NEW STORY! I was originally going to make this into a role play, but it's hard finding people for that so I'm just going to write it in third person. I'm really excited about this one so updates will only be ONCE a week and will be, hopefully, longer than most chapters I have written. Enjoy and Read!
ONE YEAR BEFORE ALI'S DEATH:
Alison scanned the room. It was such a dreary day in Rosewood the place Ali called home. She was looking for a friend. Well actually a confidant. Alison didn't have friends. She had frenemies. Her eyes stopped on Aria Montgomery. Aria was very similar to Alison. She was independent. Alison liked the way Aria marched to her own beat even it it resulted in her being alone most of the time. Alison moved her eyes to a girl near her. Hanna Marin was hefty. Alison saw thirty different things she could do to make Hanna better looking. She did not care for Hanna, but she was wealthy and Alison liked expensive things. She could be of some use. She kept scanning and stopped on Emily. She always suspected Emily had a thing for her. But in all honesty who didn't have a crush on Alison? She was only a sophomore at Rosewood High School and she was already the most popular person there. She even snagged Ian Thomas, the hottest most popular guy here at Rosewood. Of course it was a secret, but they were together nonetheless. Emily looked up as if she felt Alison's eyes on her. Alison smiled her perfect white smile and saw Emily blushed. Alison moved on and rested her gaze on Spencer Hastings. Spencer was Ali's only real threat. She was kind and smart. She flitted from group to group like a bird. She seemed to have something in common with everyone. And she was the only one who had ever stood up to Ali. And Ali liked the challenge. The bell rang signaling the end of lunch. Alison got up with her two best friends, Lara and Julia and walked to English. All four girls were in this class and Alison enjoyed watching them. She would reach out to Aria tonight.
Being popular had its perks. Alison could get anyone's number with the snap of a finger. She had poked around until she had gotten Aria's cell number.
Hey Aria this is Ali. Just wondering if you wanted to hang out sometime. Text me biatch.-A
Aria was shocked to receive a text from Alison. She was the most popular girl at Rosewood and Aria was a...nothing. Aria texted back right away that she was free anytime. Alison smiled. Aria wasted no time answering her text. She gave her a place and a time to meet Aria later today. She sat down on a bench to wait. She was sitting right across the street from The bakery where Hanna would be going to soon. She waited about five minutes until Hanna came strolling by. What a tragedy. She had drive to be pretty. She had nice make-up, but as your eyes drifted down people were repulsed. Hanna was...well Hanna was fat. Alison got up after Hanna went into the bakery.
"Can I get the 8 cupcake mix please?" The cashier took her order and smiled. Alison strolled in.
"Can I help you?" Hanna looked over and blushed as she spotted Alison.
"I'll just have a coffee to go." Alison pays and stand near Hanna.
"I can help you look better, you know." Hanna looked around until it clicked Alison was talking to her.
"What?" Alison smiles as they hand her her coffee.
"I can help you loose the weight...the healthy way." Hanna is given her cupcakes and she follows Alison outside.
"How?"
"Here's my number." Alison writes down her number on her coffee cup and hands it to Hanna. "Call my maybe." Alison turns around and walks away leaving Hanna stunned.
Two girls in two more to corner. Alison figured Emily would be easy. She had a crush on Alison so getting her to be friends with Alison would be so easy. Alison went home. Her brother was passed out drunk and her mom was busy slutting it up some mystery man and her dad was working as per usual. Alison changed out of her fancy upper end clothes and into her field hockey practice uniform. She and Spencer had been on the same team for almost a year now it was time to get close to her. Alison left early knowing Spencer would be there first practicing for practice.
"Ian, can I talk to you real quick? I just need some help with this shot." Alison peeks over and watches her boyfriend hug Spencer around the back before helping her swing and make the shot. But she was shocked when he started kissing Spencer's back. She was hurt. He was cheating on her Spencer and he was cheating on her by dating Melissa. Spencer turned around in shock and Ian kissed her. Alison pulled away angry. No, she needed to calm down. It means nothing Ian loves her. She peeks back over and Ian is gone. Spencer drops her field hockey stick and sits on the bench and drinks some water.
"Hey Spence." Spencer looks up.
"Alison."
"Was that Ian who kissed you?" Spencer become paralyzed.
"It was an accident." Alison joins Spencer on the bench.
"Hey, Spencer, if you ever need to talk to anyone I'm here. I know we aren't friends, but I'm a really good listener." Alison slips Spencer her number before getting up and searching for Ian. Alison hadn't gotten very far when Spencer called her name.
"What?"
"Are you free tonight?" Spencer fell for the trap. She must really be feeling a lot of pressure from her family.
"Um. Depends. I have plans with a friend for dinner and then another friend after dinner. So if you're free around 9 I'll pick you up."
"But you can't drive?" Alison smiles.
"I learned early. Do you not trust me?" Spencer smiles in return to Alison's question.
"I don't know if I do. I barely know the real you."
"Well tonight you will." The rest of the girls start streaming in for practice.
After practice Alison sneaks off to go get ready for dinner with Aria. They had agreed to meet at a little place outside of Rosewood called The Road. Alison had suggested this place since it was outside of Rosewood and no one would catch them together. Alison arrived late making Aria worry a little bit about being stood up.
"Alison you came." Alison smiles as everyone turns to eye the new girl walking in.
"Of course." Alison sits down across from Aria. "And call me Ali." Aria smiles. Alison liked Aria. She was quiet and nice, but she had her own flair to her. While Aria read the menu Alison stared at her. Aria had pink streaks lined throughout her hair and wore tons of jewelry.
"That was a good dinner." Alison was standing outside with Aria while Aria waited on her ride.
