"Mystery solved. It's me." - Aria Montgomery
We were still in the mausoleum as we flipped through the journal. "I don't understand. I... I don't recognize any of these names." Spencer says confused.
"Because she changed them. She was changing stories, too. You just have to know the real stories in order to recognize the fake ones." Hanna explains to us.
"Sounds like Ali. The truth bored her." Emily says annoyed.
"So it's like creative non-fiction with pseudonyms?" Spencer asks as she turns to me. "Yeah." I say in agreement.
"I don't know what that means, but sure." Hanna says annoyed.
"Hanna, I can't believe that you held onto this since Ravenswood." Aria says shocked. "We knew that Ali had journals. What's so bad about this one?" I ask confused.
"Because the stories in there, they're... they're personal." Hanna says nervously. "Personal about Ali?" Spencer asks confused.
"About Ali and us. There are things in there that we may not know about each other, and things from the past that we want to forget." Hanna says nervously.
"So you thought you should get to read it, and we don't?" Emily asks confused.
"I just didn't see the point of bringing all that up again." Hanna snaps at her annoyed. "We're supposed to be focused on finding Ali."
"That's not your call to make." Spencer says frustrated.
"I know. I made a mistake!" Hanna snaps back. "And it took you till now to realize that?" Emily asks in disbelief.
"Em, I said I was sorry!" Hanna says annoyed. "Did you?" Emily asks annoyed.
"Okay! Guys... Alright. The most important thing is that we have this now." Aria says as she turns to me. "Okay, Hanna, you said that there are stories in here about Ali. What about Board Shorts or someone else who might have been after her?" I ask as I turn to her.
"There might be. I don't know. I just couldn't put all the pieces together on my own." Hanna admits to us.
"So this is what we do. We each take turns, we'll read out the stories about us and see what's left over." I say as I point to the journal.
"Who goes first?" Spencer asks as she holds up the journal.
"I do." Emily says as she takes it from her.

It was the next day at school when I met up with the girls in the school court yard. "Hey." I greet as I walk over to them.
I sigh as I take a seat next to Emily. "Hey. Is it a page turner?" Spencer asks as she sits down next to us.
"Yesterday I could barely make it through the first story that was about me." Emily admits to us.
