Chapter 1
Two girls were sitting on a bed in a well-decorated girls bedroom. Both of them were small. One of them was very thin and has long and heavy black curls and deep caramel brown eyes. She wore a black skirt with a dark purple shirt and a black leather jacket as well as a hat. The other one has a bit more curves, short red hair, and emerald green eyes. She was wearing jeans and a green printed pullover.
"But are you sure that your parents agreed to this?" the red-haired girl asked.
"Yes, they are. You can stay at our house as long as you want" the other one answered.
The first one seems to think a short moment before saying:
"Okay"
"You mean okay, you're coming with us?!" asked the second one.
The redhead nodded.
"OMG! I'm so glad to introduce you to my friends!" the brunette exclaimed loudly and threw her arms around the other girl's shoulder to a big hug.
"Aria, please calm down! I can't breathe!"
"Sorry, Alice" the so-called Aria apologized. "I'm just so happy you to come with us!"
"Now tell me more about your friends," Alice said pointing on the picture on the bedside table
"Sure. First, there is Hanna Marin, the blond one. She is very kind, but she is missing in self-confidence. Spencer Hastings, the big one with the long brown curls is a very smart girl, just like you, she's also very strict with herself and always want to be the best everywhere. There's also Emily Fields, the tall one with the tanned skin. The most sportive one of us and also the most open-minded person that I ever knew."
"And who's the fifth? On all the pictures there's another girl. Who is she?"
Aria seems to think a second about it before answering.
"You mean Allison? Allison DiLaurentis? She was the leader of our small group."
"Did you just say 'she was'?" Alice asked surprised.
"She went missing one year ago, just before my family moves into Iceland" Aria explained.
"What do you mean with 'she went missing'? Did she run away or was she was kidnapped or something like this?"
"Actually, we don't really know what happened to her. One night we were staying at Spencer's and the next morning she was just gone."
"I'm so sorry Aria," Alice apologized. "It must have been really hard."
"It was, but it was the most difficult for her family. Her mother had a nervous breakdown, her father focused himself in a very intensive on his job and her brother Jason became more alcoholic than he was before."
"Sounds terrible"
"But now, one year later, maybe we can get over it and continue to live as normally as possible."
"I hope so. And I will do my best to help you live this way."
"Thanks, Alice"
"That's what friends are for," Alice said hugging Aria. "I better go home now, pack my stuff. After all, I do have a new life to start in, what was the name of that city again?"
"Rosewood" Aria answered.
"Yes, Rosewood"
