U Remind Me: Chapter 1

Emily Fields was sitting quietly on her bed as held her phone in her hands. She was rereading the same text that she had just received from 'A'.

'Hey Em,

A new girl has just moved to Rosewood. I think you should meet her or, I could just tell everyone what really happened to Maya….

-A'

A tear rolled down Emily's cheek and she sniffled and wiped the tear away. She sighed and put her phone face down on her bed. Pam Fields knocked on the door.

"Hey sweetie, Are you okay?" Emily only nodded in response to her mother question.

"Dinner's ready. Do you want me to bring you a plate or will you come down and eat at the table?"

"I'll eat with you…" Emily said as she sat up and swung her legs over the side of the bed and stood up.

Pam smiled at her daughter and walk downstairs. Emily grabbed her phone and she followed her mom down to the dinner table and sat in her usual spot.

Pam set down their plate and sat across from Emily.

After dinner Emily had hugged her mom goodnight she went to take a shower. When she had changed into her pajamas she checked her phone and saw that she had received a picture message.

She opened the message. It was a picture of a gorgeous brunette with smooth brown wavy hair with matching soft chocolate eyes. She was flashing a pearly white smile. Her luscious glossy lips were in perfect balance of plumpness and width. She was sitting on a bench with her legs crossed. A coffee was in her left hand and holding up a peace sign with her right. The girl's olive skin looked smooth to the touch. Emily's scanned the picture with a slight smile.

'She's very beautiful…' She thought. Emily read down to A's message.

'Her name's Veronica Soto. She's also into girls. Pursue her and dump Samara.

-A'

Emily frowned and, went to bed.

It was Monday morning and Emily was dressed in a plain navy t-shirt and legging with knee high boots.

She was at Aria's locker listening about her date with Fitz.

"Hey Em, did you hear that there's a new girl?" Aria asked tilting her head to look at Emily.

"Yeah." She said as she gripped her books to chest.

Then they heard the unmistakable tapping noise which meant Jenna was nearby. Jenna had just turned the corner holding her books in her free hand. A group of jocks were goofing around and one bumped into Jenna knocking her books down to the floor. The boys kept walking not even looking at Jenna. Emily felt bad for Jenna but, didn't move from her spot. All eyes were on Jenna as she struggled to kneel down and find her books.

A girl who obviously had a heart closed her locker and picked up Jenna's books and helped her stand up. "Those boys were so rude to you…," She said as she flipped her hair from her face and Emily instantly gulped. It was her. It was Veronica. Emily was in pure shock. "I'm Veronica." She said in a sweet soft voice.

Jenna smiled. "Thank so much. You didn't have to help."

"Of course I did. I'm not shallow enough to just watch someone struggle. Apparently everyone else here feels differently." She spoke the last sentence with a sharp tone.

"You're right. No one here has an ounce of compassion in their body. Can I have my books?" Jenna said as reached out her arm. Veronica hands Jenna her books.

Jenna thanks her again and goes her way and Veronica walks to her locker again.

"I think that's her," Aria said as she closed her locker. "I gotta get to class, Em. See you in English." Aria walked into her homeroom and Emily was still looking at Veronica.

Emily quickly snapped out of her trance and walked to her homeroom and sat down. Her phone dinged and she opened the text she received.

'I wonder what classes she has. Don't you?

-A'
