Falling for you

Becoming detectives

Alison:
"I honestly have never seen that guy before." I concluded after Emily and I had been trying to track the number that Hanna had given us.

"Well he certainly knows you." Emily had a pen tucked behind her ear and her brows furrowed in concentration.

"Yeah." I folded my lips into my mouth trying to think.

"Wait!" Emily suddenly sat up and spencer looked at her and cocked her brow.

"I'm the smart one in this situation. Enlighten me." Spencer smirked. It was a great idea for all the other girls to be here since they helped em and I get together.

"What if this is related to your break up with Noel?" Emily brightened as if saying the idea out loud made it all make sense.

"Noel Kahn?" I asked in disbelief.

"Yes! It ended horribly and he is still not over you!!" Spencer agreed jumping up and down.

"I don't know, I guess it makes sense." Hanna butted in, finally speaking, "I could always just ask him..."

"That would seem suspicious though considering he told you that he was his brother and you believed him." Spencer pointed out.

"Sometimes I wish you weren't so smart." Hanna smirked.

"Maybe it's a friend...like his best friend." I finally spoke and everyone looked at me.

"Totally!" Spencer agreed.

"Okay so uh what now? We can't just assume it's Noel without knowing for sure." Emily reminded us quietly. Gosh, she was too sweet for everything.

"Yeah, but I mean. What can we do?" Aria said finally getting involved in the conversation.

"We need to catch him in a lie." I smirked feeling the old, manipulative Alison creep up inside of me.

Everyone smiled mischievously.

"Let's do it." Emily smiled evily.

"Hanna?" Spencer gave a pointed look to Hanna and she sighed.

"I'll text him." She held out her phone and got ready to text him.

"Say 'hey it's Hanna, obviously, but I was wondering, since you're Noel's friend could you ask him something for me?' I mean he and his friends get drunk all the time, he could've drunk texted you and told you that. It's a long shot, but it's all we got." I suggested as Hanna's fingers typed furiously.

We all held our breath as she hit send. I even saw Emily cross her fingers and Spencer fold her hands nervously.

"I don't know if this'll work." Spencer frowned and chewed the inside of her lip.

"It will...I mean, it did!" Hanna's phone buzzed and she opened it quickly.

"What is it?" Hanna read the text out loud.

"Aha! You were right em!" I said triumphantly.

She blushed and smiled her shy half-smile, "let's go talk to Noel?"

I grabbed her hand and literally dragged her out the door, "let's go guys." Being the leader of the group, I had to take charge.

Noel better be prepared for what's going to hit him.
