[Takes place a little after Ali met Jenna in the costume store]
Emily's POV:
Em, where are you going? - Ali
I turn and see my best friend in the costume store doorway. Ali is just leaning against the doorway, Damn she looks so hot today. Wait what are you doing Emily answer her!
Me? Oh no where just to lunch with Ben he wants to ask me something. - Emily
Hmmm, of course he does. Let me walk you there. - Ali
Ali starts walking up to me. She smiles while she is talking. I get a whiff of her perfume. Nothing smells better than Ali. She reminds me of a walking candle. Hot, flame-y and can hurt yet she is also warm and smells good. I smiled back at her.
Okay sure. - Emily
So, I was thinking, you and Ben. Do you really like him sweetie? - Ali
She looks at me skeptically. Then she links her arm in mine and I couldn't help but notice. I watched her and I looked into her eyes. She noticed and turned. Her eyes became less inviting and her wall was back up.
Hello, Em... You ever going to answer? - Ali
What? Oh, why not Ben? He is nice and he is a swimmer, he understands that. - Emily
Yes, but if you wanted you could have nearly any guy you wanted Em. Just because you are my friend and you have a rocking body. - Ali
We turn the corner and Jason bumps into us. Ali's face changes to a hostile mode.
What are you doing here Jason, what could possibly be important enough for you to emerge from your mannish drug cave? - Ali
Ha-ha, nice to see you too Ali. I would have stayed home only mom wanted me to come and collect you. She is angry, and I think it has something to do with a particular blonde. - Jason
You mean Ali? - Emily
No, if I meant Ali I would have said Ali. - Jason
Jason looks at me with piercing eyes, he had this expression on his face that made me think of Spencer. She used this same stare when she is trying to convince the teachers to give her an A+ instead of an A. Jason looks at Ali again. He takes his hand out of his pocket and grabs Ali's hand she pulls it away immediately.
Get your filthy drug covered hands off of me Jason! - Ali
That's funny, now lets go. - Jason
He takes her hand again, this time he holds on tightly. She starts to smack his hand to make him release but he didn't. He turns and he points his finger at Ali.
Just come on, god stop being such a pain in the ass, Ali. God! What will it take for you to come back to the house? - Jason
You need to give us transportation to tonight's party. In your car. - Ali
Alright done. Now lets go. Emily, good to see you, goodbye. - Jason
Um, yeah you too. - Emily
Alright I have to go Em, I will see you tonight sweetie, and think about what I you know, Ben. When you realize I'm right we can talk about other guys, more deserving of you. - Ali
Uh, alright then Ali. See you tonight. - Emily
She smiles and follows Jason back home. I watch her leave before I turn my attention back to getting to Ben. I begin to cross the street I look both ways and then run to the other side. I wasn't looking one way so I happened to bump into a dark brunette girl holding a bag. We both fell over. She began to gather her stuff. I started helping. Oh geez, I'm going to be so late, I hope Ben won't be mad.
God, thanks now I'm going to be late. - Girl
What? I'm sorry, I didn't see you. You think you're the only one who's going to be late? - Emily
Obviously... I'm just kidding. - Girl
She starts to giggle, I think it was because I was gathering her things like a maniac.
Oh. I'm sorry. - Emily
I look down embarrassed. The girl looks at me and then moves herself so she would be in my view.
Hey, don't worry about it. - Girl
She smiles, and I smile back. This girl was beautiful, she was so different. Nothing like Ali, but she is really something. I looked into her eyes, they were so beautiful and green. I got lost in them for a few moments until, well until she started talking again. I picked up a costume. I didn't see it exactly only that it was bright red. I handed it to her smiling. She smiled and took it.
Thanks. - Girl
So... I don't recognize you are you new? - Emily
Actually I am. Hi, I'm Jenna. Jenna Marshall. - Jenna
She holds her hand out, expecting me to shake it. I panic and stand then take her hand helping her up. I don't think she was expecting me to help her up. I pick up her bag and hand it to her.
Oh, thanks. - Jenna
She looks at me, and then raises her eyebrow. At that moment I realize I didn't introduce myself.
Oh, I'm sorry my name is Emily. Emily Fields. Its nice to meet you Jenna. - Emily
Like wise. So, I have been invited to a party tonight. Noel someone. - Jenna
What? Oh, yeah Noel Khan. He throws a big party every year. How'd you get an invite if you're new? - Emily
I look at her with confusion. It took Ali two weeks to convince Noel to invite Aria, Spencer, Hannah, and me. But Noel could never resist a hot girl like Jenna. I wouldn't... I mean she seems nice so, that's why I would invite her. Plus she is new... Oh Emily admit it she is hot.
I don't know I just did I guess. Ha-ha. Anyway I take it you are going too? - Jenna
Oh yeah, I'll be there. What are you going as? Wait, let it be a surprise. - Emily
Okay, ha-ha do you have a date? - Jenna
A date? Uh, no not yet, but I think this guy will ask me out. Who I am late to go see actually. Oh my gosh. I'm sorry I have to go. Look I hope you come tonight. Maybe I can introduce you to some people. - Emily
Um, yeah... Sorry to keep you. I guess I will just see you tonight then. - Jenna
She smiles a little and touches my shoulder before we depart. I keep watching her as she crosses the street. Damn, she looks really great in those short shorts. And that shirt looks, uh I could just. What? What could I just... Em snap out of it. I wonder what Ali would think about Jenna...
