GENERAL POV

Aria Montgomery is an 18 years old petite brunette that was born in Rosewood, PN. She now lives in New York City for College. Her parents are divorced and her father, Byron, lives in Iceland with his girlfriend Meredith and her mother, Ella, is actually on a trip in Austria with her new boyfriend Zach. Her little brother Mike is living with their mother in Austria. Aria goes to NYU and she's single since her ex-boyfriend of 3 years, Noel, cheated on her. Since that happened and since she lives by herself, she decided to move to New York to get away from her hometown and all of its drama. She lives with her best friend Hanna Marin in a small apartment in New York near the school. Aria is a passionate English student who loves to read and to write. She's a young adult with lots of ambition and she wants to become a professional writer someday. Aria is starting her first year of College at NYU next week and she's really excited about it. Aria is a very bright young woman and she always had good grades.

*Aria was currently taking a nap in her bedroom when Hanna walks in their apartment with a lot of shopping bags in her hands.*

"Aria? Where are you? I'm back from the mall."

"In here!" said a sleepy Aria from her bedroom.

Hanna walks in and when she sees Aria on her bed with all the covers on her and her hair in a mess she says:

"Aria why are you not ready? We leave in less than an hour and you are still in your pajamas and your hair looks like a mess! "

"Hanna I already told you I'm not going. I'm just not feeling like it tonight. " said Aria.

" Aria come on. It's the third time since we are here that you stand me up and I want you to meet my date Caleb and his friend Liam. Liam's really handsome you'll see. Please Aria come with me I don't want to be alone with two guys. " said Hanna

"No Han please just leave me alone. I don't want to meet Liam. I saw a picture of him and I already told you that by his look he seems to be just like that jerk of Noel and I don't want to involve myself into a relationship that I know won't work out. "

The truth is that Aria is still hurt by her break up with Noel and she doesn't think that another boy will solves her problems for now. She wanted to focus on her school and her writing instead of a boy that would only cause her more drama.

«All right. Your lost, but please Ar stop thinking about Noel. The guys aren't all jerks like him. " replied Hanna

"I know Han I just don't want to be in a relationship right now... "

Hanna's face softened.

"It's ok Ar I understand. Sorry for pushing you like this. "

"It's ok, I forgive you. I love you Han your my best friend. " said Aria while she hugged Hanna.

"I love you too Ar, but please take a shower and I'll take you on a girly date just the two of us. "

"Where to? " said Aria

"How about we go to that little Italian place and then we go to the coffee shop I always talk about to take a coffee and talk about some girly stuffs? "

"Sure, that's sounds good. Thanks Han you are the best."

Hanna replied sarcastically "I know, now go take a shower you stink! "

Aria chuckled at the fake insult and went to take a shower.

Aria's POV

After a lot of talking and laughing about everything and nothing over a good dinner at that Italian restaurant, Hanna and I went to the little coffee shop near the NYU campus. We wanted to have a dessert and a coffee so we decided to go there. The waiter was flirting a lot with Hanna but she decided she wasn't going to betray her love interest for Caleb even if they weren't even dating yet which I was really proud of. After half an hour we were starting to feel uncomfortable because Chris, the waiter, was really insistent on getting Hanna's number and even if we told him that we would leave, he told us he would follow us. The man that was sitting next to us noticed it and told the guy to stop because he was starting to scare us. Chris finally understood and left, thanks to the guy. I learn that the name of our "savior" is Ezra and I have to admit that he is really handsome. He's tall, has brown curly short hair, breathtaking blue eyes and a smile that makes you automatically smile in return. We made small talk with him and I learned that he loved literature and that he just graduated from Columbia in English. Hanna invited Caleb to join us and Ezra and I talked about books that we liked and some more stuff and we were surprise when a jealous Chris told us that it was already closing time.

"Thank you Ezra that was really sweet of you."

"You're welcome girls it was absolutely nothing, but I have to go so I'll see you around Hanna." Then he turned to me with his gorgeous smile and told me that it was nice meeting me and that he wanted to learn more about me. He asked for my number which I happily gave him.

We all said goodbye to each other and decided we should call it a night since it was really late.

When Hanna and I returned to our apartment, I couldn't take Ezra off of my mind. He was not the type of guy I was use to spend time with because he seemed older and definitely more mature than all the guys I know. That night, I went to sleep with a little bit of hope in my heart. Maybe Hanna was right after all. Maybe not all the guys are jerks like Noel. I smiled at the tought. I can't wait to see Ezra and his beautiful smile again.

Okay so this is my first fiction guys :)! I'm new here but I love to read all of your amazing stories. You inspired me enough to decide that I wanted to write too. My birth language is French and I am from Montreal, Canada. I'm sorry if there are any mistakes or sentences that don't really make sense. I would love to read your reviews and please tell me if you have any ideas or comments to help me start my online writing. Thank you!
