Girls Night Out

Imarina's POV

Matt and I are hanging posters for the live band at the grill tonight at his school. When Caroline appears. We exchange greetings and she looks at the poster. "Live band?" she asks.

"Yeah, business has been a little slow. The Grill's trying to stay afloat" Matt explains.

"If tonight isn't a success I'll be the first to go as the newest employee" I add.

"Have you heard from Tyler?" Matt asks her.

"Not a peep. You?" she asks him.

"No, not since he stopped by the Grill to talk, and I've left messages on his cell phone" Matt states.

"He stopped by to see you?" I ask curious.

"What did he say?" Care asks him.

"Not much, really. I mean...I think to say good-bye without really saying good-bye. I just didn't know it" Matt explains. "Oh he also said to be careful around you" he adds looking at me. I roll my eyes as Jaguar sniggers.

"And that's all he said?" Care asks him.

"Yeah. Yeah, that's all he said, Caroline. Why? I mean, is there something you want to tell me?" Matt asks her.

"Oh look at the time, I'm late for my shift. See you tonight at the grill Matt" I say and leave them. So do not want to be there for that talk. I get a call from Bonnie. "Hey Bon-bon, what's up?" I ask her.

"Elena, Caroline and I are having a girls night tonight. I was wondering if you'd like to join us" she states.

"I would, but I have a shift at the grill tonight" I tell her sadly. "Another time though, definitely" I add.

"Ok, well we'll be at Elena's if you get let off early" she tells me.

"Got it, have fun" I tell her and hang up as I reach the grill. I clock in and put on my apron, then put my hair in a ponytail. I go straight to work.

"Imarina, glad I found you" the manager says as she finds me on my break. "I know we scheduled you for a double shift. But one of our regulars child just had an accident and they need extra money for the hospital bills. So is it ok if you don't work tonight?" she asks me.

"Yeah that's fine, means I can go to girls night I was invited too" I tell her.

"Great, so your shift ends at 4:45. Feel free to come back with your friends for the band tonight. The more customers the better" she tells me.

"Sure thing boss, see you later" I say and get back to my shift. I work until the end and clock out. I go back to the boarding house and change clothes. Then go to Elena's and knock on the door.

"Imarina, welcome" Jenna says with a smile when she opens the door.

"Hi Jenna, I'm here to hang out with Elena and the girls" I tell her.

"They're in the kitchen, follow me" she says. I enter the house shutting the door behind me. We head to the kitchen to see the girls already around the kitchen bunch.

"Imarina, you made it. I thought you had work" Bonnie says smiling.

"Got let off early" I state as I join them.

"How are you doing?" Elena asks Jenna.

"You heard about my fight with Ric" she says.

"He feels terrible" Elena tells her.

"Is this some kind of disguised attempt to cheer me up?" Jenna asks her. Elena looks at us girls.

"No. No, this is about us girls hanging out and you know, we'll be here if you happen to want to talk, or..." Elena trails off.
