Hey guys! Sorry I didn't update yesterday. I was planning on writing the next chapter but then sometime around 4pm I started getting weak and my body was aching. It was all of the symptoms of me having a fever without the actual fever, so I went to bed way earlier than I usually do. About 7 hours earlier. Anyways I hope you guys think this chapter is okay! I'm going to continue with Emily's POV for this chapter at least.

I pinched the hem of my shirt. Ali was watching me with furled eyebrows. I began to slowly pull up my shirt about an inch before Ali spoke to me.

"Has it been so long that you don't feel comfortable with me watching? Fine, i'll turn around," she sighed as she turned around, facing my TV that I had turned off when she first texted me. She turned it back on.

I quickly slipped off my shirt and my shorts to put on the dress. "Okay, turn back around."

Ali twirled back to face me. Her eyes glided down my body as she examined the dress on my figure. The corners of her mouth rose and tightened as if she was holding back a big smile. I couldn't help but get nervous. I crossed my arms to hide my body in defense. Ali stepped towards me with her smile still on her face. She lifted her arms and took hold of the straps on the dress. Her eyes landed on mine. I forced my eyes away and focused them on the TV.

"Anything good on?"

I guess she noticed. She reached her arm around me and grabbed the leather jacket that the took off and draped it on my shoulder. She then brushed the hair out from under it and brought it to the front.

"I was right. It looked so hot on you. Everyone's going to be jealous."

"Who's everyone?"

"Everyone at Noel's party. Did I forget to tell you? It's next week and this is what you're going to wear. He said to dress really nice because his new girlfriend is visiting."

"Yeah, you did forget." I still wasn't looking at her.

"Sorry about that. I guess i've just been distracted. Will you come with me? I've invited everyone else. Even Spencer if she ever decides to like me again."

"She will."

"Well, enough about that. Do you have anything to eat? I'm starving."

"Uh I can go grab some junk food. Candy, chips."

"Perfect. My dad keeps feeding me everything healthy so I can 'keep my energy', but it just makes me crave everything bad for you."

"Yeah, i'll just take this off and go downstairs." I hid myself behind the closet door and changed into a shirt and a pair of shorts. I finally calmed down after going downstairs and grabbing every piece of junk food I could find. My arms were full when I reached the top of the stairs. Ali came to help me put it down on my bedside table.

She let her arms fall to her side, "Where should we start?"

"Hey, Aria. Do you have those notes for English? You're the one person I know who can decipher Shakespeare," I asked.

"Yeah you can borrow them, but you're not going to really understand the text just from my notes. We can study together though."

It was just after English class with Aria, Spencer, and Hanna. Alison wasn't there because of a guidance counselor meeting.

Hanna jumped into the conversation, "do you mind if I come to study too? I don't get it either".

"Why don't we all just come and study at my place. My parents are having friends over but we can study in my room," Spencer had walked over after hearing us talk.

"Sure, that sounds good. So after school we go to Spencer's. Should we invite Ali?" Hanna asked.

I didn't want to put Ali through the same thing she went through with Spencer the other day so I tried to get her out of going. "Trust me, Alison know this stuff. She was always good with words."

"Okay, that's fine. I'll see you guys after school," Spencer walked away.

"Yeah, later, Em," Aria and Hanna left.

Everyone was at Spencer's house now. Her family was talking to some neighbors down the street so we went to her room. It was very clean and it always has plenty of room for the 4 of us. Even 5 of us if Ali were here.

"Okay I don't understand what half of these words even are. All Shakespeare did was add a few lets to the end of some words and it completely changed them and I don't understand it," Hanna complained. "I think I need a drink."

"You know, I think you're just trying to get out of actually working. You're not even trying to understand it," Aria closed her book. It was full of old plays written during the Elizabethan era.

"All i'm saying is I need a soda."

Hanna stood up to gather some drinks for the 4 of us. I was in her way so I stood up too. I sat down on the edge of Spencer's window. I could see Alison sitting on her bed from her window.

"I forgot that your house has a clear view right into Ali's," I said to Spencer.

"Oh, yeah you can."

"She reading the same play we are right now. Maybe we should have invited her, but I don't think you would have liked that much, Spence. You haven't been the warmest host."

"She's right, Spencer. You haven't been to welcoming to Ali. She's been through a lot and hasn't done anything to you since she got back but you've been treating her like some rodent who has infiltrated your home," Aria stood up.

"I know, guys. I'm just having a hard time accepting that she's changed. For the longest time she treated us poorly. I don't trust her yet."

"Well, I do," I said. I didn't really expect myself to say it. I'm not even sure if I meant it, but watching her sit there reminded me that not everything has changed. "She has changed. She is different and she will prove it to you." Maybe I was the one who wanted it to be true. Maybe I wanted her to prove it to me, but one this was for sure.

I still had feelings for her.

And that's chapter 4! I'm so sorry that I don't edit my work after I'm done. I have this sort of anxiety thing I guess where I panic if I have to look over what I've done. I do some acting in my film class and I have to leave the room to even watch myself act even though people tell me it was good. My own work scares me so I'm sorry if there's any typos! Anyways it's 9pm here and it's still 6 hours until I usually go to sleep but because of last night I feel tired right now. I'm going to try to stay up late again. What can I say, I enjoy the late night hours.

See you later!
