Flight Too D.C
Spencer's POV
On Wednesday night the girls and I decided to spend the night together, so we could help each other pack and get to the airport on time. We were originally going to stay at my house, but Melissa and Ian are home, so we ended up at Hanna's. Aria, Emily, and I already had our stuff packed and ready to go, but Hanna still had more to pack. I don't understand why she needs to pack more, we're only going to be gone for four days and she's packing like she's going on a world tour.
Hanna was the least excited out of all of us about going on this trip. She was excited, but that changed when she found out that she Caleb wouldn't be able to hang out as much. They won't be able to hang out in each other's motel room and she was upset about that. Other than that Hanna was excited to go. Emily was worried about her mom not letting her go, but eventually she gave in. I had no trouble asking my parents if I could go since they say I need to leave the house more.
Aria brought up a bowl of popcorn and coffee for us to have. Hanna was still over by her bed trying to fit everything into her suitcase. The poor blonde tried sitting on it, jumping on it, which ended up with her almost hurting herself. She even tried to tie it closed. Hanna tried everything to get her suitcase closed. Nothing seemed to be working.
"Ugh," Hanna groaned. "My stupid suitcase won't close!"
I swallowed the popcorn that was in my mouth and said. "Hanna you won't be able to fit your whole closet in there."
"It's not my whole closet Spencer, it's my whole dresser."
Emily picked up Hanna's check list and laughed. "Hanna, why do you need twenty pairs of sunglasses?"
"Um hello a pair for each day."
"We're going for four days Han, not a year," Aria said.
"Tease me all you want, but I'll be getting the last laugh when we get stranded somewhere and I'm the only one who was prepared."
"I seriously doubt we'll end up stranded somewhere," Aria said.
"You don't know that. I mean that dude from Gilbert's island didn't think he would end up lost, but they we're stranded on that island for years," Hanna said.
"That was a T.V show Hanna," Emily said.
"Yeah and its Gilligan's Island," I corrected.
"Whatever!" she exclaimed. "My point is that you never know."
I rolled my eyes and went back to checking off my list. Everything I need is right here. My mind wondered on how I would handle going on this trip with Toby around. I also have to remember that I might not see him much on the trip. The school has a very strict rule about interaction with the opposite sex. I should've made that a rule for myself before I slept with Toby. Even if it was the best sex I will ever have.
Toby's POV
Five pairs of jeans check, sunglasses check, five shirts check, boxers check, sunscreen check, books check, iPhone check, towels check, shampoo and soap check. I went through my list of things I need to pack and I seem to have everything. Tomorrow the whole senior class will be going to Washington D.C and I'm excited. Maybe this trip will help me get Spencer out of my mind. I know that Spencer will also be on the trip, but maybe I won't be around her much or maybe not at all if I'm lucky.
Maybe while I'm on this trip I will meet another girl. Instead of thinking about Spencer 24/7, I'll be thinking about the other girl I meet. I've never really believe in the whole "falling in love." It's not my thing. Maybe that is why I crave to have Spencer around. She believes in the same thing that I do. One thing she and I always had in common is our ideas on the whole relationships and being in love. I remember her telling me about what she thought about love.
Flashback
It was a cold September night Spencer and Toby, were hanging out at the Grill waiting for Toby's friend Caleb to show up. While they were waiting they noticed a bunch of couples in the place. There was one couple gazing at each other like love sick puppies. Another couple was shaking a plate of fries and feeding them to each other. Some people found that adorable, but Spencer and Toby found it disgusting. The couple that was sharing fries started kissing. Both Spencer and Toby made a face of discuss.
"Couples like that discuss me," Spencer said.
"You mean you don't like the whole two straws in a milkshake kind of love?" Toby teased.
"It's not that I don't like it it's just I don't believe in that kind of thing. The whole thing about being in a relationship with someone and everyone waiting their whole life to meet the one they'll spend the rest of their life with."
