AN: I know this chapter is short but it's only an introduction.
Disclaimer: I own nothing
Aria, Spencer, Hanna, and Emily lounged all over Spencer's room. It was Friday night and they had nothing to do. They were planning a way to spend their winter vacation when Hanna's phone rang. They all went tense anticipating another message from A.
"I hate this," Hanna said shoving her phone in her purse.
"What?" Spencer asked. "What is it?"
"It's just my mom wondering when I'll be home," she explained. "I just hate that I cringe every time I get a text. When is A going to leave us alone?"
"I know," Aria replied. "I feel like my entire life is spent dodging A."
"It's like she's everywhere," Emily said as she gazed out of the window. Just as her words escaped her mouth, all of the girls' phones rang.
"Thinking about me? A." Hanna read out loud. They all stared. Their messages were identical. Hanna chucked her phone across the room. "I'm sick of this little bitch."
"Well," Spencer said matter-of-factly. "What do you suppose we do? March right up to her and take away her phone privileges?"
"Maybe we can get her grounded," Aria scoffed.
"It's not funny," Hanna yelled. "This bitch is ruining my life. Do you remember when you'd give a guy your number and every time you got a text your heart skipped a beat because you thought it was him?"
All the girls nodded.
"Well," Hanna continued. "That doesn't happen anymore. We're too busy worrying about this A person."
"There's no use being angry," Aria told her. "She doesn't seem to be going away."
"Hey look," Emily interrupted. "There's a shooting star. Make a wish."
Each girl turned toward the window and watched the star swish by. They closed their ideas and focused each making the same wish: I wish I lived in a time when A didn't exist.
"Who else wished for a pony?" Hanna joked. They all laughed.
After endless nail painting and a pot of Spencer's coffee, they dozed off to sleep scattered all over the bedroom. None of them were aware of the changes that were about to occur.
