She fell silent when he asked if her ex went to her games, pursing her lips together. “A few of them– he just didn’t like sports which I understood. I didn’t want him to sit around bored, not knowing what was going on.” Devyn tried to defend him even though it really did disappoint her that he didn’t go to all of them, even if it was just to watch her. She would have loved to have that kind of support, instead of supporting her from his room. “People mostly just end up going to college parties but,” she chuckled, shrugging her shoulders, “the semester’s over so there aren’t very many parties. I’m sure someone around here will end up throwing one soon, though. But when it does happen, I’ll let you know. I’ll go with you to it.” She nodded her head. Devyn was surprised that these sort of things sounded fun to him, she never got that impression from him before.

“What was he into exactly?” he asked. It took him a minute to realize that he probably didn’t like talking about her ex and he was bombarding her with questions about him. “Oh uh, i’m sorry i didn’t mean to go on about your ex. I’m sure you don’t really like talking about him. We can change the subject.” He said quickly. “We just met and i’m already talking to you like we’ve known each other for a while. So sorry.” he added. “Huh, i would think that since the semester is over, people would throw more parties. Or at least that’s what happens in movies only i guess.” He shrugged. “But thank you.”

When he brought up how quick she was, she looked over to him and smiled before laughing and slowing her pace down to fall in line with his again. “Sorry,” she muttered, looking down to the ground. “I like it here, I came cause my best friend was going to school here so I’ve always been pretty bias but it is a really nice school. The football team is really good, we only lost one game last season. I’m a cheerleader and I play softball and volleyball so sports are kind of… a big interest of mine, Sp– my-my ex didn’t like sports.” She felt herself starting to ramble, knowing her sentences were all at random and probably didn’t make a whole lot of sense the way they were spoken. “There’s a lake in the woods nearby, there’s parties there all the time. And the pool is really nice… I’m not really the best person to ask about fun stuff. I’m kind of really boring.” She laughed.

Spencer smiled, proud that he got her to laugh. “It’s okay.” He responded. He listened carefully, intrigued by her and the things she’s done or was a part of. “Oh that sucks. Was he at least at your games to be supportive?” He asked. “Hmm i’ve never really been to a party, next time there’s one, would you accompany me to it, if you’re alright with that idea that is.” He quickly stated, not wantign to seem like he was forcing himself on her to hang out. “I don’t know, you’re doing a great job of telling em the fun stuff already.”

“You don’t remember?” She asked, realizing there was a reason they were talking. “Are you joking? Just on a serious note, what happened?“

Spencer shook his head slowly, “Sorry i don’t know you. I’m not joking or I don’t know what you mean by what happened.”

She almost forced a smile as she nodded, hugging her notebook and papers close to her chest as she continued walking with him. “Yeah, maybe.” Devyn didn’t want to deny him the chance of being friends, even if it was going to be really hard for her to handle. She already thought she lost him and, as it seems, she still doesn’t really have him back. Having all of these memories, having to go through getting to know Spencer again, it was going to be difficult. “I don’t think I’ll be bothered any,” she replied confidently, she never got annoyed with him before so she only assumed she still wouldn’t. “I’m assuming you came in through the courtyard. I mean, assuming you’ve been to the main office… the cafeteria is a hallway away from there, overlooking the other side of the courtyard. So… not too far from here.” Her pace quickened only slightly to give him the impression that she was leading the way. “I can do that,” she replied instantly, even though she wasn’t sure what her schedule was going to be like.

Spencer quickly tried to hurry and catch up with her as he noticed that she quickened her pace. “Uh yeah i think so.” Not exactly remembering where he was coming from or how he got to this point at the school. “You know for someone so small, you sure are quick.” He said. “He glanced around to remember where he was so the next time he was roaming around, he would know how to get back. “So uh what’s the school like? What’s fun to do around here?” he asked. He thought about joining a few clubs or a sports team.

