Pretty Little College Days: Emison
Alison:
I let out a groan of frustration. I knew this would happen one day. "Fuck!" I scream as I flip the mattress. I could feel the normal control and power I had slip through
my fingers. Where the fuck is it? Did someone take it? I let out another frustrated scream as I slump to the ground and bury my head in my knees. Who would dare
take my diary? I think to myself as I try to problem solve. My blood boiled at the thought of someone taking anything from me, let alone something so personal. I'm
gonna kill 'em. Who ever it was is dead. I sit up and wipe the tears that fell from my face. Never show weakness. I march out of my room and into the student
lounge, ready to cause a scene. First person I see is Aria on the couch. I walk over to her and she looks down from her phone. "Yes?" she asks with a raised eyebrow.
"Did you take it?" I hiss. She lies her phone down in her lap and stares up at me. "Alison, what the hell are you talking about?" I let out a frustrated sigh and run my
fingers through my hair. Don't show weakness Alison. "My diary. It's missing." I lower my voice so no one can hear our conversation. "You have a diary?" she asks
surprised. I clench my jaw and then nod my head. My cheeks burn in embarrassment. "Someone took it." "Where was the last place you saw it?" I shrug. "It was in
my room but I searched everywhere." I sit down next to Aria in defeat. "What makes you think someone took it?" I look forward. "I don't misplace things. Especially
things that personal." Aria looks at me but I don't make eye contact with her. "What kind of personal things are in there?" she asks me but I choose to stay silent.
Emily. My heart flutters at the thought of her name and my cheeks burn again. "Oh my god!" My eyes widen and slap my hand over her mouth. She pulls it away and
looks around. Lowering her voice she says, "You like someone, don't you? You put someone you like in there. I can tell because you're blushing." Your weakness is
showing. I sit back up and hide any signs of vulnerability. "No, and I need to go. Where is Spencer?" Aria shrugs. "Library maybe?" I get up and walk away. I get to
the double doors that lead outside and stop when I hear my name. "Really? Alison?" I hear giggling and I look over to a group at a round table. Mona sat in the
center. They continue to giggle and then one of them taps Mona on the shoulder and points to the steps. I follow Mona's gaze as she watches Emily come into the
room. "Hey Emily!" Mona yells. She looks up at them and then gives them a wave. I swear she's too nice. "Come over here!" Emily shifts her backpack so it's securely
placed on her shoulder and then walks to them. Mona motions for Emily to come closer to her and then whispers in her ear. She pulls away with a surprised look on
her face. "Really?" Mona nods and then reaches into her bag. She pulls out a tiny brown book and flips to a page. It can't be. I walk closer to the group. It is. My fists
ball up and I snatch my diary out of Mona's hands as Emily goes to look in it. "What the fuck!" Mona screeches its ripped from her hands. She goes quiet when she
realizes it's me. I move over and take a fistful of her shirt in my hand. I push back so her chair is only on its back two legs. "How dare you." I say through gritted
teeth. "I will destroy you Mona." I say when I feel two hands wrap around mine. I follow them up to its owner. Emily gives me a disapproving look. "Come on Ali, let
her go. Let's go talk." I roughly let go and follow Emily.
"So are you gonna tell me what all that was about?" Emily says once we're in a private area. I lean against the white wall and fold my arms over my chest. "Em, you
should really stay away from Mona. She's bad news." Emily chuckles and shakes her head. "What are you talking about Ali? She seems fine to me. I don't get what
you have against her." Her hands rest on her hips. "Em, can you just trust me?" "I just don't get it Ali. She was just being nice. She said she found your diary and
was giving it to me to give to you." A look of disbelief washed over my face. "Really? She didn't tell you what was inside?" Emily shakes her head. My cheeks turn red
with embarrassment for the third time today. "So…" I look up and we make eye contact. "What's in it?" I can see the curiosity in her eyes. "Some really private things
Em." I hold the small book close to me and begin walking in the direction of my dorm room. Emily trails shortly behind me. "Wait, Alison! I wanna know!" she whines
the entire way there. "No." I say with a serious look on my face. Emily looks down at her feet and then looks up, giving me the puppy dog eyes. I sigh and roll my
eyes. "No mean's no Em." I unlock and open the door to me dorm. "Yeah, but…" Emily's eyes glance down at the book and then makes a jump for it. I yank it out of
her reach a second before she makes contact. Her body crashes into mine and we both fall, landing on my bed. I reach my hand far over my head in an attempt to
keep it away from her. "Come on!" she grunts as she pushes up against me, attempting to get closer to the book. God, how doesn't know what she does to me. She
manages to get up on all fours. Oh yeah, cause I didn't tell her. Maybe I should just tell her… Get it over with…. My thoughts freeze when I suddenly feel her thigh
come into contact with my center. Oh, God. Keep it together Alison. I use my other hand to push her shoulder down as she reaches for the book. She falls back on me
and giggles. She goes to try again, her thigh making contact with my body once again. Does she not feel that? Or… Maybe she does… She goes for the book one last
time and successfully grabs it this time. Fuck. She hops off of me and holds the book over her head as if it were a trophy. "Got it!" she exclaims with a smile on her
face. I'm glad I could make her smile… What she's gonna read might change that… She backs away from me and uses the chair at my roommate's desk to put a
barrier between the two of us. I stay seated on the bed, allowing her access to the book I've kept private until now. I let out a sigh and her smile drops. "Hey, it's no
fun if you're not chasing after me." I shrug. "Ali..." Emily trails off as she looks back at the little black book. "I won't look at it if you really don't want me to." It's now
or never. I shrug once again. "Go for it."
