I hope you enjoy my story and tell me what you think about it by reviewing, following and favoriting.
Emily got to her old house which her, her mom and her dad when he wasn't over seas and that is why she moved back home because her dad was sent back to the front lines so no point of staying in Texas. Emily would be lying if she said she didn't like living in Texas but she would also be lying if she didn't think of her friends, more Alison than anyone else, every day but her friends in Texas are nice but no one could replace the four girls who made Emily laugh, cheer up and made her feel special in her mind.
Alison woke up for the first day of senior year knowing last years power struggle between her and Hanna for Rosewood's 'it girl' which Alison had not lost yet but she knew after taking Sean from Hanna she had won for the time being at least. The start of Junior year was really where her friendship group broke apart first Emily had left for Texas then Hanna became good friends with Loser Mona losing all of her weight the summer before, Hanna and Mona started chopping at Alison's heels so Alison took Sean, Hanna's crush for like forever, which made Spencer take Hanna's side and Aria take Alison's, at the top if she added herself. Alison after putting on her make up, doing curls in her blonde hair, putting on in style clothing and 6 inch heels grabbed her car keys leaving the house for her school.
Aria was waiting for Alison to arrive when she caught sight of Emily Fields and she called her over quickly. Emily heard walking towards Aria with a smile, they hugged quickly "Hey Em when did you get back?" Aria asked her former best friend.
"Last night and are how is everyone else?" Emily asked and she saw Aria stiffen
"Ali and I are great but Spencer and Hanna aren't our friends anymore," Aria said shocking Emily that her tight neat friends were no longer friends or were split in half or something like that.
"Why?"
"Well me and Hanna are at war to make it short, the bitch stabbed me in the back." Alison was behind Aria with her smile which still melted Emily's heart after all of this time and wondered if Alison still felt the same "Good to see you Em." Alison hugged Emily and both of their body felt like they were on fire but pulled away. Two girls who looked reminded her of two people were looking at Alison "What is it Cindy and Mindy?" Then it clicked they were the two twins which Alison called 'Gayrons' but now had no more glasses, their hair curled, their makeup perfect and in fashion.
"Hanna Marin is spending a rumor you are only dating Sean to get back at her what should we do?" Cindy asked Alison who smirked
"Well we shut it down because that is a lie and then we spend Hanna only got skinny because she had liposuction." Emily was shocked to see this side of Alison towards her ex-best friend
"Is that true?" Mindy asked
Alison shrugged "Does it matter?" The two twins shrugged running off going to spend the made up rumor about Hanna. Emily was shocked by what is happening in front of her whilst Aria doesn't seem that bothered but there is a glint of something which suggests she doesn't like it then Sean walks up to the trio with a angry expression, Alison curses under her breathe as he reaches her "Sean why are you so pissed?" Alison asks
"Why have I been asked about thousand times is Alison DiLaurentis only dating you to get back at Hanna Marin, is it true?" Alison's expression softens moving closer to him with a smile
"No of course it's not baby," Alison's voice was soft but not the softness which her voice could get back a year ago when her and Emily were alone and this scene in front of her made her heart break it two. She pecked his lips slowly then stepped away "Come on you know I'm not like that, I love you." Alison lied about the love part yes he was a nice guy but her heart belonged her someone else but how Emily wasn't running off by now that meant she was alone in her feelings
"I love you too Ali." Sean intertwined his fingers with Alison's smiling at her.
"Hey Em are you in our English?" Aria asked as the four walked into the school with all eyes on them which made Emily feel a bit self conscious but the other three hadn't noticed it in a while as the halls parted like the red sea
"With Mr. Fitz?" Emily asked
"Yeah and Em we sit outside at the normal table if you want to join." Alison invited which was a big deal normally but how they were old friends and maybe even a little more before she left it wasn't a big shock that she was asked to join.
"Ali I have football at lunch so I can't join sorry." Sean said as they walked into English to find the whole class already whispering about Hanna and Alison's rumors and Alison needed to put a end to it.
Sean wasn't in their English class so Alison kissed him as he left and said just load enough so people would hear "Bye I love you." The whole class fell into Ali's trap which is what Alison wanted
"I love you too." He left and Alison turned on her heels to find the whole class bar Emily and Aria staring at her
"Take a picture it lasts longer." Alison snapped and the rest of her classmates looked down. Alison took her seat in the middle of the class next to Aria and just in front of Emily. Hanna,Mona and Spencer walked in making the whole class fall silent and they glared at Alison who smirked "Hanna is that true did you really get liposuction?" Alison called smirking making Hanna look down
"Alison at least she doesn't use people to get back at others." Spencer snapped making Alison's eyes fill with angry
"Spencer do you want me to tell Melissa about that whole with Ian aka her husband?" Alison threatened winning two battles for one day but not the war "What about you Mona anything today?" The bell rang as Mr. Fitz walked in making the three other girls sit down as far away from Alison as they could.
Mr. Fitz wrote his name on the board then turned around to look at his students who looked shocked bar one who looked happy with herself "Okay I'm Mr. Fitz, your new English teacher and no more of what just happened before I came in that is for outside my classroom." Alison sniggered "What's so funny, miss?"
"DiLaurentis and how you have no idea how long or how bad this is you shouldn't really tell us about what we should do because you don't know anyone here so it's really just rude to make a guess of what is happening here, right?"