Toby leaned back in his chair. "Really you don't believe in any of that?"
She shook her head. "No."
"That's strange I would think a girl like you would be into that."
Spencer scuffled and said "well sorry to disappoint you, but I'm not like most girls."
"You're right though being in a relationship would be stupid, which is why I will never commit to anyone."
She clinked her cup against Toby's cup and said "I'll agree to that."
Toby took a fry from their basket and held it up for Spencer. As a joke she took the fry out of his hand with her mouth. The two laughed and continued waiting for their other friend to show up.
End of flashback
I smiled at the memory. Even though I hate to admit it, Spencer and I did have the best times. I remember that short time when we were friends I could go to her about anything. We thought about the same things and most of the time we liked the same things. I don't know what happened between us honestly. We just started hating each other. It all started after that incident in science class. I got her in trouble and she gave me the cold shoulder for the rest of the week. Pretty soon that week turned into a more weeks and eventually we just stopped talking all together and the only time we did talk was when we were screaming I hate you to each other.
Part of me wonders that if I never got her in trouble we would still be friends. Maybe we would've been closer than we were before. Maybe she would've been my best friend. There are some many what ifs and maybe's going through my head right now. What if we didn't meet when we met? Did she really hate me the first time she said I hate you? Instead of saying I hate her back, what if she was trying to tell me something? I shook the thoughts out of my head and got back to packing.
The next morning I woke up at 5am, so I had time to go for a jog. After my jog I showered and ate breakfast. By the time I finished it was 7 o'clock. I have to be at the airport by 8.
When I arrived at the airport, most of my classmates were here. Caleb and Ezra were reading motorcycle magazines. Aria and Emily were double checking their packing list. Hanna was arguing with the security guard about not being able to take her favorite shampoo and a bottle of lotion with her on the plane.
"I'm sorry ma'am," the guard said. "But you have to leave that here."
"No the only thing you should be sorry about is how much I paid for these products. Am I going to get a refund for losing all of this crap?"
"Ma'am, please keep the lines moving."
"Me keep the line moving?" Hanna replied. "You keep the line moving asshole."
I shook my head and laughed at the argument Hanna was getting herself into. As I looked around the place I didn't see Spencer anywhere. I wondered where she was, because I know she's here. Knowing Spencer she probably spent the night at the airport so she wouldn't be late. I walked over to stand by Caleb and Ezra.
"Hey Toby," Ezra said.
"Hi," I said while still searching the airport for Spencer. I was trying to make it look like I was staring at the flight times.
Caleb chuckled and said "your girlfriend went to look for coffee."
"What?" I asked in surprise.
"You were looking for Spencer."
"No I wasn't."
"Yeah whatever you say. Anyway she went to get coffee."
"Oh yeah she went to get coffee," Ezra said. "And she found something else."
I lifted my head up and saw Spencer smiling and talking to some guy. The guy looked to be about our age and was the perfect height for Spencer. Every time the guy opened his mouth, Spencer would laugh. In that moment something came over me. I wasn't sure what I was feeling in that moment, but I felt strange. Was it discuss I felt for seeing a guy and a girl flirt with each other or was it a ping of jealousy? Why would I be jealous? I don't even like. I don't like her right?
Spencer ended her conversation with the boy then continued her walk to her friends. I relaxed a little when she broke the conversation with that boy. Maybe she walked away because she realized that the guy was fliting with her and since she doesn't care for that she stopped talking to him. The sound of a teacher clapping got my attention.
"Alright everyone pay attention. We are boarding the plane in twenty minutes, so I will be announcing who will be sitting with whom on the plane. There are three seats in each row, but not all of you will be sitting in a group of three with your friends."
Everyone quieted down while the teacher read off our names. I'll probably be sitting next to Caleb or Ezra or maybe both. Emily, Hanna, and Caleb were already called to sit together. I guess that crossed Caleb off my list. Next they called out Aria, Ezra, and Noel Khan. That will be interesting for Ezra to deal with, because Noel is Aria's ex-boyfriend.
