Chapter 2
Emily opened her locker and looked for her Chemistry book. She wasn't in the mood for anyone or anything. She knew that it was going to be one long day. She hated feeling the way she did and sometimes she wished that she could just come out but she knew that it would create way too many problems and her life was already hectic. Especially with 'A' trying to sabotage her every chance she got.
'A' knew her secret but just didn't have any evidence to out her. Emily was glad about this. It gave her a little piece of mind knowing that she could keep one thing in her life a secret; for now at least.
"Excuse me." said a voice.
Emily hadn't realized how deep in thought she had been. When she heard the person's voice she became so startled that she dropped her books on the floor.
Emily quickly bent kneeled down to gather her books.
"Oh my gosh I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." said the person as they quickly tried to help Emily pick up her things.
The person, who was still unknown to Emily, grabbed her chemistry book. Emily gathered the rest of her things and stacked them in a pile quickly. She felt so embarrassed.
They both stood up. Emily's focus was still on her things.
"No its okay I'm such a…" said Emily trailing off as she looked at the person in front of her.
The girl that stood in front of her was a girl about the same age as her. She had chocolate brown, slightly wavy hair hidden by a grey fedora. She was wearing grey skinny jeans, with grey converses, a yellow and grey stripped sleeveless tank with a black leather jacket. The sleeves were pushed up and she could see the brown bangles that she was wearing on her wrists.
She was absolutely gorgeous.
Emily tried not to stare but she couldn't help it. This girl was undeniably the hottest girl she had ever met.
"Are you okay?" the girl asked after a few seconds.
Emily snapped back to reality and shook her head.
"Oh. I guess I just lost my train of thought for a second sorry. I've never seen you around here before. My names Emily Fields." said Emily quickly offering her hand.
The girl looked at Emily's hand and smiled. She shifted the book that she was holding to her other arm and shook Emily's hand.
"I'm Maya St Germain. I just moved here from California." informed Maya.
"And you moved to Rosewood?" questioned Emily a little surprised.
"What can I say I like to challenge myself." said Maya, "Big City girl moves to small-town Rosewood, you never know could make a best seller with that."
Emily smiled her goofy smile and Mata laughed. Maya was intrigued by Emily. She didn't know what it was but she seemed pretty interesting and down to earth. Maya hoped that she would get a chance of knowing her a little bit better. She was definitely looking forward to.
"Emily not to be rude but do you think I can have my hand back?" asked Maya.
Emily looked down and noticed that she was still shaking Maya's hand and instantly pulled away, once again embarrassed. She didn't know what it was that made her so nervous with Maya. Hell, yes she did. Maya was hot and she was one hundred percent into her. She just couldn't do anything about it. She wouldn't.
"Sorry." apologized Emily.
"It's all good." laughed Maya, "So what grade are you in?"
"Eleventh." stated Emily.
"Me too. So how about you help me get to my first period class. I have Chemistry also and I am honestly going to wind up in like the gym if I go alone." explained Maya.
Emily tried to play it off like she was thinking about it. She could see the look of anticipation on her face and she could tell that she was very close to begging which kind of made Emily want to laugh but she held it in.
"Fine I guess I could help the new girl get to class, since it's the right thing to do." joked Emily with as serious of a face that she could put on.
"My savior" smiled Maya.
Before the conversation could get any further the first bell rang. That was the warning bell telling them that they had five minutes to get to class.
"So where is this Chemistry class?" asked Maya.
"Turn around." stated Emily.
Maya turned and sure enough the class was right across from Emily's locker. Who would've known?
She had.
Aria walked into her English class. It was early so no one was around. She looked at the desk where Ezra was hard at work concentrating on the papers before him. She smiled at how cute he looked. She bit her lip as she watched him still unseen. She pulled down the shade that covered the glass window that was on the door.
"Excuse me Mr. Fitz." said Aria playfully.
Mr. Fitz looked up and saw Aria in the doorway. He smiled and the swallowed hard. He could have sworn that the window shade had been up five minutes ago.
Aria slowly walked over to his desk. He smiled his million dollar smile and she felt herself melt but she stopped herself from falling apart. She loved this man no matter what rules tried to keep them apart. She never used to believe when people said that you couldn't help who you loved but that changed when she met Ezra.
"Aria." said Mr. Fitz still smiling.
"You know that homework you gave us yesterday was really hard. I think I might need some extra tutoring or extra credit." flirted Aria.
"Oh really?" asked Ezra interested.
"Yeah. Really." said Aria.
She began to walk around Mr. Fitz's desk who turned his desk chair so that he was always facing her. Aria grabbed onto his chair and stopped him from turning. She slowly pushed him so that he was facing forward again and she began to rub his shoulders.
"I think we would both benefit from some one on one time." said Aria.