She goes to open the book and then closes it once again. She places the chair back in place and sits next to me. "Just tell me what's in it." she says as she drops the
book onto my bed. "I know you put someone you like in there, I can tell. Just tell me who. I won't tease you about it." I bite my lip. "Okay. Let's make it a game?" I
suggest. "How about you guess. I'll answer yes or no." Emily agrees and lays back on my bed. "Noel?" I shake my head. "Nope." "Uhhh… Andrew?" "Nope." I say
again. "Ted? Travis? Sean?" Emily lists off and lets out a frustrated groan. "Okay. Let's take a new approach." she stops and thinks. "Height. Is he tall?" I nod my
head. Taller than me at least. "Okay, we're getting nowhere. Everyone's tall." She props herself up on her elbows. "Umm… Is he blonde?" Why does she keep saying
he? "No." "Brunet?" I nod my head. 'Okay." Emily lies back down and pulls out her phone. "Do I know him? Are we friends on Facebook?" I guess you know yourself.
"Yes. To both." I guess. "Okay, that narrows it down. "Alex?" She goes through her entire list of friends who are guys and continues to let her frustration grow.
"Alison! What the hell! You said he was on my friends list. I shrug. "I don't know." She stares me in the eyes. "But you swear I know him?" I nod. "I swear." "So." she
looks back at her phone. "Who am I missing?" You. I see a smirk play on her face. "Who are you thinking?" I ask. "Spencer?" My eyes go wide. "No! So not my type.
Plus, she's basically my family." Emily laughs. "I forgot about that. Plus, I thought tall, Brunette." she shrugs. " I don't know, maybe you're hiding more than I
thought from me." "Aria?" I shake my head again. "Figured, that was a stupid guess. She's short and well… A girl…" Emily trails off and then looks back at me. "Wait,
Ali… Is it a girl?" she asks and I feel my cheeks heat up. How does she make me like this? I nod my head. She blinks, shock obvious on her face. "Okay, is she
Sydney?" I shake my head. "Danielle?" I shake my head. She sits up on her elbows once again so she can get a better look at me. "Me?" There it is. She said it. Tell
her. Now. I nod my head and a look of disbelief washed over her face. "Are you angry?" I ask, not entirely sure what to do or say next. "No, of course not Ali." she
scoots over to me so we're closer. "How long?" she asks. "Since like freshman year." I end my sentence with and awkward laugh. "So when I - " "Yeah" I cut her off.
"I was just afraid and I don't know, I wasn't sure like you." I admit. "I didn't know either Alison, and you pushed me away." I could tell she was hurt. "I'm sorry Em…"
I try to give her a hug but she doesn't let me. "How do I know you're not just screwing with me like before?" she asks and I could feel a painful ping in my chest. "I
swear on my life it's not like that." I could feel tears forming in my eyes. Again with the weakness Alison. What did your mother teach you? I wipe at my eyes. "Fuck!
Emily." I let out a groan and I land on my bed with a thud. "You really fuck me up, ya know that?" The tears flow from my eyes. "You make me want to be nicer, to
be weaker." My eyes burn. "It's just so fucking hard." she sits next to me and wraps her arms around me. "Shhhh, stop crying Ali. I hate seeing you like this." I
burry my face in her neck. She holds me until I calm down. "So you really mean it?" she asks. I look up at her. "You like me?" I smile and nod my head. "Emily, I love
you." she smiles and holds me tighter. "I guess I'll give you a chance." she says as we pull back. A smirk plays on her face. "Really?" I ask and she nods. "So what
now?" she asks. I let out a sigh, "I really wanna kiss you." "I wouldn't stop you."
