At the age of 14 Aria Montgomery was different from the rest of her friends. She had pink streaks in her hair, she didn't want to be exactly like her best friend, Alison DiLaurentis and she had as hopeless crush on Ali's older brother, Jason. He had blonde hair and these gorgeous green eyes that you could get lost in.
Aria, Spencer, Hanna and Emily all sat in a circle in Alison's room. She had come up with new kind of game. It was a combination of spin the bottle and truth or date. Each of them had black and red strip of paper in front of them. The black strip meant dare while red meant truth. When someone spun the bottle it would land on either red or black, if landed in the middle it was the spinner's choice. They had exhausted the movies and gossip earlier in the night, plus Jason and his friends had come in and taken over the living room sending the girls up stairs. Spencer had just spun and dared Hanna to call her crush Caleb Rivers and tell him that she would like to see him shirtless more often. Alison had just rolled her eyes, when Ali dared something it was always slightly mean. After Spencer, it was her turn none the less and the bottle landed on black in front of Aria.
As soon as the bottle stopped spinning the dynamic in the room changed. The other three girls knew that Aria and Alison had had some sort of argument and that Aria wasn't backing down on how she felt about it. Aria began breathing heavily, none of their other friends knew that the argument had been about Jason. Alison kept a calm look on her face as she taped her chin trying to think of a good dare for Aria.
She already had a good idea of one, "Okay. Aria I dare you to go downstairs and kiss Jason while sitting on his lap." she said with a smile on her face.
"Fine. I'll be right back." Aria said standing, not letting Ali get too smug about her dare.
"Wait." She said when Aria reached the door. "We'll need proof that you actually did it." she said looking at Hanna, "Hanna grab my camera and go downstairs with Aria."
"Ali." Hanna pleaded. All of the other girls were terrified of Jason.
"Don't whine Hanna. It's not attractive. Now grab my camera and head downstairs. I don't know how much longer they will be here." Ali commanded.
Emily and Spencer just sat there looking at Alison like she had three heads. They couldn't figure out why she wanted Aria to kiss Jason.
Hanna grabbed Ali's camera and followed Aria down stairs, "Why did she dare you to kiss Jason?" she asked.
"Because she found out I have a crush on him." Aria told her friend. "That's what our argument last weekend was about. I won't back down on having a crush on Jason and Ali is trying to make me see that he is too old or whatever for me." She continued.
"Aria he is 19. That's 5 years between you guys." Hanna said quietly. "Plus you've heard what happens at the parties him and his friends go to. He has tons more experience."
"Hanna, I'm not trying to sleep with him." Aria said curtly, "I just think he is cute and I don't mind looking at him. Come on even you like to check him out."
Both girls stopped when they got to the bottom of the stairs. Aria looked at Hanna, she would never admit this in front of Ali, but this dare scared her.
Leaving the staircase both Aria and Hanna crept towards the living room. "What do you two want?" Garrett Reynolds asked coming up behind them, scaring them.
Hanna dropped Ali's camera, "I. um. We. Uh." Was all she got out before bending down to pick up the camera.
Garrett looked at Aria to explain. Even Jason's friends knew that she was the only powder puff girl that wasn't scared of him. "I'm down here on a dare from Ali and Hanna has to get the proof." Aria said looking at the ground.
Smirking, "Well then by all means let's get this dare over with." He said putting his hands on Hanna and Aria's shoulder leading them into the living room. "Hey Jason look who I found. Two scared powder puff girls." Garrett finished as he sat down beside his best friends.
Jason looked over at the two, "Shouldn't you two be upstairs playing dolls with Ali or something?" he asked sarcastically pausing the movie they were watching.
"We don't play with dolls." Hanna squeaked.
"Oo trying to stand up for herself." Ian said moving to sit on the arm of the couch on the other side of Jason. "Ya know she's kinda cute." He added hitting Garrett's arm.
Aria just covered her face with hands and shook her head. She was going to kill Ali for this.
"Actually pink hair there is down here on a dare from Alison and miss squeak has to get the proof." Garrett explained.
"What kind of dare?" Ian asked moving around the back of the couch to stand beside Hanna.
"I have to kiss Jason." Aria spouted out glaring at Garrett.
Garrett and Ian just looked at each other and started laughing hysterically. Jason's beer ended up all over the coffee table, "You have to do what?" he asked wiping his mouth with his hand.
"I have to sit on your lap and kiss you." Aria said looking at her feet.
If Garrett and Ian had been laughing hard before they were rolling now. Jason just sat there and stared at Aria.
"Well come on. Let's see that kiss." Ian said shoving Aria towards Jason.
Aria stiffened when she got close to Jason. He looked pissed and now she was scared. Hanna had scurried around to the other side of the coffee table to get away from Ian and so she could get the best shot possible for Ali.
"For the love of God. It's just a kiss." Jason said grabbing Aria by the waist and pulling her down to his lap.
Aria squeaked when she landed, but put her arms around Jason's neck looking up at him. Garrett and Ian both leaned in while Hanna had the camera all ready to snap the picture. Jason slipped his arms around Aria and leaned his head down. Aria quickly pressed her lips to his and tried to get up.
