Aria's POV:

I slept over at Ezra's. I don't care what my parents say, they can ground me but they can't keep me away from the man I love.

As much as I don't want to leave at four o'clock in the morning I kissed Ezra's cheek and left the house.

I know better than to go to my house so I parked my car in the woods and went to Spencer's. I started climbing into Spencer's house through her bedroom window when I was nine and she was eight. There's a ladder at the side of the house that I can climb up.

Spencer woke up when I closed the window. "Aria what the hell I thought someone was breaking in!" she whispered as she turned her light on

"Are your parents home?" I asked

"No they got surprise court dates out of town tomorrow so they left at like ten. Not that wanted them to be here right now, my dad walked in on Toby and I making out-that doesn't matter what're you doing here so late?"

"I slept over at Ezra's. We're not over" I said

"I'd smile if I wasn't so tired. You can borrow one of my shirts" Spencer said as she got up

I smiled and put my purse down before taking my shoes off. "You know you're my favorite right?"

"The bond of Sparia cannot be broken" Spencer said as she handed me a big t-shirt from her closet. I put it on before getting into her bed next to her

"Thanks for saving me Spence. I really owe you one"

"Aria you know I wouldn't just leave you outside"

Spencer's POV:

FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL:

"You ready for senior year champ?" Dad asked me when I came downstairs "Yes I am. Thank you" I said when he handed me a cup of coffee

"What're you doing after school. If you're free we could go over some of your SAT stuff"

"My friends and I wanted to hang out after school and I'm taking the practice SAT soon anyway"

"Don't you think that because its senior year you should give the hanging out a break?" Mom asked as she came downstairs

"Mom all I did this summer was study I'm fine. If I start to have trouble I won't hang out I promise' I said

"Alright you have fun. Drive safely" she said before kissing my cheek "I love you"

"Love you too. Love you Dad"

"I love you champ. Call me if you need me and Maria is setting up Emily's room for her so she'll be ready for tonight" he said

"Okay" I said

I drove to school and smiled when I saw Toby waiting for me. "Ready for the first day?" Toby asked me as I got out my car

"I really don't know" I said before kissing him

"My Spencer isn't as competitive this year?"

"There's no one to compete against" I said as we walked inside

"Oh she's back" he said "Oh there's Emily and Ali- I mean Maya"

I turned my head towards where Toby was looking and saw that Emily is indeed talking to Maya. I wonder how Alison feels about this.

"Hey" Aria said as she walked over with Hanna and Caleb "What class do you have first? I have French two. Toby you do too right?"

"Yep"

"I don't have to take a class because I finished language but until they approve my independent study I'm in French native" I said

"I have Spanish with Emily" Hanna said

"I'm taking German" Caleb said

"Where's Ali?" I asked

"She got the principal to believe she learns better by herself so she's at home studying Spanish" Hanna said

"Well I guess we should go to class" I said when the bell rang

"I'll see you after lunch I have to help Jenna with her paper" Toby said before kissing me

Emily's POV:

I really thought senior year would be challenging but its fun. This year is going to be a nice break. I haven't seen Ali all day we haven't had any classes together. I've been considering trying out for the swim team again, I got out of it when I was starting to not do well in a few classes so I stopped.

"Hey" Maya said as she walked out of Spanish "I just saw a flyer for this" she said holding up a flyer for the swim team tryout "I'm thinking of trying out. Are you still on the team?"

"No but I want to be" I said as we walked to the cafeteria

The girls are sitting outside with their food Maya and I got food before joining them. I sat in between Maya and Ali.

"Hey you" Ali said before kissing me "Did you miss me?"

"Yeah why don't you just take language here?" I asked

"Because the teacher calls on me and I usually don't know. I'd like to save myself from all humiliation" she said

"Has anyone noticed that school really won't be hard this year?" Aria asked

"Oh yeah. I'm looking forward to it" Spencer said "Junior year was hard"

"Emily I'll give you the keys to my house after school I won't be at the house. I'm helping Toby with his college essay" Spencer said

"Okay"

"Oh do you think you could read mine?" Maya asked Spencer

"Sure" I said

"Yeah can you read mine I'm desperate" Hanna said

"Han I just read yours" Spencer said as she got up "I have English next period I should get my stuff"

"Me too" Alison said as she got up "You do too right Emily?"

"Yeah I'll catch up with you I'm just going to finish eating"

Alison's face changed but she nodded and walked away. I'll have to talk to her after school.

"She's mad at you" Maya said

"She's always mad at me. I'll make it up to her" I said

"Maybe we should hang out less just so she won't assume anything"

"No I don't want that. I'll talk to her"

Hanna's POV:

Caleb's at my house doing homework. We're in my room. "You know I really thought this year we'd get less homework" I said as I opened my laptop.

"Nope its not that easy" Caleb said "Where's Alison?"

"Next door helping Emily unpack. She always has free time. We can't ever have fun like that"

"We have fun. Its just more of a productive fun"

"I want us to have fun like them" I said as I put my laptop aside and sat down on his lap

Caleb pulled me into a kiss as I wrapped my arms around his neck. "I love you" Caleb said

"I love you too" I said "But really can we please just do this tomorrow during lunch?"

"Hanna you're going to thank me for being such a fantastic and productive boyfriend when you're the most famous fashion designer in America"

Alison's POV:

Spencer's still not home yet so I'm staying with Emily. I want to talk to her about Maya.

"I heard Maya's joining the swim team" I said as I sat on her bed next to her

"Yes she is" Emily said

"Are you?" I asked as I put her hair behind her ear

"Yes" she said not looking at me "If I want to get into Danby or any good swim school for a chance of a scholarship I need to get back on the team"

"I just don't like how close you two already are. I think she has a crush on you"

"But she knows I'm not with you. I don't want Maya I want you" she said before pulling me close "Don't you believe me?"

"Of course I'm just insecure when it comes to you. Everyone wants you. Boys and girls"

"Ali you're not listening to me you're the only one I want" she said looking straight into my eyes

I smiled "I love you" I said before giving her hug "I really really do love you"

"I love you too" Emily said

Spencer's POV:

Its getting late and I'm still at Toby's. I really don't want to leave but I don't want to be rude to Emily.

"Okay Toby the paper is perfect" I said as I got off his lap "I'll see you later"

"Leaving already?" Toby asked as he got up and gave me hug

"I don't want to be rude to Em. Ali must've gone home by now"

"Spence she lives right next door" Toby said

"Good point but I should go I didn't get a lot of sleep last night" I said before I pecked his lips "I love you"

"I love you too" Toby said before opening his apartment door for me

I sighed when I saw Melissa's car in the driveway. She might be with Mom and Dad. If they found out Emily was here without me her first night they'd take my phone away.

When I opened the door Melissa was sitting at the island, Malia who's sleeping is on the couch. She looks like she's been crying.

"Emily' s next door doing homework with Alison and she should be back in like ten minutes" she sniffed

"Jason and I broke up"
