Quinn's POV

The past few days were like a dream. I spent practically all my time with Spencer. She was fiercely independent, strong, highly intelligent and big-hearted. We shared almost all the same classes, and our bodies were almost always touching in some way.

We talked about everything from how our days were going to our thoughts on movies coming out this weekend. Our mutual love for books and our favorites within specific genres.

I started getting to know Spencer's friends. I found I loved Aria's taste in music. Hanna and I had lots in common from being the heavy girl gone queen bee to our love for shopping. I shared Emily's love of and views on athleticism.

I'd never given much thought to the idea of being anything other than straight, but since I moved to Rosewood, I'd been given a lot to think about.

I hadn't even been here a week, and I was already falling for Spencer.

Logically, I knew I shouldn't be getting attached so quickly. I knew that it was a possibility that I was just a rebound in Spencer's attempt at getting over her ex-boyfriend who'd betrayed her and hurt her badly. I knew that if I were to ever be found with Spencer by my parents, I'd lose my family again, probably for good. I knew that I should be cautious of someone who's willing to kiss a complete stranger before even saying a word.

But logic had no place here when my heart and my gut were telling me that she could be the one I would spend forever with. And I couldn't help but hope and pray that she was.

"Hey you," Spencer said as she came up beside me. She matched my pace as I walked through the hallway heading for the sweet freedom of the outdoors. She threaded her fingers through mine and I felt so contented that the world seemed to melt away.

"Hey back," I said.

"How was Pre-Calc?" Spencer asked.

Pre-Calculus was one of the two classes we didn't share. It also happened to be my last period class.

"Fine," I said. "Boring mostly. Mr. Presbie is still reviewing. Would I be too eager if I told you that I'm really excited for tonight?"

We would be going on our first official date, running out on our parents' business party not withstanding.

"Not at all," Spencer said. "I'm really looking forward to taking you out."
