Chapter Five- Welcome to the A Game

Previously

"This A person is this who outed me?" She asks gently lifting Emily's head to look her in the eyes.

"Yes." Emily whispers staring into Mona's eyes.

The other three liars and Toby stand their quietly; Mona smiles slightly and leans forward kissing Emily gently on the lips. Emily is quick to respond wrapping her arms around Mona.

Suddenly all of the phones in the bathroom went off with one message.

'Looks like I have more people to play with. –A'

Emily pulls away from Mona before everyone looks down at their phones; gasping in shock they look at each other. Emily looks towards Mona an apologetic expression on her face.

"Maybe we shouldn't have told you." The swimmer whispers looking at the girl she is in love with.

Mona shares a look with Toby before looking at Emily, "Stop it. I am glad you told me. This A person can't hurt any of us. Okay?"

The four liars look at each other seeming to have a silent conversation; Spencer doing her usual head tilts. Mona and Toby stare at them waiting for something; what they don't know.

"This A person, he/she/it/they whatever, has hurt us before." Hanna finally speaks up her blue eyes are wide with the intensity of what is going on.

"Hang on, what do you mean this person has hurt you before?" Mona asks quickly her eyes locked on Emily.

"Oh you know just the usual; attacking someone, locking someone in a barn with fumes, running someone over with a car, and the usual threat of killing them." Emily replies casually avoiding looking at Mona.

"WHAT!?" Both Toby and Mona shout looking at the girls.

Aria nods silently before looking at her phone, "Um… We should probably go we missed first and it's now time for second."

"Shit! You mean I missed my test in Russian History!?" Spencer says suddenly freaking out.

"Uh yeah.. We should go." The only blonde in the group says before rushing out of the bathroom with the others following.

Emily rushes out after Hanna before they head to Mr. Fitz's English class, the entire group sighs in relief as they reach the class before the late bell rings. Taking their usual seats except now having Mona and Toby sitting with them, the four liars wait patiently for the class to begin. They all try to ignore the stares their class mates are giving them. Mona ignoring the wolf whistles she receives now that everyone knows her secret.

"Alright class today we will be talking about an assignment I want you to have completed before the end of the week." Mr. Fitz says as he writes down the assignment on the chalk board.

Pick one famous poem and in your own words describe how this relates to you. Must be at least; ten sentences.

Aria grins because this is something she told Ezra she wanted to do. Looking at her friends to make sure they aren't watching her she quickly writes down the poem she will be doing; Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein.

Emily sighs not knowing which poem to do two of them having the most meaning to her; Fire and Ice by Robert Frost and Raven by Edgar Allen Poe. Looking towards the front she smiles at Mona who had looked back at her.

Mona smiles softly at Emily already knowing the poem she is going to be doing; Phenomenal Woman by Maya Angelou.

Pulling out her notebook Hanna starts to doodle trying to remember that poem her mother once mentioned loving. It was a poem her mom read to her often when she was younger and sometimes even now. 'Oh I know it now!' She thinks happily before writing down the name of the poem; All the World's a Stage by William Shakespeare.

Spencer automatically raises her hand and looks at Mr. Fitz. When he acknowledges her she is quick to speak, "Can it be any poem?"

"Ah Ms. Hastings, that is a really good question. It can be any poem that has meaning to you. As, long as it is not words from a song or a rap." Mr. Fitz replies smiling, Spencer was one of his best students and was best friends with his girlfriend.

Grinning Spencer quickly writes down the name of the Poem she is going to use; The Broken Heart by William Barnes.

Toby thought for a few minutes, what poem meant something to him? There were just too many for him to pick from. Pulling out his notebook he wrote down a few that he liked before crossing some out. Finally he was down to just one poem; I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelo.

Ezra continues talking about the project until the bell rings signaling the class has ended, "Alright get these to me by Friday!" He calls as the students start leaving.

Noel Kahn smirked as he walked up to Mona, "So, you like the female body eh? It's a shame, I was hoping to show you a good time."

Scoffing Mona just turns away and continues packing her bag not seeing the jealous look on Emily's face. 'How dare this prick talk to me like that!? I mean yeah I'm hot but still!' She thinks to herself.

"Come on Mona we would be a power couple at this school. I mean I'm hot and you're hot, just think about how hot we would be together." Noel continues trying to get the girl's attention.

Walking over to Mona and wrapping an arm around her waist Emily glares at Noel. "She's not interested." She grounds out.

Mona grins and leans into Emily after she finishes packing up her things; Noel goes to say something only to stop when Toby and the other three liars walk over. Sighing he leaves the room quickly chasing after another girl.

"Han have you talked to Caleb recently?" Mona asks as they exit the classroom heading to their next class.

"He's been so busy in California that I didn't want to bother him." The blonde says looking down.

Everyone parted ways heading to their next class; when the end of the day came they all met up on the front steps. Emily walks over to Mona and smiles nervously.

"I was wondering if… If maybe we could go on a date on Friday?" She asks rubbing her arm nervously.

Mona grins and kisses Emily before answering, "Of course we can!"

Grinning Emily walks Mona over to her car and kisses her one last time before walking over to the other girls as Toby gets into his pickup waving goodbye to them.

"It feels nice to have more people on our side." Aria says as they head to their cars smiling towards Ezra from across the parking lot.

Hanna nods in agreement, "Yeah, I mean like now it won't just be us. "

Spencer laughs, shaking her head in amusement, "Anyways, my mom said I can go to the lake house this weekend so if you girls want to go we will be there from Saturday until next Friday since school is closed."

"I'm in." The girls all say simultaneously.

"Oh. I'm inviting Mona, Toby, and Mr. Fitz." Spencer says before getting in her car.

The other three girls smile before getting into their own cars.

Meanwhile across town.

Someone in all black grins and opens the door to their lair allowing a young boy into the room. Lucas Gottesman smiles back at the person in all black.

"I did as you asked, the whole school now knows about Mona. What's the next step?" He asks entering the lair.

The person in all black just continues to grin before handing Lucas his own A attire. "Welcome to the A team."

Three other people walk over and welcome him to the team; Ian Thomas, CeCe Drake, and the most shocking of all Melissa Hastings.

"Melissa did you get your mother to agree about the lake house?" The person in all black asks.

"Yes, they will be leaving Saturday and staying until next Friday." Melissa replies with a grin.

"Good. That is good. Now we can put this plan into place." Is all that is said before they begin working on the next phase of their plan.
