Little Lies

Author's Note: In this letter to a character from the book, Alison from Pretty Little Liars, you will find how she changed, who she changed, and a character she relates to from another thing. Overall, you will see how she changes throughout the novel. 

Dear Alison, 

Just knowing your name and your past chills me to the bone. I know you have some friends, but you are wicked mean to all of those who dare cross your path. Thinking about it though, you are mean to even those who know all your secrets and you know all theirs: your best friends. How could people have respect for you when all you do is stab them, verbally, in the back? No one could. No wonder you are dead. Obviously someone just couldn't take it any more. You changed many different people's lives in ways that maybe you wouldn't have thought you could. 

Not only did the way you made your presence known change, you changed how much you were talking to people and socializing. Your friends noticed how timid you were acting around them; questioning every word they chose to share with you. You stopped sharing things with them and they noticed something was going on. One things that was and odd step in all of this was that you weren't as mean as usual. It almost seemed as if you knew that something bad was going to hit you when you least expected it. Funny how dead-on the human mind can be sometimes. 

One person that you changed drastically was Lucas; the weird boy that lurks around school. Maybe he was lurking because he was afraid of you. You tormented him until he was scared to even attend school. First he was a happy young man who was nice to everyone. Quickly, he became the one that was a target for not just you, but the rest of your school as well. Since you picked on him all the time, people thought it was okay because Alison DiLaurentis, Ms. Popular, decided he was a vulnerable weak point. You made this poor kid's life a living tragedy.

Because you are the most popular in your grade and you have a bad reputation, you remind me of a horrible character from a movie, Mean Girls. Regina George is her name; everyone pretends to like her because they are scared of what she could do to them. Sound familiar? She says horrible things about people behind their backs and to their faces just like you and everyone despises her for it. Her friends don't even like her.

The ways you took hold of many people's lives was cruel, vile, and for you, deadly. You not only rattled many people's lives, you changed them overall. You are a very cold-hearted person and nobody appreciated you for that. Near the end of your life, you acted like a totally different person and people could tell. Somebody wanted you dead and they went to many lengths to make it happen. If you really think about it, you deserved it.