If I'm not sitting with Caleb or Ezra, then who am I sitting next to? My question was answered when I heard the teacher say. "Spencer Hasting and Toby Cavanaugh will be sitting together."
I rolled my eyes of course there're pairing me up with Spencer. Out of all the people in the senior class, why do they always pair me up with Spencer? Do they not understand that we don't get a long? Plus I'm trying to keep my distance from her. Our other friends laughed at the looks on our faces. Like always they teased us about it and told us not to make out in the planes bathroom.
We were instructed to find out plane buddies and bored the plane together. I walked over to Spencer and she had a bag strapped over her should and a book in her hand. She rolled her eyes and led the way towards the bordering station. We handed them our plane tickets then took our seats on the plane. Spencer really wanted the window seat and so did it. For some strange reasons she let me have it without even putting up a fight. Maybe this flight won't be as bad as I thought, but every flight has problems.
"Can you stop kicking my feet," Spencer said.
"I'm not kicking your feet you're kicking your own feet."
"Do you know how stupid that sounds?" I am not kicking my own feet."
I rolled my eyes and said "whatever."
She nudged my shoulder. "Don't you whatever me."
I leaned my head back and groaned. "You are so annoying."
'Yeah well, so are you."
Hanna leaned across the aisle and whispered. "Hey mom dad stop the arguing."
Spencer crossed her arms and mumbled. "He started it."
"I did not you started it!'
"Shut up!"
"Hastings Cavanaugh, zip it!" A teacher scolded
We sank down in our seats with our arms crossed. Throughout the flight I kept stealing glances of her. The way her eyes grow when she got angry and how they burned with hatred towards her enemies. The way her cheeks glow a dark shade of red and her hands shake from anger. Even when she's mad she's hot. Wait did I just think that.
Aria's POV
At some point during the flight I fell asleep and woke up with my head lying on Ezra's shoulder. I smiled to myself then lifted my head up to look around. Almost everyone was asleep right now, accept for Emily. She was listening to her music while reading a magazine.
When I looked over at Spencer I was surprised at what I saw. Spencer's head was lying on Toby's shoulder and Toby's head was leaning against hers. They were asleep and most likely had no idea what they were doing. I shook Ezra's shoulder to wake him up and pointed at Spencer and Toby. Ezra smiled then woke up Caleb and Hanna. The Hanna tapped Emily's shoulder to get her to look.
"Could they be anymore married without actually being married?" Hanna said.
"They are so cute," Emily said. "If only they could see how perfect they are for each other."
"Ezra hand me my camera I'm going to take a picture," I said.
He took my camera out of my bag and gave it to me. I turned the camera on then aimed it at Spencer and Toby. Then I snapped a picture and the camera made a bright flash. We were worried the flash would wake them up, but it didn't. Spencer snuggled up more against Toby and he adjusted his head against hers.
"Aw babies," Hanna said.
"You know there're going to find out about that picture," Caleb said.
I shrugged and said. "I don't care."
Spencer's POV
Fifteen minutes after I fell asleep I felt a small bump and the flight attendant making an announcement. They told us that we have now landed in D.C and to make sure we don't forget all of our belongings. When I opened my eyes I realized I was lying on something rough, but soft. I looked up and saw that my head was leaning against Toby's shoulder. My eyes widened and I sat up quickly. I fell asleep on Toby's shoulder. I punched his shoulder to wake him up.
"Ouch!" He said while rubbing his shoulder. "What was that for?"
"The plane landed already, but we just got on the plane."
"It's only a thirty six minute flight."
We rose up from our seats and grabbed our carry-on bags. I had trouble reaching mine, so Toby grabbed it for me. I took my bag from him then led the way out of his plane
I hope you all enjoyed the chapter. What do you think will happen between Spencer and Toby while they are in New York? Thanks for reading please review.
