Hanna, Mona and I were at the corridor. I spotted Aria walking out of the classroom and I saw Ezra there. "Okay, I am all for boob jobs, but when I see those, I want to "moo."," Mona said, pointing at some girl. The three of us chuckled. "I spy a Sean."
Hanna and I turned around and saw Sean walking up. "I'll see you two at lunch," Hanna said with a smile and she walked off to him. I looked at Mona. "See you at lunch, Mon," I said with a smile. She smiled. "See you, Ames,"
Then I walked over to Emily to see her and Ben talking. Ben gave her a kiss on the cheek and then saw me walking over to them. "Hey, Ames," He said with a smile. I smiled back and he walked off.
I smirked at Emily. "So?" I asked as I spotted her looking somewhere else. She looked at me. "Hah?" She asked. I smirked. "What are you looking at?" I asked and looked over my shoulder to see three girls talking.
I frowned and Emily tapped my shoulder. "It's nothing," She reassured and I looked back at her, still frowning. "Doesn't look like it," I said. She was about to say something but she was cut off. "Will the following students please come to the office: Emily Fields, Aria Montgomery, Spencer Hastings, Hanna and Amy Marin."
The hallway started to get empty as Emily and I gathered together with my sister, Aria and Spencer. Then, Aria's phone rang and she pulled it out. "Wait," She said and we stopped. "It's from "A.""
Hanna, stood beside Aria and read the text. ""Dead Girls Walking."" We all looked at each other and then walked to the office.
At the office, I sat between Spencer and Em. We were talking to that Cop again. "So let's see ..." He said, looking at a file. Then he looked at us and pointed at Spencer, "You thought you heard her scream." Spencer gave a small nod. "I-I said that, yeah."
"And when you four woke up in the barn, Alison was gone, and so was Spencer," The cop said. "Yes, I woke up before them, And I realized that Ali was missing, so-" He cut Spencer off. "So you went looking for her."
"That's what happened," Spencer agreed. "I got that," He said. "So, what's up? Was this a slumber party, or ...?"
"Is this an interrogation?" Spencer asked. "No, just a routine follow-up," The cop replied and then he looked at all of us. "Why did you guys all fall asleep?" He asked. "Um, I guess we were tired," I spoke up. "Tired? Really," The cop said. He looked at my sister. "Is that how you remember it, Hanna?"
Han nodded. "Yeah," She agreed. "Yeah, you guys were tired," He said and he looked at the files. "Look, we've told you everything we know, just like we did the night she went missing," Spencer said. "I know, and you see, the thing is, it's almost exactly what you said last year - Almost like it was rehearsed," The cop said.
"Like Spencer said, we've told you everything we know," Aria said. "Can we go now?" I asked. The cop looked at all of us before looking at me and nodded. "Sure."
... ...
At the canteen, me and the girls sat together. I saw between Aria and Spence and across Han and Em. "He knows we're lying," I said. "Lying is not a crime," Han said. "It is when you're giving false statements to the police," Spence said. "It's called obstruction of justice."
"Oh, please. We lied about drinking. But the truth that matters is we don't know anything about what happened to Ali that night," Han said. "We also know about someone who might have wanted to hurt her," Spence said.
"We should have told the police the truth about Jenna's accident the night it happened," Em said. "I wanted to, remember?" Han said. "We had a chance to do more than just tell the truth. We had a chance to stop Ali," Aria said.
"Ali wasn't the one that did that to Jenna. Remember?" I said and the girls gave me a sad look. Aria put her hand on my shoulder. "It wasn't your fault." The others nodded in agreement.
"And telling the police now about what happened to Jenna isn't going to make her see again. It'll just ruin our lives," Spence said as she put her hand on my other shoulder.
There was a cane tapping. "Oh, my god, she's back in school too?" Han asked and we all saw Jenna. Aria looked at us and then stood up and walked over to Jenna. "Jenna? Hey, it's- it's Aria. Do you ... Want to come sit with us?" Aria asked. "Sure," Jenna said. "Okay," Aria said. "Thank you," Jenna said as Aria helped her over.
