A week had passed, with nothing major happening. But something tells me that it's only starting.
"Where are they?", Spencer groaned, as she peered through the double doors, waiting for Emily and Hanna to appear.
"I told my mom we'd be studying at the library so that's covered", Aria stated.
"Good."
Aria looked at Spencer, who was extremely fidgety, "You sure you wanna do this tonight?"
"Yeah, are you kidding? We have to find out what this guy knows about Ali. And why his number was in Ali's- Vivian's coat. And we finally got this meeting set, so it's gotta be tonight."
Avery squeezed Spencer's hand, knowing that she was still reeling from the revelations of last week. None of the other girls knew, which made them confused about Spencer's behavior. Avery smiled weakly at the taller brunette, "Look, we're gonna have your back the whole time."
"I know."
"It's been a whole week. Ben just wants to know why you're not going home", Avery informed Spencer. Probably a bad timing, but she had to know.
"I just-", Spencer sighed, glancing over at a confused Aria, "I can't deal with my family right now."
Innocently, Aria shrugged, "Can I help?"
Before Spencer could deny any help (even though there wasn't much Aria could do), the hallways burst into cheers and applauses, as the Sharks made their way down the hallway, Emily at the lead. The school welcomed Emily back, just in time for the tournament, which the team had won, judging by the shining trophy in the Fields girl's hands.
Hanna walked towards the three girls, as they watched Emily interact with Maya, before they walked towards the four girls, the formers eyes shining with glee.
Hanna smiled, "Hey! Em, my mom said that we could have the team party at my house."
"That's great!", Maya exclaimed.
The loud chatter in the corridors died down, as the crowd slowly parted to make way for a couple of police officers. More specifically, Garrett and Ben. The five girls watched in confusion as the two marched towards someone on the other end of the corridor.
"Caleb Rivers?", Garrett greeted, as the said boy quickly shut his laptop close, "I got a court order here to impound your laptop."
"What for?", Caleb retorted.
"Someone's been hacking into secure school files. I traced them back to your IP address."
Caleb scoffed, "You think if I did something like that I'd be stupid enough to leave a trail?"
"We'll find out. Come on."
Ben stretched a hand out, "Hand it over. Any passwords we're gonna need?"
