Chapter 1:

The Girls Who Cried Wolf

Emily P.O.V

First day back at Rosewood High, Go SHARKS! Woooo…. It feels like I'm just dripping of sarcasm today and how can you blame me? Everyone looks at us like the girls who cried wolf. We say Ian's dead but yet there's no body and not even we can explain it! It's all "A's" fucking fault….

Just as I finished my tyrant, I pull into the school's parking lot and I see Hanna and Aria talking intensely. I turn off my engine, grab my bag and make my way towards them. I look around and Oh My God, It's true, all eyes ARE on us! I see the look on Hanna and Aria's faces and they look…worried? Maybe even scared? What the fuck? My brain starts running up conclusions that span light years away and then it hits me…..Where's Spencer? I get to the girls and I blurt out.

"Guys, where's Spencer?" They turn to me, now void of all emotion.

"Spencer's been arrested…" Aria trails off.

I turn to Hanna waiting for her to tell me that this is some type of joke instead I get her looking down, biting her lip confirming Aria's statement.

"How? When? Why? Wait what?" I say almost stumbling over my words.

"Melissa…" Hanna trails off, finally finding her voice. "Melissa and Spence got into a fight over Ian. 'A' sent Melissa a text about Ian and Spencer kissing." She continued.

"We don't know what happened after that but Mrs. Hastings told us they arrested her this morning because the police believe she was involved with Ian's disappearance…" Aria finished.

In THAT moment my world stopped.

"Uhmm….mm? but she….huh?"

I just couldn't seem to find the words, I need to get out of this situation and clear my mind.

"I gotta go." Was all I could muster up to them.

I can't believe it! First Hanna being bump over and nearly dying in the process and now Spencer's being arrested! Fuck it..I get to my locker to get my Chemistry and Business textbooks. I get my books, close my locker and BAM! I bump into someone….

What the? Next thing I know I'm on the floor, books all around me and the mystery person I bump into stands up.

"Shit, shit, shit, shit!" I hear her say.

Okay, so it's a girl…but her voice doesn't sound familiar though.

"Are you alright?" She reaches out to me and I finally open my eyes to see this mystery girl.

I notice that she has on purple chucks with baby blue laces, a tight ,black skinny jeans, a red checkered shirt and a grey sort -of –baseball jacket.

"Yeah, I'm just great!" I say holding my head and thinking of the situation earlier.

"I'm really sorry! I didn't see you….It's just that it's my first day at a new school and the secretary lost my schedule somehow, I can't find most of my classes, I bump into a stranger, I have to find the bathroom and now I'm babbling like an freaking idiot to the stranger I bump into! This has the best day ever just written all over it!' After she's done with her little tyrant she giggles sadly.

'It's really fine…wait, you said you're new?"

"Yeah?"

"Well would you like me to show you around? By the way my name's Emily, Emily Fields." I reach out my hand and smile at her.

"Well Emily Fields…I would love too." She returns my handshake, she locks eyes with me and a genuine smile curves her lips then we start walking down the hallway when she speaks again.

"My name's Audrina Leigh Duncan, but most of my friends call me Ali…" I swear for the second time today my world stops and everything shifts on its axis. I stop in my tracks and muster out a 'You gotta be fucking kidding me!' She then looks at me curiously I realize then that I just stopped in a hallway full of hormonal teenagers and here I am with probably no emotion on my face.

"Emily…are you sure your 100%? Cause I can take you to the nurse." She smiles at me and then looks around. "Well once I find it." She continues and giggles to herself and that breaks me out of my Alison induced trance.

"It's cool , but do you mind if i not call you.…uhmmm….Ali?" I looks at her sheepishly, she notices my looks and then laughs.

"Yeah sure Em1 It's just a nickname. You can call me anything you want, babe…." She locks eyes again and then winks.

Oh my God! Seriously? Is this some random flashback I'm having cause this does not seem real at all….
