Chapter 34
Later that night
I was sitting in bed, doing my homework when my phone beeped.
'Meet me on your swing set.' Toby sent and I pulled my high tops on before heading out into the backyard. As I got closer, I could tell he was nervous about something.
"What's going on?" I asked, sitting into the swing next to his and he sighed.
"I'm in love with someone... and it could change everything if she found out. I'm in love with Spencer." Toby said and sighed.
"Was that the real reason you got mad when she was going on a date with Dave?" I asked and he shrugged then nodded.
"Yes and no. Yes, because I wanted to be the one going out with her not Dave. And No because he really isn't this great guy he acts like in school, I didn't want Spencer to get hurt." He said and groaned as he put his face in his hands.
"You can't tell her, ok? I can't lose her as a friend, I wish they had told us back in middle school that our teen years would be confusing as hell." He said and I rested my hand on his shoulder.
"I won't tell her, but I've always had a feeling you liked her. You look at her the way a guy looks at a girl he loves." I said and he chuckled before kissing my cheek.
"See you tomorrow, and thanks." He said, getting off the swing and disappearing into the night.
