You thought high school was hard? Try walking in the flip-flops of Pretty Little Liars' Emily Fields for a day.

Shay Mitchell's gay character has had more than her share of dramz: Since her best friend's murder, she's been terrorized by the mysterious "A" and come out as a lesbian—and, thanks to her horrified parents, her girlfriend was shipped of to some kind of sobriety camp. Emily proved she could stand up to a Swimfan-style bully at school, but what about her anonymous tormentor, A?

Shay gave us the scoop...

Insanely awesome, right? What do you expect to happen in the finale?
