Alison's POV
I'm trying to think a way to forget what happened but it is almost impossible.
"So I found out why we have 2 new teachers instead of just one" Mona said.
"Why?" I simply asked. Not really caring.
"Mr. Thompson retired in the last minute and principal Hackett had to ask Ms. St. Germain if she could come and teach math" Mona answered.
"I loved Mr. Thompson" Aria is pretending to sob.
"We all did" I said remembering I always had 10 in his exams without even studying. I was clearly his favorite
I'm not feeling good. I'll better go.
"Girls I'm heading to the classroom right now" I stood up and was about to leave but Aria stopped me.
"Why are you leaving this early?" We generally leave after the first bell.
"Because I don't want to get detention again" I lied.
"We can leave when the first bell rings" Mona knows the rules.
"No, it's okay I'll leave now" I walked inside school... Sydney saw me and obviously she had to talk to me.
"Hey Alison how are you?" I hope she doesn't think I will be her best friend just because I invited her to have lunch with me yesterday.
"Hi Sydney, I'm doing great. How are you?" I want to make her feel important because I need her to keep doing some favors. I know she would do them anyway but why not?
"I am so happy" she said. Maybe she thinks I'll invite her to have lunch with us again.
"Why is that?" I asked with an exciting tone, of course I don't care.
"Because I got accepted in the swim team" At least she is not that creepy.
"Congratulations!" I said faking a smile and hugging her.
But this talk with Sydney can't make the bad memories go away. I hate this feeling.
"Thank you" she said.
"You deserve it" I said, although I don't even know if Sydney can swim.
"Are you coming to the meet on Saturday?" She asked me.
"We'll see" Maybe I can come, maybe not I just want to spend as much time as I can outside of my house.
"You should come there will be some hot guys" Sydney said with a 'you can get any guy you want' tone.
"I'll think about it but I have to go to my classroom. See ya!" I said walking away.
"Have a nice day" Sydney almost yell just to make sure I could listen.
I was about to enter my classroom when I saw that Ms. Fields is hugging the other new teacher. That's weird I mean unless they are together. I'll just wait outside and check my phone while listening to music to kill time. After a couple of minutes the first bell rang and the new teacher came out.
I walked inside and started typing a message to my friends 'What are you guys doing on Saturday?' I hit send.
Mona- 'I think you are about to tell us. What do you have in mind?' I guess we could come to the meet and then crash a bar that's the reason why I love fake IDs.
Spencer- 'I'm going out with Toby' we lost one of us.
Aria- 'I'm in, not all of us have boyfriends we can spend Saturdays with' Do I smell jealousy?
I was about to reply to my best friends when Ms. Fields came to my desk.
"Hey Alison! Did you come early to the classroom because you don't want to have detention?" Ms. Fields joked. I like her sense of humor.
"Yes, I don't want to spend more time in hell" I told her.
"I see you love school" she said.
"I do" the sarcasm in those 2 words was huge.
The second bell rang Ms. Fields walked away. I couldn't send the text to my friends but the good thing is that we all have English. Spencer is late, this is once in a lifetime opportunity to live. She came running.
"Wow Spence. Who is following you?" I made fun of her.
"Shut up Ali! I was having one of the best conversations with Toby that I forgot the time" She said exhausted.
"I already noticed" I said Im not going to stop making fun of her.
Aria and Mona came inside and went to their seats.
"So Ali, what are our plans for Saturday?" Aria asked.
"Yes Ali you kinda forgot to replay" Mona said.
"Oh yeah! Sorry about that Ms. Fields came to talk to me. Anyway I was thinking we can come to the meet on Saturday and then crash a bar" I told them
"Well the meet sounds lame" Mona the popular ass said.
"What if I told you Mike is going to be there?" Aria is smirking because she knows Mona will totally say yes.
"What?" Mona asked surprised but excited
"Don't play dumb Mona we all know you like Mike"I told her because she can't hide her 'I'm in love face' that well.
"Yes, Mona you are pretty obvious every time we go to Aria's" Spencer said.
"Okay, so we are coming to the meet and then to a bar" Mona is trying to change the topic.
"Yes" I said.
"That'll be great" Aria said.
"It's a shame you are going to miss it Spence" I want her to come.
"I can go another time" She is hard to convince.
"I hope you don't forget about your friends when Toby and you become official" Mona is on my side.
Aria was about to say something but Ms. Fields started talking.
"Today we are going to discuss about 'Oliver Twist'. Have you guys read the book?" Ms. Fields questioned.
"I haven't read the book but I watched the Movie" Ben said.
"Close enough" Ms. Fields didn't like the joke.
"I have" Spencer said. Obviously she is the smart ass.
"Who else has read the book or watched the movie?" Ms. Fields asked no one answered. I'm surprised that Mona didn't raise her hand.
"Well let me tell you Oliver Twist was written by Charles Dickens and it is a story about an orphan kid. Since the day he was born his destiny was to be poor. Unfortunately his mom died after giving birth to him. Oliver was sent to a house where a 'lovely' lady, actually she was not lovely at all, took 'good' care of him till he was nine years old. The day of his ninth birthday Mr. Dumble went to pick him up and he took the little Oliver to the place where the other poor people lived. Living there Oliver was physically abused. Mr. Dumble thought Oliver was his toy and punched him as a boxing bag every time he wanted".
When Ms. Fields mentioned Mr. Dumble punched Oliver the memories came again and I can't stand them anymore.
"Ms. Fields can I go to the restroom?" I raised my hand. I want to get out of here as soon as possible I had never felt so humiliated until my dad slapped me.
"Yes, you can go" She said.
"Thank you" I said getting up ready to leave school. I got out the classroom and took deep breaths. I can't let this happen I am Alison Dilaurentis and not even my dad can make me feel this way.
Before leaving school I sent a text to Spencer letting her know I wasn't going back that meant she had to take my things with her.
