This is a sequel for The new student. Some of you asked and well, it was always a plan to make one.

Aria's POV:

Over the course of four years, Aria Montgomery has been working on getting her degree in English lit. And now, at the age of 24 She has finally landed her first teaching job in the states of, Pennsylvania. Rosewood, Pennsylvania to be exact.

She remembers going through a student exchange program, when she was 17 and having met someone she thought that she would never lose contact with. But she was the one that pushed him away, Aria was the one that never returned any phone calls, emails, or even text messages regarding him. And for good reason, so that's what she thought.

Aria and Spencer, found coverage in each other. Spencer, was the only one out of all the people she made friends with that she would talk too. Emily, was on special occasions and Hanna, was a different story. Whenever Aria, would talk to her it was mostly about getting Hanna something from Russia.

Aria attended the University of Moscow, while she was attending there. She majored in English and Art.

"So, your picking me up tomorrow right?" Aria, asked over the phone as she packed up the last of her stuff.

"Yes, Aria relax. I will be at the airport, you know me. I'm always on time." Spencer, giggled and let out a sigh after. "I can't wait to get you back here,"

Smiling Aria, zipped up her bag and looked around the room. "I know, it's like-"

"A dream?" Spencer finished off for her, "But you do know, Ezra is teaching here too right?"

Aria sighed, "Yes, you told me this only every time we talked."

"He asked about you again." Spencer told her, "Why don't you just tell him?"

"Because, I had already broken his heart!" Aria replied walking over to the fridge and talking out her sandwich she made earlier. "What am I supposed to do if we run into each other?"

Spencer laughed, "Tell him the truth, what else is there?"

Their conversation went on for another few minutes, before Spencer had to start her shift at the Rosewood general Hospital.

Aria's Flight had just landed and she was waiting in baggage claim when she felt six pairs of arms wrapped around her in each and every direction.

"I can't believe your back." Hanna, squealed,

"Hey, guys." Aria, laughed. "I thought you were going to wait for my phone call?" She questioned Spencer,

"What, no hello for me?" Emily, pouted.

"I missed you too Em, but aren't you supposed to be in China or something?"

Emily, shook her head, " I got a teaching job instead. I work as the head coach for the woman swimming team at the high school." She clapped,

"How does it feel?"

Emily giggled, "Great. I loved High School and now-"

"Enough," Spencer rolled her eyes, "What about me?" She opened her arms and pulled Aria in for a single hug, "I have missed you so much."

The four of them spent another half hour waiting on bags, when finally they all had filed into the car. Spencer, drove them to Aria's new apartment that was in the same building as Emily. It amazes Aria, that Spencer was able to get her an apartment, on such sort notice.

"So what do you think?" Hanna, asked when they placed all four suit cases on the ground next to the door.

"It's beautiful, Thank you. All of you," She smiled. Spencer was able to get the last apartment available. It's a new apartment complex, and from what Emily was telling her. She was on the waiting list for a year before even getting her apartment.

It was a two bedroom apartment, with a small view of the park. Perfect for people watching, something that Aria liked to do ever since she started working on her books. Even though she never published anything, she still had high hopes of doing so someday.

Spencer, Hanna and Emily. Had helped Aria, unpack a little. It was a long flight and all Aria wanted to do was sleep, Spencer had given Aria a bed as a welcome back gift and Hanna and Emily pitched in for some furniture, Such as. A couch a T.V. and a micorwave. The apartment had already come with an Ice-box and a small stove.

As the night winded down, Aria made her necessary phone calls. Her grandmother made her promise that she was going to call as soon as she had gotten settled.

The next morning had brought Aria new joy. It was nine o'clock when she had woken up in with the brightly lit-sun, pipping through her window. That was the one thing Aria needed, curtains.

Groaning she got off her new bed, and walked over to the bathroom. She had ran the shower and gotten ready for the day. It was a brand new semester and she was ready to get right in. First, she needed to get an agenda for the year ready. Although Aria had her lesson plans mapped out, she always new that there were room for change.

After getting ready she met Spencer at the local grille, before going over to the book store. Once inside, they were met with the sweet smile of old leather bound books. Aria, plastered a smile on her face.

"Like old times huh?" Spencer chuckled out, "How was your first night?"

Aria, sighed picking up a book on poetry, "It was quiet. I miss him, " She stated, picking up another poetry at the same time.

"You should talk to Ezra, you know he will be working at the same school?" Spencer stated once again.

"When are you going to stop?" Aria spat, "I heard enough of Ezra, this and Ezra, that."

Spencer nodded, "I'm sorry. But I just think he has a right to know that your back in town and-"

"Stop." Aria turned around and glared at Spencer, "If I see him I will tell him,"

"Well, now is a good time because he just walked in." Spencer smirked.

