Chapter 163: Spencer's POV
                          
"Are you mad at me?" Toby asked me and looked down.
                          
"I don't think I've ever loved you more!" I said and I truly meant it. "Come on, let's go inside. We have to make speeches."
                          
"What are we supposed to even talk about?"
                          
"I don't know; just thank everyone for voting for you."
                          
"But nobody even voted for us!" Toby yelled and I gave him a look. "Nobody voted for me, I meant."

"Your Winter Ball King and Queen, Spencer Hastings!" the DJ yelled and everyone cheered as I took the mic.
                          
"Hey guys!" I began. "I just wanted to thank everyone for voting for me. I'm really honored to be here so thanks a lot. And thanks for voting for Toby because that made the night so special."
                          
I gave the mic to Toby as everyone clapped.
                          
"Um," Toby said nervously. "I didn't know we had to make speeches so thank you, I guess?"
                          
The crowd started booing and I couldn't help but laugh.
                          
"Say something sweet!" the DJ yelled and a lot of people in the crowd agreed with that.
                          
"Wow, peer pressure much," Toby said and took the mic back. He turned to me and I looked up at him. "Last night, I looked up into the stars and matched each one with a reason why I love you. I was doing great until I ran out of stars."
                          
A lot of girls said, "Awww!" and even I did as well, but the DJ didn't look impressed. 
                          
"I'm sure you got that off Tumblr," he said and Toby gave him a look.
                          
"If you held up 11 roses to a mirror, you would be looking at 12 of the most beautiful things in the world," Toby said and I started tearing up.
                          
"13 if you were there with me," I said and he laughed.
                          
"Cheesy!" the DJ said again and Toby gave him another look.
                          
"Why does it matter what I say?" Toby asked him.
                          
"Come on, man, you can do better. Say something from your heart."
                          
"Fine," Toby sighed and turned to me. "It's truly a shame you never get to see yourself. Only in a reflection in a mirror or in a photograph. You never ge to see how your eyes light up every time you feel passionate about something like every time you talk about school. You never get to see how your face forms into a beautiful smile or the way you laugh when I tell you a joke."
                          
I was crying at this point. "Toby, that's so sweet." Even the DJ was looking at us fondly.
                          
"You never even get to see how flawless you look when you're crying, Spence. But I promise I will be by your side everyday to tell you how beautiful you are."
                          
"Awww!" the crowd went and I hugged Toby hard. I was ready to marry this prince.
