chapter six
there's no place like homecoming
⎯⎯⎯⎯Hanna, Adalind, Emily and Spencer walked into Aria's room to see her lying in her bed facing away from them with headphones in and listening to music. Adalind sighed before walking over to Aria as the others followed. "Hey." she greeted her cousin softly as she took out her earphones, causing Aria to groan softly. "What are you doing?" Aria asked as Adalind took her earphones as Hanna sat on her bed while Spencer and Emily stayed standing with Adalind.
"An intervention." Spencer piped up as she came up next to Adalind. "We brought takeout and rag mags." Emily said, holding up magazines before dumping them onto the bed. "But you cannot have any of those until you get out of those sweats." Hanna said as Aria sat up. "Why? What's wrong with these?" she asked. "Nothing," Adalind said with a shake of her head. "Except they're starting to graft to your skin." Spencer added, making Adalind laugh. "Well, they're comfy." Aria said defensively.
"Yeah, so are mom jeans and platform flip-flops." Hanna said. "Plus, how are we gonna help you choose a homecoming dress if you don't try some on for us?" Emily asked. "Oh, that's easy, I'm not going." Aria said, making the girls shocked. "What do you mean? You're not going to homecoming?" Adalind asked. "Yeah, you can't just not go." Spencer said with her hands on his hips. "What are you doing instead?" Emily asked her. "I don't know, I guess I'll just.. Read these and then inhale a gallon of chunky monkey." Aria responded with a sigh as she looked at the magazines before her friends.
"Hey, look, cutting yourself off from the rest of your life is not gonna help your parents." Spencer advised softly. "Spence is right, Ari." Adalind said. "And besides, they still might work it out," Spencer added but Adalind didn't quite know if they knew they would. "They're barely speaking to each other." Aria said sadly. "People get angry. They blow up, doesn't mean it's over." Emily said, trying to comfort her. "Emily, they didn't blow up over her dad missing their anniversary, he slept with one of his students." Hanna said, turning to look at Emily.
"Han," Adalind whispered, making Hanna smile sadly at Aria. "Sorry." she apologised. "I'm just saying, things can look over on friday and monday all is forgiven." Emily said, being optimistic. "Some things just take time." she added. "Yeah, maybe." Aria said sadly. "Okay, so you're coming." Spencer said excitedly, trying to lift up the mood as she dragged Aria out of bed, literally. "God," Aria groaned. "I'll think about it." she added. "Well, if you're not coming, can you atleast cast an absentee ballot?" Hanna asked from where she sat on Aria's bed, making them look at her as Adalind let out a laugh.
"What? I need her vote." Hanna said, defending herself. "Hanna, stop already, you've got homecoming queen locked down." Spencer said as she and Adalind sat down and Emily got the food out of the bag. "Really? You can rig the election?" Hanna asked, making Adalind let out a laugh. "Sorry, i have enough to do already, thanks." Spencer responded. "I'm head of the committee, half of which is out sick with the flu, so I'll be restocking the ice and refilling the hummus bowl and trying to look cute for my first official date." Spencer ranted.