"Why don't you tell us the truth about what is happening here then Miss DiLaurentis?" Mr. Fitz asked
"You think the truth is some big shiny disco ball of purity? because it's not take it from me, you're always better off with a really good lie." Alison retorted with a smirk and Mr. Fitz rolled his eyes
He wrote out a slip handing it to Alison "We can continue this conversation after school." The whole class were looking from Mr. Fitz to Alison quickly
"You asked for my opinion so I gave it, who do you think you are?" Alison snapped
"Your teacher, after school finishes go meet Coach Fulton in the swimming stadium, got it?" Mr. Fitz asked
"Got it," Alison said "Ezra." Ezra heard her knowing Alison was taunting his about them briefly dating the summer of sophomore year but only Aria and Emily heard her raising a eyebrow, she leaned closer to them "I already know him, I kinda lied about my age and we briefly dated but then he found out and we broke up, I think he is still mad at me." Alison tells them smirking as Ezra Fitz made his way back to the front.
The English lesson was over and Spencer, Hanna and Mona all walked out of the room. They all felt like bursting out laughing when Alison was being put in her place well by Mr. Fitz reaction to the thing she muttered I guess Alison has something on him already. "I think Mr. Fitz just became my favorite teacher ever." Hanna said making the girls laugh
"Yeah and of course Emily took Alison's side when she comes back, I wonder how she spun this one." Spencer said
"I still can't believe Aria took Ali's, Alison's side after it all went down." Hanna was still in the habit of calling Alison Ali
"Lets get off this downer so what is our plan to dethrone Alison DiLaurentis?" Mona asks
"Nothing she has things on us which can destroy our school and home lives." Spencer said
"Spence is right Alison is way to powerful even if she lost Aria she still has a army of people who will do anything for her and Emily won't leave her," Hanna said walking into their next class
After school finishes
Emily wanted to try out for swimming again so she went to the coach's office who was more than happy to welcome her back with open arms. She went into the locker room and got changed into her swimming costume. Emily was meet by a girl who she didn't know "Your Emily Fields right?" The girl asked
"Yeah and?"
"I'm Paige and your really good friends with Alison DiLaurentis right?" Emily nodded "Wow you just got a easy high school year and didn't she get a detention so she will be sat in pool side all practice?" Emily felt butterfly's in her gut because Alison hadn't seen her swim in a long time and it was a thing they did before she left.
"Yes and Alison's not that bad when you know her." She defended
Paige laughed "Sure,"
Alison walked into the natatorium for her stupid detention which her ex-boyfriend/ new English teacher gave her, she noted to herself not to lie about her age to smart guys. Coach Fulton was smiling a small smile when she saw Alison. Alison handed the slip to the coach sitting in the stand fifth up avoiding the stares which the swimmers including Emily were giving her. Alison smiled at Emily sitting down taking out her phone "Miss DiLaurentis no phones!" Coach shouted making Paige snigger, Alison rolled her eyes putting her phone away.
After the coach sent the swimmers into the water Alison quickly took out her phone to text Ezra Fitz
From Alison: Ezra you better be nice or I might tell the principal about our relationship -Alison
From Ezra: Are you blackmailing me?
From Alison: Maybe giving you a warning
Alison put her phone away taking out a book of some type which she wasn't really going to read put just in case the coach looked up. She took out her mirror making sure her makeup was fine which it was as normal perfect. Her focus fell on Emily who was already done with her laps, first of course, Alison knew that Emily was amazing in the pool. Emily looked up at Alison and smiled which Alison returned looking back at her phone to find a text from Aria.
From Aria: How the hell do you know Mr. Fitz? xox
From Alison: Sophomore summer holidays we dated, he was at Hollis and I acted like I was 21 xox
From Aria: He is hot thou xox
From Alison: Yup but I have to go before the coach notices I'm texting bye bye Aria xox
From Aria: Bye Ali xox
She put her phone away and noticed Pigskin aka Paige was glaring at her. Alison just smirk tapping her heels against the stand below her. Then she noticed Emily was on her phone. Alison's phone buzzed and Emily's ID popped up.
From Emily: You look bored
From Alison: You could always push Paige into the water for me, it would make me laugh
From Emily: I wish I could but I might get kicked off the team also what is up with you two
From Alison: Long story Em for another time so do you want to come over later
From Emily: I'd love too are we going to talk about you know?
From Alison: If you want but not over text, meet me outside after we are done here.
Alison put her phone away waiting for swim practice and her detention to be over. After another 20 minutes it was over so she left with her bag over her arm with her heels making a click as she walked across the poolside floor. Alison was leaning against her car when Emily came out with almost half wet and smelling of chlorine. Alison stood up straight "Your house or mine?" Alison asked
"Yours your mom won't ask too many questions." Emily answered and Alison nodded
"You follow me in your car?" Both girls nodded getting into their cars driving to Alison's house.
The girls got to Alison's to find it was empty which was good because they went outside like what they did so many times last year. Spencer wasn't in her garden but she was inside her house. "So one thing you have to know that rumor about Sean is true kind of he's a nice guy but I don't love him but I can't upset him by telling him I don't." Alison said "He asked me and I thought I can beat Hanna for being the 'it girl' but instead I broke our friendship group in half making it me and Aria verse Hanna and Spencer and I'm sorry." Alison said looking into Emily's eyes but their fingers weren't touching how both of them were scared if they did the other might reject them.
"Ali I didn't come here talk about the others but us." Emily said and Alison knew that but still had to say it something about Emily which made Alison want to be a better person just like Emily is, someone who is loyal, kind, sweet and loving but also wasn't a push over, Emily in Alison's eyes was the definition of perfect.
"Okay."
