ackyard to steal her Time Capsule flag. Some<strong>on</strong>e kept imitating Ali’s voice. And then there was a<br />

shattering<br />

sound and a thud, as if some<strong>on</strong>e had been pushed. Jas<strong>on</strong> stormed out of the house moments later, his<br />

face fiery red.<br />

In fact, now that she thought about it, the very first time Emily had ever seen Ali, Jas<strong>on</strong> had been teasing<br />

her. It was a few days before she started third grade, and Emily and her mom were at the grocery store,<br />

picking out juice boxes and mini bags of Doritos for school lunches. A pretty bl<strong>on</strong>d girl about Emily’s age<br />

bounded right past them, skipping up the cereal aisle. There was something intoxicating about her,<br />

probably<br />

because she was everything plain, introverted Emily wasn’t.<br />

They saw the girl again in the frozen foods secti<strong>on</strong>, peering into every case, trying to decide what she<br />

wanted.<br />

Her mother trailed behind with a cart, and a boy, probably about fourteen, followed, staring at a Game<br />

Boy. “Mom, can we get Eggos?” the girl cried, opening up a freezer door, her smile big and gap-toothed.<br />

teenage boy rolled his eyes. “Mom, can we get Eggos?” he imitated, his voice sharp and mean.<br />

thud.<br />

The mother grabbed the boy’s arm. “You know better.” The boy shrugged and slumped down, but Emil y<br />

thought he deserved being yelled at. He ruined the girl’s fun, simply because he could. A few days later,<br />

when third grade began, Emily realized that the girl in the store had been Ali. She was new to Rosewood<br />

Day, but she was so pretty and bubbly that every<strong>on</strong>e instantly wanted to sit next to her <strong>on</strong> the rug<br />

during<br />

show-and-tell. It was hard to believe anything would make her sad.<br />

Emily kicked an icy ball of snow down the sidewalk, quietly debating whether she should tell Aria this.<br />

But<br />

before she could, Aria mumbled a terse good-bye and walked briskly toward the science wing, the<br />

tassels at<br />

the ends of her earflap hat bouncing.
