Sure, Rosewood was glamorous by most standards-all its residents looked like walk-on models for a Town & Country photo shoot-but they all knew Ali was destined for greater things. She wouldn’t stay here in Rosewood, Pennsylvania, for long. But Emily pursed her pale lips, considering, and Hanna nodded, truly believing. “Why are you going to be famous?” Spencer challenged, sounding bitchier than she probably meant to. “Well, we all know I’m going to get famous.” Alison thrust back her shoulders and turned her head to the side, revealing her swanlike neck. I’m concentrating on setting up this shot. “And anyway, my face isn’t going to freeze like this. She’d knitted it herself.Īria moved the camera’s lever back and forth to zoom in and out. They all had pink leather holsters to match Ali’s, too-well, all except for Aria, whose holster was made of pink mohair. A month ago, Ali had come to school with a brand-new LG flip phone, and the others had rushed out to buy their own that very day. It was a Friday night in May near the end of seventh grade, and best friends Alison, Hanna, Spencer, Aria, and Emily were gathered in Spencer’s family’s plushly decorated family room, with the Popsicle box, a big bottle of cherry vanilla Diet Dr Pepper, and their cell phones splayed out on the coffee table. Alison tapped Hanna’s shin with her flip-flop.

Hanna’s face fell as she pulled down her pink-and-white striped T-shirt-she’d borrowed it from Ali, and it kept riding up, revealing a white strip of her stomach. “Your mom should’ve warned you that your butt would freeze that way.” “Your face will freeze that way,” she mimicked.Īlison looked Hanna up and down and cackled. Hanna always ate faster than anyone else. “Your mom says that too?” Hanna Marin asked, throwing away her green-stained Popsicle stick. “Instant Swim Dork! Just add loser!” Alison DiLaurentis had joked when Emily walked in. “You sound like my mom, Spence.” Emily Fields laughed, adjusting her T-shirt, which had a picture of a baby chicken in goggles on it and said, INSTANT SWIM CHICK! JUST ADD WATER! Her friends had forbidden Emily from wearing her goofy swimming T-shirts. She was referring to the squinty-eyed drunk-pirate face her best friend, Aria Montgomery, was making as she tried to get her Sony Handycam to focus. Your face is going to freeze like that.” Spencer Hastings unwrapped an orange Popsicle and slid it into her mouth. One day she turns around and is a completely different person. Have you ever had a friend turn on you? Just totally transform from someone you thought you knew into someone…else? I’m not talking your boyfriend from nursery school who grows up and gets gawky and ugly and zitty, or your friend from camp whom you’ve got nothing to say to when she comes to visit you over Christmas break, or even a girl in your clique who suddenly breaks away and turns goth or into one of those granola Outward Bound kids.
