Hey everybody! Decorating lockers, or meeting at lockers, we love them. For four years, Toby Isaacs and Manny Santos have been great friends-- wise counselors, shoulders to lean on, understanding. Well, we believe it's time for something more and that these two ultimately deserve each other. Our Locker Buddies, whether friends or lovers, deserve a shot, even though it is a long shot. The cheerleader and the gamer geek defy social circles because they truly care for one another, and we hope romance is in store for them.

Tobanny Quotes

Islands in the Stream
Toby bangs his arm on the locker*
Toby: Ahh oohh! Ow!
Manny: Toby what’s wrong?
Toby: I banged my arm! It hurts!
Manny: Aw poor baby! Is there anything that I can do to help?
*Manny kisses his elbow before walking away*

Careless Whisper
Manny: Someone’s in love
Toby: Yeah but I think she’s mad at me
Manny: And you’re doing this for her
*Toby nods*
Manny: Big mistake, trust me Toby it will make her feel smothered.
Toby: Smothered? No it will show her I care

Back in Black

*At Jimmy’s locker*

Manny: I didn’t know Jimmy had so many friends
Toby: Jodi Menkanico, Heather Sinclaire. A lot of these are from strangers.
Manny: Really
Toby: People who don’t even know Jimmy care about him. My own friends won’t talk to me.
*Manny puts her hand on Toby’s shoulder*
Toby: I have to go to Rick’s visitation tonight but, I can’t face his mom.
*Manny shakes her head*: What about JT?
Toby: What about him?

The Bitterest Pill
Manny: Tell me he’s being a paranoid freak.

Toby: Freak, yes. Paranoid, not so much. I kissed Liberty.

*Manny hits him*

Toby: Ow!

Manny: Are you cuckoo bananas?

Toby: No! Well yeah. I don’t know, am I?

Manny: Yes!

*Manny grabs him and pulls him into the locker room*

Toby: What? What are you doing?

Manny: Why on earth would you do something so ridiculously stupid?

Toby: Because I like her Manny. Because she’s cute and she’s sweet and sad and she needs me.

Manny: And you want to be her knight and shining armour? Well it’s wrong. Both of you are a mess right now. This is the worst possible time.

*Toby starts to walk away, but Manny stops him*

Manny: Toby you just buried your friend. A friend who still had feelings for the girl you just kissed.

Toby: I know Manny. I know and I couldn’t feel guiltier believe me, but what now? What can I do?

Manny: Take the kiss back.

Toby: What? How? Get in a time machine?

Manny: Tell her you didn’t mean it. Tell her you were on crack. Whatever. Just take it back.

Toby: Fine. Fine I will. I’ll, I’ll issue an official kiss retraction. Happy?



As you can see, our Locker Buddies spend a lot of time at the locker together. Foreshadowing? Because significant others often meet each other at their locker. Maybe one day, Toby and Manny will decorate each other's lockers.
