March was the month that I went to spring fling with my secret boyfriend and we looked at the stars and the city lights from the top of the hill. It was the month I went on a couple dates with Spencer and then broke up with the secret boyfriend because I wasn't lonely when Spencer was around I worried I was too close to being a cheater.
