Spencer took a deep breath as she adjusted her backpack and entered the school building; she ignored all the looks of pity as she made her way to her locker.

"How are you sweetie?" Clay asked as he appeared beside her.

"I'm fine," Spencer lied as she opened her locker and grabbed her history book before closing it behind her and taking Clay's arm allowing him to lead her to their lunch bench.

Clay gave her a knowing look but decided to let it go, "have you talked to her yet?"

Spencer frowned as she shook her head no. "I just can't believe she lied to me," she said as tears fell.

"Oh Spencer don't cry," Clay said as he rubbed her back.

"I just can't believe she was seeing Aiden behind my back why couldn't she just be honest with me?"

"Do you have feelings for her?" Clay asked.

Spencer wiped her eyes as she nodded her head yes.

"Oh sweetheart," Clay said as Spencer broke down again. He pulled her into a tight hug and continued to hold her until the bell rang.

Spencer watched Ashley throughout the day and had to admit the other girl looked devastated people were barely talking to her and Aiden refused to even look at her. She had to admit she was happy about that part, but she couldn't understand why he was upset he had known they were dating, granted it was a lie but still damn it she was pissed.

She was so lost in her thoughts she didn't realize there was a person in front of her until she crashed into them, "oh shit sorry," Spencer said as she looked up and into the concerned eyes of Ashley.

"Are you okay?" she asked as she placed her arm on Spencer's bicep.

"Fine," Spencer mumbled as she melted at the touch.

Ashley cringed at the coldness in Spencer's voice, she knew she deserved it but it still hurt. "I'm so sorry Spencer," Ashley said as tears welled in her eyes. "I never meant for it to go this far and to hurt anyone."

"Why lie to me?" Spencer asked as she hugged her binder closer to her chest.

Ashley took a deep breath and ran her hands threw her hair.

Spencer looked away as she smiled, she knew Ashley did that when she was nervous and she thought it was utterly adorable.

"You knew I liked Aiden and then this whole pretending to be gay thing sort of happened and well he thought it would be a good idea if we dated secretly and so we did. I'm sorry and should have told you I just didn't know how too."

Spencer nodded as she listened. "You know you can tell me anything right?"

"Of course I do, you're my best friend," Ashley said with a smile.

Spencer frowned as she looked away.

"Did I say something wrong?" Ashley asked as she tried to get Spencer to look at her.

Spencer wiped her eyes as she turned around, "no you didn't. But there is something I need to tell you."

"Okay just tell me," Ashley said as she took Spencer's hand.

Spencer took a few deep breaths before speaking, "Ashley I'm, oh god," Spencer began to cry.

Ashley pulled her into a hug and held her tight, "what it Spence?"

"I'm in love with you," Spencer mumbled into Ashley's shoulder.

Ashley pulled away, shock written all over her face.

"Please say something," Spencer begged as tears fell from her eyes.

"Spencer I love you you're my best friend but only in that way. I'm in love with Aiden," Ashley said as she wiped away the tears that were falling from Spencer's eyes.

Spencer pulled away, "you love him?"

Ashley nodded, "yes I do, I'm so sorry," she began but Spencer cut her off.

"No don't even say it, just leave me alone!" Spencer shouted as she turned on her heel and stormed off.

"Spencer wait," Ashley called as she watched her go.

Clay jumped when he heard a banging on his door. "Oh Spencer," he cried out when the broken girl stood there on his porch. He pulled her inside and led her to the couch.

"I told her how I felt and she has feelings for Aiden," Spencer cried out as she cried into Clay's shoulder.

"Oh sweetie," Clay said as he rubbed her back. "You know what this calls for," he said as he got up and headed towards the kitchen.

Spencer smiled when he returned with a carton of ice cream. He handed it to her and turned on the TV, "Mean Girls," they both said at the same time as they both giggled.

Spencer cuddled close to Clay as he started the movie.

"Are you sure you are going to be okay?" Clay asked as he held the door open for Spencer.

"I will be fine," Spencer said as she kissed his cheek and turned to leave.

"It's her loss anyways!" Clay shouted.

Spencer turned towards him with a smile, "damn straight it is."
