Theo Hyde

I moved out of my parents' house at the age of 18 due to their lack of parenting. Teresa and I got jobs to pay for an apartment. I ended up moving into a three-bedroom house that I now own. I told her to move in, but she met her boyfriend a few weeks before we started our second year of college, and things got pretty serious. She moved into his house instead. Although she still insists on coming over to invade my space. Sisters, gotta love them. I walk into my bedroom, getting ready to change, as I hear a knock on the front door. I walk out of my room and to the front door. I open the door, and Theo looks up from his phone. I mentally kick myself for forgetting he was coming over. He gives me a small smile. "You forgot I was coming over?" I rub the back of my neck, noticing the iced tea and mocha for the first time. "Kinda," He chuckles and holds out the iced tea to me. I take it and step back. He walks in, and I shut the door. "To be fair, I did take almost an hour to get here." I

I look up at Spencer as I take a drink of the wine he ordered for me. He smiles as he takes a bite of his steak. He chuckles as he clears his mouth. "Why are you looking at me like that?" I shrug and look down at my plate. "It's just a bit weird seeing you after four years. I mean you look so different from the high school jock I knew." He rolls his eyes. "Yeah, well, things really changed after my mom died." I give him a sad smile. "How has that been?" He looks away for a moment. "It's weird. I get these moments when I want to tell her some good news or bad, and I remember that she isn't here anymore. I guess it really took a toll on me the year you left." I swallow harshly. "I'm sorry," He shakes his head. "Don't be ridiculous. I told you to leave. College was your dream, and I wasn't going to ruin that for you. I just had to adapt to not having you right around the corner." I search his eyes. "What brings you to Georgia?" He takes a deep breath. "After a while, Arizona just

Maggie's P.O.VI get out of my car and lock it. I walk into the school when Jasper walks up to me. I look at him and give him a small smile. "Hey," he smiles. "I thought your car broke down?" I nod and glance at it. "Theo had fixed it last night," He nods slowly. "So you called him for a ride?" I take a deep breath. "I needed a ride home." He lets out a dry laugh. "You could have called me. I mean, you were coming from my house. You were literally down the street." I look away from him. "I told him I was coming from a party, so can you not say that any louder?" He crosses his arms. "Why?" I look back at him. "What do you mean, why?" "You told me that for me to be with you, I would have to tell him. I wasn't ready before because I wasn't sure how he still felt about you, but I'm not ready to lose what we have." I let out a dry laugh. "I gave you two weeks to tell him. Now you want to say something to him when he and I start talking again? He and I are finally on good terms. Y

"The food is amazing, Mrs. Hyde," Maggie said. We were all gathered around the dining table, eating. Maggie sat next to Theo and Jasper. I sat next to Spencer and Teresa. Laura was next to Jasper and Nancy. Teresa was also next to Theo. Nancy looked at Maggie with a small smile. "Thank you," Maggie nodded. I looked at Theo for a second at the same time he looked at me. I look down real quick. A hand goes on my knee and I look at Spencer. He smiles. I smile back and take a sip of my water. "So Anna when did you and Spencer start dating?" I choke and look at her. "What?" She smiles as she leans on the table. "We aren't dating ma'am. She is just my best friend. That's all." Spencer answered. I glance at him and he smiles. "Oh, I just thought by the way you two acted around each other that you were." She said. "I know wouldn't they be a cute couple?" Maggie asked. Nancy nods in agreement. I glance at Theo as he looks at Spencer. "Don't get me wrong, Anna is amazing and beautiful but

A-Week-LaterAce and I sit down at our usual table. He smiles at me. "What are you doing this weekend?" I give him a confused look while grabbing one of my carrots."Are you asking me out on a date?" He lets out a nervous laugh. "No, not yet. I just wanted to see if you were up for a cabin weekend? My dad owns one, and he gave me the keys to it. I figured we could go this weekend?" I smile. "Just you and me?" He smiles. "If that is what you want?" I was about to answer that when Jasper, Teresa, Maggie, Laura, and Theo walked up. We look at them. Teresa smiles as she sits next to him. "What are we talking about?" He looks at her. "My dad's cabin," She smiles and looks at me. "A romantic weekend?" I narrow my eyes at her for making it awkward. "I wish. No, I was asking as a friend." Ace said. I look at him as he smiles. "As a friend?" Jasper asked as he sat next to me. Ace looks at him. "Yes," Jasper hums. "Then you wouldn't mind if we went too?" Ace shrugs. "Only if Annalise
