A/N: I wrote this story a long time ago so if it sucks, please tell me... I won't be offended.
"Dad's suspicions of them. I think Aria's still seeing him but she's playing with dad. She's going on "fake dates" with Holden Strauss," Mike Montgomery informed me. I could almost see him sitting in his room, putting quotation marks around "fake dates" with his fingers. Mike didn't want me knowing who he was.
"Holden Strauss?" I pondered at the name. It sounded familiar, "Didn't he and Aria used to go to pre-school together?"
"Yeah, his family just got back from Portugal and Aria keeps bringing up funny memories at dinner. Which is still tense with dad there,"
"Gosh," I breathed, "Part of me wants to come up there but I can't face mom and dad or Aria. I'm sure they've forgotten about me by now."
"Chloe, you moved out of Rosewood and stayed with Aunt Dana until you were fifteen. Honestly, with all of the crap our family's had to deal with, I'd give anything to be in New Orleans with you right now. And I don't think Aria has time to worry about her long-lost older sister," Mike told me.
"Who are you talking to that's in New Orleans?" a girl's voice, Aria, muffled in the background. It sounded like she was crying. What I wouldn't do to yell out to her and comfort my little sister.
"A classmate who's doing an extension program," Mike lied.
"Mike, look, my class at Hollis starts in fifteen minutes. I need to go," I looked at my watch.
Just as I was about to hang up on my brother, he spoke again, "Hollis… College?"
"Yes. Hollis Satellite School. It's out of Rosewood, I think."
Mike mumbled something to Aria and she choked back a response. He shooed her away. "You don't go by Chloe Montgomery, right?" he asked.
"No. Chloe Simmons," I responded. Now I was getting suspicious, "Mike, what do you want me to do?"
"Do you know Mr. Fitz?"
"Jeez, a lot of questions," Mike cleared his throat, clearly impatient. "Yes. He's my English professor and the Associate Dean,"
"Talk to him, use the name Montgomery and then call me later. I think that he would be happy to know your related to Aria," Mike said cryptically. "Bye."
Before I could say another word, my brother hung up on me. I slapped my phone down on my hand and then immediately stuffed it into my bag, realizing that I had ten minutes to get to campus.
