Emison: From the Beginning

Chapter 17: Girl Stuff

It's 5:27pm and the girls are finished shopping. They walk to Spencer's car. Spencer opens the trunk of her Range Rover and the girls put their bags in it. They get in and Spencer starts the car.

Spencer: You guys want to go to Aria's house now?

They all say yes at the same time. Spencer drives off. A few moments later, they arrive at Spencer's house. Spencer parks her car and they all walk down to Aria's house. Hanna, carrying a bag in her hand, walks up the steps to Aria's house and knocks on the door.

Voice: Who is it?

Hanna: It's us Aria.

Aria opens the door and greets them.

Aria: Hey! How are you guys?

The girls walk in and sit on the couch one by one. Aria sits in the burgundy rocking chair.

Hanna: Good. We just came from shopping. We got you something!

Hanna hands Aria the bag. Aria opens up the bag and pulls out a shirt.

Aria: Aw, thank you guys!

Hanna: We got it from that Graphic Tee shop you like!

Aria: So has anything fun happened so far at the sleepover?

Alison: Her sister scared the crap out of us. (She pointed to Spencer.)

Aria looks at Spencer.

Aria: Melissa? You guys are on good terms now?

Spencer: We kind of had a heart-to-heart and we apologized to each other so I guess the hatchet is buried.

Aria: Wow that's good! Crazy but good!

Alison: Why crazy?

Spencer: Because they all think Melissa is the devil and isn't capable of being nice.

Aria: Well the way you've talked about her, she seemed like the devil to me.

Spencer: Well I can't blame everything on her. I was a bit of a bitch to her sometimes too. It goes both ways, you know.

Aria: Yeah. But what else happened? Anything juicy?!

Alison and Hanna look at each other.

Alison: We kind of kissed.

Aria: You and Emily? Yeah, I saw that coming a mile away.

Emily: Nope, not me.

Emily started smiling. Aria looks at her confused.

Aria: Then... who?

Aria looked at Spencer.

Spencer: Not it.

Spencer started giggling. Hanna opened her mouth about to say something then she looked down at the floor smiling. Aria gasped.

Aria: Oh my god, Hanna? You kissed Ali?

Hanna: Kind of.

Aria: What do you mean kind of? She's with your best friend.

Emily: In her defense, we were playing spin the bottle with Melissa. And Jenna.

Aria: Oh yeah, that makes it so much better. Not.

Alison: It's not like it meant anything.

Hanna: Yeah, it was an innocent kiss.

Aria: Yeah, okay. It starts out that way.
