Emily is in biology class sitting alone at a table. As she's getting ready to take out her notes she sees a beautiful girl with long curly blonde hair walk in class. Emily looks away as the beautiful blonde walks toward her and sits.
Girl: Hey. I'm Alison! I just moved here.
Emily: Hi. I'm Emily. Where are you from?
Alison: Georgia.
Emily: Oh. Cool.
A few seconds go by.
Alison: (Takes out her notebook.) So, why are you sitting by yourself?
Emily: I'm not. You're here.
Alison: Don't be such a smart ass. I mean before I sat down.
Emily: Because all the other seats are taken.
Alison: Not that seat next to that cute boy! Why didn't you sit next to him?
Emily: I'm not into him.
Alison: Why? He's so hot!
Emily: Yeah but… (Emily looks down at her notebook)
Teacher: Table by table, please get up and get a lab apron and goggles.
Alison: Oh, I see. You play for the other team?
Emily: No. I just don't want to date anyone
Teacher: The gloves are over here. Emily and Alison's table, your turn.
Alison and Emily walk up to the closet and reach for the aprons. They then walk over to the box holding the goggles.
Alison: (Whispering to Emily…) Why are you getting so defensive?
Teacher: Girls, less chatting please.
Emily: (Whispering) I'm not. And why are you asking so many questions? Like you care.
Alison: (She pauses and then walks behind Emily back to her seat) How do you know if I care or not?
Emily: Because I know you don't.
Alison: So you're a mind reader?
Emily: No. Can we just please start working?
Alison: Yeah. Sure. Whatever.
As 45 minutes go by, the bell for the next class rings.
Emily: Bye.
Alison: Bye. (Alison looks down at her roster) I know you're mad at me but do you know where room 210 is?
Emily looks at her roster.
Emily: Yeah umm, follow me.
Alison: Okay.
Emily sees her best friends Hanna and Spencer in the hallway.
Emily: Hey guys!
Hanna: Hey Em.
Emily: Are you guys still on for tomorrow night?
Spencer: You know it! And you are?
Alison: I'm Alison. Nice to meet you!
Hanna: I'm Hanna.
Spencer: And I'm Spencer. Nice to meet you too.
The girls proceed to walk down the hallway into Mr. Fitz's class.
Emily sits down next to Spencer and Hanna and Alison sits in the front.
Mr. Fitz: Good morning class! Everyone please take out your Lord of the Flies books.
Hanna: I don't have a book.
Mr. Fitz: Well come up and get one Ms. Marin.
Hanna: Ms. Marin is my mom. (She gives a snarky smile to Mr. Fitz as she walks up to the front of the class.) You need one too?
Alison: Yeah. Thanks.
Hanna: Here you go. I love your nails by the way.
Alison: Thanks.
Mr. Fitz: (Passing out papers) I want you guys to find a partner and complete this venn diagram about how Ralph and Jack. How are they similar and how are they different. No more than three to a group.
Alison looks around as everyone groups up, she is left by herself.
Emily looks at Alison with an apologetic look on her face.
Boy: Hey. You want to be partners?
Alison: Sure.
Boy: I'm Noel by the way.
Alison: I'm Alison.
Noel: So, where are you from?
Alison: I'm from Georgia.
Noel: Really? You don't have an accent.
Alison: That's because I moved here when I was 7.
Noel: What school did you go to before you came here then?
Alison: I went to school in Philly.
Noel: Cool.
1 minute before the bell for lunch rings
Mr. Fitz: Okay class so for homework, I want you guys to write an essay about anything you please. Make sure it is appropriate. (Glances at Noel.)
Noel: What? You said anything I wanted so I did an essay on how Hooters impacted my life.
Bell for lunch rings.
Emily, Hanna and Spencer meet their other friend Aria at their usual table.
Spencer: Hey Aria! What's up?
Aria: Hey guys. Just not feeling so well, that's why I wasn't in Fitz's class. My mom is supposed to be picking me up early.
Emily: Hope you feel better!
Hanna: Yeah, Aria. Feel better!
Aria: Thanks guys.
Spencer: Can I get you anything?
Aria: A water, please? Thanks Spence!
The girls walk over to the lunch line.
Alison: Hey stranger!
Emily: Oh hey.
Alison: Sorry about earlier.
Emily: It's fine.
Alison: I didn't mean to offend you. I was just trying to communicate. I don't have any friends here and I was just…
Emily: You don't have to explain yourself. I'm sorry for getting upset.
Alison: Apology accepted.
Emily: I can be your friend if you want. You can hang out with me and the girls tomorrow if you want.
Alison: Thanks. I'll think about it.
Emily: Well let me know if you want to.
Alison: Sure.
Emily walks back to the table where Aria is as Alison walks to a table with an empty seat.
Aria: (smiling)
Emily: What?
Aria: I saw you talking to that girl.
Emily: Yeah, so?
Aria: She new here? She's pretty cute. You like her?
Emily: What? No.
Aria: Awww Emily has a crush (She makes kissing faces at Emily.)
Hanna: A crush on who?
Emily: No one.
Spencer: I saw the way you looked at her! You're totally in love. Here you go Aria.(she hands Aria the water.
Hanna: Why don't you go talk to her?
Emily: And say what? "I'm gay. Be my girlfriend."
Hanna: Well you never know until you try.
Emily: Seriously Hanna?
Loud Speaker: Aria Montgomery, please report to the office for early dismissal. Aria Montgomery, please report to the office for early dismissal.
Aria: Bye guys.
Girls:Bye!
Spencer: Just go talk to her.
Emily: No guys.
Hanna: If you don't, I'll go talk to her for you. (She smiles then begins to walk over to Alison.)
Emily: HANNA!
Alison looks up at the girls
Hanna: (She turns around and smiles at Emily.) I wasn't really going to do it.
Emily: (She puts her head down.) Guys, she's looking over here. I'm gonna kill you Hanna.
Hanna: I love you too!
Alison looks at Emily again and begins to smile.
Emily smiles back and then eats her lunch.
The bell for lunch rings and the girls get up and go to class.
Alison: I saw you smiling at me.
Emily: You smiled at me first. I didn't wanna be rude.
Alison: We should hang out later. I live on Bjorlin street.
Emily: Really? I do to!
Alison: All the more reason to hang out (She smiles at Emily.)
