"Hey Mona!" Kara called out, when she saw her in the lunch hall that morning.
"Hey" Mona replied, as Kara pulled her into a tight hug.
"Hanna told me about these messages, are you alright?" Kara inquired.
"Apart from having to do community service because I didn't do what A wanted" Mona explained.
"I'm sorry. You're such a good friend" Kara smiled, putting her hand on her shoulder.
"Thanks" Mona exclaimed, as Mona opened her lunch.
She let out a gasp as she unwrapped her apple and saw there was a message from A that said 'You didn't bite the first time but you will-A'.
"God, Mona…" Kara trailed off, when she showed her the message.
Kara didn't know why but for some reason the handwriting looked slightly familiar, but before she thought too much into it, Hanna came walking over to them.
"Everything okay?" Hanna questioned, as Mona passed her the note.
"Mona, where are you going?" Hanna queried.
"To take the rest of the day off, I'm not going to be a sitting target" Mona explained.
"Hey, just come eat with us" Hanna suggested.
"I'm not sure your friends-" Mona was cut off by Hanna.
"Trust me, they're cool" Hanna insisted.
"Come on. It will be great all of us hanging out" Kara stated.
"Okay" Mona smiled, as the three walked over.
Emily and Aria quickly welcomed Mona, knowing how stressful A could make life.
"Hey, what's going on? What was this A message you guys were talking about?" Kara questioned, walking over to the girls.
Spencer had texted her twenty minutes ago, about a message all the others had received.
"Do Mom and Dad know you're watching murder movies? Bet it would kill them to find out. –A" Spencer replied.
"Wait, why didn't you get the message?" Hanna asked.
"Uh…don't have a mum or dad, remember Hanna?" Kara retorted, as all the girls looked down.
"What? Is there something else?" Kara queried.
"It's just…well there's this father-daughter dance on tonight…" Emily trailed off.
"Father-daughter dance? That's an actual thing?" Kara inquired, raising an eyebrow.
"We thought we should warn you in case…well in case it brings any bad feelings up" Aria explained.
"I'm a big girl, Aria. Not just going to burst into tears over some dance" Kara stated.
"We know. We're just-" Hanna was cut off by Kara.
"I know, I'm sorry. I'm just stressed" Kara sighed.
"I think we all are" Aria announced.
"I'll see you guys later" Kara told them, as she walked to her next lesson.
"Hey" Jason said, as he walked into the living room later that day, but got no reply from Kara.
"Kara, you with me?" He questioned.
"Yep" She replied, staring up at the celling from where she was sitting on the couch.
Jason slowly sat next to her, pulling her legs up to rest on his laps, and took a deep breath. Spencer had called him earlier and told him about the father-daughter dance and that he should talk to her about it.
"Are you alright?" He inquired.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Kara asked, looking at Jason.
"Spencer said something didn't she?" Kara suggested, seeing Jason's guilty look.
"She's worried about you" Jason told her.
"Well she doesn't need to be. I'm fine!" Kara insisted, standing up.
Suddenly she got a text, and rolled her eyes. She was really not in the mood to deal with A today. However, it was an S.O.S from Spencer, asking her to come to the school.
"It's Spencer, I've got to go" Kara announced.
"Do you want me to-" Jason started, but Kara quickly cut him off.
"No, just stay here" Kara retorted, as she walked out the door.
She soon got to the school, seeing all the girls from her school dressed in their pretty dresses with their dads and let out a sigh. She quickly spotted Hanna and approached her.
"Hey what's going on?" Kara asked Hanna.
"Where's your dress?" Mona questioned Hanna, as she walked towards them.
"Where's your mom?" Emily inquired, as all the girls came over.
"Hot on the "A" trail" Hanna told them.
"Um, what does that mean exactly?" Mona queried.
"It means she found the police report that "A" sent you. And she thinks it was sent to me. She gave it to Wilden" Hanna announced.
"Oh, this bad. This is really bad" Kara replied, freaking out.
"Why?" Spencer requested.
"Because she thinks it's a threat" Hanna exclaimed.
"It is!" Emily added.
I don't know, she's just trying to keep us safe" Hanna suggested.
"Yeah, but why Wilden?" Spencer asked.
"Hanna, now your mom and my mom are both asking questions about "A". And "A" really doesn't like that. If they talk to each other-" Aria was cut off by Hanna.
"Or if Wilden comes up with something? What if they end up like…" Hanna trailed off.
"Ju- Um, Okay. We need a creative solution" Spencer stated, not wanting to say anything else in front of Mona, which made Kara roll her eyes.
"Well, I have an idea" Mona announced.
"Okay, Mona" Spencer relied.
"It's gonna require a really big lie and I'm terrible at that" Mona explained.
"No, you're not" Kara stated, remembering all the times she had seen Mona lie with precision.
"Well I'm not that good…which one of you girls is best at hiding the truth from someone who's close to you?" Mona questioned.
"Her" Everyone said, pointing to Aria.
"Wow, really? Thanks, guys…Okay, Mona, what's my lie?" Aria inquired.
It was later that evening and Kara was sitting on a bench outside the school, in deep thought. Aria had gone round to Hanna's, to tell Ms Marin that she was the one who sent Hanna that report because she was trying to scare Hanna into stopping shoplifting. Kara was sure it wouldn't work, because it didn't really sound like something Aria would do. A giggle brought her out of her thoughts, as she saw a girl walking out of the school with her dad, smiling happily. She hated events like this, when everyone had their family around them. She had no one, never had. She lowered her head into her hands, as she started to cry lightly. Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder and looked up to see Jason, sitting next to her. She quickly flung her arms around him, as he pulled her into a tight hug. She hid her face in his neck, as she allowed herself to cry for the first time in a while.
