Chapter One: The summer before High school

Aria's POV

Aria Montgomery, a spunky 14- year old teen with dark brown hair (a few strips of pink hair dye in it) and big chocolate brown eyes, was currently on her way to her best friend Allison (Allie) Di' Laurentis' house to met up before heading to Noel Kahn's famous Kahn party.

Now parties aren't really Aria's thing but with friends like Allison, Spencer, Emily, and Hanna she had no choice but to go, though she refused to get all dressed up for it. Aria was now walking up the familiar driveway of her best friends house and she noticed all three cars were parked out front: One for Allie's dad, and another for her mother, and the last for Allies brother Jason.

Now Aria knows she has a little crush on Jason, though as long as she's breathing she'll never admit it. Its just Jason is a humongous druggie. So much as to Aria can't remember the last time she saw him and his hazel eyes weren't glazed over. The drugs pissed Aria off to no end because she knew he was better than that. He had so much potential.

After opening the front door and saying a quick hello to Allie's mom and dad, she headed upstairs to Allie's room where the girls were undoubtedly worrying about how to style their hair and what shoes would match their newly bought dress. She slowly opened Allie's door only to see all the girls turn to gape at her.

" I thought you were kidding when you said you weren't going to get all dressed up!" Allison screeched. She gave me a disapproving look. The same look she used to give Hanna when she went to grab a cookie, though now Hanna is skinny, with a lot of help from Allie.

" OMG! Aria, you should be ashamed of yourself that's the same thing you wore all day!" Hanna said in a snooty tone. Did I mention I hate it when girls go 'OMG!' I mean why don't they just say the whole word… or better yet not say anything at all.

" Look I don't see anything wrong with my outfit! And it's only some stupid party that I don't even want to go to in the first place! So back off cause I'm not changing!" I tried to say it as calmly as I could but I got a little loud towards the end. I mean I couldn't see what was wrong with what I was wearing. I had not to tight but not to loose shorts that went about halfway down my thighs and an over the shoulder black top that read 'Keep looking and I fuck you up' in the front and on the back it said 'but not in the way you want'. Then to top it all off I was wearing a white cap and black boots (with no heels), I had some lip-gloss on and a touch of mascara but that's all. See it's not that bad.

" The shirt Aria! I mean really." Spencer sighed and turned back to picking out her outfit. The only one who seemed amused was Emily, but that's because she's not into the whole 'it takes me 3 hours to get ready thing' either.

" The shirt is the best part!" I argued. I do that a lot, you know argue. I just like to always think I'm right.

" Whatever," Allie muttered as she joined the others in picking out her outfit. I rolled my eyes at her response I mean whatever? That is no way to end a conversation it means you're giving up. I decided not to bring it up though and took a seat on Allies pink (UGH!) desk chair. I hate pink. I like hot pink you know where it's really dark but light pink bothers me. I started rolling around in her chair, because I had nothing better to do.

I almost stopped when I heard the door open but then I saw it was only Allie's mom, Jessica. Her step-dad Kenneth was behind her.

" What do you want mother?" Allison said rudely. I will never understand how she can talk to her mom like that; I mean it is her mom. I call my mom and dad by their first names because they asked me to, not in a disrespectful way.

" Just wanted to let you know were going to be leaving in about a half an hour so if you want a ride you better get dressed." Her mom said in a defeated tone.

" No mom, we'll leave when I'm ready. Now go!" Allison said. And her mom obliged. Unable to contain myself I let my opinion flow free.

" Why do you talk to your mom like that?" I asked, and Allie turned to look at me with her falsely sweet face, one that most people actually fell for.

" Do you really think you have a right to judge the way I talk to my parents? I mean you do call them by their first names." She said talking in a baby voice toward the end, then letting out a giggle. I stood up and gave her my famous 'Bad Ass glare'. She didn't even flinch, probably because when I use it she's almost always on the receiving end.

" I call them that because they ask me too! You know very well I love my parents even though they've done some pretty bad shit to each other, and I would never disrespect them!" I said in a very stern voice. I saw the other girls looking back in forth between us, not able to pick a side for the fear they would lose the other as a friend.