"So you're gonna be between Hanna and Emily, And Spencer's and Amy's right across from you," Aria said. "Thank you," Jenna said. "Yeah. And here's a chair," Aria said as she gave her a chair. "So ..." Jenna started as Aria walked back to her seat. "This would be Alison's chair, right?" Jenna asked as she sat down.
"No. We're not even sitting at that table," Em replied. "You know, she came to visit me in the hospital after the accident," Jenna said. "Alison did?" I asked, shock and Aria and I exchanged look.
"Mm-hm. Everyone misunderstood Alison, but I knew exactly who she was," Jenna said. "When did you get back, Jenna? We heard that you were in Philadelphia, a school for the ... Visually impaired," Spence said. "You can say "blind," Spencer. It's okay. It's not a dirty word," Jenna said and she took a sip from her drink.
We all remained silent. "Wow. It's so quiet. You guys used to be the fun table," Jenna said and took another sip. "What happened to you girls?" She asked and chuckled slightly.
Flashback
We were at Alison's bedroom, there were clothes everywhere and we all laughed as we tried clothes. "Ames, tire this," Ali said as she hold to me a pink tank top. I smiled and tried it on. "It's so cute," Aria said. "You can have it if you want," Ali said, smiling. "Thanks Ali," I said.
Ali tried a shirt on and looked at the mirror beside me and smiled. But Ali's smile fell and she rushed to the window, "I see you!" We all walked over to her. She turned around to look at us. "Oh, my god, I can't believe it!"
"Who was it, Ali? What did you see?" Em asked. "He was in that tree, spying on us! I am so creeped out!" Ali said. "Who was it?" Spence asked. "It was that perv, Toby Cavanaugh," Ali replied.
"Are you sure?" Aria asked. "Yes, I'm sure! He was right there! I bet he saw us all naked," Ali said. "Should we tell someone?" I asked. "I mean, we could," She agreed but then smirked. "But I have a better idea."
We got outside. There were Fireworks heard as we got to Toby's house. "Are we sure he's not in there?" Aria asked. "He's not, okay? You've got the lighter, right, Spencer?" Ali asked. "Let's wait a second," Em said. "What, Emily?" Ali asked. "I don't want to do this," Em said.
"Fine. Go back. You're on your own," Ali said. "Okay, maybe Emily's right. We should just call the cops. They'll take care of it," Aria said. "Where's the fun in that?" Ali asked and looked at us.
"Girls, Toby Cavanaugh is a freak, and we need to teach him a lesson," Ali started. "If he thinks he can come and spy on us while we're in your bedroom, Emily, he needs to know that his little domain Is no longer a safe little hideout. Who knows what he does in there all day, that little freak."
"Are you sure?" I asked. "Yes, don't worry. Come on," Ali said and took my hand. "Wait, your not going to ask her to do it, right?" Han asked. "I am," Ali replied. "Are you sure that it was Toby?" Spence asked.
"Yes! And it's a stink bomb, for God's sakes! We're not nuking the place," Ali snapped and we both walked to the back door. Ali looked at Spence. "Give me the lighter."
Spence gave Ali the lighter. She looked at me. "Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen," She promised. I nodded and Ali gave me the lighter and the stink bomb. I lighted it and throw it in Toby's place so that it explode.
I closed the door and Ali grabbed my hand. "Come on, let's get out of here," She said to all of us. We all ran away.
Then, there was explosion and we turned around and saw the place on fire. "Oh my god," I said. "We got to get out of here," Aria said. "Come on," Ali said and we all ran away.
Our phones rang and we looked at each other. Jenna grabbed my phone and hold it to me. "Aren't you gonna get that?" She asked. I took my phone as the others took their. I read the text message;
If only she could see how guilty you look...
-A
We all exchanged looks. And then I got another text message.
Especially you Amy.
-A
I froze and Aria and Spence looked at the text.
