Aria Meets World

6| Aria Meets Popular

ARIA, Riley and Maya were standing in the hallway when Riley noticed someone and began freaking out.

"Look what's happening; look what's coming." She freaked.

"What's coming, crazy?" Maya calmly asked her best friend.

"Invitations... to the seventh grade parties. It's begun. We could all be party girls. I'm gonna need a party-girl walk." Riley said and did a crazy walk.

"No." Aria shook her head.

"Yeah, that's not it." Maya said.

"You know, there's going to be boys at these parties. But not just any boys. Opposite-sex boys. They're the best kind."

"Yeah, you sound ready for this." Maya told her.

"Oh, I am. And I may just be the first girl who crosses over from our side of the room to the..." Riley trailed off.

"Yeah, it's gonna be you two."

At the same time, Maya said, "Yeah, it's gonna be us."

"You know what pretty boy hipster is handing out invitations to... don't you?" Riley said excitedly and tapped Maya and her twin on their arms.

The two retaliated and tapped her back before saying, "A party."

"Memberships to the popular club." Riley corrected.

"Why can't you just let it be a party?" Aria groaned in exasperation.

"Because this is it, right here. This is where you guys go one way and I go the other way. You get the invite and you marry pretty-boy hipster and I end up marrying Antonio Delveccio and we buy things in bulk. You're gonna be popular. I'm not." Riley ranted and started rubbing Maya's hair.

"Good for you guys. Good girls. Bye-bye Maya and Aria." She continued, letting out a sob, "Bye-bye."

At that point, 'pretty-boy hipster' came over and started handing Riley an invitation; she pushed it away the first three times he tried to give it to her before letting a smile grace her face and grabbing the invitation.

"Yay! For me. Girls, I know you didn't get one, but is it okay if I'm really happy?"

"You go get 'em tiger." Maya told her before watching as Riley 'party-girl' walked out of the hallway.

"I love you, but you a lot of work." Maya muttered before copying her best friend and 'party-girl' walked out.

"You both are." Aria sighed.

WHEN THE GIRLS ARRIVED AT CORY'S CLASS, Riley went up to her father's desk and slammed the invitation on it.

"Boom!"

Cory picked up the invitation and asked, "You got invited to something?"

"So much for genetics, baby."

Aria face-palmed, "How are we twins?" She shook her head and sat down at her desk.

"Ooh! Seventh grade party. Yup, I didn't get invited to a whole lot of these. Good for you. I'm proud of you. Boy-girl party?" Cory asked.

"Yup." Riley nodded.

"You can't go." Cory and Riley said in unison.

"May I approach?" Maya asked the father-daughter duo.

"Hurry, please." They once again spoke in unison.

"I'm gonna keep your young'un out of trouble, sir."