" I think you have it all wrong Aria only one of you're parents did something fucked up to the other." She said while she laughed. I could feel the fire burning in my eyes as I looked at her she knew how long it had took me to put that memory behind me and she just loved to bring it up. I saw all the other girls giving me quizzical looks, but I just ignored them sat back down and turned away from Allie, trying to regain my cool.

It was turning out to be harder then I thought. I was caught in between being pissed or sad which meant tears were threatening to fall as I let my thoughts consumed me. Suddenly I was pulled back into the memory of that dreaded day.

Flashback: Last Year

"Aria!" Allie screeched as she came rushing towards me. "We've got to go to the new frozen yogurt place in Hollis. Come on!" She said while pulling on my arm, and despite myself I laughed at her childish antics.

"Aria? How much longer?" Allie complained ten minutes later for the umpteenth time in the past few minutes. I told her not to wear heels but she just said every suitable girl should wear them. I knew she was throwing that at me so I just snorted in response. We finally made it to the yogurt place and I entered only to see the most horrid sight ever. Every single wall was, light pink. I tried to turn around and leave but I was to late for Allie was already pulling me into the line, or should I say no line.

She ordered a small 1 scoop of low-fat strawberry ice cream, while I went for a large three-scoup yogurt full of cake batter, chocolate chip cookie dough, and coffee. Then I continued to pile on the toppings. Trust me when I say I'm not afraid to eat. If I gain weight I can just exercise and lose it.

We were currently walking on our way back to Rosewood. We decided against taking the route we took here because it seemed so long and I really wasn't in the mood for another ten minutes of Ali's (a/n I'm changing the way I spell her nickname sorry) constant bitching and moaning.

We could hear Mona calling us from behind and even though Mona had transformed just like Hanna Ali didn't like her that much. As we turned the corner of Thirteen Street and some other road I saw a car that looked exactly like my dad's parked on the side of the unknown road. I slowly stopped laughing and froze in my place stretching my neck to see in the car.

And I can promise you I would've taken Ali's bitching over what I saw. My dad, my supposedly ever faithful and loving father was letting some 20 year-old slut shove her tongue down his throat. My breath caught in my throat and it was one of those few times in my life when I couldn't control my emotions, and I hated that. So many questions were swarming in my brain, ones I would probably never get the answers to.

I felt Ali gently touch my arm, a gasp echoed from her lips and it was one of the times where I remembered why I was a friend to Ali. My dad finally caught the stares (glares) he was receiving and looked up with the most surprised face I've ever seen. I guess the cat is out of the bag now.

End of Flashback

Ever since then it's been nothing but hostility between my father and I. I never really got the courage to tell my mom about it. I know it's awful but I just couldn't lose her right now. I snapped out of my thoughts when I heard someone calling my name.

"ARIA!" Ali screeched, and when I looked up at her she finished with 'it's time to go'. I took in what each of them is wearing and I inwardly shuttered.

Ali was dressed in a sleazy 1 inch below butt skintight black dress with at least 4-inch heels. Her hair was pined out of her faced to reveal a face full of makeup. Spencer wore a slightly longer and less tight light pink dress with her hair curled on her shoulders. Hanna looked the same as Ali only her dress was neon purple. Emily's was knee length and flow-y and an emerald green color, she was also onl Spencer wore a slightly longer and less tight light pink dress with her hair curled on her shoulders. Hanna looked the same as Ali only her dress was neon purple. Emily's was knee length and flow-y emerald green color, she was also wearing green flats.

We descended the stairs me following behind them, Ali's mom gushed over how gorgeous we looked, though Ali brushed it off. We all settled down in Kenneth's car, and as we were pulling out of the driving I couldn't help but notice that Jason's car was gone.

So… I think this is about the time where I asked you of you liked it? But because I know you probably don't care enough to comment I will get to what you want to hear. This is a major Jason/Aria fanfic. There will be a minor Ezra/ Aria part but it won't be anything big.

Now I know Aria really isn't that tom-boyish but watching her on the show I always imagined what she would be like with that edge. And if you don't like it then don't read it.

Suggest if you wish…

Next Chapter: The infamous Noel Khan Bash. Now what type of shit do you think these girls's will get in to, plus I'll introduce Garret, Ian, and Jason! There might be the start of 'A' to.