Ezra's POV:

Over the last few years, Ezra has done nothing but focused on his studies. He attended Hollis College with his best friends. Even thought Caleb at managed to get into MIT with his abilities to hack into any web sight know to internet, they gave him a full ride.

Ezra, never knew what he did wrong with Aria. How can Hanna and Caleb, make a long distance relationship last, and he couldn't even get Aria to answer one of his phone calls.

Over the years, Aria had at least tried to get a hold of Aria. When finally, her number and email had changed. He even cornered her uncle at Hollis trying to find some sort of information regarding her. But he wouldn't give up and info, and than there was Spencer. Spencer and her constant, sneaking around whenever she had gotten a phone call or text.

Waking up this morning, he let the sun that was shinning through his window blind him a little. Even though he hated it, he knew it was the only way for him to get out of bed.

Finally, giving up of just laying there. He had gotten ready for his day and met up with some of his college buddies for a late breakfast. He has spent an hour there, talking about current events and than headed over to the Book store. Ezra, had gotten a job at the local High School, but little did he know. Aria, would be working right along side with him.

Walking into that book store was supposed to be his get away. Ever since Aria, had left. Ezra walked into that book store at least three times this week, thinking if one day he would see Aria, standing before him. But waking up this morning he would have never imagine that day was today.

"Ezra," Aria, breathe out and looked at Spencer, "How are you?"

The question had ran through his brain but no words were forming. Ezra, stood there dumbstruck as to a beautiful woman that he once knew was standing before him.

"Okay, this is awkward" Spencer, mumbled. "Maybe we should leave," Spencer, tugged on Aria's arm as the two of them stared at each other.

"Aria," Ezra, finally finding his voice said," What are you doing here?"

Aria, shrugged. "It's a book store," She joked, but Ezra wasn't having any of it. He wanted to know why, all the promises they had made together, were broken.

"You left?" He looked at her confused, Aria nodded, "I had gotten nothing from you."

"I know," Aria looked at the book in her hands, and started to read the back. She looked back up at Ezra, who was looking at the book in her hands, "Is this you?"

"Yeah, but that doesn't matter. I want to know what happen? I have spent years thinking about you?" Hurt was caught in his voice, and it didn't go unnoticed.

"I can't do this right now. I have to go!" Aria, stated placing the book down on the table and picked up her ringing phone. She walked out the door and Spencer turned to Ezra, with an apologetic smile.

"You knew she was coming and you said nothing," Ezra, yelled and got a deep glare from the clerk, "How could you do this to me?"

"I couldn't tell you, I promised Aria. Just wait till she talks to you, you'll understand." She patted his shoulder before walking out.

That following afternoon, Ezra was upset and pulling him self away from the group. Over the years they were talking with Aria, the one person that He was trying to get a hold of and they have said nothing to Him. Every time He brought up Aria's name, they would just change the subject or tell Him to move on. No where down the line did they once tell Him, that Aria was returning.

It a quarter till six and Rosewood High School is giving a banquet dinner. Nothing really formal so we didn't have to dress up for it. They just wanted to welcome the six new teachers that will be working here this coming school year.

"So how are you Ezra?" Emily, asked

Ezra scoffed and turned in the opposite direction, facing his back toward her. "What's wrong?" Emily, tried again.

"Like you don't know?" He may be acting a little childish, but that's exactly how he felt. He felt as if he was 8 again and no one would tell him anything.

"I really don't," Emily placed a hand on his shoulder, "Tell me, were best friends,"

"Then why didn't you tell me Aria was back?" Ezra, hissed in a lower voice, "Why did I run into her at a book store? How long have you girls been talking with her?" His questions were honest and it came out of his mouth like word vomit.

Emily a little taken back, looked at him with wide eyes, "When?"

"Yesterday," He titled his head, "Why didn't you guys, just tell me."

Emily, opened her mouth to say something but Aria had beat her to it, "Because I told them not too." Ezra, spun on his heel and looked Aria in the eyes. Standing at 5'2" tall was a beautiful angel in Ezra's eyes, although he's upset and angry. He can never get over the though of getting back with her.

Aria nodded in Emily's direction, She wanted to be alone and be able to tell Ezra the truth. She wanted to be able to say the real reason why she didn't come back.

"I was ashamed," Aria looked around the room full of people she hadn't met yet, "I'm sorry."

Ezra, showed no sign of forgiveness. He thought he knew her. He thought that they would be living this happily ever after kind of thing, but nothing. "I don't believe you."

Aria looked at him in shock, "Well that's up to you, I can't change your mind." She stated before turning around and taking a few steps.

"Your seeing someone aren't you?"

Sorry for any mistakes. I tried to get all of them, but if I missed some than please forgive me.

Don't forget to review!
