Spelivia

Spelivia is the het ship between Olivia and Spencer from the All American fandom.

Canon
Olivia and Spencer meet when he transfers to Beverly Hills High. Spencer comes from a.working class family in the Crenshaw neighbourhood of L.A., while Olivia grew up rich in Beverly Hills. In Spencer's first class, everyone breaks out laptops for to work and the teacher tells Spencer he can pair up with someone. The guy sitting next to him is some racist white dude that pulls his computer away from Spencer. Olivia notices and intervenes, telling the guy off and asks Spencer to join her. They immediately get along and Olivia asks him to help her with the assignment since it's not her strong suit, with Spencer says he will do. After class, Olivia shows Spencer arounds school. She compliments Spencer on being funny and smart, clearly smitten with him. Then Layla walks by and Spencer sees her, clearly taken with her. Olivia is jealous and resigned, as Layla is the school's most popular girl, which she tells Spencer. Jordan comes up to Spencer and interrupts, taking Spencer away to the football world, but not before Spencer asks Olivia to have lunch together on Friday, which she happily accepts. She calls it a date and then squirms after Spencer leaves, embarrassed at her slip.

When Spencer meets Laura Baker at the Baker home, Olivia and Jordan are there and Olivia helpfully makes comments to put Spencer at ease, which helps. As her mom talks to Spencer, Olivia steals glances at him and watches as he leaves with Jordan to hang out at the pool with the other popular kids. When they meet for lunch, Spencer asks about her and Jordan's relationship after she makes a joke about the football team, and Olivia tells him they sort of went their separate ways in high school, with Jordan becoming a football star and her, an outcast. Spencer tells her she's cool, but Liv balks, teasing him that he's the new kid so how would he know. She confides in Spencer that she went to rehab and he asks about it. She tells him she was in rehab for 3 months in an aloof manner, but Spencer isn't fooled and asks her how she is feeling. Olivia drops the guard and says he's the first person to ask her how she is since she got out. Layla interrupts, inviting Spencer to a party at her house, but not Olivia. Olivia tells him that Layla is with Asher and that he should avoid those parties, but Spencer goes anyways. After someone rats out that Spencer doesn't live in Beverly Hills, the Bakers offer to have him move in with them to stay at Beverly High. He accepts and on his first night Olivia stops by his new room to welcome him officially.

One morning, Spencer's showering and Olivia accidentally walks in and sees him naked, thinking it was her brother taking a shower. She awkwardly covers her eyes and apologises profusely, trying to find a towel on an empty rack while Spencer watches her, trying to help. She says she's just gonna go and walks straight into the door frame, insisting she's okay while Spencer asks if she's okay and he should help. When she comes down for breakfast, she awkwardly avoids eye contact with Spencer and walks into everyone, which has Spencer cheekily smiling. The team has to attend a booster event, but Spencer doesn't have a suit, which he is embarrassed about when he admits it to the Bakers, who try to insist it's not a problem after realising they put him on the spot. Olivia tells that she will handle it and that they should go ahead as she will take herself and Spencer to the event. She gets him one of her dad's old suits and Spencer asks what the booster event is, so she explains. He smiles as she talks, appreciating how down to earth Olivia is despite growing up rich. They arrive at the party together, with Olivia on Spencer's arm. They're having a good time, but then Layla comes along. Olivia's annoyed and gives her a look. Layla sees it and apologises if she interrupted, and Olivia bites back that she may as well continue, establishing the competition between them for Spencer's affections. Layla proceeds to compliment Spencer, while Olivia rolls her eyes, clearly uncomfortable at Layla flirting with Spencer.

Fanon
Spelivia is the most popular ship in the fandom, taking off immediately when the show started. It is also commended for being a slowburn throughout the seasons, with them being teased while being in other relationships and not getting together until Season 3. It rivals Spayla, although Jordayla, Layla's ship with Jordan, is much more popular than Layla/Spencer.
