The next morning, the fresh scent of coffee filled Spencer and Aria's nose. The sun shining through the curtains that they had forgotten to close it, or perhaps the soft glow of the moonlight during the night made them feel safer after the movie they had watched the day before.

Glancing at her cell phone screen, Spencer misread the time and jumped out of bed, thinking she was late for class already. When she turned her body to walk down the hall to her room, she bumped into something had and warm while she felt two hands keeping her balance for her.

"Why up so early?" Toby asked chuckling, finding the sleepy girl in front of him amusing.

"Early? Are you kidding? I'm already late for class." Spencer tried to push past him, but he was still holding her into place. Showing his phone to her, where a big clock appeared, he couldn't help but laugh when she figured the time out.

"It's still 6 am, class doesn't start until 8. You're definitely not late." Spencer let out a relieved sigh, turned around and walked over to her much needed morning coffee she had first smelled first thing when she woke up.


"Did you sleep alright?" Toby asked her, joining her on the counter's stools, drinking from his mug.

"Yeah, I think I had a few nightmares throughout the night but it was alright." A silence fell upon them, the birds chirping outside being their only melody. After their mugs were empty and the birds were done singing for them, Aria entered the kitchen, rubbing her eyes tiredly.

"Good morning." Her voice was low and hushed while Spencer couldn't help but smirk.

"Hi."

"I'll put everything back in place guys." Toby walked back over to the living room, folding the blankets and putting the mattress back in each girl's room.


Once the clock struck 8 o'clock, Aria, Spencer and Toby were ready and out of the door, their books and bags in hands. "Thanks for staying in with us Toby." Aria spoke up as Spencer locked the door behind them.

"No problem. We should go out after class. Get an ice cream maybe. I'm going out for some skating around, if you girls would like to come…"

"Do you have skates to borrow us?" Aria asked excitedly.

"Yes, I have quite a few and Holden is going too. Do you girls prefer longboards or skates?"

"Longboards, not a fan of flips and ollies." Toby was surprised Aria even knew the name of the maneuvers guys did on skate, girls also, but still, not Aria. Being unusual quiet, Spencer started to walk ahead of them, wanting nothing but to get to class where the A/C would be on and she would pay attention to whatever class subject she would be having today. Not that she wasn't excited to go out skate with her friends, she really was, but the heat could sometimes bring her mood down a little.

"Are you in Spence?" She heard Aria yelling after her.

"Yup, if you want to go, I'm in." Putting up a jog, Toby and Aria caught up to her and they walked together to campus together.


"God, I need some vacations right now." Spencer sighed, Aria linking their arms together, walking their way out of campus.

"I know, I need too."

"Did you talk to Toby?"

"Not yet, but I think we should go home and leave our things in there. Maybe change clothes and stuff." Aria motioned for their bags and books, emphasizing her point.

"Yeah, that's a very good idea."

On their path home, already memorized by heart and mind, Aria and Spencer talked about everything but mostly how they couldn't way to go back home soon. Though Spencer's parents were rough to deal with, there was much more to going back home, than just to reunite with the two people that brought her to life. There were the ones that actually made her life fun and worth living.


After putting on some proper clothes to do any kind of sports, Spencer let herself lay on the couch, waiting for Toby to arrive.

"I'm tired." She mumbled, her eyes heavy with fatigue.

"Get up, otherwise you'll fall asleep."

A loud shout came through their opened front window so Aria decided to see if the guys had arrived. And like predicted, Toby was on the street standing on top of a longboard skate, holding two other ones in each hand. Holden was beside him, performing some tricks he sometimes succeeded on doing.

"COME ON DOWN GIRLS!" Forcing herself out of the couch, Spencer walked down the stairs with Aria to meet the boys.

She was surprised when she found Toby shirtless on top of that board. He had a really beautiful abdomen, one she only thought existed on actors or models. She couldn't deny he had one heck of a body, looking like Hercules

"Hi Toby, Holden." Both girls acknowledged the guys, the sun blinding their eyes since they had forgotten to get sunglasses.

They got on top of the board Toby had handed them, and though Spencer was not for adventures, she knew how to skate board quite properly since she had Jason as a brother.

"You got it Spencer?" Toby asked with a huge smile on his face.

"Yep, where are we going to?" They started to ride along the road, Holden and Aria already ahead of them.

