Alison, Hanna, Spencer and Emily are walking down the hallway to the lunchroom. Hanna wraps her arm around Emily's and Spencer and Alison are walking in front of them.

Hanna: I called your house around four and no one answered.

Emily: Why didn't you call my cell?

Hanna: I did but it went to voicemail.

Emily: Oh. It must have been on vibrate.

Hanna: So where were you? Were you with your new girlfriend?

Emily: (She looks down at the floor.) No.

Hanna: (She gasps.) Oh my god yes you were! Tell me everything!

Emily: Keep your voice down!

Hanna: Okay, sorry!

Emily: And we didn't do anything. We just studied and I stayed over for dinner.

Hanna glances at Emily.

Hanna: You're totally lying!

Emily: We didn't do anything Hanna.

Hanna: Yeah. Okay!

Emily: I swear!

Hanna: Whatever you say Em.

Alison turns around and looks at Hanna and Emily. Hanna waves, Alison smiles and turns back around.

Spencer: So how long are you gonna be in Georgia? If you don't mind me asking.

Alison: For about a week.

Spencer: So you're gonna miss a week of school?

Alison: Yeah.

Spencer: Understandable.

Alison: Enough about me, tell me something about you.

Spencer: Both of my parents are lawyers and I also have a sister who's a total pain in the ass.

Alison: What's her name?

Spencer: Melissa.

Alison: How old is she?

Spencer: 24.

Alison: What's it like having lawyers for parents?

Spencer: They expect me to be perfect all the time.

Alison: Why?

Spencer: I don't know if it's a lawyer thing or a parent thing.

Alison: Could be both.

The girls head into the lunchroom.

Hanna: Today's special is cheeseburgers and french fries. Oh yeah!

The girls each grab a lunch tray and get in line. As they're walking in line, Spencer's phone starts ringing. She answers it.

Spencer: Hello?

Aria: Hey Spence.

Spencer: You sound horrible. Is everything okay?

Aria: Yeah. I just have a really bad cold.

Spencer: Are you sure you can make it tonight?

Aria: I don't know. (She sniffles.)
