emily's pov

after the last period. i went into the restroom to have luckily found spencer.

             "hey," i say.

       "hey!" she tells me smiling. "how was your first day? it must've been great, i mean ali gave you an invite," she says putting on mascara.

         "uh, yeah. i'm guessing she's pretty popular," i mumble.

              "she's like the goddess of this school," she responds.

               "cool, i guess. so..did you get an invite?" i ask trying to make conversation.

                "duh. we're the first people that ali gives her invites to, you know , 'the cool people,' she says , making hand quotations.

            "the cool people? are they the people you were walking with earlier this morning?" i ask.

             "yeah. hanna, aria, alison, me and her boyfriend, noel."

i nod.

             "so, are you going to the party?" she asks

                    "yeah." i simply say.

           "who's your plus one?" she asks.

              "well.." i started to feel self conscious of my plus one choice. i really don't want to tell spencer.
"um, this girl I met.." i continued.

          "who is it?" spencer asks confused
.
              "some girl called mona."

      "mona? as in mona vanderwaal?!?" she asks yelling.

                    "y-yeah."

          "oh my gosh! why?" spencer asks.

        "because she seemed ni-"


               "nice? she's just some wannabe trying to get to the top."

i bit the inside of my cheek, nervously.

"if i were you.." spencer says softly, "i wouldn't take her. unless, she's coming to that party showing up like madonna"

i suddenly had an idea. maybe i could change mona. the way she looks, maybe people will accept her.
she goes back to applying lipstick.

"who's your plus one?" i ask trying to change the subject.
"my boyfriend, toby." she answers. "ge's coming from philly to come to the party with me tonight," she says.
"oh," i say. she holds both of my hands.
"i think we're gonna go all the way tonight!" she shrieks.

eww. "oh," i say slightly mortified.

"well, i uh, guess i should get going. get ready for tonight." I say
.
"okay," spencer answers.

"bye," i say waving.

"bye."

                                    ++++

i walked in to find my mom in the kitchen cleaning.
"i'm home," i say.

"oh, honey! how was your first day at school?" she asks.

"uhm. It was great, i made a friend." i say happily.
"that's great, honey." she tells me

"anyway," i say sitting on the counter. "i got invited to this huge party tonight and i really wan-"
