"What do you guys think about me changing my hair?" Hanna asked the girls at lunch. Like everyday Spencer is sitting with her friends talking about girl stuff. Spencer just shrugged and bit the lettuce off her fork.

"Why do you want to change your hair?" Emily asked.

Hanna shrugged, "I don't know. I feel like I could use a little change in my life."

"What were you thinking of doing with your hair?" Aria asked.

"I was thinking of getting black strands underneath."

"That could be cute," Aria said.

"I like your hair the way it is," Mona said.

Hanna shook her head and put away her pocket mirror. For some reason, Aria looked like she was uncomfortable. She kept shifting herself in her seat and crossing and uncrossing her legs.

"Aria why are you acting like you have ants in your pants?" Spencer asked.

"I'm a little on the edge this morning," she said.

"How come?" Emily asked.

"Ezra and I had a fight last night and I haven't been able to sit still ever since."

"What did you to have a fight over?" Hanna asked. "Which classic book is better?"

"No," she said. "It was something else that I can't talk about."

"We're your friends we tell each other everything," Spencer said.

Aria gave her a look, "everything?"

"Okay. I haven't told you guys everything," Spencer admitted.

"Would you care to fill us in on what we don't know?"

"I uh spent the weekend with Toby that's all."

"Must have been nice to get a little coupes time in this weekend," Mona said.

"It was. We watched movies and cuddled. It was nice to just be together without having to worry about my parents catching us."

"Spencer we know that we tend to pry into your personal life, but you don't have to tell us every time when you spend time with Toby," Hanna said. "Unless something else between you two happened."

"Nothing too important happened. We just spent the weekend together doing what any other couple would do."

Mona gave her a look, "care to clue us in a little more on what you mean?"

Spencer set her fork down on her tray and sighed.

"Well, on Saturday Toby and I spent the night together."

"So you've spent the night at Toby's place before," Aria.

"Yes, but we've never spent the night 'together'."

The girls all looked up at her when they realized what she meant. Hanna dropped her sandwich and stared at Spencer like she was crazy.

"You slept with Toby," Mona said.

Spencer bit her lip, "yeah."

"Oh my god," Hanna said. "When?"

"Saturday night, weren't you listening?" Spencer said.

"I can't believe you slept with Toby. You," Aria said.

"Why can't you believe it? I'm his girlfriend."

"It's just I never thought you would sleep with your boyfriend this early on in a relationship."

"We've been together for awhile."

"Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm glad you're happy with Toby. You deserve to be happy."

"Thank you."

"So," Mona smirked. "Is Toby any good in bed?"

Spencer just smiled and went back to poking at her salad with her fork. Aria is still acting a little strange. She's acting even more strange since she learned about Spencer spending the night with Toby. Emily noticed how strange she's been acting and made a mental note to ask her later.

"So, where is Toby now?" Emily asked.

"What do you mean?"

"He usually sits with us and I haven't even seen him at school today."

"Oh, he has an interview with Good Morning America tomorrow so he left early this morning."

"That's awesome," Mona said. "I'm guessing Ezra went with Toby."

"Yeah," Aria said.

"That's exciting," Mona said. "I think it's great that Toby is being noticed a lot more."

The bell for the end of lunch rang. Spencer and the girls started gathering their stuff to leave. Emily and Hanna, however, planned to stay back and find out why Aria is acting so weird. Spencer, Mona, and Aria stood up, but the other two remained sitting.

"Aren't you two coming to class?" Spencer asked.

"We will," Emily said.

"We just wanted a moment to talk," Hanna added.

Spencer and Mona started walking away. Hanna grabbed Aria's hand and tugged her back down in her seat. Aria looked at them with wide eyes.

"What's going on?" Aria asked.

"What's going on with us?" Hanna questioned. "What's going on with you. You are all jittery."

"It's nothing," Aria insisted.

"Does this have to do with your fight with Ezra?" Emily asked.

"No," Aria lied. They gave her a look. "Okay, yes, it is"

"Aria, what's going on?" Emily asked. "What did you and Ezra fight about?"

Aria sighed, "we fought about Spencer and Toby."

"Why were you fighting about them?"

"Are you jealous of their relationship or something?" Hanna asked.

"No, but what Ezra is insisting is just horrible and I can't believe he actually thinks this would be a good idea for Spencer and Toby," Aria replied while shaking her head.

"I don't understand, what did he say?" Emily asked.

"Ezra!" Aria shouted across the parking lot. "Ezra get back here!"

Ezra stopped walking and turned around. Aria looked at him furiously. They started off the night over a nice dinner talking about random stuff. Then, Ezra brings up Toby's career and how he doesn't want anything jeopardizing that. He has this idea that if things don't work out for Spencer, one of them or both of them could get seriously hurt. He thinks it would be best of Spencer and Toby either A) try hiding their relationship from the public or B) break up. He wants to protect Toby's career and Aria is furious with his suggestion. They got in a fight about it and Ezra stormed out.