"Yeah it was. You're really different Aria. I really like you, but you see if I want to be your friend I can't be popular and well I really like being popular. So I'm proposing we be secret friends. We text and hang out together, outside of Rosewood of course, and we talk casually at school. Would you like that Aria? Cause I would." Aria smiles.
"Yeah Ali I'd love to be your friend."
"We share everything together because friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close." Alison smiles at Aria. Aria nods. A car pulls up with the headlights blinding Alison.
"Bye Ali."
"Text me bestie." Alison turns away before Aria can turn around to ask how she's going to get home.
Alison walked to her car and drove over to pick up Hanna. Hanna was already outside waiting.
"Hey get in." Hanna slides into the car.
"So how are you going to help me?" Alison smiles.
"I'm going to show you how I keep thin." Alison pulls into her driveway and gestures for Hanna to follow.
"I'm home." Alison walks right into her house and into Ali's room. She takes a bite from a candy bar on her bed.
"Gross I'm so full from dinner. Come." Ali pulls Hanna into the bathroom. "Close the door."
"What are we doing in here Ali? I'm uncomfortable."
"I'm showing you how to be skinny." Alison pulls her hair back into a ponytail and shoves her finger down her throat until she starts vomiting into the toilet. Hanna jumps back in surprise and disgust.
"WHAT? You want me to throw up my food?" Ali wipes her month and flushes the toilet before washing her hands.
"It's one of the easiest ways to lose weight and people don't notice because it looks like you're eating." Hanna looks at her confused and scared.
"Hanna, do you want to be my secret friend?" Hanna perks up. "We'll text and hang out, not in public of course, but we'll be friends. And we'll tell each other everything because friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close." Hanna smiles before walking past Ali to the toilet.
"i just ate a cupcake before you picked me up." Ali demonstrates with her hand. Hanna follows and shoves her fingers further down then she liked until vomit started raising. When she was done Ali was smiling at her. She washed her hands and then led Hanna out.
"Good job friend." Hanna smiles.
"Next-up make-overs!" Hanna and Ali do each other's make-ups and bond over fashion until it's 8. "I'm meeting a friend at 9 so I need you to go." Hanna's smile disappears, but she follows Ali as she leads her down.
"Do you need a ride cause I really need to wash this make-up off my face and the walking will be good for your weight loss."
"I'll walk it's fine." Ali sends Hanna out into the cold dark night and runs upstairs to her room to change out of her dinner clothes into pants and a top before grabbing her keys and driving over Spencer's house to pick her up. Spencer is waiting for Ali of course.
"Where we going?"
"I thought we'd go to the park and talk. You're very interesting to me Spencer." They drive in silence until they reach the park.
"What do you want to know?"
"What's it like to be a Hasting?" Spencer and Ali walk further into the park.
"It's...fun. My sister is perfect and I constantly have to prove myself. I'm already in three AP classes as a sophomore and I'm running for student council and working for the Mayor. Plus I have field hockey practice all year round. There's just so many things and so little time. I don't know how Melissa does it." Ali is quiet as she listens to Spencer ramble on and on about her family. Alison hated Melissa. She was a know it all who craved attention she didn't deserve. She was a lot like Alison, but less ruthless and not nearly as smart. It didn't help that Melissa was dating Ian. Alison hated her with a passion, but Spencer was different. She wasn't so effortlessly perfect she worked for it day after day. She deserved to have everything Melissa had, but she never would because of Melissa.
"I want to be your friend. Your secret friend. I want to be popular, but I really like you so I'm offering secret friends to you. And I want you to tell me everything because friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close."
"Really you want to be friends with me?"
"Yes Spencer. So will you be my secret friend?" Spencer nods and Alison smiles. 3 girls down one more to go. Alison dropped Spencer off after their little talk and then went home to go to bed. It was the first time in a while that she had been in bed before 11.
NEXT DAY AT SCHOOL:
"Emily!" Emily stops walking when she hears Alison's name. "I'm coming to the swim meet so you better do well. I'm watching you." Emily smiles as Alison turns around with Lara and Julia behind her.
After the swim meet Alison finds Emily in the girls' locker room.
"Congrats on winning. I know you did it for me." Emily blushes.
"It helped."
"Do you want your reward?" Emily nods and smiles. Alison comes in closer to Emily and kisses her on the lips.
"You want to be my secret friend?" Emily still startled from the kiss nods. Of course she wanted to be friends with Alison. She was perfect.
"Yes." Alison smiles and pulls away sitting down on the bench.
"Friends share secrets. That's what keeps us close. This is our little secret okay. I have a boyfriend and he can't know about our kiss." Emily nods. "Here's my number." Alison slides the piece of paper down Emily's bra. "I look forward to hearing from you." Emily stands still in shock that Alison not only kissed her, but was that close to her breasts. Alison turns away and walks out of the locker room.
Alison had chosen four girls; four different girls.
Spencer- for her brains
Aria- for her uniqueness
Hanna- for her money
Emily- for her talent
And each girl had her secret. Alison kept secrets. Not because it was fun. No because it gave her the advantage. If someone told her everything she could hold it against them. And when people belonged to Alison they didn't ever leave.
"Alison DiLaurentis has been missing for almost a year to this day..." The news blared loudly as Aria's parents brought in boxes out of storage. Ali had gone missing a few weeks before Aria had left, and while it was hard to leave it was harder to come back. Alison was gone yet she was everywhere.
Chapter one done! This was all mostly set up. Next chapter continues and the four girls will meet each other and meet A. I plan to steal most plot points from the show, but I haven't decided if 'A' will be the same person. I am leaning towards changing 'A' to someone else.
