
Toby (swallows): Oh... I'm Toby Cavanaugh.
Alison: Nice name, babe. Call me Ali. Everyone does.
Toby: Okay, Ali. Sorry I can't come over. I'll see you soon.
Toby goes to his next class— French class. He sees the girl from his English class. The pretty brunette he sits next to! Spencer Hastings. Yeah, that's her name. He likes that name. It's a unique one. He doesn't hear it every day.
Toby: Hey. Remember me, Spencer? From English?
Spencer (smiles): Oh yeah! Hey, new guy. How's your first day so far?
Toby: Pretty good. I think I kinda like this school.
Spencer (laughs bitterly): HA. Good one. You won't like it for long. Trust me.
Toby (nods): I'm just being as polite as possible.
Spencer (laughs bitterly again): Well, don't be so polite all the time. There's a word for that. It's called being a fake. And let me tell you something, Toby, no one in the world is always polite. If they are too polite, they're fake.
Toby (grinning): So, you have strong opinions about the world.
Spencer: I may be a slight bit blunt.
Toby: I can tell.
Spencer: I'll talk to you later. Class is going to start.
Toby is confused when the French teacher starts babbling in French. He wonders why he requested to be in AP French! He can't handle this pace. He sighs as he tries to keep up. He glances at Spencer, and she seems to be comprehending everything. She's taking notes, raising her hand, speaking fluently (and damn, he found her speaking in French sexy as hell!). He knows he's going to fail this class. For sure.
When the bell rings, he's freaking out. Spencer notices and walks up to him.
Spencer: I noticed your freaking out. You okay? Is Mr. DeLuca's pace too fast for you?
Toby (nods): At my old school, they didn't go this fast!
Spencer: It's okay. You'll get better at it. Maybe you need a tutor.
Toby (smiles): Yeah, that's a good idea. I should look for a tuto—
Spencer: I can tutor you, Toby!
Toby: Wait, really?
Spencer: Of course, really. I'm great at French, and you need help. Tutoring someone is going to help me look better. And I'm sure Mr. DeLuca would be impressed if he knew.
Toby (laughs): So, I'm getting a vibe that you like to impress people.
Spencer: You know it!
Toby: You could say that I'm impressed by you.
Spencer (blushes); Well... Um... Thanks, Toby. When should we start the tutoring?
Toby: As soon as possible. I don't want to fall behind in class.
After school, Spencer and Toby meet up.
Toby: You ready?
Spencer: Yeah, you want to go to the library to study?
Toby: Sure, let's go. Thanks again, Spencer.
Spencer: Of course. No problem.
But, Alison watched them. He said he has to go home. So why is he with SPENCER HASTINGS? Alison DiLaurentis doesn't like to be rejected. She never is. Until now.
