Question: Which family is your favorite?
"The weekend went to fast" Miranda complained tying her shoes
"I know, I already miss you" Tori admitted yawning as she started getting dressed "But, you're coming up this weekend so we'll see each other soon"
"I don't know if I can wait that long, I miss seeing you, I miss holding you?"
"Is that all you miss?" Tori smiled
"No," Miranda confessed "I miss kissing you"
"What a coincidence, I miss kissing you to"
"Argggg! I have to go" Miranda whined "But I'll see you Saturday"
"Tori!" Mona called "It's time to go"
"Coming Mom"
She ran from her room meeting her mother in the living room her book bag strapped to her shoulder as she pulled her hair into a messy bun.
"Have you seen my.." Tori began
"Kitchen table" Mona interrupted knowing that Tori was searching for her glasses "Ready?"
"Let's go"
"Amy!" Paige yelled "Your gonna be late"
"I'm coming" She said shuffling from her room her brunette hair draped down her back as her hand gripped tightly around her gym bag "Remember parent teacher conferences are tonight!"
"I'll be there"
"What about her?" Amy asked tiptoeing around mentioning Emily knowing that she and Paige were still in a bad place
"She's gonna be there to, I know it's been hard with me and Mom fighting but were not anymore, everything is gonna get back to normal"
"Thank goodness, I was starting to get worried"
"There's nothing to worry about were fine" Paige said rubbing Amy's shoulder lightly
"Promise?"
"I promise, not get your butt to your car or you'll be late" Paige smiled
"I'm going, I'm going"
The school was bustling with students speeding through the hallways each sharing the same look of terror.
"Are you ready for the conferences?" Miranda asked leaning against Jess' locker
"Hell no, I'm still failing math and now I'm on the verge of failing English" Jess whined
"It's gonna be fine, you're going through something and your smart you'll get your grades up"
"Easy for you to say, you're not failing anything"
"Stop complaining, the rest of your grades are still higher than mine"
"They are aren't they" Jess smiled "Son of a bitch" she whispered under her breath watching as Amy approached her
"Jess, Miranda nice to see you girls"
"I wish I could say the same to you" Miranda said glaring angrily at her
"What do you want?"
"Nothing, I just need to get something from a friend's locker" Amy explained
"That's Liam's locker" Jess observed
"I know, I asked if I could keep some of my stuff in it"
"You bitch" Jess almost yelled
"Don't get all testy, I just asked a friend to help me, but just between you and me in a few weeks we won't be just friends. If you know what I mean"
"Bitch!" Jess screamed her voice echoing throughout the hall
"Aww is someone angry?"
"You bet your ass I'm angry, you know for a fact that Liam is with me and yet you need to get your sluty hands all over him"
"What the hell did you just call me?" Amy said pushing Jess against the locker
"Get off of me! You can push me!"
"Why?" Amy asked raising her voice making sure everyone could hear "Is it cause you got yourself knocked up!"
"Amy!" Miranda screamed seeing the shocked looks on the student's faces
"What? Oh was that a secret?" Amy asked sarcastically
"You're a freaking bitch!"
"I swear I didn't know" She smiled
"Well, did you know your slut of a mother cheated"
"What are you talking about?"
"Oh was that a secret?" Jess asked "My bad"
"Jess let's go" Miranda said nervously seeing the rage on Amy's face begin to build "She's not worth it"
"That's right! Walk away slut! Walk away"
"Hello Mrs. Kahn" Ms. Shepard greeted
"Hello" Alison smiled taking a seat near her desk "My husband is going to be late so it's okay if we start without him"
"There's not much to say about Noah, his grades are very high, he was having some trouble in History but he's gotten better, Jessica on the other hand is failing math and close to failing English"
"I know, I've spoken to Jess and she promised me she would bring her grades up"
"Excuse me if I'm out of bounds but rumors have been going around school that Jess is pregnant, and I believe that might be the cause of her poor grades"
"My daughter's personal life is none of your concern and I would appreciate it if you would just focus on her grades"
"Mrs. Fitz, it's not that Ella is doing poorly it's just she seems withdrawn from her peers" Mr. Peter explained
"I understand" Aria admitted "She's been dealing with personal problems and it's taking her sometime to sort through them"
"It's not only that but she has missed almost a month of school"
"I know, the truth is Ella had some trouble with amphetamines and she left to receive help"
"How is she now?"
"She's doing much better, but it's still hard for her to adjust back into her everyday routine"
"Ezra, Emma is having trouble in most of her classes" Mrs. Natalie began "Her grades range between 69 and 53"
"Emma!" Ezra whined leaning his head on his hand "I had no idea"
"I found it unusual, she's normally such a good student but there seems to be something distracting her"
"I think I know what it is" He admitted "Noah!" he whispered to himself
"Amy is a good student her grades are high, and it would seem like she is doing perfectly but Amy has trouble with other students. Over the course of this year she's been in more than three fights"
"Although it may not seem like she is but Amy is a good person, she's been having trouble with bullying and she is just trying to stick up for herself" Paige explained to the teacher
"Your daughter isn't being bullied, she is the bully"
"Amy is not a bully!" Emily said defending her daughter "She can't be"
"I'm sorry to have to tell you this but Amy had been targeting Miranda Rivers, Emma Fitz and particularly Jessica Kahn"
"There's no way"
"I understand that there are problems at home, with your marriage" She let slip out
"I'm sorry, what do you know about that?" Paige asked
"Why would you bring up something like that?" Emily questioned
"I think it's causing Amy stress, her having to carry that weight around her"
"Is this something she talked to you about?"
"No, but there have been rumors around school"
The conferences continued Alison, Aria and Emily each hearing the best and worst about their children, discovering secrets that they had been keeping from them.
"How was it?" Jess asked seeing her mother leave the classroom "How bad did they say Noah was"
"Shut up" Noah warned
"She didn't say anything bad about Noah in fact he's a model student you're the one we talked about most"
"Me?" Jess asked pointing a finger towards herself
"Yes you, why didn't you tell me people were spreading rumors about you?" Alison asked as they walked outside towards their car
"Because they're not, it's not a rumor I am pregnant and now that I think about it I'm actually happy Amy told"
"Amy! Amy Fields? She told the school"
"You didn't know that"
"I swear I'm going to"
"You're not going to do anything" Noah said "There's nothing you can do"
"So?" Emma said "Was it good?"
"Emma you're failing your classes!" Ezra whined angrily
"I've just been having trouble understanding some of the topics"
"That's a lie" Ezra said "Your letting Noah distract you, Emma do I need to remind you that Junior year is the most important year of your.."
"High school career" Emma finished "I know" she rolled her eyes storming outside
"Amy!" Emily said moving quickly from the classroom "What the hell is the teacher talking about when she said you've been bullying people!"
"I…" she stuttered
"Forget that" Paige interrupted "What was she talking about when she mentioned problems at home"
"I…" She said again not able to get the words to escape her mouth
"Come on Mom this is my favorite song please turn it up!" Tori begged
"I can't believe you listen to this garbage" Mona laughed reaching for the volume
"Mom watch out!" Tori yelled watching as the car swerved into the opposite lane "Mom!"
Sirens flashed through the dark street as emergency vehicles crowded around the devastating scene.
"One possible survivor, one D.O.A" He explained examining the crash "We need immediate attention"
"Help…" she whispered the simple word sending pain throughout her body "Help…."
