It Never Happened
Toby's POV
There are some things in life that we are for sure of. There are things in life that we know without having to question it. For example most of us know where baby's come from. We know why leaves change in the fall. Despite all of the things that we're sure of, there are also many things that we don't know. For example we don't know why the universe exists. We don't know how the world works. And we don't know why we tend to kiss people that we don't like or at least the people we thought we didn't like.
That night I didn't sleep at all. I was busy lying awake in bed thinking about that kiss. I don't know why I kissed Spencer and I didn't know why I wanted to keep kissing her. It was weird, because when our lips connected it was like a lightning bolt hit us and the world started to make sense. I can't even explain it. There was a part of me that wanted to talk things out with Spencer to figure out what our kiss meant. Another part of me just wanted to forget about t. There was even a small part of me that wanted to grab Spencer and kiss her again. I just can't figure out what is wrong with me. How could one kiss take over my whole brain?
Spencer's POV
Spencer also spent the whole night thinking about that kiss. She stayed up all night and into the morning thinking about it. In life we have questions and when we ask questions they tend to start out with the five Ws. We tend to ask who? What? When? Where? And everyone's favorite question why? In fact why tends to be the question we ask the most. When something happens in life that we don't understand we ask Why. Why? Why? Why?
"Spencer!" my mother called up the stairs. "Get moving you're going to be late for school!"
"Shit!" I mumbled as I kicked the sheets off my body and got out of bed. I didn't have time to take a shower this morning, because it was already 8 o'clock and school starts at 8:15. I ran around my room quickly trying to get myself ready. I put on my clothes and did my makeup. I didn't have time to do my hair this morning, so I just put it up in a sloppy pony tail.
After taking one last look in the mirror, I grabbed my bag and ran down the stairs. I grabbed the to go cup of coffee that my mom left for me on the counter and rushed out the door. The bell already rang by the time I walked through the door. I scrambled to my locker and rushed to my first period. The whole class looked up at me when they saw me walking in late.
"Spencer, you're late," Mrs. Montgomery said.
"I know I'm sorry."
The whole class was still staring at me when I spoke to the teacher. God didn't these people know how to mind their own business? After the teacher gave me my tardy slip, I took my seat next to Toby. People were still looking back at me and I rolled my eyes.
"What's the matter? Haven't you people ever seen a girl walk in late to class before? God I walked in late I didn't kill someone!"
They all turned their attention back to their work and I sighed. I'm so stressed out. With everything that happened last night with my family and with… yikes! I forgot that Toby is sitting right next to me. I turned my head away when he looked at me. This cannot be happening. He can't be looking at me like that. What's his problem? All we did was kiss and he needs to let it go. Just because I can't forget about it doesn't mean he shouldn't. God why did we have to run into each other last night? There's that why question again. Finally the bell rang and everyone stood up to leave. Toby and I didn't get any work done. We were both afraid to speak to each other.
"Hi," Toby finally spoke.
I stopped collecting my stuff. "Don't do that."
"Do what?"
"Talk to me," I said while trying to avoid his gaze. "Don't talk to me and stop looking at me like that."
"Looking at you like what?"
"The way you're looking at me now!" I exclaimed.
"In what way am I looking at you?"
"You're looking at me like we have something to talk about."
"Well don't we have something to talk about?"
"No we don't," I said then started collecting my stuff again.
"Spencer we kissed."
I shook my head "no we didn't."
"Yes we did and you know we did," he said. "You and I kissed on a park bench in the middle of the night. We both know we have to talk about it."
"No we don't, because it never happened."
"We can't just pretend like the kiss never happened, because it did. That wasn't just any random kiss either. I think we both know that."
I spun around on my heels. "Listen to me Toby, we are not going to say anything to anybody, do you understand? No one can know about it."
"So what do we do know," he asked. "Do we just go around acting like it never happened and go on being enemies?"
"That's exactly what we're going to do and we are enemies there are no questions about that. Don't tell anyone about the kiss, because it never happened."
Toby nodded and said "fine you're right the kiss never happened."
"Thank you," I said and then walked out.
I rushed down the hall and saw my friends waiting for me by the lockers. I was not in the mood to talk to them right now. By the looks on their faces I could tell that they wanted to talk about me. They knew me well enough that something was bothering me. If I talk about it then they'll know. This time the thing that is bothering me, has nothing to do with my family. It has something to do with the certain blue eyed man that I was lip locking with the other night.
"Hey Spencer," Emily said.
I faked a smile and said "hey guys."
"Is everything okay?" Aria asked.
There they go acting like the perfect concerned people they always are. They are so good to me and the way that I repay them is by keeping secrets. Sometimes I wished that I wasn't so good at keeping secrets.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"My 18th birthday party is on Saturday," Hanna said. "You're coming right?"
I smiled "of course Han, you know I would never miss your birthday."
"Great," she clapped her hands together. 'Because it's going to be really hot. The party's going to be a make out party and I invited Toby just for you."
I felt my face go pale as a ghost. Did Hanna know about the kiss? How could she possible know? Hanna noticed the look on my face and laughed. "Relax Spencer, I'm just kidding, but Toby and the other guys will be there."
"Oh yeah I knew that. Um I'm going to class I'll talk to you guys later." I stuttered then rushed down the hallway.
"What's her problem?" Emily asked.
"I don't know, but she'll be better by Saturday. I'm planning on playing spin the bottle in hopes to getting Spencer and Toby to kiss," Hanna smirked.
"Hanna, Spencer is going to murder you," Aria said.
Hanna giggled "who cares? I wanna see them kiss."
"Don't do that Hanna," Emily said.
"You guys are no fun. I'll just talk to Caleb about it. He's more fun."
Toby's POV
I was in weights class along with my friends. I'm not in the mood to lift weights today, so I ran laps on the track instead. My heart was racing, but not from running. My heart was racing, because we certain brunette keeps popping into my head. I can't seem to focus. All I've been able to think about for the past twenty four hours is that kiss. That was my first kiss and I did it with someone I hate or I thought I hated her. Now I'm not sure how or what I feel.
"Sup Toby," Caleb came up and slapped me on my shoulder and sat next to me on the bench. Ezra came over to sit with us. I've never given much thought to this, but I feel like I'm slowly turning into Caleb and Ezra. They both have crushes on Spencer's friends Aria and Hanna. The last thing I want to do is end up liking Spencer. That would just be weird. For so long I've told them that and myself that I hated Spencer. Now I don't know what I feel.
"Hey," I said.
"How did the study session with Spencer go yesterday?" Caleb asked.
I rolled my eyes "she was annoying like always."
"How was she annoying?" Ezra asked.
"She kept bragging about how smart she thinks she is. It's like whatever she wants to believe in that pretty little head of hers!" I grumbled and shook my head. "God I hate her so much!"
Caleb smirked and said "you like her."
"No I don't, I can't stand her!"
"You just called Spencer pretty."
"No I didn't" I protested.
"Yes you did," Caleb laughed. "How many time's did you two hate kiss?"
"Shut up Caleb!" I exclaimed.
Everyone around us stopped what they were doing and looked up. I sighed and got up from the bench. Caleb and Ezra exchanged glances as they watched me, head back to the track.
