"aria! you'll never believe what that bitch just did, i swear to god, im going to crucify her!" i yelled over the phone
"hey, ali, slow down. what's going on?" she answered.
"doesn't matter, just come over right now, tell spencer and mona, too." i finished the call and hung up. i just sat down on the sofa, tapping my knee, while impatiently waiting for the girls to come.
how is emily going to do that to me? i was in the middle of a vulnerable moment, but instead of understanding, she just goes flirts with my bestfriend. and hanna. hanna should know better, but of course she just has to soak up the attention.
about 15 minutes passed before i heard knocks on the door. i jumped up and quickly opened the door for them. they beelined to my couch and began bombarding me with questions.
hey, what's going on?
where's em and hanna?
what's wrong with you? what happened?
"yea, where's emily and hanna?
"guys!" i interrupted, closing my eyes to show that i'm annoyed.
they all fell silent.
before starting my fake spiel about hanna betraying me with emily, i emotionally prepared myself, (just to make it more believable.) i was quiet for a few moments, trying to think of how to convince them. i finally came up with the words to say and started sniffling.
i looked down and began, "well.." i sniffled again.
"oh my god, what happened? ali, are you okay?" spencer comforted me, scooting closer.
"yea, yea, i just-"
i stopped to try to cry. i pretended to shiver and a tear ran down each side of my cheek. yes!
"ali, just say it. we're here for you," aria added, placing her hand on my knee.
"it's just-, i got in an arguement with emily yesterday," i started again. i wiped the tears off my face, "a-and it was about her being gay because-" i felt myself release another tear. "because i told her cousin. and i guess she didn't know"
"wait, what? where's em? i don't get why she didn't tell me," mona spoke up. i gave her a death stare, signalling that she should shut up.
"i-i don't know why, she probably can't accept it," i answered. "when she came to my house, she was hysterical. she was blaming it on me and saying all these hurtful things. i just can't believe she'd treat me like that over an accident!"
"why would she think it was your fault? emily's smarter than that, i don't think she would just act that way." mona responded.
"i already told you, i dont know, mona. she just freaked out on me," i told with attitude laced in my voice.
"and you're saying she just flipped out on you. she didn't let you talk or?" spencer said, with a somewhat accusatory tone.
"no! " i said angrily.
everyone stayed quiet.
"i mean, why did i even call you guys over here? it seems like you're already taking sides," i told them. "i'm trying to tell you what happened."
"sorry, ali," aria mumbled. "go on."
i pretended to wipe another tear. "doesn't matter, emily already said what she said to me and of course, hanna will just bandwagon on the hate train."
"hanna?"
"yes, i knew that bitch has always been jealous of me. she's just trying to take emily away from me, since you guys like me way better," i confidently said.
