AN: Hi there Fanfiction! After a super long haitus, I'm back with stories about Pretty Little Liars. Aria is my favourite character on the show, and I like both her and Noel and her and Ezra. I know in the books she ends up with one of them... (I won't say who for spoilers reasons) and I feel that those two are meant to be together. Anyways, this is *i think* the first Noel/Aria fanfic here for the show. This is going to be a twoshot... I'll add more if you want.

This first part is short, yes, and it will take place before Aria leaves for Iceland. For those who have read the books, I think you'll get it a bit more.

7th Grade.

Noel Khan has always liked a darker girl. And by that, he simply means darker hair. A tan is a plus, but pale can be pretty too. In fact, the only blond girl he ever thought was pretty was Alison DiLaurentis. Of course, he knew that she was a type A bitch, and too high maintenance for him. Or anybody, for that matter.

He knows she feels he's a bit… immature. But she's the one who goes off sneaking around with older guys, just to prove she can get with them. Pathetic. As stereotypical a boy Noel seems, he's actually the opposite.

Maybe that's why he's attracted to Aria Montgomery; school freak. The girl who knits hats out of puke-colored tangles of yarn; who reads almost on a daily basis… probably sketches unknowing passerby at Rosewood Park.

But she's also beautiful- in a nonmainstream way. The way her seemingly black hair seems to reflect blue in the sunlight. And how her chocolate brown eyes sparkle when she smiles. That might sound stupid, cheesy. But it's true.

He doesn't get it… why on earth did he fall for her? The one girl in the whole world who wouldn't fall for him no matter how he played his cards. He was hot- yes, undeniably so. He was smart, but that didn't matter, with his parents' money, college was no big deal. Yes, he was rich, too. Ridiculously so. And of course, he was kind. On the outside. Being surrounded by people constantly everyday wasn't exactly his definition of fun.

No one ever picked up on that, granted, but he didn't expect them to. He knew it was all petty. If he was a freak, he would be alone, instantly. Glancing across the park, he sees Aria.

The pretty girl notices him staring, and smiles. And in an instant, he knows what to do.

"Hey."

"Oh… hey." Unexpected smiles, chattering. Yes… Noel Khan likes Aria Montgomery, and one day, he'll show her.

Hope you enjoyed that- I did enjoy writing that. :) it did come out a bit jumbled, maybe I'll clean it up later. but it was spur of the moment and I am pleased. Leave reviews, they make stories come faster! Check out my other stories too :)
