Pretty Little Liars- What Happened Before

Manipulative

I stare at the pancakes my mom made.

"What? No syrup?" I ask. My mom gives me a glare. I smiled at her and she looks pretty mad.

"Listen, princess! You might be the ruler of your kingdom while you're at school but when you're at home you're no longer the ruler of your little kingdom, you're in my kingdom. So I think you should tone it down and get your own friggin' syrup! I make you breakfast, I spoil you, but you're in high school now," my mom roars.

"Oh mother, in high school they will be bowing down to me! You had your time. They'll get me anything I wish. Getting upset over syrup? Why, that's low, isn't it mother?" I say back, in a very gentle tone.

"Oh that's it Alison! I promise you, keep your tone up and you won't be ruling anything. Maybe juvi! As your mother, I can make anything happen as long as you're living under my roof! Keep dreaming princess. But you're gonna be a joke in high school," she whispers back.

"That's it Alison DeLaurentis! After school I expect you right home! And if you disobey me, you will suffer. I promse you," she screams.

"I'm sorry Alison, you're right I shouldn't get upset over some stupid syrup," she said.

That's right mom! I have won again.

"Just forget we have had this conversation. You do whatever you want after school, go to a sleepover if you meet someone. Just make sure to have fun," she says.

I finish my pancakes and run up to my room and get accessorized. I spray on some Coco Chanel perfume.  I smile on my way back downstairs and put on my flipflops. I quickly grab my leather purse and say goodbye to my mom. She smiles at me and once I hop on the bus I see tears in her eyes.

"Bye ma!" I yell.

"Goodbye Alison!" she yells back.

As I entered the bus I saw my mom close the door and start crying. I rolled my eyes
