CHAPTER 2- EMILY POV- RIGHT WHEN ALICE FALLS ASLEEP-

I had gotten Alice her water and started walking up to her new room. I, honestly, am okay with her staying here. I was afraid that I wasn't going to like the new exchange student, but there's something about Alice. I don't know if it was her eyes, her smile, or simply the accent, but I do know that she is really sexy. There is just something that is so appealing about her that I can't really put a finger on.

"Here's you—" I began to say, but stopped when I saw that Alice had fallen asleep. She looked cute, but she seemed to be in an uncomfortable position. Her head was tilted back up against the end of the bed and there was a shirt in her hand that I was guessing was from the now opened suitcase. She really must have been tired. I set the water on the dresser and took a few steps closer to her. I decided it would be better to put her on the bed than having her stay quiet and be hurting. I'm pretty sure she's one of those girls that don't want to worry anyone. You could see the guilt in her face when, with what I could tell were her parents and her best friend, called and heard the worry in their voices.

I stepped around her and pulled out the covers off the bed so that I could put Alice in and not be worried she gets cold at night. Quickly I went back to where Alice had fallen asleep and picked her up bridal style. She was very light; I thought she would way more, but she seemed easy enough to carry. I put her on the bed and made sure she was tucked in. I turned off the light and made sure her alarm clock was on. I closed the door and crossed the hall.

I shut my door, and I tried to get over the tingling feeling that almost had my whole body numb. What was it about her that made me so intrigued? I have no clue; all I knew was that I couldn't help but want to be around her. Did I mention she was insanely hot? Her mind was pretty amazing too; the fact that she could remember everything she sees is pretty amazing. I was truly amazed. Too bad my mother couldn't be here. She had to go to the hospital and visit a friend who had been in a car crash and she was the first of kin. She had felt bad because she couldn't be here, but I knew that if I were my mom and Hannah, Aria, or Spencer were the ones to be at the hospital, I would be the first one there, so I volunteered to stay and meet the new exchange student. Thank you mom for not being here… I thought to myself as my mind went back to the picture of a smiling Alice. I made sure that I took a shower and did my hair before going to bed; my thoughts were on Alice when I closed my eyes…

MORNING-

'BZZR… BZZR… BZZR… BZZR…' I made sure that I knocked it down or somehow make it stop sounding. I raised my head and looked at the clock; it read 6 o'clock. I hated waking up in the morning, but after slacking off during the summer with Spencer, Hannah, and Aria; we made sure to stay up as late as we could gossiping and doing girly things… nope, that sounded so fake. Each night we would spend our time trying to solve the mystery that has turned our life into hell.

I got up and stumbled to the door. My eyes still filled with sleep, I walked out and headed down the hallway. I wonder if Alice is up yet… I thought to myself. Ugh, still, I couldn't get her out of my head. Last night I had dreamt about her and now it was starting to bother me. Not only was this girl a stranger and I felt like there was something different about her, I was dreaming about her. I shake my head to clear my thoughts when I arrive at the bathroom door. I walk in and start the shower; making sure it was hot enough to get rid of a lot of stress I have been having recently before going to get my towel from the closet. I wish I could just close my eyes and transport me to one of those magical lands where there was no A, no stress of any kind, and no such thing as a morning. Gosh, I hate mornings… I think as I grunt my displeasure.

"Never really thought you were a morning person…" I heard from behind me. I look to the side and, believe me or not, there was the girl of my dreams… literally… you know cause she was in my dreams… yeah, not so good on jokes. She was leaning against the door frame in gym close, and somehow that made her look way sexy. She had on an oversized yet well-fitting shirt on with tight yoga pants that made her ass look amazing…from what I could see. The yoga pants also showed off her legs perfectly, making her look amazing and sexy and athletic. I shake my head real quick and look at her again. She had a smile on her face, showing her perfect lips I might add. I giggle a bit and nod my head.

"Yeah, I guess I have never been a morning person, but can you judge me? Its way to cold and all your eyes want to do to close and go back to dream land." I tell her, she laughs and nods her head.

"I have the same problems, but I hate waking up in the middle of the day, and not have that many hours to do anything." She explains. I smile and nod. She stands up straighter and points with her thumb into her room. "Did you, by any chance, have put me in my bed last night?" she asked nervously. I smiled and nodded before responding.

"Yeah, I just thought that your back could have been hurt if you had woken up on the floor. You kind of dosed off when I went to get you your water." I told her. I could see her light skin of her cheeks turn light pink. She looked extremely cute blushing, and I knew I couldn't hold my smile.

"Sorry, then, I didn't mean to cause you any trouble, really." She said rather quickly. I smiled and shook my head. I was starting to like her personality even more; she wasn't self-centered or bitchy or she didn't think that she was all that. I really hate people like that.

"Really, it was no problem, plus you seemed to be stressed out and tired enough to need my help. Who knows you could use my help some other time…" I slowed down a bit after what I just had said. I think I could have sounded self-centered and I think I just saw her frown. Way to go Emily, way to sound arrogant… I thought to myself. "I mean I wouldn't mind helping you out again if you needed the help… I mean I would be glad to." She giggled a little when she noticed I was rambling. "That's…if you need any help, just ask." I told her, my word finally coming out from the prison they were held in inside my mouth.

"Thanks… um, now that you mention it, could you tell me where a coffee shop is nearby?" she asked. I nodded and tried to get my red cheeks to go back to their normal tan color.

