<div style="text-align: justify;">Aria told the group that she had to go and he could only smile when she touched his arm right before she left. He had interpretated the touch as a sign that she liked his company but he didn't know if he was right with that conclusion. Eating a little and thinking about Aria's move he didn't really follow the conversation that went on between Natalie and his friend Darrell. The two seemed to keep the conversation going quite well.<br/><br/>Before he realized what happened someone he didn't know started talking to Natalie. He hadn't noticed that the blonde girl had started the conversation. As the other men asked who the new  friends of Natalie were he reacted "I'm Alan. Me and my friends were planning to go to LA for a few days but our car broke down and the mechanic seems to be out of town. I don't think I've heard your name yet."</div>
