"Come on, Lor. Instead of just lazing on the couch all day, you could help me clean up the dance that I never even got to attend," Rebekah pouted.
Lorrie sighed and sat up. "Fine. I'll go. As long as you stop trying to guilt trip me."

Lorrie was perched on one of the many tables with a bag of pretzels that Rebekah bribed her with. She glanced up at the doors as they swung open, revealing Caroline. The blond had yet to notice Lorrie.
"Where's Matt?" Caroline questioned the Original.
"He bailed. Got called into work at the last minute."

Lorrie ate another pretzel and gazed at Caroline in confusion when the girl froze up.
"What's wrong?"
She was left without an answer as the blond rushed out of the gym at vamp-speed. Lorrie hadn't been expecting that, so she dropped the pretzel she was about to eat.
