Okay so I forgot to put this in the last chapter: I don't own Pretty Little Liars. If I did, Ezra would have had an affair with Spencer a long time ago (just for the drama, I really do love Ezria). Also I just want to say that A will not be featured in this story. Maybe... I also read the last chapter and noticed that some words were missing. I'll do my best to make sure that doesn't happen again. I also want to thank EmilySpencer for giving me my first review:) Now enjoy the show (story)!
Before I knew it Friday was already here. It was the last period of the day when I got a text from Aria. Hey babe, be at the restaurant at 7, k? Last night when Aria and I were talking on the phone we decided that we would arrive at Simon's, the restaurant, separately. Since she was spending the afternoon with Emily she was just going to catch a ride with her and Paige.
When I got home it was only 4 o'clock. I decided to put some music on and pick out an outfit to wear for tonight. I put my IPod in the dock and put it on shuffle. 'America's Suiteheart' by Fall Out Boy started playing through the speakers. In some ways this song has reminded me of my past girlfriends. Jackie being the number one example. She seems so kind and down to Earth once you meet her but after awhile she turned, for lack of a better word bitchy. I'm just happy Aria isn't like that. I hope.
Looking in my closet I realized I have to face one of the biggest challenges in my life. What to wear. If I don't wear the right thing Aria won't exactly be pleased. Simon's isn't an over the top fancy restaurant but isn't a place I can just show up in jeans and an old T-shirt. "What the hell do you wear when you go out with your teenage girlfriend to meet up with her teenage friends?" I asked myself. Can I pull of calling Aria and saying that I'm too sick to go? Probably not. She'll see right through my act. Maybe some black slacks, a dress shirt, a tie, and a vest? At this point I don't care if I look like I'm going to work anything is better then me going naked.
After taking a shower I put on the clothes I laid out earlier. Black slacks, a white button down, a red tie, and a black vest. After putting on dress shoes I walked out of my room and went to the kitchen. I'm never going to get through this night without at least a shot of alcohol. Pouring myself a nice sized glass of bourbon, I pondered why I'm so against this dinner. I know all of kids and I teach most of them. I should have no reason to be nervous. Yet here I am shaking so much that the liquid in my cup is tipping over the edge and wetting my hand. Swallowing the alcohol and drying my hands I grabbed my keys and wallet and walked out the door. Getting into my car I turned on the radio and looked for a station to listen to on my 30 minute drive to Philly. I soon found a station that was playing The Killers.
Half an hour later I pulled up to Simon's. I went to the valet parking area. It would be easier to just pay the twenty dollars and be reasonably late then drive around the parking lot for twenty minutes and be rudely late. After giving the driver my keys I went into the restaurant and up to the hostesses stand. Once I gave her Aria's name she led me to the table with eight place settings. It seems I was the last one to arrive, surprising right? Aria didn't seem to notice I was there until I sat on her right and gave her a kiss on the cheek. On her left was Hanna who she was talking to at the time. Caleb was next to Hanna on her left. Across from Caleb was Paige, next to Paige was Emily. On Emily's left was Toby and next to Toby and directly across from me was Spencer.
This sure as hell is going to be an interesting night.
I know this is short but it's only a filler chapter for what's going to happen next.