"Aria, I didn't get it." Hanna said looking at her friend with a red face.
Aria just glared at her. Smiling Jason turned Aria's head towards his and pressed his mouth fully against hers. Giving Aria her first kiss. As soon as the flash from the camera went off Garrett and Ian slapped Jason.
"Alright your dare is done." Jason said almost pushing Aria off his lap.
Aria and Hanna just squeaked and ran upstairs.
On the stairs Aria paused and touched her lips. She had just kissed Jason DiLaurentis. Hanna looked at her friend, "is he a good kisser?" she curiously.
Aria just nodded her head and they walked back into Ali's room. "What took you two so long?" she wanted to know, "I think I have grey hair."
"Stop being so dramatic Ali. We weren't gone that long." Aria said sitting back down.
Ignoring Aria, "Hanna did you get proof?" holding her hand out for her camera. Alison took her camera from Hanna and looked at the picture. Aria and Jason actually kissed. She was starting to see red, her brothers hands were on Aria's small waist and he seemed to be enjoying the kiss just as much as Aria.
"Well I have to say I'm impressed. You actually did it." she said smugly shutting her camera off.
"Of course I did." Aria retorted.
"No need to get defensive Aria. I just wasn't sure you would since you have a crush on him." Ali said spilling her friend's secret.
"You like Jason." Emily and Spencer both screeched turning to look at her.
"Yes. Well I have a crush on him." Aria said picking at her nail polish. She couldn't believe Ali pulled that. "I know nothing will ever come of it." she added quietly.
"Okay Em. It's your turn." Ali said ignoring the fact that she had just humiliated Aria.
Emily spun the bottle and it landed on red in front of Ali, "Okay, Ali do you like Ian?" Emily asked.
"Yes." She stated proudly, playing with her curly hair.
Jason sat down stairs drinking his beer trying to relax but his two idiot best friends could only talk about the kiss he had just had with one of Ali's best friends. What the hell was she trying to pull, Jason thought. Garrett kept asking how soft pink hair's lips were, soft really soft Jason would answer in his head. Ian wanted to know what it felt like to have a powder puff girl on his lap, not as weird as it should have been, Jason thought. Frankly he couldn't get the kiss out of his head either he just wasn't go to talk about it. Aria's hands had been soft coming into his hair and her lips were full for her only being 14. Nope, that's stopping right there, Jason told himself. I'm not going to start thinking about one of Ali's friends that way. No, especially not that one, he added before he tried to concentrate on the movie.
Soon the girls all got tired and got ready for bed. Aria was fully pissed at Ali. She couldn't believe that one of her best friends had done that. She had made her go downstairs and kiss the guy she had a huge crush on and then told their other friends that she liked him. Yes they had fought about Aria's crush on Jason, but she wasn't stupid, she knew that nothing would ever happen between her and Jason. He was getting ready to go away for his sophomore year of college and they were getting ready to start high school. Walking back into Ali's room after finishing in the bath room Aria just laid down on her sleeping bag, she wanted to cry but didn't want the others to hear her.
"Aria." Ali asked moving towards her friend.
"Go away Ali. I don't want to talk." Aria responded rolling to face the wall.
"I'm sorry. I just thought they had a right to know."
"Yeah right." Aria responded rolling back over. "You're pissed because I actually did the dare. You didn't think I would." She finished.
"I…"
"Go to bed Ali!"
Getting up Aria knew that the rest of the girls were asleep including, Ali. Opening the door she headed down stairs, journal in hand. She needed somewhere to think and not worry about Ali seeing what it was about. Slipping out the back door Aria went to sit at the patio set that was in the back yard. The moon was hitting it so she would have enough light to write by, thank goodness for a full moon, she thought opening her journal.
I kissed Jason! Well actually he kissed me because Hanna didn't get the picture the first time. Ali's stupid dares. I still can't believe she made me do that. I know she's pissed because I won't say I don't like him, but I don't want to lie. I do like Jason. When he isn't around those two idiots he calls friends he is really nice and funny. He makes me feel as if he under stands me. I don't get what is so wrong with that. It's not like I'm picking out china. Does a dare that involves a kiss count as a first kiss? Cause if it does then Jason was my first kiss, sweet! But I don't think it does and normally I would ask Ali, but I can't this time.
Aria finished writing in her journal and then put her face in her hands and finally allowed herself to cry. Her best friends had humiliated her and didn't care. Yes Ali was a bitch but this was almost too far. It wasn't Aria's fault she found Jason attractive, was it?
Jason had come home to a dark house. He knew that all of the power puffs would be asleep which was good. It meant that he didn't have to worry about seeing Aria until the next day. He was in the kitchen getting a bottle of water when he heard the stairs squeak and saw Aria coming down and then head outside. What is she doing? Being curious he followed her and watched her write in what looked like a journal and then start crying. Nope, not going there. Not getting involved with a crying girl, he thought to himself as he watched. Jason knew this had something do with Ali, he had heard them the weekend before arguing about him, he had missed the first part of the argument but he had found out that Aria had a crush on him but he had kind of already figured that one out. Ali was pissed that one of her friends actually saw him as a person but Aria wouldn't back down from saying he wasn't as bad as Ali made him out to be.
