Permission to speak

Toby's POV

When I was standing in line at the baggage area, Spencer was standing in front of me. I still feel like we should talk about what we did, but she doesn't want to. She knows that this is something we should talk about, but she's stubborn. How are we supposed to understand what and why it happened if we don't talk? It's really frustrating how she thinks she can figure it out on her own. We both had sex. She understands that it takes two people to have sex.

Spencer picked up her bag and almost dropped it. I caught her bag with my hand before it hit her foot. She took it without saying a word. I picked up my own bag and walked behind her.

"Aren't you going to say thank you?" I asked.

"Thank you," she said while avoiding eye contact.

"You're still not talking to me."

"I'm not ready to talk."

"Well we need to."

"Maybe we don't have to talk."

We stopped talking when a few of our classmates walked by. The two girls stood together to take a selfie to send to their boyfriends back at home. Spencer rolled her eyes at the girl and tried not to notice their existence. After the girls took their selfies they kept on walking.

"Do I have permission to speak?" I asked.

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because it's really annoying."

One of the teachers's clapped their hands to get our attention. "Alright students gather around I'm going to tell you who your roommates will be if you don't know already. Cindy and Mindy you two are roommates. Caleb and Ezra you two are roommates. Aria and Emily you two are roommates. Toby and Noel you two are roommates. Spencer and Hanna you two are roommates."

I rolled my eyes when they told me I would be rooming with Noel Khan. That's almost as bad as rooming with Spencer. Accept Spencer smells prettier, looks pretty, and is pretty. After the teacher told everyone their roommate, we were gestured to get on the busses to our hotel. The bus ride took about fifteen minutes.

The hotel we arrive at is very nice. The lobby is fancy the rooms are joint rooms. Caleb and Ezra's room is connected to my hotel room, so I can go over there anytime. Of course there's a wall and a door between the two rooms, so we can't just literally walk over there at any time. The rooms are pretty nice. There are two beds, a mini fridge, a good size bathroom, a living room, and a nice view looking out the window. This trip is going to be awesome.

"Hey roomy," Noel said, while throwing his suitcase on one of the beds. "What do you say we order a pizza and call in some hot girls?"

"We can't have any parties remember Noel? It's a class trip," I said.

"They never said anything about not throwing parties."

"We're not supposed to have girls in here. We could get in trouble."

He smirked and said. "That's if we get caught."

"I don't think we should have a party tonight. Anyway we have a class meeting in ten minutes."

Noel scuffled, "You're a baby Toby, and everyone thinks you're the cool one."

"I just think it would be better to have the party Saturday."

"Why on Saturday?"

"All the teachers are going to be out of the hotel that night. I think Mrs. Montgomery got them all to go see the president speak."

Noel smirked and patted me on the shoulder. "That's smart Toby really smart. Good thinking."

Spencer's POV

"I did not fall asleep on Toby's shoulder," I said, while getting a soda out of the mini fridge.

I sat down on the edge of my bed and sighed. Hanna was sitting on her bed painting her toe nails. I was so embarrassed that everyone caught me laying my head on Toby's shoulder. That didn't give anything away though right? I mean lying your head on someone's shoulder while you're sleeping is something you do on instinct, so it shouldn't be that big of a deal. Even if it's not, I'm trying to make it seem like I wasn't sleeping on Toby's shoulder.

"Yes you were Spencer," Hanna said. "You guys were all cuddled up together. Your head was on his shoulder and Toby was leaning his head against yours."

"No you must have seen it wrong. Toby was looking over my head and my head wasn't on his shoulder."

"Spencer I know what sleeping on someone's shoulder looks like and you were lying on Toby's shoulder. You guys actually looked really cute. You almost looked like a real couple."

"If I was sleeping on his shoulder, why didn't you wake me up?" I whipped my shoulder and said. "Now I have Toby germs."

"Cause you guys looked so cute and I swore I saw Toby kiss your forehead."

"He did not kiss my forehead or any part of my body."

Hanna smirked and said. "He kissed you on the lips before."

I pointed at her as warning and said. "Never speak of it."

Hanna laughed and went back to painting her toe nails. When I opened up my book, there was a knock on the door. Since Hanna had no intention of answering the door, I did. The door was barely half way open when Aria and Emily barged into the room. They both went straight to our mini fridge.

"Do you guys have any lemonade?" Aria asked.

"Or Oreos," Emily added.

"Hello to you guys too," I replied sarcastically.

Hanna jumped off the bed. "Did you guys seriously come over here to eat our food?"

Aria wrapped an arm around each of us and said. "Of course not we came here to see our favorite girls."

I sighed and pointed at the blue bag on the floor. "The Oreos are in there."

"Yay!" Aria squealed then ran to dig them out.

Aria and Emily sat on my bed and I sat next to Hanna on her bed. I could tell by the look on Hanna's face that she was not done talking about what we were discussing.

Emily gestures between the two of us. "We're we interrupting something?"

"No you were not," I said.

"Spencer's in denial," Hanna said.

"What is she in denial about?" Emily asked.

"She's in denial about Toby kissing her forehead while she was sleeping."

"Wow," Emily said. "I'm surprised you didn't notice."

"I'm surprised Hanna used denial correctly in a sentence," Aria said.

"I swear I saw Toby kiss Spencer's forehead!" Hanna exclaimed.

"You were seeing things Hanna," I insisted.

"No I saw it. You were snuggled up against his shoulder and Toby was asleep too. His head was resting against yours. Toby woke up for a second, kissed your forehead, then went back to sleep. I swear I saw him."

Aria smiled "did he brush her hair back too?"

"No her hair was already pushed back, but I swear he kissed you," Hanna said.

"How do you know that it wasn't you who was sleeping and that Caleb kissed your forehead? You could've gotten the images mixed up," I said.

Hanna sighed and slammed her hands on the bed. Aria and Emily are too busy eating all of my Oreo's to care what we were talking about. While we were handing out in the room, there was a knock on the door. The teachers were telling us to be down at our class meeting in five minutes. We got off the bed and scrambled around to get ready.

We arrived to the meeting and of course Hanna wanted to sit with the guys. Hanna watched as I took the empty seat next to Toby and smirked.

"He's probably resisting the urge to kiss you again," Hanna teased.

I kicked her in the foot and she jumped. Once the teachers started talking, everyone else got quite. The teacher's gave us a list of thing that we're doing. Tomorrow we're taking a tour of down town and visiting the museum. On Saturday we're taking a tour of the White House then we have a free day for the rest of the day.

Mrs. Montgomery told us who would be in our groups. "You're all divided into groups of eight and I will announce who those groups are. Group one is: Mona, Andrew, Shawna, Mindy, Sidney, Ryley, Sean and Noel. Group two: Emily, Maya, Toby, Ezra, Aria, Spencer, Caleb, and Hanna."

After all of the groups were announced, we were told to return to our rooms. We were allowed to come down for dinner at any time between 5pm-9pm. The girls and I decided to skip and hang out in the hotel all night. That was until the teachers told Emily and Aria to get back to their room.

When the lights went down that was when I thought about stuff. I thought about school, my life, my friends, and my family. I thought about things that have happened to me in the past. Another thing I thought about was Toby. Of course he always has to pop in my head now. If it wasn't for our many slip ups my mind wouldn't be thinking about Toby all the time. It's starting to get really annoying. Who cares if we had sex? Can't mind just let it go? Can I let it go?

Thanks for reading please review!

Next chapter will be about what they do in D.C. What happens when Spencer and Toby are alone together at a party? Will they ignore each other, talk things out, or will they have another slip up?