Ana was just walking around, smiling as usual, when she saw a boy who seemed lost. She knew his face was familiar, but she didn’t know why. The girl decided to approach him “Hello. Are you new here?”

Spencer sighed, already forgetting where the boy’s dorms were. It wasn’t until he heard a voice and turns to the girl. “Hi, yeah i’m new and lost.” he chuckled.

“Spencer.” She said walking towards him smiling sweetly, “Good to see you- roumor had it you were gone for good.” She said stopping in front of him, “What brings you back?”

Spencer stopped and looked at the blonde, “U-Um do I know you?” He asked slowly.

She shrugged her shoulders, “I don’t really have a lot of friends here so… I guess I just like to keep busy so I don’t end up getting bored or,” she laughed, “lonely.” Devyn had a few friends but none of them were as close of relationships as the friends she had back in Los Angeles. “I can be free whenever, I just like keeping busy… so you won’t really be a bother or anything. It’d be nice getting out of my room or to stop with the planning and work and everything else I have to do for a while.” She didn’t want him thinking he’d be an intrusion in her life or burdening her, she really wouldn’t mind the company at all. Devyn bit at her lip when he asked her for directions to where he could eat and mumbled, “um, yeah.” She nodded her head, turning around to grab her notebook and loose papers. “Most of the time, I just get stuff delivered. I’m not a huge fan of cafeteria food, the vending machines have some good snacks but you can’t really eat snacks all the time. I think there’s sushi in the cafeteria today, though. There’s other things, too, if you don’t like sushi. They always have pizza and burgers.” She explained as she began walking.

Spencer listened carefully before nodding, “Well if it’s okay with you, we can be friends, maybe become close when we get to know each other better.” He suggested with a slight shrug. “Alright but if i get too much or bother you, please let me know. I rather have someone tell me straight instead of beating around the bush, i believe the phrase is.” he said with a smile. Spencer thought about it for a minute to figure out what he would like, “Pizza sounds good and easy to me to get to eat. Where to?” He asked, slipping his hands into his pockets. “Maybe also, tomorrow you can give me a tour?”

A shallow laugh left her lips as she nodded, then mumbled, “I was in love with him.” But she quickly cleared her throat, closing her eyes, and shook her head now. “I mean, we dated for a while but things ended kind of badly. He didn’t trust me because of who I was friends with– not that you care or anything. That’s the past, he’s gone.” She brought her hand up to cover over her eyes for a moment. Devyn smiled softly, looking down to the ground after he’d called her pretty. It wasn’t so much that he was complimenting her that made her smile but more so the innocence he had trying to cover his tracks, the same kind of innocence Spencer had before the two of them started dating. “Thank you,” she spoke softly, lifting her gaze to meet his again. “I’m normally pretty busy, I’m the student council president and I lead the dance committee,” among other things, “so I don’t really have a ton of free time but almost everything is set up for prom so– um, whenever you wanna do that tour or whatever. I’ll be free probably until prom.”

“Oh.” Was all he said. He didn’t know much about her or her relationship so he really couldn’t say anything to help her. He didn’t know much about relationships himself. A small smile appeared at his lips, “You’re welcome.” His eyes widen a bit with his brows raised, “Wow, you are a busy person. I’ll try not to bother you too much then. I don’t want to seem like a bother or a burden on you. I guess i’ll call you when i really need you for something or to hang out every once in a while.But if you are free now, can you show me where to get something to eat? I’m starving.” He chuckled.

She shook her head, forcing a small smile. “It’s not your fault… I should have known better, he’s gone now.” She continued to speak quietly. At his suggestion of the two of them being friends, Devyn wasn’t sure how to respond. She was still in shock, unsure of what was really happening. Maybe she just missed Spencer so much, her feelings were changing her perception of people enough to fool her into believing this boy was him. “We can be friends.” Her uncertainty showed in her voice. The brunette turned around to grab her pen from across the table, taking a hold of his hand again once she had turned back around but only to jot down her number into his palm. “Call me sometime… I can give you a tour or something.”

