Alison's POV
There's no way in hell I'm going to school today. Last time I played the 'I don't care we kissed' game but a lot has happened since then and I refused to let my baby, I mean Ms. Fields my English teacher see me heartbroken, no, I'm not heartbroken I hadn't fallen in love with her. She sent me a text last night which I didn't reply to. She got home from her date and remembered me. Cool! I'm her second choice, nah thanks. I'll find someone who isn't thinking about anyone else if he/she is with me.
'Ali do you want me to give you a lift?' Spencer texted me. My friends are worried.
'I'm not feeling good. I'll skip school today' I sent a text back.
'I'll check on you later. Take some rest' Wow Spencer didn't scold me for missing classes.
Another reason to love that my parents are 98% of the time out of town. I'll sleep the day away.
Emily's POV
I thought my princess was going to answer my text this morning but she never did. I'll talk to her today about my plan for Friday without giving away too much information. She doesn't need to know what I have planned. I woke up earlier than usual to grade the quizzes and here I am in my classroom falling asleep.
Ali's friends entered the classroom and they all seem annoyed. My princess isn't with them, perhaps she's running late.
"Good morning girls" I told them to break the tension.
"Good morning" the 3 of them mumbled dead serious.
What's wrong with them? I haven't known them long but one thing I'm sure about is that they are most of the time giggling and having fun. Thank goodness some other students came inside the classroom because the 3 girls were about to kill me.
.............................................................
"I hope you guys have a wonderful rest of your day!" I told all my students before they left the classroom. Alison didn't come to the classes. I'm getting a little bit worried. Desperate times call for desperate measures I convinced myself to ask Alison's friends if they knew where she was.
"Spencer, Mona and Aria can you stay for a minute please?" I asked them.
They threw me some dirty glares again. Okay man up Emily! As far as you know you haven't done anything wrong.
"Ms. Fields are you going to talk soon? My mom is waiting for Mona and me" Spencer commented while looking at the door.
"I was wondering if you have seen Alison." I finally let the words out.
"Hmmm... We..." Aria struggled to talk.
"We haven't seen her but she called us this morning to tell us she's sick" Mona covered Aria's nervousness with a lie.
"I wouldn't bother her if I were you" Spencer said with a cold-hearted tone. I gulped. What have I done? Why are they so mad at me? It's obviously something related to my princess but we haven't fought or anything like that.
"Is there something I missed?" I asked genuinely confused.
"No, and we have to go" Mona said walking out of the classroom. Aria froze in her place she clearly wants to tell me something.
"Are you okay?" I asked her.
"Yeah, it's just that, ah" she slurred "we saw you at the brew yesterday and you were very touchy with Ms. Mendoza. The girls and I were going to have a sleepover but Alison called the night and went home by herself".