"Not sure. Just go with the flow. So how was class today?" The early evening breeze blowing his hair, Toby saw how Spencer was squeezing her eyes to keep the light from blinding her.

"Exhausting, I want to go back home already." Using her right foot to gain speed so the board would move, Spencer got a little too much of speed and ended up passing Toby, leaving him to catch up with her not short after.

"You mean now?" Using her left hand to block the sun, Spencer slightly turned to look at him.

"No. I meant vacations back home in Rosewood."

"Hey, wait a sec." He came to a halt beside her, handing his clubmaster ray-ban sunglasses to her.

"Thanks." Good heartedly smiling at him, Spencer put on his glasses, that fitted perfectly.

"No problem. So tell me more about back home." They started riding again, Holden and Aria already way ahead of them, maybe two blocks.

"Rosewood is a small city in Pennsylvania, where I grew up with Aria and more two other best friends. It's also the place where everybody knows everybody and if you make one single mistake the town ought to know about it, and probably nobody will forget it."

Toby looked interested, sometimes glancing at Spencer to see her talking, her face showed no emotion whatsoever, but when she talked about her two other friends Toby swear he saw a smile take place on her lips.

"What about your parents?"

"I'll tell you about my parents when you tell me about yours." She smirked and started to gain speed to catch up with Aria to avoid any kind of awkwardness between them.

"FAIR ENOUGH." Toby yelled after her and followed right away, getting to Holden before she could reach half of the way to them.


"The sun looks beautiful from here." Aria broke the comfortable silence between the 4 friends as they watched the sun set on a park that had skate ramp where he could do some tricks and show off for some girls that were passing by.

"It really does. It's amazing how beautiful Mother Nature can be most times." Spencer added, her brown eyes never leaving the big fire ball setting before her.

"Yes it is." Toby's blue iris were on Spencer's feature, admiring how she placed his sunglass on top of her head, keeping her hair out of her face, and how her eyes looked beautiful when filled with bright light. Thankfully for him, only Holden caught him staring at her and he didn't say one single word.

"I think is better if we get home now." Aria spoke up again, getting up and helping Spencer up too.

"Race you guys back home!" Aria, Toby and Holden were surprised when Spencer shouted and was suddenly already on top of her board kicking the street with her right foot to go really fast, her 3 stunned friends following her actions. Toby got to Spencer first, being a gentleman and standing beside her and not stealing her first place over their race.


"Alright you won Spence!" Toby admitted his defeat, even though he didn't know Spencer was not one to accept defeat herself, even in a friendly race back home, which took them about 20 minutes or so.

Toby was second, Aria was third and Holden was last, but only because he had encountered a piece of wood in the middle of the street and had to suddenly throw his skate to the side so he wouldn't fall over, and that was 5 feet away from the finish line, making Aria the third place and not last.

"I knew I would win. When I competing, I'm in for first place, perhaps second, but I prefer first."

"Trust her when she tells you she only likes to win." Aria laughed and handed back Toby's board, Spencer doing the same.

"We should do this again some other time guys." Holden said, winking secretly to Toby.

"Definitely." Spencer said, remembering Toby's ray-ban on her head, giving it back to him, but he refused.

"Give it to me tomorrow. I might break it if I go home with two skates in hand and one sunglass on my head. I'm a disaster believe me." Spencer smiled and gave him a one arm hug, slightly feeling his torso muscles, waving at Holden when she stepped on the steps to her apartment.

"Take care." Aria waved back, finally going up to their condo.


"Oh my God! Did you see the way Toby looked at you when we were watching the sunset?" Aria burst into Spencer room when she realized she was out of the shower and already in bed.

"Nope. We were watching the sun idiot."

"I'm seriously his eyes were all over your face. He was so sweet to you today." Aria got under the covers beside Spencer and turned off the lights.

"Sure Aria, you are welcome to sleep in my bed." The sarcasm on her voice was evident, but it was also a joke so she wasn't seriously asking Aria to leave. And if she would admit she liked being close to her best friend since her parents were far away now.

"Good night." And just then, Spencer felt home-sick, never had wished more to be back home, on her bed, her own room she grew up in, with her annoying parents and her loved best friends. Spencer had to admit she couldn't wait for finals to be over now, so she could fill that longing hole in her heart to be back home in Rosewood.
