her family was having a tennis court in their back yard. They builders dug her body up in the
middle of the construction. Emily, Spencer, Hanna, and Aria stopped talking after Ali
disappeared. When they got to the wake they met up in front of the church and sat together
during the wake. After the wake they all got a text message from a person called A. A sent them
messages about stuff that if anyone else knew their lives would be ruined. After they got the
texts they said that they would met at a park of a school. The schools were closed in honor of
Ali. They told each other that when they got a message from A they would tell each other. They
never told each other but they did talk more than they used to. They suspected that A was a boy
named Toby. Where ever they looked Toby was there. Emily thought that Toby was A so she
asked him to a charity dance called Foxy. When Spencer, Hanna, and Aria saw Emily with Toby
they told her that they thought that she was in danger, because they thought that Toby killed Ali.
Emily listened to them and left without Toby. The next day Toby went missing. The day after that
