Pretty Little Party
A pudgy caterer with impeccably manicured hands thrust a tray of steaming,
gooey cheese into Spencer Hastings’s face. “Baked Brie?”
Spencer selected a cracker and took a big bite. Delicious. It wasn’t every
day that a caterer served her baked Brie in her very own kitchen, but on this
particular Saturday night, her mother was throwing a party to welcome a new
family to the neighborhood. Mrs. Hastings hadn’t been in the mood to play
hostess the last few months, but she’d had a burst of social enthusiasm.
As if on cue, Veronica Hastings bustled into the room in a cloud of Chanel
No. 5, fastening dangling earrings to her earlobes and sliding a large diamond
ring onto her right finger. The ring was a recent purchase—her mother had
exchanged every piece of jewelry Spencer’s dad had ever bought her for allnew baubles. Her ash-blond hair hung straight and smooth to her chin, her
eyes looked wide and huge thanks to expertly applied makeup, and she wore a
fitted black sheath dress that showed off her Pilates-toned arms.
“Spencer, your friend’s here to work coat check,” Mrs. Hastings said
hurriedly as she put a couple of stray dishes from the sink into the dishwasher
and gave the island yet another spray with Fantastik, even though she’d had a
team scour the house only an hour before. “Maybe you should see if she
needs anything.”
“Who?” Spencer wrinkled her nose. She hadn’t asked anyone to work
tonight’s event. Usually her mom hired students from Hollis College, the
university down the road, to do it.
Mrs. Hastings let out an impatient sigh and checked her flawless reflection
in the stainless steel refrigerator door. “Emily Fields. I’ve set her up by the
study.”
Spencer stiffened. Emily was here? She certainly hadn’t invited her.
She couldn’t remember the last time she’d spoken to Emily—it had to be
months. But her mother—and the rest of the world—still thought they were
close friends.
The People magazine cover was to blame—it hit newsstands
shortly after the Real Ali tried to kill them and featured Spencer, Emily, Aria,
and Hanna entangled in a four-girl hug. VERY PRETTY, BUT DEFINITELY NOT
LIARS, the headline said. Recently, a reporter called the Hastings house to
request a reunion interview with Spencer—the anniversary of that terrible
night in the Poconos was next Saturday, and the public wanted to know how
the girls were doing a year later. Spencer had declined. She was sure the
others had, too.
“Spence?”
Spencer whirled around. Mrs. Hastings was gone, but Spencer’s older
sister, Melissa, stood in her place, her body wrapped in a chic gray belted
raincoat. A pair of skinny black pants from J. Crew covered her long legs.
“Hey.” Melissa reached out and gave Spencer a big hug, and Spencer got a
huge whiff of—what else?—Chanel No. 5. Melissa was a mommy clone, but
Spencer tried not to hold it against her.
