Alison
Alison was sitting down in the cafeteria, surrounded by people listening to her stories. It was her first day and she already had half of the office waiting to talk to her. She knew socializing wouldn't be a problem so she used it to her advantage. "It's really cold in here", she said rubbing her hands up and down her arms. A man with glasses and freckles stood and began to take off his sweater which revealed his slacks above the waist like Urkel. Alison laughed to herself and took the sweater.
"Thanks uhh-"
"Greg", he said quickly.
"So what did he do after you broke up with him for her?", one of the ladies said, who was interested in every story Alison told. "Well I we-", Alison saw Emily enter the cafeteria with a tall and short brunette next to her. The tall one was dressed very professional and the other was in a colorful dress. "I'll be back", she said standing up. They all made a sad face, "Don't worry my darlings, to be continued". She walked off and stood in front of the three girls.
Emily
"That's really amazing. Congrats Emily", Aria said. "Well I didn't get the trip yet so I can't be too excited", Emily said calmly. When she entered she saw Alison surrounded by at least 15 people at the corner of the cafeteria. She had never seen so many people together for lunch since they had free sushi Tuesdays. They sat down and before she could open her container a figure came into her peripheral vision. She looked up and saw Alison smiling, waiting for their attention. "Hey Alison", Emily said in a slightly high pitch. "Hey, who are your friends?", she said looking at the women next to her. Emily faced toward the two girls, "This is Spencer", putting her hand on her shoulder. "And this is Aria", pointing to the shorter one. They both waved at Alison. "Nice to meet you. What do you two do here?", Alison asked curiously. Aria and Spencer looked at each other to decide who would speak first. Spencer chose for the both of them and spoke, "Well, I am in charge of editing the the writing portions of the magazine before they make copies". Alison shook her head and switched her attention to Aria. "And I edit the photos that will be in the magazine". Alison gave an approving look and began to think hard about something. After a couple of seconds of silence, Alison started to speak. "There's a party in Westchester tonight and you guys should come. You seem like a fun group of people". The three girls have doubtful looks at each other. Emily thought it was a really bold move to ask three people she barely knew to come with her to a party. "I don't know", Spencer said on behalf of what they were all thinking. Alison pouted. "I know it's my first day here and all, but this will be a great way to break the ice and show you guys some of my life. What do you think Emily?", placing her hand on Emily's shoulder smiling in her direction. Emily's whole body tensed up and she quickly thought of something to say that could get her hand off before she would start sweating. "I think it's a great idea. C'mon guys it'll be fun", giving them pleading eyes. "Sure", they said in unision. Alison removed her hand from Emily's shoulder and placed it on her hip. "Great! Meet me in the lobby at six", and she walked off to her crowd.
"What the hell Em?!", Spencer said furiously
"Hey, it could be fun", Emily said in protest.
"The only reason you agreed is because you think she's cute".
Emily looked shocked, "That's not...Im...she's just...erm...okay fine she is but that doesn't mean it won't be fun".
"Sure", Spencer said with a fake smile.
*Later that day*
The three women were on their way to the lobby to meet Alison. When they arrived she was nowhere in sight. When the clock hit six each of their phones rang. They looked at each other and took out their phone. Emily looked at her notifications and saw a message from an unknown number. She clicked on it. Hey this is Alison. I'm outside. "How'd she get our numbers so fast?", Aria said in disbelief. Spencer shrugged, "She gets around". They exited the building and heard a loud honk. They all spotted a black Nissan waiting outside. Emily called shotgun and Aria and Spencer sat in the back. Alison greeted them with a warm smile and drove off.
Alison
Alison didn't think the trio would agree to go with her to the party. But thanks to Emily, they were on their way. When she hit a red light she used her peripheral vision to look at the brunette next to her. Emily was staring outside of the window with her skin glowing and eyes sparkling. Alison thought some girls were pretty, but Emily was beautiful. Alison thought back to see Emily's smile but was interrupted by a honk behind her. She continued to drive and Emily's eyes left the window to look at her. "Are you okay?" , she said almost whispering. "Yeah, I'm fine".
