The Story of Us

Back To School

ALISON DILAURENTIS

After last night, i went straight home and found Jason sleeping on our couch. I think he's passed out or whatever. I tried to wake him up, he's passed out, maybe he's drunk or something. I check his pulse, phew, still alive. I just let him sleep and i went upstairs, i miss my bedroom. The bed, the mirror, the painting the everything! I'm so glad i'm finally home! But what is the main purpose of me being back in Rosewood? I ask myself, i think the main purpose of this is to know why my mother buried me, but sadly, she's nowhere to find in this house. I forgot that tomorrow's my first day at school. I managed to sleep peacefully.

I wake up to see Dad and Jason at the end of my bed. They quickly gave me a warm hug, a welcoming hug.

"Welcome back, sweetie." Dad said

"I miss you dad! By the way, where's mom?" I said

"Umm, we don't have communication anymore. I don't know where she is but news said she's missing"- Dad said

I let out a heavy sigh, I'm supposed to ask my mom many questions and now, she's nowhere to find.

"By the way, i'm going to school not later than today. Can you drop me off school?" I said

"Okay sweetie, whatever you want, you can come down for breakfast" He said

"Thanks, but no thanks, i'm full." I said.

I can sense Jason is very silent. I'm going to talk to him later. Like i'm going to talk with the girls.

                                                                    ■■■■■

I wear a blue dress and put on some makeup, you can do this, i say to myself. I went downstairs to see Dad preparing for dropping me off school.

"Are you ready?" Dad said

"Yes, i literally am." i said

We went into the car and drove off to school.

I see our school far away, i've missed this. Then i see many school buses and people outside the campus. Dad dropped me off. A bunch of eyes landed on me. Then i saw Cindy and Mindy, i had the urge to apologize to them. Then i see Aria, Emily, Hanna and Spencer, waiting like they're my bridesmaids. I walk upto them, i caught Emily staring at me, i gave her a wink, i can tell she blushed. I haven't talked to her since yesterday. We walk down the corridors and hallways, many people have their eyes on me. Shit.  I see Emily on my left side, giving people a "back-off bitch" look. I've missed her the most.

"Okay, Ali, do you know where your first class is?" Aria said

"I am supposed to go to the Guidance Counselor Office. But i don't know where it is" I said

"I can take you there, my class is just beside the Guidance Counselor Office." Emily said, smiling.

"Uhm okayy. Okay bye guys, see you at lunch."- I said

As we walked towards the Office, i can feel Emily still blushing. It's very cute to see her blushing.

"Uhm, Em, why are you blushing?" I broke the silence.

"Nothing, nothing, there's the GC's Office." Emily said pointing her finger, to a little office.

Why is she ignoring my question?

"Uhmm, okay see you at lunch." I said.

"Yeah, yeah. " Emily said.

I walked towards the GC's Office, i knocked on the door to find a guy with blonde hair, and glasses, i can tell that he's a nerd.

"Hi, I'm Alison Dilaurentis.  Is this is were i am supposed to go? " i said

"Oh, Hi. Yes, come in. By the way, my name's Andrew, Andrew Campbell. I'm just an assistant here but i take over my boss' shift. " He said

"Oh, nice meeting you. Why am i here?" I said

"We heard about your tough days and we'll be comforting you." Andrew said

"Uhmm okay..." i said

So he did some blah blah blah... Blah blah blah. Next thing i know, i'm texting the girls that i'm in Guidance Counselor hell. He kept saying some things, things i don't care about. But one thing he said snapped me out of my thoughts.

"........ Don't let your past ruin your future.........."

"........Don't be confused on what feelings you have for a certain person, you need to let it out and let the whole world know that you love that person......"

I remember Emily. Emily Fields. Her sweet smile, her big brown eyes, her black hair and her stunning curls. A feeling started building up inside me since she kissed me on the library. I feel i'm falling for her. I realized i still have a chance to work this out. I hope she still loves me after all the betraying i did to her. No one ever felt so very sorry for that than i have. She doesn't know who much i want her, how much i love her.

The next thing i know is that the Guidance Counselor saying goodbye to me. I can't believe this hell is over. Well it lasted like the whole day. I went outside but the girls are probably home. I remember i will be picked up by Dad today. A car beeped me and it was my dad. We headed home. I'm so hungry.

I ran upstairs to change clothes then ran back down again to find food on the kitchen. Yes. Bingo, i found a sandwich , i reheat it and ate it. Jason just got home from god-knows-where, he walked past by me and checked the kitchen.

"Where is my sandwich?" He said.

Oh no,i ate his sandwich.

"I kinda ate it." I said

"What..?! Nevermind. I'll just go upstairs." Jason said with a smirk on his face, i can tell that he's pissed off.

I went upstairs and decided to text Emily.

"Sleepover tonight? I invited the girls" i lied to her.

"Uhmmm, i guess so, i will be there" Em replied.