“I’m sorry you lost him, i’m sure you meant a lot to him.” He said with a slight shrug. His smile brightened when she agreed to be friends, “I’m glad. Can’t wait to tell my parents that I’m fine and made my first friends. And that she’s pretty too.” He chuckled before slapping a hand over his mouth. “Uh sorry, I-I don’t know why i s-said that out loud. That was suppose to be in my head. But you are pretty.” He said quietly this time. He looked down at his hand at the number and nods, “That’d be awesome, thanks Devyn.”

“I-it’s okay.” Her eyes fell down to his extended hand, unsure of whether or not she actually wanted to take it. As much as she wanted to believe he was just playing games with her, that he was only acting this way in an attempt to hurt her, she couldn’t help believing that the Spencer that she knew was no longer there. “It’s Devyn,” she spoke quietly, eventually lifting her hand to take his weakly.

Spencer took her hand gently and shook it with a bright smile, “It’s nice to meet you Devyn. Sorry again about the confusion just now. Wasn’t my intention. I hope to see you around more. Maybe even become friends.” He said before realizing how it sounded. “IF that’s okay with you. I-I didn’t mean to just throw that onto you, being a stranger to you and all. I just thought it’d be nice to have a first friend here. Don’t really know my way around and i’m kind of nervous.”

She stared at him for a moment longer before glancing away. Devyn wasn’t sure what was going on, maybe whatever did happen to him made him lose all of his memories. She was wiped from his memory completely. Her breath became shortened, feeling herself starting to panic as well but she tried to hide that the best she could. “You’re not him,” she mumbled before her attention turned forward again, though she wasn’t looking at him anymore. She tucked her hair behind her ear. “No, it’s–it’s okay. I’m sorry. You just-you just look like somebody I used to know… you’re not him.”

Spencer furrowed his brows before nodding again, “Sorry i’m not the person you believed I was. I didn’t mean to confuse you or anything. Definitely not a good impression with the first person i meet at a new school.” He chuckled quietly. “But it is nice to meet you...” He said taking a step forward, “Since you somehow knew my name, what’s yours if you don’t mind me asking?” He asked. holding out a hand.

There was a moment of hesitation as her eyes shifted between his, trying to sort through her thoughts and emotions. “Come on, Spencer. This isn’t funny.” She managed to say, slowly bringing her arms up to cross over her chest. “Don’t play games with me… I don’t care how–how mad I made you, how I hurt you… I don’t like this. It’s not funny.”

Spencer started to panic a little, taking a step back from her, “I-I’m not playing games, i really don’t know who you are.” He said. “I really don’t. I’m sorry..”

For a moment, she couldn’t tell if he was being serious or not. Maybe this was his way of wanting to start over, acting as if they didn’t know each other. Or at least that was the option that she was hoping for. But then a second thought popped into her head. Maybe he was pretending not to know her because he didn’t want to know her at all. “Are you being serious?” She asked, stepping away from the table to take a few steps closer to him, still managing to keep a comfortable distance between the both of them.

Spencer stared at her for a few second before nodding slowly, “A-About being new to this school, y-yes I was. I’m sorry but I’m getting really confused here. Do we know each other? Because i have never seen you before and I would remember if I had met someone like you.” he said with a sheepish smile.

A smile beamed, but only momentarily, after he’d confirmed it was him. It was hard stopping herself from racing over to him to embrace him. The only thing that made it easier was remembering how their last interaction had gone. She wasn’t aware of there being anything wrong with him, she had no reason to believe that his memories weren’t there. So as far as she knew, he still hated her even though it’d been nearly two months since they saw each other last. She slowly shook her head, a softer smile now forming as she looked away from him. “Nothing, I-I’m sorry.” She didn’t know how this was possible, the Dean must have been misinformed or maybe she just misunderstood what he was telling her. All that really mattered was that he was alive and okay.