"Ezra we have to talk about this."

"There's nothing to discuss."

"Of course there is something to discuss! What you're saying to me is that Toby and Spencer shouldn't be together."

"No, I just think they need to slow things down a bit. They just started dating two months ago and they're flaunting their relationship like the Titanic! I don't think Toby should be doing that."

"What is so wrong about Toby being proud of who he is with?" Aria questioned. "So what if he and Spencer are hanging out in public together? They are a couple!"

"They shouldn't be together!"

"And why not!"

"Because Spencer's not good enough for him!" Ezra shouted.

Aria stood back in disbelief.

"You… I'm sorry. You don't think Spencer's good enough for Toby?"

Ezra sighed, "no, I don't mean that she's not good enough for him. It's just she's not good for image. Spencer's a good girl and she's falling for a well known pop star. The world of a celebrity is never as easy as it seems and if Spencer get's sucked into that world she will never be left alone. Spencer doesn't deserve to be chased around and have her life ruined by a secret from her past being published in a teen magazine. Believe me that is what will happen to her if she goes out with Toby."

"But Toby loves Spencer and I'm not sure about Spencer, but I'm pretty sure she loves him."

"I know they love each other and yes, maybe Spencer is good for Toby but she can't handle his life. It's too much."

"Okay, I know you feel like you're protecting both of them here, Ezra, but whether she can survive her relationship with Toby and be a part of his world is not for you to decide. Leave it alone and I swear to god, Ezra if you try to do anything that could put their relationship on the rocks we will be over!"

Hanna and Emily sat there in shock. Neither one of them could believe that Ezra wanted to break them up. Here all this time they were thinking he liked them together and supported them.

"I can't believe Ezra wanted to break up Spencer and Toby," Emily said.

"That is horrible. He is horrible. Worse than horrible. He is a dickhead," Hanna said.

"I know," Aria sighed. "I just can't believe he would say those things. Spencer's my best friend and knowing that he wanted to hurt both of them really hits below the belt."

"Did you tell Spencer about this?" Emily asked.

"No, I was going to tell her but then she told us that she and Toby slept together so I backed out."

"You have to tell her. She should know encase Ezra sends her a fake break up letter pretending to be Toby."

"Emily's right," Hanna said. "You should tell Spencer."

Aria bit the inside of her cheek, "you guys are right. I'll tell her after school."

"Good," Hanna said. "And when you see Ezra make sure to kick him in the nuts for me."

"Oh and me," Emily said.

Aria nodded and said, "will do."

Say what you wanna say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say And let the words fall out Honestly I wanna see you be brave

Spencer flipped through her study guide and copied down some notes in her notebook. Mona came over with two cups of coffee and set one in front of her. Spencer smiled and took a sip. Mona sighed heavily as she sat in her seat.

"Something on your mind?" Mona asked.

"The French quiz we have coming up."

"Anything that doesn't have to do with school?"

Spencer set down her pencil, "Toby said he would call me when his plane landed."

"Maybe it hasn't landed yet."

"His flight got in at noon and it is now 2 o'clock."

"He's probably just caught up with fans or something," Mona offered. "He'll call when he can."

"Do you think I gave into Toby too easily? Maybe I'm easy to get with."

"What do you mean?"

"On Saturday, Toby told me he loved me and I said it back. Then the next thing I know I'm jumping into bed with him. Did I take that step to quickly?"

"No, you did not," Mona assured her. "You and Toby have something beautiful. I think it's great that he told you he loves you and clearly he meant it. Guys don't say I love unless they really mean it. Well, some might say it, but most men are spinless and don't like sharing their feelings. Toby loves you and you love him, so no. You did not jump into bed with him too early."

Spencer smiled, "you really think he loves me?"

"Absolutely. Whenever he's around you he just looks at you like you're everything."

"Hanna told me that Toby looks at me the same way Caleb looks at pie."

Mona laughed, "Well, there you go. Caleb loves pie."

She laughed, "yeah. That boy can eat lots of pie."

Toby sat inside his dressing room about ready to go out for his interview with Good Morning America. He's excited yet nervous. He's done interviews before but none this big. While he was fixing up his hair, Ezra knocked on the door then came in.

"Hey," Ezra said. "You better hurry up."

"Relax I'm on in like twenty minutes."

"Good then you and me have a chance to talk."

Ezra shut the door and sat down on his footstool. Toby turned around.

"Talk about what?"

"I want to talk to you about breaking up with Spencer."

To be continued...

Looks like Ezra is going behind Aria's back. What could Ezra possible have to say to him? Will Toby listen? Guess you'll have to find out next chapter. Review this chapter and tell me what you thought. Bye, loves.
