The coast is clear! Hanna's with Mona, they left the parking lot 5 minutes ago; I'm going to Ezra's. See you later at Spencer's. Good Luck with our mission! Xoxo -Aria

When I received the message from Aria, I grabbed my things and went straight to the parking lot where Spencer's already waiting for me. She's in her car, tapping the steering wheel, patiently waiting for me. I opened the door and climbed at the passenger's seat.

"Hey! Maybe we could grab a snack on the way home." Spencer proposed. Maybe this is a good thing I can get to fake-date my two best friends, decide what I really feel about them and prevent Aria's relationship from being exposed. Wait, who am I kidding? Sooner or later our secrets will be revealed. "Emily are you alright?"

"Did you know Dolphin are just gay sharks?" Tap. Tap. Tap.

"WHAT?"

"Glee! Spencer that was what Brittany asked Santana in one of the episode of Glee. That was hilarious!" Tap. Tap. Tap.

"Okay so that was supposed to be a joke?"

"No that was supposed to be my reminder that Spencer Hasting is boring!" Tap .Tap. Tap.

"I am not boring and who are you texting?"

"I texted Aria, I asked her if she can picked up my things cause I'm going straight to your house."

Spencer's phone chimed. Once. Twice. Then thrice. We looked at each other for a few seconds before she opened her phone, and read the messages. I gave her a concerned look, touch her shoulder to see if she's on shock. She looked at me with wide eyes. She looked mad then she shook her head.

"Everything okay Spence?" I asked her. I am still concern with the way she looked after she read the messages.

"Yeah. Yeah. I'm fine! I just thought it was from A but it was just mom reminding me of stuff I need to do." Her eyes was staring at me but it feels like she's not really looking at me. "How about Pizza? Let's just have it delivered at my house, I am not in the mood to hang around town, I am a little concerned about Hanna."

I nodded. Off course it was Hanna we have to be careful with this. NO SPACE FOR FLAWS.

A few minutes later, we arrived at the Hastings'. "You're really not mad at me?" I been asking her the same question almost the whole ride. She told me she's not but her eyes tells otherwise. "I need you to be honest with me Spencer. This is important!" Hypocrite, I am such a hypocrite. Now I am asking honesty from a person I am not being fully honest with.

"Em, I understand why you're doing this but this is a little too risky. That was wrong, it's too risky!" I grabbed both her hands to calm her down. Oh Spencer, she appears to be strong and stable but when she thinks she can't handle a situation she panics, and sometimes goes berserk. I know right now to calm her down is to touch her, hold her hands and make sure that I am just right beside her. I pouted, she smiled. "Stop being cute Em, I am still worried though."

"I know but as for now this is the best way to handle this situation." Hiding it from Hanna not being cute offcourse.

"Okay, let just go in and call for the pizza!"

"That's my Spencer!" I smiled at her. If I need to put a lot of mask in my pocket to wear in this show, I would. I'll satisfy A! They may think that this is all a big joke but at the end of the day the joke is on A. I'll make sure of that!


After Spencer made a call for our pizza she left me in their living room, I must admit that I missed being here. We usually spend our sleepovers here because Spencer's parents are always on a business trip. I sat down on the couch reminiscing.

"A penny for your thoughts!" I was snap back to reality, Spencer was standing at the bottom of the stairs, staring at me while I was day dreaming.

"There are just so many great memories here and I can't believe…"

"Everything is about to change?" she cuts me off. That's not what I was going to say. I can still see that she's worried. So I tapped the space beside me commanding her to sit, she didn't hesitate. She sat so close to me and I felt the coldness of her body. Wait is she nervous? Then I realized we're alone in her house. I held her hands which were iced cold and sweating.

"I didn't know Ms. Spencer Hastings gets nervous?" Then I giggled. If this would be an ordinary day, a day which A does not exist I would have been the one who is nervous. Maybe I won't even ride a car with Spencer, if it would just be the two of us. But because of this freakin' show I am playing/starring I needed to be ballsy, valiant, plucky, badass Emily. I must say, somehow I am liking the new me.

"Emily, I..I…" I cupped her face making her stop. I am not ready for this. I know what she was about say, that she loves me and I won't be able to reply. We are to close and this proximity is my fault, I shouldn't have asked her to sit beside. What the hell am I going to do? I am holding the face of my best friend which I am now pretending to date, and I can almost feel her breath against my face. My heart was ready to jump out my chest. She puts her hands at the back of my neck pulling me closer. Damnit, this isn't what we planned! A said to date them both, I expected holding hands and hugging, I didn't anticipate kissing and not this soon. Not in day 1!

DING DONG.

Saved by the bell. Spencer let go of me and stood up, I let out a breath that I was holding for long time, and then my breathing became rapid. I was freakin' nervous alright! I looked up and Spencer was still in front of me standing, her arms crossed, wearing her signature half-smirk.

"I didn't know your like that when you're nervous!" she told me while she turn around to answer the door.

This is absurd! I cannot do this anymore. It's either we get caught or I'll die from a heart attack.

I was still panting when Spencer came back; she doesn't have a box of pizza with her, but with her was Hanna looking so concerned when she saw me panting. She rushed by my side asked me if I was okay. I looked at Spencer, she just nodded wearing a poker face.

"What did you do to her Spence?"

Spencer just turned around when Hanna confronted her. "I'll get her a glass of water."

I poked Hanna's cheek. My breathing was going back to normal. "When did you become over-protective Marin?"

"Since I admitted to myself that I was in love with my best friend!" she told me matter-of-factly, I was taken aback; I didn't expect that, it was too straightforward. So Hanna Marin, no running around the bushes.

Spencer came back with a glass of water with her and handed it to me. Then she sat beside me, making me between her and Hanna. Awkward!

Aria and I decided that if ever I am with Spencer and Hanna, the show would be on break. But since I have so much adrenaline in me and I was already being ballsy, might as well take advantage of this awkwardness. "So, Caleb and Toby…" I know saying their names will trigger something inside both of them. I felt Spencer sat straight while Hanna moved away from me. I really wanted to talk to them about that topic. "Maybe we can talk about them?"

"Maybe we don't want to talk about them." Hanna said, her arms crossed while she laid her back on the couch.

"Why not? You want us to talk right?" I taste the acidity of my own sarcasm. If I continue this we would end up fighting or not talking, but I need to know. I need to know why the hell they need to end up their relationships with their boyfriends. "Hanna, Caleb was your first! Spencer what you have with Toby is special!" I want an explanation.

"Was Em, it was special. I couldn't stay with him because I am not being fair…"

"Same here Em! Caleb is a great guy but he's not the person I want to be with."

Okay. Again that was awkward maybe I should have asked them that privately.

"Fine! But you two understand that you're destroying the friendship we built like forever, right?" I need to say that on their faces. "I can't choose between the two of you because it will end up hurting someone."

My phone chimed. "F*ck me!" I said with gritted teeth.

Stop being so dramatic and continue with the show! Make your move with the blonde; remember Aria is counting on you! -A

DING DONG. WE all screamed, took advantage of the situation and deleted A's message.
