Chapter 1
Toby's Point of View
"A has taken this too far. Going after Hanna's mom, crashing a car into Emily's house, trying to hurt the girls. We need to put a stop to A!" I said.
"That's what I am planning to do. I followed the girls to Ravenswood. They went to an apartment that seems to be A's lair. I found this journal hidden away and a copy of a manuscript." Caleb said. He showed me the first few sentences of the manuscript.
It read:
The first thing Alison ever told me about herself was a lie. Lying was her oxygen. She could do it while she was laughing; she could even do it while she was kissing you…
The next paragraph talked about lies.
"So A is a guy? And was in a relationship with Ali?" I asked.
"I guess so."
"The girls only knew Ian was in a relationship with Ali. Is there anyone else she was with that summer?" I asked.
"I don't know, but we need to find A before he can do anything to hurt Hanna or the girls."
"I agree, so I'll take a look at the diary while you read the manuscript." I said. He agreed, and we started reading. I read the first few pages and it seems like whoever A is met Alison at Hollis. I kept reading, and took a break after the section I read that was dated before the police found Alison's body.
"I got nothing so far. All I got was A met Ali at Hollis and she told him she was 18. Did you find anything Caleb?"
"No, but A seems like he is on the inside. Involved with our lives, either that or he is an extreme stalker."
"Should I make some coffee, and the keep working?" I asked.
"Sure, we need to find out who A is as soon as possible." I made coffee, and started working. The next page I read was dated the Labor Day when Ali's body was found. I read the first few paragraphs and got very sick to my stomach. I finally had a lead on A.
"Caleb?" I said while reading more.
"What Toby? What is it?"
"I think I know who A is." I said, Then I read out the page. "I was very successful today. I am pretty sure I got one of Ali's friends hooked on me. I saw her in the bar, and got to know her. This is a perfect opportunity to get more information of Alison. I even got her to make out with me in the bathroom. Soon enough she will spill everything about Ali. I start teaching at the high school tommorrow, and I have to do my best to seem like I am just the new teacher, and not someone who wants information on Ali."
"Wait, it can't be Ezra." Caleb yelled.
"The only way to know for sure is to asked how Aria and Ezra met. I am going to call Spencer and ask."
"What will you say when she asks why you are asking?"
"I'll lie. We need to find out who A is, no matter how devastating the answer is." I explained. I dialed Spencer's number and she picked up.
"Hey Toby." Spencer said.
"Okay I know this question is a weird question, but I need to know the answer. I will explain everything later, but for right now I need to ask you something."
"Okay what is it Toby?"
"How did Aria and Ezra meet?"
"Why do you ask?"
"I just need to know, I will explain everything tonight, can you just give me the answer?"
"Okay, but you'll need to tell me later, they met in a bar, and they clicked right away."
"Did she hook up with him right away?"
"Toby that's a weird question, but kind of, the made out in the bar's bathroom right after they met.'
"Thanks Spencer, I will come over and explain everything."
"You better." She said in a flirtatious tone.
"So what did she say?" Caleb asked.
"Ezra and Aria met in a bar and follows what A put in his journal."
"Sow what are you saying?"
"Ezra is A!" I said. "We need to go to Spencer right away with this."
Me and Caleb arrived at Spencer's house. When we entered and Emily, Hanna and Spencer were there.
"Hey guys." Spencer said hugging me and Hanna hugged Caleb. "So why did you asked me that weird question?"
"What weird question?" Emily said.
"He asked me how Ezra and Aria met." Spencer said. "So why did you ask that?"
"We should wait until Aria get here first." I said.
"She will be here soon." She said.
"Well, we should tell them before she comes." Caleb said.
"Tell us what?" Hanna said
"We know who A is!" Caleb said.
"Who!?" All three girls yelled at the same time.
"It's Ezra." I said. We should them all the proof we have against him.
"No he can't be." Emily said.
"Well I don't know any other teacher who sucked face with one of us." Hanna said.
"Hanna!" Spencer yelled.
"We have to tell Aria!" Emily yelled. Before any of us could say anything Aria knocked on the door, and Spencer let her in. We were all scared and didn't know how to bring this up. At least her and Ezra are broken up, and it won't hurt as much.
"Guys I need to tell you something." Aria said.
"Okay, we need to tell you something to." Emily commented.
"Okay Aria, you go first." Spencer said. We were all prepared for the worst.
"I don't know why he wanted me to keep this from you, but I just can't keep this from you guys anymore." Aria said
"What is it?" Spencer ask.
"Me and Ezra got back together."
