     Spencer threw her book bag over her shoulders lazily. She studied the bags under her eyes and sighed. No sleep, absolutely none. Ava cried though out the night not allowing anyone in the house to sleep. Aria grabbed her purse and walked out of the Hastings house with Spencer. They climbed in the car and drove to school.

Spencer "Let's Stop at the Brew, I need coffee."

Aria "I can't have coffee."

Spencer "You can, just not a lot."

Aria "Then to the Brew!"

     Spencer held the door open for Aria before walking in. They went up to the counter and ordered. The Brew door opened and Alison, Emily, and Hanna walked in.

Hanna "Geez you guys look dead."

Emily "Hanna!"

Hanna "Sorry."

Alison "How are you guys?"

Spencer "Fine..yeah, lots of sleep."

Emily "Spencer you can barely keep your eyes open."

Aria "We're just getting used to having a baby around that's all."

Hanna "Well if you need any help, Auntie Hanna is here."

     The girls laughed and drank their coffees.

Spencer "Thanks Han."

     The girls walk into school and see a crowd of kids standing around someone's locker. They approached the group. Alison ordered everyone out of her way. Spencer looked shocked as she saw Alex standing at a locker being towered over by none other than Noel Khan.

Noel "Tell me where he is!"

Alex "I-I don't know! I don't know where Spencer is!"

     Spencer rushed to them and pushed Noel away. She looked at him, seeing an unshaven beard and dirty clothes.

Spencer "What are you doing here Noel?"

Noel "I was looking for you. After Aria escaped, I decided to leave town. My dad told me that I went too far and he wouldn't help me, so I've been homeless for months. Now that I'm back, I'm taking my revenge."

Spencer "Just leave us alone Noel. I'll talk to my parents, give you whatever money you want, and then we can let this go. No one will be hurt."

Noel "It's funny you say that. Every person in movie and tv shows says that, right before they get a bullet through the head."
