Chapter 1
It was the last day of summer before junior year. Alison, Spencer, Aria and Hanna were all sitting outside the brew having their regular coffees.
"So are you guys ready for Noels end of the summer party tonight," asked Alison.
"Hell yes! I can't wait to get my drink on," said Hanna who was overly excited. This caused the other girls to burst out in laughter.
"Maybe you shouldn't drink so much this time Han, the last time Spenc and I had to carry you out of there and you nearly puked all over us," said Aria.
"Hey, I was just enjoying myself and you guys had to ruin it! I was not gonna lose that beer pong tournament! The prize was $200 and I could definitely use it towards my annual shopping sprees, replied Hanna.
"Oh we know Han you yelled at us all the way home about it," said Spencer.
"Okay guys, enough of the drama," said Alison. The girls all looked at her with their mouths dropped.
"Coming from the Queen of Drama," said Spencer the tall brunette.
They all started giggling and couldn't stop. They were nearly finished with their coffees when Hanna said, "Hey Ali would you mind going in and getting me a cookie? I want to dip it in the rest of my coffee and I know you owe me one for covering for you when you went out last weekend with that guy from Sheridan Prep."
"I guess so. Anyone else want anything," Alison asked and the other girls all nodded their heads no.
Alison got up from her chair and turned around to head into the brew when she noticed this girl she has never seen before. She was running with her headphones in across the street. Alison couldn't help but stare. The girl was tall, had tan skin and long brown hair. She was wearing running shorts and a sports bra. Alison was looking her over, not realizing what she was doing her eyes traveled from the brunettes face down to her legs. Her face was beautiful, her arms were so tonned. Her stomach was ripped. She had never seen a girl with such defined abs. Alison realized her mouth was open and closed it as she licked her lips. The girls legs were so defined too, she could see her calf muscles flex every stride the girl took. All of a sudden she was snapped out of her gaze when she nearly was ran over by Noel Kahn who was walking out of the Brew.
"Hey Ali, you coming to my party tonight?" Noel had this smirk on his face. He and Alison grew up together. Their parents were close and always wanted the two to date. They tried that, but they thought they were better off as friends.
Alison responded, "Yes the girls and I will be there!" She placed a hand on Noels shoulder as she walked past him into the Brew to get Hanna's cookie.
After Alison was inside the Brew Noel smiled and waved to the girls as he headed to his Jeep to leave.
Alison returned with Hanna's cookie and handed it to her as she sat back down.
"Ali, I think you left your mouth on the ground back there," said Spencer.
"What are you talking about," snorted Alison.
"Ali we saw you gawking at the girl who just ran by here. It was pretty obvious," said Aria the small brunette.
"I was just looking at her shoes, they are the new Nike Free Runners that I have been dying to get." Ali hoped that was enough to get them to shut up. She didn't know what she was thinking. She liked boys, but something about that girl made goosebumps rise on her skin.
The girls just nodded their heads and said okay. They weren't going to push the subject because they didn't think Alison was gay, they just wanted to tease her.
"Well come on ladies lets head back to my place and we can get ready there! Spenc it's your turn to drive tonight," said Alison.
The girls all got up and headed back to Alison's house. Where they got ready for the party.
Emily just returned from her run and collapsed on her front lawn. She was breathing heavily trying to catch her breath. She looked at her watch to see what time it was and see if she beat her last time.
"Yes!" Emily cried as she saw that she did beat her time. She closed her eyes for a minute when all of a sudden she was drenched in ice cold water. She gasped and open her eyes to find her best friend Toby with a bucket in his hand smiling.
"Toby I'm gonna kill you for that!" She jumped up chasing him. Toby was laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
"Okay, okay I'm sorry! I couldn't help myself," he yelled as Emily tackled him to the ground.
Caleb came out from behind the bushes and said, "Come on you two break it up. We have to get ready for Noels party tonight."
"Alright let me shower and get ready I will meet you guys at my car at 9," said Emily.
Emily entered her house and headed straight for the shower. She showered and made her way to her bedroom where she was trying to find something to wear. She wanted to look good because she knew she needed to, considering she would be starting her new school on Monday. She pulled out a pair of skinny jeans. A plain white v-neck t-shirt and a black leather jacket. She put on her Sperrys and left her hair natural and put on a little makeup. By the time she was finished it was 9 so she headed out to her blue Camaro where Toby and Caleb were waiting on her.
"Would you look at that Emily Fields is actually wearing something besides athletic gear," snarked Caleb.
Toby punched Caleb on the shoulder and started laughing with him.
"Real funny guys, now come on lets go."
