Teddy slung her backpack over her shoulder as she stepped into her high school; this particular day miserable for her considering it would have been her and Spencer's four-month anniversary.
"Hey, girlie." Ivy said, striding up beside her.
"Hey, Ivy." She mumbled.
"What's got you down, T?"
Teddy shrugged her shoulders; she didn't tell Ivy because the last thing she needed was a lecture on hanging on to someone who broke her heart.
She opened her locker to grab books for her first class and Ivy gasped.
"That's right!" She exclaimed. "It's supposed to be your anniversary. Oh, T, I'm sorry."
"It's fine." Teddy lied with a small smile. "It's not like he'd remember anyway. That, or he'd get it mixed up his and Skyler's anniversary."
She slammed her locker shut and held her books tight as she walked past Spencer's locker, not even daring to try and steal a glance at him.
Spencer sighed as he watched Teddy walk into the school doors; he was absolutely grief-stricken. He felt like he didn't have the right to be upset about his break up with Teddy. After all, he was the one who cheated, but he still felt like his heart was being ripped out of his chest every time he looked at her.
He tried to act like he was happy, but one look at his face and anyone could see he was broken inside.
He looked away from his ex-girlfriend after Ivy gave him a small glare from across the hall, but his breath hitched when she walked by his locker. He wanted so desperately to say something to her, but he knew it was a bad idea; it was their four- month anniversary and she just as vulnerable as he was…wasn't she?
He closed his locker and made his way to his first class…that he shared with Teddy.
Teddy took her seat in Biology. She was looking at the doorway, but quickly averted her eyes as soon as she saw Spencer walk in. She tried to make it seem as if she were writing something important down in her notebook.
"Hey, Spence." Raymond, his best friend and Ivy's boyfriend, greeted him.
"Hey, Ray." Spencer sat next to him and looked over at Teddy.
"What's up, dude? You look way more miserable than usual." Raymond joked then looked in the same direction as Spencer. "Oh, I see."
Spencer nodded his head. "It would have been four months today."
Raymond patted his back. "I know, man. But hey, you're still performing in the battle of the bands next week, right?"
"Oh, yeah." Spencer perked up a little bit and turned to him. "It's gonna rock."
Teddy overheard the part about The Battle of The Bands and slumped into her seat.
"That's right." She thought to herself. "Spencer had been looking forward to playing in it for weeks. I was supposed to go watch him."
The thought made her shoulders slump even more and she put her head in her hands as she heard the familiar voice of the brunette who was betrayed by Spencer as well.
"Hi, Teddy!" Skyler smiled.
"Hey, Sky." She sighed. "Why are YOU so happy?"
"I don't know." Skyler shrugged. "I'm just a happy person. Why are YOU so down?"
Tears brimmed Teddy's eyes, but she wiped at them before Skyler could see. "Uh, just…stuff."
Skyler nodded. "Oh, hey, do you remember when we made that video about Spencer?"
Teddy wanted to slam her own forehead against the lab table; she really wasn't trying to think of Spencer at all, but Skyler was just trying to make conversation.
"Yeah, I remember." She said. "Why?"
"Well, I thought, since we did so great together on the song, that we'd play together in The Battle of The Bands!" Skyler squealed. "Doesn't that sound fun?"
"Oh, joy." Teddy faked a smile.
