"This is how I heard the story. The twins played so nicely while they waited for their parents to get home. But they wouldn't get to go trick-or-treat that night...or ever again."

"Alison!",  Hanna exclaimed incredulously, interrupting Alison's narration and motioning to little Jimmy who was on Avery's lap, "He's gonna go home and tell his parents the story and I'm gonna get fired."

"Come on, Hanna, he loves it", Alison rolled her eyes, "Right?"

"Say no, Jimmy", Avery instructed. Otherwise he would probably do something stupid, like nod and agree with Alison. The little boy nodded, causing Alison to smirk. Great! Ali's going to continue narrating her stupid story.

Hanna sighed, "You've been warned."

Alison grabbed a knife. Couldn't she be a little more subtle? She stared at Jimmy, "She lifted the knife high into the air, and then plunged it deep into her sister's chest! A sick smile came across her face as she watched the blood ooze out of her sister's heart. And they had no choice but to send her away to a home for the criminally insane.

Emily was walking beside Alison, while the other girls were trailing behind them. The posse looked so different back then; Aria had bright pink highlights on her hair, Spencer regularly donned glasses, Hanna wore frumpy clothes while Avery looked like she had just woken up with her neon pink oversized hoodie. Only Emily remained more or less the same, while Alison...

"So what do you think, Em?", Alison asked Emily with a smirk, "Should Hanna be 'Cute Britney' or 'Bald Britney'?"

Emily blushed, "If she wants to be, Cute Britney."

"Aria?"

Aria smiled, "She's not gonna shave her head."

Alison looked back at Spencer who was furiously typing on her phone, "Spencer, you're worse than my father."

"Sorry", Spencer apologized, "But I did just procure nine votes from the debate team."

"Wait, that's a good thing, right?", Hanna questioned.

"Yeah. And 'procured' means to obtain with special effort. And 'obtain' means to-"