"Maybe." said Ezra as he leaned back into his chair enjoying the massage.
Suddenly they heard the doorknob jiggle and Aria moved away as fast as she could. They both waited expecting someone to barge in and catch them together but no one did and after a few seconds they both let out a sigh of relief.
"I should probably go." said Aria.
"Yeah. I have a lot of paper work to finish. How about we have dinner at my place around, say seven?" asked Ezra.
"Sounds good." said Aria.
She quickly kissed him one the lips and whispered an "I love you" before walking out of the classroom leaving a very happy Mr. Fitz.
Down the hall she saw Hannah slam her locker shut. Her happy mood soon turned to worry as she watched one of her best friends having a breakdown. She knew that something was seriously wrong. Hannah wasn't exactly an angel but she was never really one to go ballistic in school.
Hannah slammed her locker shut and laid her head against it. She didn't know what was going on with her lately. It was like freshman year all over again. Food was the enemy and so was her mother. "A" was ruining her life once again but she knew deep down that her worst enemy at the moment was herself. Ever since "A" had made her eat the cupcakes she had totally lost it.
When she had got home she had went straight to the bathroom and purged. After that she cried for almost an hour. She felt so stupid because Aria had been nothing but supporting and she had let her down.
"Hannah." said a worried voice.
Hannah looked up and saw Aria looked at her concerned. She didn't know what it was but at that moment she felt like her usual 'stay strong' persona was failing her. Aria was one of the few people that could see her true self. She couldn't let Aria know that her eating disorder was rearing its ugly head once again. She couldn't hurt her.
"Han please talk to me. I know something's wrong. I can see it in your face; you've been crying I can see it. What happened? Was it 'A'?" asked Aria.
'A'. Hannah hated A so much. A was ruining her and her family's lives. Whoever A was, was ruthless. They didn't care about privacy or their feelings. All they wanted to do was make their lives hell and expose their secrets. A was just like Alison but she was one hundred percent sure that it was not her because Alison wouldn't of hid. She would have done the damage face to face.
"I got into a fight with my mom." said Hannah.
It wasn't a complete lie but it wasn't the full truth either.
"Oh Hannah." said Aria.
Aria pulled Hannah into a hug. Hannah tried her best not to break down but she did allow a few tears to fall. Aria rubbed Hannah's back as she tried to console her best friend.
"What was the fight about?" asked Aria hesitantly
Hannah didn't answer her question and even though she felt that there was more to the story but he didn't want to push it. She knew that if Hannah really wanted to talk about it or want her to know then she would tell her when she felt comfortable. Until then she would just make sure that Hannah knew she was there for her.
"It's okay you don't have to say anything." said Aria.
Suddenly the bell rang and the two friends separated. Hannah wiped her face and tried to make herself look presentable.
"Thanks Aria. I'm okay now really. We should both get to class." said Hannah before walking away leaving a confused Aria.
"Okay." said Aria waiving to her as she walked away, "See you later."
The sound of Spencer's alarm clock rang through the house. Her hand slipped out from under the cover as she tried to reach for the snooze button unsuccessfully. She grumpily threw the covers off her head and slammed her hand on the snooze button.
"Dammit!" mumbled Spencer as she noticed the time that was on the clock.
8:45
"MELISSA!" yelled Spencer angrily.
She knew that her sister had had to have messed with her alarm clock on spite of what had happened the night before. She remembered distinctly setting the clock for seven am sharp. Melissa was the only person who would have any reason to mess with it.
Spencer got up and quickly threw on some clothes. She brushed her teeth and combed her hair before grabbing her tote bag and running down the stairs. Her parents and sister were in the kitchen. Her mother was eating breakfast, her father was reading a newspaper on the kitchen table, and Melissa was grabbing the orange juice container out of the fridge.
"Spence what are you doing here. I thought you left for school an hour ago." said her mother as she looked at her daughter coming down the stairs.
"I would have if someone hadn't reset my alarm clock, Melissa." stated Spencer angrily looking at her older sister.
"Oh please Spence. I don't play childish games like you." remarked Melissa with disgust.
Spencer had half a mind to slap Melissa right then and there. She was always so annoying. Spencer hadn't meant to kiss Wren. It had just happened but Melissa wouldn't hear it. She just had to stay angry with her.
"Stop it the both of you!" yelled Spencer's dad as he slammed the newspaper on the table.
"But dad…." argued both Melissa and Spencer at the same time.
They stopped when they saw their dad put up his hand.
Melissa slammed the carton of orange juice on the counter and walked out of the house towards the barn.
"You better get off to school Spence." informed her mother, "And take a fruit for breakfast."
"I'm not hungry." said Spencer before barging out the front door.
It was going to be a very long day.
