Are lies safe to keep or are they worth only telling your best friends and hope to god they don't get out? Well that is the case for four well it use to be five, but that is another story, for four teenage girls living in the Rosewood community. Many people believe that having secrets are dreadful things to have, but we do all have them but they don't get out, or it they do it takes time for it to do so. Some people say that one day, telling and spreading secrets will one day come and bitch slap you in the face, in other words….. You can run but you can't hide.
Only after just one day coming back from a holiday from Iceland, Aria Montgomery is finding it hard to fit back into the Rosewood community, a community where the people inside it tend to judge a book by its cover and never think back once on their pervious judgment.
Aria, who is the older sister of Mike Montgomery and the only daughter of Ella & Bryon Montgomery, had many unbelievable, incredible and fantastic memories over in Iceland, not only was the people within the neighbourhood much more nicer then the citizens living in Rosewood, she was able to forget the big secret of her father cheating on her mother, a huge secret which could crush her entire family into pieces but thankfully only her and her father know. And not only that but she was of course able to escape (not entirely) the death of her former best friend, Alison DiLaurentis.
Every day over in Iceland, Aria always thought of Alison who was murdered back when her and her three other friends, Spenser, Emily and Hanna were only 15.
Now 16, Aria is looking forward to focusing on her school work, catching up with her friends and of course looking forward to mingle and start a serious relationship with someone, who that someone is she doesn't know and when will she find the special someone, she doesn't know, but she hopes it is sooner rather then later.
After only being back from Iceland for one day and with school resuming in only two days, it gave only Aria to days to get over all the jetlag she has from her long flight. Sleeping in a deep sleep, tucked in her pink and purple blankets, laying in a straight position, her digital clock read the time of '7:56 am" – four minutes away from 8 am. All of a sudden, footsteps could be heard from outside of Aria's bed room door. Not knowing that someone was getting closer and closer by the second to where she was laying, the door suddenly opened, making a grinding noise as it does, this mystery person proceeds to get closer to Aria. Breathing rather heavily and walking rather shaky, still unknown to Aria, the bright red writing on the digital clock changed to "8:00am" and as soon as it did, the person jumps onto her bed and in a rather loud, sarcastic and cocky way yelled "GET UP."
With the words coming out of this person, Aria quickly jumped before quickly letting out a rather high pitched scream. Realizing that the person that just scared the living days out of her was none other then her overconfident and swaggering younger brother, Mike, Aria let out a rather loud sigh know coming to terms that she was apart of some sort of joke.
With Mike who can't stop himself laughing and still on top of her diminutive legs, she pushes him of her bed, before opening her mouth and speaking in a rather questionable matter. "What do you want Mike, you know that school starts in two days and it takes me like over a week to get over jetlag." With Aria looking rather miserable, Mike begins to answer her question "Well, I actually have hockey practice and mom and dad said you can drive me, so get up princess, because it starts in like fifteen minutes and it takes over twenty minutes to get there with your slow driving."
"You deserve to get there late" Aria quickly replied in a rather annoyed tone. Getting up and out of bed in her pyjamas, she and Mike proceed to go down the long curly stairs, after reaching the bottom, Aria gathers her car keys. "What are you doing Aria, you haven't even brushed your hair, are you seriously going out in public looking like that?" Mike was right, Aria hadn't brushed her hair and she was going out in public looking like that? What was she thinking, was her brain functioning? "I am only going to be dropping you off and then coming back home, what could possibly go wrong?"
Everything. Everything was going wrong for Aria, to being stuck in traffic on her way to the hockey oval and possibly what she was never expecting, seeing her old crush, Noel Kahn. After dropping off Mike and wishing him good luck, she begin to turn up the radio and started to burst out a couple of lyrics to the song blasting on the car radio before noticing in the corner of her eye on the left side mirror, she would see Noel Kahn and a bunch of his friends laughing, joking and walking towards the car, the very car that Aria was placed in.
Back in the seventh to the tenth grade, Aria had a enormous crush on Noel, it was that big that pretty much very student that attended Rosewood High School knew that Aria had feelings for him, every student other then Noel of course.
But with Noel fast approaching, she didn't know what to do, where to go, slightly, in fact, very embarrassed that her former crush, Noel, could get a sight of Aria, without her hair done, without any make up or without brushing her teeth, she dipped down in her car seat, but it was a little to late as "Oh my, Aria is that you?" could have been heard from a voice coming outside of the car. As Aria started to slide up she thought to herself "Oh crap" before answering "Yes, yes it is."
With a smile being placed on Aria's face, it was more rather then fake smile then anything as all she wanted to do was get out of this awkward situation. Noel with a huge smirk on his face begins to yet again speak "Wow you haven't changed one bit, and I see you still don't seem to care about your look, nice pony pyjamas by the way." With the comment coming out of Noel's mouth, his friends surrounding him started to giggle. As Aria began to speak to Noel, he cut her of at the last second.
"So what brings you to the hockey oval?" At last, something that came out of Noel Kahn's mouth that wasn't being smart. "Oh….. I….. Just dropped of Mike, he has practice. Which reminds me, I better get going, still…. Need some more sleep; jetlag is killing me at the moment. Bye" – Aria answered very nervously.
And as soon as bye came out of the mouth of Aria, of she went, getting out of this situation as soon as she could, with Aria wondering off, a rather confused look come on the face of Noel but as soon as Aria went, him and his friends proceed to the hockey oval getting ready for practice.
On her drive home, she wondered past the former house of Alison DiLaurentis, driving past the house that once Alison use to live in, it gave Aria such a cold feeling, the hair on the back of her neck rose and she started to get Goosebumps, a feeling that Aria disliked very much.
Though driving past Alison's house, it reminded her of her former best friends, with school resuming only in two days, she obviously was very much looking forward to catching up with her friends, and showing how much that she has changed, despite Noel Khan not seeing it.
But with Aria and her family being in Iceland for the past year, she was expecting a much bigger change with the people that were once deemed to be her best friends for life. She had no clue that Hanna, Spenser and Emily were no longer best friends and if she thought her change in her personality and looks was a huge dissimilarity; boy is she in for a shock.
