Emily's POV

It feels weird coming home to an empty house. I know that's how I find my house every time I come back but this time does not feel right.

I watched some movies but unfortunately I picked romantic comedies and that made me feel even lonelier than I was before. I need to find a girlfriend ASAP. I'm not having the best time of my life and all that comes to my mind is Alison and I spending time here. Fighting to see who wins the tickling war.

Stop it Emily! You can't be thinking about her. I'll better get something to eat and go to sleep.

Alison's POV

I came home and it feels so good to be alone. There is no one here to be bugging me, life is good. Spencer sent me a text.

S- "Hi Ali, I have been with Toby all day. We are finally together!!!!!" I can imagine Spencer's face.

A- "OMG! I thought he would never ask" For real, they have been flirting with each other since kinder garden.

S- "I know but that's why I didn't go to classes" I'm surprised Spencer ditched school just for a boy. She must be in love.

A- "Spencer Hastings ditching school for a boy? I need to make a wish right now. Give a moment" I joked.

S- "I mean it's Toby! I would ditch school every day to spend time with him" what tha fuck? I didn't know this side of Spencer.

A- "Who are you? And where is my best friend?" I'm worried because she would never say that.

S- "Ali, I'll talk to you later" What are they doing?

That left me alone again. Now that I think about it I have spent the last 2 days with Ms. Fields. She is the teacher every student wishes to have. I want to go to her house and start a tickling battle but that'll be weird. That kiss we shared last night, the kiss, the kiss, the kiss. Why did I kiss her in the first place? I should have hit her but she forgave me and we are good. My phone started ringing.

"Hey Mona!" I said.

"Ali, have you finished the homework assignments for tomorrow?" She knows I didn't even know we had to do homework.

"What homework sorry?" I didn't pay attention to the classes.

"The English, math, chemistry homework?" Mona said.

"I can't believe those teachers are so selfish they want us to spend our free time doing this shit" I'm mad.

"I thought you liked Ms. Fields" Mona is confused.

"I do but let's be honest they are crossing the line. I won't do it" I'm determined.

"You should Ali, these new teachers won't give you 10s just because you are you" Mona is right.

"Okay. I'll do it" I need those teachers to know they need to give me 10s just because of my name.

"Call me if you need any help" Mona offered to help me because she is as smart as Spencer or even more.

"Thank you. I'll call you later" I said. Of course I'm going to need her help

"Bye" Mona finished.

I started doing the homework assignments after a while I facetimed Mona so she could tell me what to do. She almost did all my homework but this time at least I paid attention. I'm tired. I'll go to bed and peacefully fall asleep.

Emily's POV

Saturday

I didn't even feel Thursday and Friday but I'm glad it's Saturday. This feeling of loneliness hasn't gone away and it'll be nice to go out and meet new people at the gallery and bar.

Maya called me 15 minutes ago to tell me she is on her way to pick me up. I am almost ready. She should be here in any minute.

Speaking of the devil she is calling me right now.

"Hi Maya" I answered my phone. "Okay I'm going out right now" I hung up and left my house.

"Hi Emily. You look beautiful" Maya said when she saw me getting in her car.

"Thank you. You look beautiful too" I said.

"Are you ready?" Maya asked me excited.

"Yes, let's see how the gallery is" I said.

On our way to Ravenswood Maya and I talked about art blah, blah, and blah. We got to town and it seems creepy as hell. It almost looks like it has been taken out of a horror movie but I need to be calm I don't want people thinking I'm crazy.

We got to the gallery and Ezra is already here. Fortunately now that he is with us I feel a little bit better. We checked all the pieces there were in the gallery and spoke to the artists who were Ezra's friends. Everything went great. At 7:30 we got dinner and after we finished we headed to the bar but we decided to go back to Rosewood.

Alison's POV

It is finally Saturday. I don't even want to go to the meet anymore but Aria has to go because of her brother and Mona, well she loves Mike, she is excited to see him swim. They stayed here last night but this morning both of them decided to go to their houses to change clothes and we'll meet at school and Spencer just left.

I arrived at school 'great' and went to the pool area, Aria told me she was going to be there and that is exactly where she is. Mona is with her but she is watching Mike do some laps. I was making my way to them when Sydney appeared out of nowhere.

"Hi Alison, I'm glad you came" Maybe she thinks I came because of her.

"Hi Sydney, I couldn't miss the first swim meet" I said excited. I actually used sarcasm but Sydney wouldn't notice because she loves talking to me.

"Sydney you need to start warming up" the coach told her. 'Yes' now I can join the girls.

"Bye Ali" she said. Why would she call me Ali? Aria, Spencer, Mona and the guys are the only ones who can call me Ali... Ah, and Ms. Fields. Where is she anyway? Shouldn't teachers come to the school events?

"Ali! I thought you wouldn't come" Aria said. She can read my mind because this morning I wasn't excited about the meet.

"I wasn't in the mood but here I am" I told her.

"Mike looks so good" Mona said, she is clearly not paying attention.

"Wake up Mona!" I yelled. I wanted to scare her.

"Woow Ali. No need to yell" Mona said snapping out of her daydream with Mike.

"She needed to do it because you weren't going to stop talking about Mike if she hadn't yelled" Aria defended me.

"You girls know how to crash my daydreams" Mona said.

"Mona why don't you talk to Mike?" I asked her.

"I get nervous when I'm with him" Mona said.

"Want me to help you?" Aria chimed in.

"Yes, please" Mona said getting excited.

"So you guys are ready to party tonight?" I asked them changing the topic because we haven't drunk in a while.

"Totally" They both said in unison.

We took our seats because some people said the swim meet is about to start.

.............................................................

The sharks won the competition. I have to admit Sydney is a good swimmer. The boys' team was about to lose but Mike saved the day. After the meet finished we headed to the bar in my car. We all were singing our hearts out during the car ride. That's why I love spending time with my best friends.