"Yeah, there's one a few minutes away, if you want I could drive you there…" I said, trying to repair from my earlier attempt to be nice.

"No!" I heard her say quickly. She bows her head a bit and starts speaking in a hush town, but loud enough for me to hear her. "If you don't mind, could you just give me the address?" She told me. I look at her questioningly, cocking my head to the side.

"Sure, but if you want I'm going there today after I make breakfast. I have to run in the morning to the coffee shop, we can just take the car." I tell her. I smile a little when I see her eyes fill with guilt, then to realization.

"Wait, you're a runner?!" she asks. I smile and nod at her, "may I run with you, I was going to run to it anyways… I mean if I'm not imposing, of course." She started rambling again. I smiled a bit and couldn't help but giggle at her antics.

"Sure, and I wouldn't mind you running with me, I could show you parts of Rosewood if you want." I told her. I saw her nod and smile. Involuntarily I smiled back; somehow it was hard not to smile back.

"Um, you might want to take your shower with hot water." Alice says, pointing back at the bathroom with the water running. I totally forgot, I guess I was a little distracted.

"Oh, right, I forgot about that, I guess I should go…" I say and I hear her giggle again and I can't help but smile at the sound when I turn around. "Also, if you're wondering or not, but give me like twenty minutes and then I'll make breakfast or you could just take whatever you want to eat and stuff…" I tell her my cheeks heating up again. Then I remember that we're going to a coffee shop that serves breakfast. "Or, if you want, we could eat at the coffee shop, but only if you want to, and I'll pay for you so you don't have to worry…" why do I keep embarrassing myself? I thought to myself.

"Either one is all right, as long as I eat, I'm totally cool." She says with a giggle.

"Coffee shop it is then." I tell her she nods and points to the shower when I didn't move. I nod quickly when I figured she was pointing at the shower. I felt heat rise to my cheeks. Seriously, why are you so nervous today? I ask myself. While walking away towards the shower, I feel a warm hand grab my wrist. I look into blue crystal eyes-did I mention she had blue eyes? - And I seemed to melt. What is wrong with me? I think to myself. I sigh and I can't help but feel like I could look into them and never get tired.

"Um, sorry…" Alice began when she let go of my wrist. I hated the cold and emptiness feeling I got when the contact with our bodies seemed to minimize.

"It's okay…" I tell her and I feel like an idiot because I'm pretty sure I'm ogling her right now.

"Do you know when your mother will be here? I kinda hoped she would be here, you know, give her thanks for letting me stay and all." She rambled a little. I smiled a little and tilted my head as I looked down at her fidgeting hands.

"She should be here in a little while, if she isn't here yet. One of her friends got into an accident and she had to go to the hospital…" I tell her she nods her head and I can see pity in her eyes.

"Sorry, for asking, I just wanted to know, sorry about her friend, I hope she's okay, and I didn't mean to intrude, I know I'm intruding enough…" she kept rambling and I couldn't help but smile a little.

"It's okay, you have a right to know, but I'm sure she'll be here in a bit. Let me get ready and we can go." I tell her. She nods her head and heads back into her room while I go to the bathroom.

20 MINUTES LATER…

I was dressed and ready to leave, but before I went downstairs, I checked myself, for what seemed like the millionth time, in the mirror. I smiled at myself as I approved what I was wearing. I decided to wear some light blue short shorts that made my legs look great with my black Nike running shoes and a tight white shirt that looked like a sports bra. You could see half of my flat stomach, but I usually wore this to go running unless it was winter, so I was happy with what I wore. I'm just hoping that Alice notices. What am I saying? I don't care if Alice is watching…right? I ask myself. I shake my head and begin descending the stairs and turning to the direction of the kitchen. Before reaching the kitchen I hear someone talking.

"No, I told you, I need this…there are things that are better left alone…no, I'm coming back, but not soon…I already told you why…it's not safe…they're looking for me and all I can do is hide…well it's not my fault I was born like this…you know what? This conversation is over… I'll protect them if I have to, but right now, this is the best I could do…yeah…" Alice's voice kept going back to a whisper when she got angry and then it would rise when she didn't sound so angry, but something seemed wrong. Her conversation kept going and I paused for a second debating what to do. "Alright…no if I can I'll get back to you…yeah, okay, bye." I heard from the kitchen. What was Alice hiding? What was she hiding form? All these questions ran through my head. I shook my head to clear my thoughts and began walking into the kitchen.

"Hey, you ready?" I asked her. Her mouth seemed to hang open and her breath seemed to hitch. Her confident demeanor changed to a very nervous one. I tilted my head at her reaction and fought back a smile. I loved her reaction, but I hated the deep blush that rose on my cheeks.

"Uh…yeah!" she seemed to snap out of her state like dream. I smiled at her and began walking towards the door. I couldn't help but feel flattered and my heart seemed to speed up when I saw the glimpse of lust in her eyes. I needed to get everything together because I swear I could melt under her stare. I could feel her eyes on me as and I felt like I was being watched, but not the 'A' kind of watched, but more of a lover type of watched.

"Okay, so running distance to the shop is about 10 to 15 minutes, if that's okay?" I ask her and she only nods. I smile and begin to open the door. I held I t open for her and she stepped onto the porch, and I couldn't help, but look at her ass as she walked out.

This was going to be a long run…
