So hello again guys, sorry it's taken me like forever to update and that but I've been extremely busy with finishing college up properly, then my laptop bloody broke so I lost everything but here is the update that you've been waiting for. I know the story is going a bit slow but I'm trying to flesh them out a bit nowadays. Enjoy & Review.

The rest of the lessons after lunch went by quickly and Spencer found herself not being able to wait until she got back home. She had a serious headache from being around Alison for an hour. She didn't understand how any of the other girls could stand to be around her. She seemed like the type of person that needed to have people around her just so she could have some control over them. Spencer did not like her at all. The bell rang and Spencer quickly packed her things up and walked out of the classroom so that she could start the walk home but shortly after, she heard Emily calling her name down the corridor.

"Spencer! I don't know if you remember, but I brought you here and I'm taking you home unless you want to go to town with us?" She asked sweetly with the same smile that she'd had on her face all day. Spencer liked Emily and she knew that she was inviting her so that she felt welcome and because she probably knew that everyone got on with her.

"I don't want to seem petty but will Alison be there?" Spencer asked her quietly.

"Yes she will be, I guess that means you won't be coming?" Emily asked in reply.

"Normally I wouldn't let people like her bother me but they're your friends and I don't want to cause any trouble"

"Alison can seem like a bit of a bitch sometimes but she means well to her friends. She's going through a tough time lately, her family are going all crazy about stuff and she's being more strange than normal. There's something going on with her that's making her act out even more so you can't really use today as a good representation. I hope you two get along too because I really like you" She continued as she drove along the road towards both of their houses. Spencer nodded in reply and the rest of the drive went by in silence and Emily stopped outside Spencer's house and let her get out.

"You want a lift to school tomorrow? I notice you haven't got a car in that huge drive of yours" She asked with a laugh.

"Yes please, my car is on the way apparently so you shouldn't have to drive me in a few days"

"Shame. Oh well, see you tomorrow Spence" Emily said before turning the car around and driving back towards town to meet her friends. Spencer sighed and opened the door to the huge Hastings home. Emily wasn't lying when she commented on the huge driveway as the entire house was massive, it looked more like a manor compared to the ones in the surrounding area. All of the houses were reasonably sized apart from Spencer's. It had tall fencing around it and an electronic gate that required a key to open, the driveway was large and accommodated only two cars and was waiting for the third and fourth to arrive which belonged to Spencer and her Sister. The house was large and had a rather excessive amount of rooms. Their house in England had been even bigger than this one however so in a way, it was nice to downsize but the garden here was larger as they had several acres which spread all the way down to the next house which was quite far behind.

She dumped her bag by the table in the lounge and flicked on the TV and looked through the American programmes that were on the channels. She wasn't used to any of these shows and in all honesty, she didn't really know any of them or even the names of the channels as she didn't watch much TV back in England as she was always too busy with studying her subjects. Spencer had no homework as of yet and so pulled out the book that they were reading in English and decided that she would read a few pages before her parents were due home.

She only got through ten pages before her mother walked through the front door, asking loudly if anyone was home yet to which Spencer got up and went into the kitchen where her mother was busying herself with making a cup of tea.

"How was school?" Veronica asked her youngest daughter.

"It was good, lessons were alright and there's a few clubs I'm going to join I think and Emily let me meet her friends and they were really cool, well apart from one" She replied with a bitter voice on the last few words.

"Well I'm sure she will grow on you and if not then you have to make sure it's not awkward."

"I am doing, how was work?" Spencer asked.

"It was different to say the least. I had to shadow a case so I could get more used to American court cases and the types of felonies and such. It's hard work." Veronica replied in her own tired voice.

"And I've had a phone call off your father complaining about someone trying to build on the land at the back already and I think he wants to take the DiLaurentis's to court about it." Spencer rolled her eyes, it sounded like her father all over.

"We've been here two minutes mum, can you not do anything about it?"

"Oh Spencer, you know what he gets like!" Veronica replied before both herself and Spencer rolled their eyes at the male Hastings.

Spencer took herself to her room so that she could get changed as she felt like having a run to get the days stress out and maybe pound the pavement whilst thinking that it was Alison's face. She really did not like the girl and she knew it wasn't going to change. She took up a steady jog to warm up before she would get into a full on run, there was nothing better than exercise and to get going to end the day. She ran for forty minutes and had barely worked up a sweat. Spencer was fit and she liked to keep that up but no sign of a sweat meant that she was not trying hard enough. She decided to step it up a notch and go into a faster run. She ran back the way that she came and went past Emily who gave her a smile as she was about to walk into her house and then she noticed a blonde girl up the street whose hair she knew she recognised. She got nearer and noticed that it was a house or two down from her own and recognised her straight away. Alison.

"Why are you outside my house?" Alison asked her with a sneer evident in her voice. How Spencer would love to punch her in the face.

"First, I'm running. Second, I live two houses up. Third, you don't own the street" Spencer replied. She wasn't going to let this bitch win.

"Obviously you're the ones that just moved in. I wouldn't have thought it, I thought you were poor. Not as poor as like Em or something but still..." Her words came to a stop when she heard her phone go off and check it. Alison's face dropped immediately and she quickly went inside her house whilst Spencer stood there with her mouth wide open, not being able to believe what she had just said about her own best friend and Spencer's new friend in the town. Where did she get off talking to her friends like that but at the same time, Spencer was wondering what made her so uncomfortable and made her run inside just because of a text. Alison didn't seem like the sort of person that got pushed around. Spencer thought maybe It was the trouble that Emily mentioned she was going through.

So there you go, Alison has issues? Scary texts? Whatever could this mean?!
