Aria pulled up into the driveway of the Hastings Manor. She knew it was silly, but she always felt so small compared to the house. She could hear the clicking sound of her boot heels on the hard oak porch.
"Spence?" Aria called as she opened the door. "Spencer! Are you here?" No answer. She was about to leave when she heard footsteps and the door open.
"Aria? What are you doing here?"
"I came to see if you were coming to Em's tonight. Where were you just now?" Aria asked.
"Oh.... I was out for a run."
Aria looked down at Spencer's feet. She was wearing a pair of navy blue Toms. Aria knew perfectly well that Spencer had a pair of Nikes in her closet and wouldn't go running without them. Spencer was lying.
The two left the house and drove off to Emily's, where she and Hanna were waiting for them.
