It took Aria her normal amount of time to get ready. She needed the appropriate amount of time to accept the fact that she was going to have to go to school.

"The first day of Senior year", she thought. She was both nervous and excited.

Upset, Aria thought of her relationship status as she rolled off her mattress, and out from under the covers. "Single" she muttered. She'd only been upset because her friends had been perstering her for months about being the only single one out of her small group of friends.

Hanna had Lucas, one most unexpected pair; Emily had Maya, which Aria wasn't sure she accepted, but she looked at Maya as a very feminine man; and of course Spencer, the over achiever, who had lucked out in love by falling for her sisters ex fiance, Wren.

Aria always wanted to have a lasting relationship, of course, the only time she got close was with Noel Kahn.

Aria rolled her eyes at the memory of the night of their first date, their first kiss. She felt sick at the memory.

"Luckily that ass hole is where he damn well belongs" She thought, but quickly pushed the thought away in worry that she'd lose all hope in having a great last first day at Rosewood High.

After showering and curling her hair to perfection, Aria pulled on a bra and some panties, then made her way over to her closet and began to examine her brand new wardrobe full of outfits she'd never warn before.

After a moment of staring into her closet blankly, she thought of Alison. How she'd promise her that she'd make an impression on her first day of senior year.

She pulled out a dress bag, still tied around the neck of the hanger. After removing the bag, she looked pleased as she examined the dress.

"Perfect," she mouthed.
