Teasing and Understanding

Aria set her phone down on her nightstand and laid down for bed. Tanner had given her and Ezra their phones back and sent them off. They both knew it wasn't over, but for tonight, they were safe. Aria closed her eyes and thought about when she smiled at Ezra, but he looked away from her. She hoped that nothing changed between them. As she laid down, her phone buzzed on her nightstand. Aria sat up and picked up her phone.

Unknown: You're welcome

Aria wondered who was texting her and why they said "You're welcome" like they did her a favor. Another text came in.

Unknown: Breaking police firewalls and wiping phones aren't easy, tell Hanna she owes me more than just dinner for that

Aria sighed in relief. It's was only Caleb. All of her contacts we're erased. She'd fix it tomorrow.

Aria: Thanks Caleb, I'll let Han know

Aria put the unknown contact as "Caleb" and set her phone back down on the nightstand, falling asleep.

Spencer shoved female necessities in her bathroom cabinet for when her friends came over. Her older sister walked up behind her, leaning on the door frame.

Melissa "What are you doing with those?"

Spencer "Restocking for my friends."

Melissa "Wait you really have friends?"

Spencer rolled her eyes at her sister's comment.

Spencer "Yes I have friends, and I'm restocking for them."

Melissa "Stocking."

Spencer "That's what I said."

Melissa "No you said restocking. You've never had to buy them before for you wouldn't be restocking, you'd be stocking-"

Spencer "Alright Melissa! You can stop reminding me that I'm not a girl, okay I have a constant reminder everyday and I don't need you adding to it! You've been teasing me since I was little!"

Melissa "What are you talking about?"

Spencer "You never let me play hop scotch with you and your friends, you called me "little bro" until I was ten even though I told you to stop, and you teased me for wanting to wear a dress at prom last year!"

     Melissa's face softened and she looked at her sister sadly.

Melissa "I'm sorry. I just don't understand, I've been to afraid to ask. You're my little sister, that's all I know."

Spencer "Then let me tell you."

     Melissa nodded and followed for her sister to her bed, sitting down to listen.
