It’s so annoying to see people still not believe them.  Yep, they were ruining their lives just for attention.  I mean come on Alison isn’t that smart it’s impressive how a person who barely finished middle school is out smarting all these people.  Also, Emily’s family absolutely suck, she deserves better.
