Chapter 2:

As Weird As Slapping Goats or Wearing Mom Jeans

Emily P.O.V

Today as been weird to say the least. Everybody watches us like we some freak show. Spencer was the big news at school and would most probably be on the cover of tomorrow's 'Rosewood Observer'. I had swim practice after school and avoided Paige as much as could. She wanted to keep me her 'Dirty Little Secret', not come out and I'm not up for being pushed back into the closet…If that was even possible. Me and Leigh spoke during lunch seeing that I couldn't sit with Hanna or Aria. I showed her to classes and a tour of the school. I found out that we have Biology, History and English Literature together and since Mr. Fitz….I mean Ezra quit got Ms. Shepard as our substitute again. Once she stared teaching Leigh made her way to the empty desk in front of me and sat down…

*FLASHBACK*

"You know you're very good at sneaking around, L" I said and giggled quietly.

"Just one of my many talents." She smirked at me.

Is she flirting with me? I think I'm gonna blush…

"You know you're cute when you blush, Em." Our eyes lock and I can tell that she's teasing me with the truth.

"Anyway there's this 'Welcome to Rosewood' party for me…" She trails off and I cock one eyebrow at her in confusion.

"Don' look at me like that!" She giggled. "Riley, Mona and Naomi are organizing it and apparently the whole Rosewood is invited SO I wanted to formally invite you to the party of the year or at least the week." The corners of her lips curve into a smile hoping that I'll come.

"And if you say 'NO' I swear I'll drag you out of your house tie you to a goat and force you to wear Mom jeans!" She looks at me menacingly and I look at her horrified.

"Come on, Leigh!" I look at her pleadingly.

She was about to come with her comeback when Ms. Shepard turned around and said.

"Miss Duncan, Is there something that you would love to share with us?"

"I'm allergic to clothes, I'm probably going to have to tie Emily over here to a goat and Ms. Shepard is that…Mom Jeans? They look very what's that word?….mmm…comfortable." The whole class starts to snigger and laugh, there's even the tiniest upward curve on Ms. Shepard's face.

"Nice to know Miss Duncan, but next time please pay attention."

Leigh mutters out a 'yeah, sure' and the second Ms. Shepard's back is turned, Leigh turns around.

"Please say yes or do you really want me to torture you with a goat?"

"Okay, okay I give up! Seeing as I don't wanna get tortured, I'll come." I smile at her.

"Well Good! Cause I don't know where to find a goat in Rosewood." She says while rolling her eyes.

*End of Flashback*

Just as I'm about to go shower all this chlorine off me, my phone rings and guess who's face pops up on screen?

"Hey, Samara."

"Hey babe. I was wondering if you have plans for Saturday?"

Saturday? Saturday? Mmm…Oh shit! Leigh's party!

"Uhmm…Mara, I got-" But I get quickly cut off by the blonde on the other end of the phone call.

"You wanna go with me to Ali's party with me?" I cringed when said 'Ali'. Wait…hold up she knows about Leigh and the party? Wow seems like she was right, apparently the whole Rosewood was going to be there.

"You know Audrina?"

"Yeah, I met her through her ex-boyfriend Ben…." She trails off and for a moment there was silence "To think of it he goes to Rosewood High, maybe you know him."

Rosewood? I know ONE Ben in Rosewood High, his in my swim team too and goes by the title of 'My EX'. Hardy fucking har har….I must have been quiet for a while, processing all this information because the next thing I hear is.

"Emily, you're still there?"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah…Sorry, I've been a bit spaced out today." I break my silence

"That's understandable, Em. So? You wanna go to the party with me?"

I was already gonna go so I blurt out "Yeah sure, Mara."

"Great! I'll pick you up around 7, Bye." She said with excitement pouring out of every word.

"Bye." And with that I hang up.

"Did I just agree to go to Leigh's party with Samara?" I asked myself out loud even though there was no need because I was the only one at home.

Spencer's been arrested, I've become part of a freak show, I bump into someone who's nickname is Ali, I found out her Ex is my Ex, I think she was flirting with me, she became friends with the Queen Bitches of Rosewood High in a matter of 3 hours and on Saturday they're throwing a party for her which is invited me to and I'm going with Samara. Yes, Today has been weird….