Spencer raised a brow at her, still wondering how she knew who he was. He cleared his throat, glancing around for a bit then looking at her, “I um i’m sorry but have we met?” he asked in all seriousness. “I-I think you might have me mistaken for someone else. I’m new to this school so I don’t really know anyone.” he said with a shy grin. She was really pretty and he did not do well around girls that were attractive but his mom had always told him to relax, count to ten and be hisself.

Prom preparations were nearly finished, she was just working out the final details when she decided to take a break, not much longer and everything would be all set. She looked up from her notebook containing all of the planning she’d made before slowly standing up. But before she could make another move, she saw somebody she never thought she’d be seeing again. Spencer Hale. No, it couldn’t have been him. Devyn was told he had died, there was no way he could have been back. Well, not unless he was a zombie. She blinked her eyes a few times, as if she was trying to fix her vision, thinking she was seeing things. But nope, the sight before her hadn’t changed at all. “Spencer…” she mumbled, her lips barely moving.

When walking around, Spencer had this weird feeling being in this school. Like he had been here before. He felt his phone vibrate and checked to see a message from his mom. He chuckled when he saw it was a message asking if he was okay; it had only been five minutes since they parted at the entrance. But he then heard a voice, his name and looked up from his phone. He looked over at the girl and raised a brow, “Uh yes?” He answered. He didn’t know who she was or how she knew his name.

Spencer waved goodbye to his new parents after spending the last few hours bringing in his belonging into his room. He stuffed his hands into his pockets of his sweater and started around the school. He was nervous, not knowing anyone. He couldn’t exactly remember anything about his life before the coma so it felt like he was starting over, the only thing he knew well enough was his name.

Devyn jumped when he punched the wall, not expecting that at all. With the amount of force he used, she was sure he’d done some sort of damage but the fact that he wasn’t reacting to anything confused her. She wanted to tell him that their relationship had been done for a while, she never felt like he was actually giving her a chance and that maybe he was just waiting for something to happen so he’d have a reason to really break up with her. But something in her couldn’t let the words leave her throat. She just stared for a moment as he begun walking away before she found herself quickly walking over to him. “Wait…” Devyn grabbed his arm in an attempt to stop him, stepping in front of him to make sure he actually stopped. “I’m sorry,” she spoke out, looking up to him. “You can be done with me, if that’s what you really want… I’m not going to stop you from doing what you think is best for you but…” she stopped herself, shaking her head and looking away from him to try to get herself not to start crying again. “I don’t want to stop being friends with him because he– when I need somebody to talk to, he’s there for me no matter what. He doesn’t make me feel like I’m burdening him when I talk about my problems, he wants to help me work through them. He’s given me advice when I’ve needed it, he’s supportive of what I want, he’s supportive of my relationship with you, he just wants me to be happy. He’s a really good friend… that I just want to be friends with. He knows that I love you and he’s okay with that, because he has Eliza. And I am completely okay with that because I have– had you. And… I’m still okay with it because I just want him to be happy, that’s what friends want for each other. And that’s all that him and I are… friends.” She wasn’t exactly sure where she was going with this or how to really end her statement, so she went quiet for a few seconds. Devyn looked down for a brief moment before stepping out of the way and motioning her arm towards the direction he was initially heading. “That’s it.” She hoped he would have stayed but she knew better than to expect him to.

Spencer stopped when she stepped in front of him. He looked down at her but said nothing when she spoke. He physically couldn’t do this anymore. Physically, emotionally and mentally. It was all too exhausting for him. When she was done, he just shook his head. “I don’t care...I’m done. I can’t do this anymore. We had a good relationship before but it’s done. It was done when you kissed him. Goodbye Devyn.” he said before walking past her and headed back to his dorm. He felt his tears rush down his face but kept his expression dead.
