Alison POV

I was up all night thinking. So when it was time to get ready for school, I was a grumpy hot mess. Emily was already out of bed ready for the day ahead, me on the other hand still haven't brushed my teeth. I had to act fast because it was already 7:30, and there was no room for error when it came to looking good,

Five outfits, a 15 minutes shower, 3 earrings, 3 mini skirts, two hairstyles and a bowl of cereal later I was ready. Just like always Emily was in the car waiting for me. This just proves to Paige that Emily doesn't dare go anywhere with out me. She needs me and I love that.

First period algebra was a bore. Ken was constantly dropping his pencil to get a glimpse under my short skirt. I didn't mind though, I like to drive them wild. He was cute. But not my type.
Three periods later I met up with the girls for lunch.

"Hey Ali." Hanna and Aria said at the same time.

"Hey girls, what's everyone up to?"

"We were just talking about the party we're planning." Spencer said proudly

"Ou a party. Count me in!"

We all had a little laugh until I realized Emily was no where to be found.

"Uh, guys. Do you happen to know where Em is?"

"Well at first I saw her when I was talking to Ezra, and then I seen her leave with Paige."

"Yeah I seen them get into Emily's car." Hanna added.

"I don't understand why Emily spends some much time with her. She has US! But if she likes to hang out with little piggies I guess that's okay."

They all started at me, their eyes felt like 100 needles all over my body.

"You okay Ali?"

"Oh yeah, just peachy."

There was another awkward silence. And you know me I hate silences.

"Sorry guys, I woke up late, and I didn't get enough sleep. So I'm a little grumpy.''

They nodded making it seem like they understood but I could tell they didn't believe me.
The rest of the day seemed to drag out. Every minute felt like an hour. I still couldn't get over lunch. I guess I really am tired. As soon as the bell rang I dashed out of the classroom to the front of the school. Emily was my ride for the day so I decided to wait for her here.

I waited for 5 minutes then 10 then 20 then 45, when the door flew open. It was the swim team. I looked for Emily and she was no where to be found.

"Excuse me, Emily's on the swim team right?"

"On? She like holds the team together." The girl chuckled and proceeded to walk away.

"I mean is she here?"

"Actually no she's not, she left with Paige at the end of school. They didn't come to practice today."

I stood there. Not knowing what to say. Did Emily ditch me here to go off with PAIGE!? I knew what was going on. Paige was challenging me. If she wants to play games, I'll play too. But DIRTIER.

I called Cece. A good friend of mine. She picked me up 10 minutes later. We made our way to Emily's house, but no one was home. But little old me knew all the ways to sneak in and out of Emily's house. I climbed up to the window and shimmied it up. I looked around and there was Emily's laptop. Nothings better than a little revenge.
Just as I was writing the email Emily called.

"Hello?"

"Hey Ali! Where are you, I'm so sorry, I went over to Paige's house and lost track of time. I'm on my way back to the school."

"No need Em, I got a ride."

"Really with who? Spencer?"

"Um no."

I paused. If Emily wanted to ditch me for Paige. I'll make it seem like I ditched her for a guy.

"Who then?"

"Chris Lions."

"Oh."

Bingo, I could tell Em was mad. Not mad at me but jealous. Just how I liked it.

"Yeah, I even went over to his house and we hung out for a little while."

I knew it was a lie but I couldn't let Emily think a was some loser who had waited for her for almost an hour.

"Well at least you got a ride. I'll pick you up tomorrow."

I could hear the sadness in her voice.

"Hmm maybe, I think Chris might come and pick me up."

And with that I hung up. Feeling back in control I finished the letter and sent it to Paige.

To: PaigeMcCullers707
From: EmFields
Dear Paige,
I have something to tell you.
I've been thinking about you alot.
And when i mean thinking about you I don't mean in an innocent way.
I've been having fantasies about you, and I won't lie.
I think I like them.
I just want to know if you feel the same way about me?
Please don't take this the wrong way, I just find you so attractive. And you can't blame me
Don't reply to this or text me. My boyfriend is getting suspicious with all the time I've been spending with you.
Leave me a note in the sign in front of the bistro.
Tonight. I'll be waiting.
xoxo Em.

Cece and I headed to the bistro and waited.

"Why are we here?"

I could tell she was getting tired of waiting, since this was the fifth time she asked me. But I wouldn't tell her.

"I'm waiting for someone."

"Ugh please tell me you didn't make me drive you here so you can run off with some boy."

"It's not a boy."

"Ou, a girl. I didn't know that was your ball game Ali." She teased.

" Ew no this girl is on my bad side. I'm getting revenge."

"Now that's my Ali. What did she do?"

"It's nothing important."

"Hm, did she cheat on a test, steal your spot light. Steal your boyfriend?"

I flinched.

"Oh she stole your boyfriend. Do tell."

"Its not a boy, but she is trying to steal someone from me."

"Who?"

"Emily.."

She stared at me. I couldn't make out what she was thinking. All of a sudden a wide grin spread across her face.

"No.." She said. "You don't do you? OMG yes you do! Awwe."

"What the hell are you talking about?"

"YOU LIKE EMILY!"

"Shh! Oh god no. I don't I just. I just.."

I didn't know what was going on with me right about now. I was just so confused.

"Ali, I know you better than you know yourself. I can tell. You like her."

"Whatever. I'll promise to remember that when I get a super hot guy to flaunt around."

I didn't want to talk about Em right now. I just wanted this plan to go in motion.

"So what is the plan, why are we waiting for her here."

"Oh, I sent her a love letter from Emily, saying how bad she wanted her. And that she wants to know if she feels the same way."

"Okay. So why are we HERE?"

"Because I told her she can't reply or text me because my friends are suspicious. So she should leave her note in that sign."

"You go girl!" Cece beamed.

Just then Paige rode by. A green card in her hand. While she was busy putting the card in I got out the car.

"Hey Paige." I said while grabbing the card.

"Hey Al- no no no."

"Hmm do you want me to give this to Emily."

"Why are you doing this?''

"BECAUSE YOU'RE STEALING EMILY AWAY FROM ME!"

I regretted what I said immediately. A smile crept on Paige's face and I knew I was in trouble.

"Oh now, I get it. You like Emily."

"What are you talking about? Why does everyone keep fucking saying that?" I was glaring Paige down.

"Alison DiLaurentis is In love with Emily Fields."

"Shut up Paige!"

"You are jealous that Emily is spending time with me. Don't lie Alison I can tell."

"You don't know what you're talking about."

"Okay, but listen to me Alison. I advise you not to mess with me, or everyone will know about your little crush on Emily."

And with that Paige walked away smiling. I didn't know what to do. I headed back to the car in shock.

"What happened? Did you bust her."

"Just drive."

"Why what happened?"

"JUST DRIVE CECE!"

"Jeez okay whatever."

As soon as Cece dropped me off I headed straight to my room.

Paige had the one thing no one knew about me. I had a crush on Emily.
One thing I do know.

I was not going to let Paige win.
