Aria had got a phone call later that day from Emily and Alison saying that everyone was coming home for Labor Day.

It had always been a pretty big weekend for the 5 girls, so it didn't surprise her that they wanted to set up dinner at the Apple Grille.

Around 6:20 Aria started getting ready, after she turned 18 she completely changed her style.
She wasn't the girl that wore comic book themed dresses and leather everything else.

She cut her hair to drop just below the length of her face, high-lighted it with dirty blonde, and threw out all of her over-the-top outfits.

Now a days she usually just wears whatever she feels like that day, sometimes it's a pair of skinny jeans, a t-shirt and boots, other days it's a floral jumper and sandals.

She'd changed a lot in the year that she had traveled. The time away really did impact her life.

Though she wished at the time that Ezra hadn't broke things off for her sake, it turned out better than she would have ever thought.

Snapping back to reality, Aria sat down on her old bed and picked up her phone.

7:12 pm.

She still had an hour to kill before seeing her friends, sitting around the house doing nothing isn't fonna make timw go faster, so she jumped up and grabbed the pair of raybans on her bedside table and headed downstairs. back to Town she went.

Aria stopped in front of Lucky Leons Cupcakes, debating whether or not to pick some up.

She was gonna be meeting the girls soon, but cupcakes could be a good greeting.

Just before walking inside someone walked out, someone too familiar for Aria's liking.

"She's been there over a year, she can handle-...Let me call you back." He put his phone in his pocket, looking down at Aria.

"You look like you've seen a ghost.." Aria attempted to break the awkward silence. It didn't really make either of them any more comfortable.

"What are you doing here?" Ezra asked, moving out of the doorway of Lucky Leons.

"That's settle." Aria crossed her arms, following him to the side of the building.

"You know what I mean, you spent all of high school trying to get out of here."

Aria shrugged, leaning on a brick wall while Ezra sat at a table beside her. "I'm going to Hollis. I know, crazy right?"

"Very...What happened to traveling?" Ezra leaned back in the chair, Aria sighed then sat the seat across from him. "I got tired, bored, I missed the drama."

Ezra scoffed, knowing that the last part wasn't true. "You cut your hair, it looks nice." He gave her a slight smile.

Aria nodded, "Yeah, I needed a change.." Suddenly feeling guilty about everything that happened while she was traveling, Aria stood back up and brushed a piece of hair behind her ear.

"I have to-...I have to go. It was...nice..to see you again."

"Yeah...Am I gonna see you again?" Ezra stood, putting his hands in his pockets.

"I hope so," she smiled lightly, "I'll stop by tonight...The brew, I'll stop by the brew."
Before she could make an even bigger fool of herself she started walking off.

What are the odds that she see her ex boyfriend on their anniversary? In rosewood? A million in one.

A/N: Decently short, I know, but I don't wanna pack too much into one chapter, considering I plan on the next chapter being a long one with the girls and their current lives.
So, I hope y'all enjoyed my very awkward Ezria moment, more awkward times to come. Let me know what y'all think and I'll get started on the next one! Byee =)
