Awkward

Part 2

The next day after school Alison was hanging out with Aria trying not to think about Emily. She wondered if she act the same around all her friends. She noticed she told Aria to switch ice creams and immediately wondered if that's something friends would do.

Aria: What's going on Alison? Something seems off with you.

Alison: I don't know. Just have alot on my mind recently I guess.

Aria: You know we're all here for you if you ever want to talk about it.

Àlison: I was thinking it was time for a sleepover. Since Spencer's parents are hardly ever home maybe we could try to have it there.

Aria: That sounds fun. I need to get away from my family this weekend.

Alison: Why?

Aria: Just been some awkward things happening there that I need to escape from.

Alison: I understand that feeling. That need to escape.

Aria: Okay I was supposed to be cheering you up! (Aria laughs) Lets call Spencer and ask about the barn.

Alison: No don't worry about it. I'll see Spencer when I get home. I'll ask her about it then.

Aria: Alright Ali. See you at school tomorrow.

Alison walked home slowly trying not to think too much. She came upon Spencer's house and went to the side door and knocked. Spencer didn't answer, but her sister Melissa's boyfriend, Ian Thomas did. Alison decided to flirt with him.

Alison: Hi Ian. It's always a pleasure to see you.

Ian: Hey Ali. Spence is up in her room she should be back down soon.

Alison: Where is Melissa?

Ian: She was out running errands I'm supposed to actually be meeting her here.

Alison: Well isn't this fate. You and I alone in someone else's house. It's like the universe is practically throwing us together.

Ian: Yeah the universe. Or a teenage girl who lives next door watched until everyone was gone before coming over knocking on the door.

Alison: This is one teenager who has never been that desperate. People watch for me not the other way around. ( she smirked )

Ian: Yeah I see you and your gang of dolls rolling through town like your hot stuff.

Alison: Oh trust me, we are definitely hotstuff. (Stands unbearably close to him) We can have anything and anyone that we want.

Just then Spencer comes down the stairs.

Spencer: Hi Ali. I didn't know you were stopping by.

Alison: It was actually a spur of the moment type thing. I was speaking with Aria and well we decided it's time for a sleepover. Your house this weekend.

Spencer: Okay. That shouldn't be a problem.

Alison: Good. Bye Ian. Later Spence! (Alison put her sunglasses on and waltz out of Spencer's home.)

Alison really didn't want to go to her house but she had no alternative. Flirting with Ian had been fun and just the confirmation that she needed that she was into boys. She just didn't know why Emily's stares made her feel anything besides uncomfortable. Why did it bring a smile to her face. Alison thought it was best not to dwell on those types of questions.
