The bell rang and Ezra Fitz's first class began to shuffle out. But one pretty brunette lagged slightly behind. When the other students were out she walked somberly to Mr. Fitz's desk. "Mr. Fitz I just wanted to say thanks for helping me to class."

He smiled warmly at her, "No problem Aria, I mean I kinda owed it to you after threw down." Aria laughed and Ezra wished it lasted longer, she had a beautiful laugh. And it made him smile. He had to fight his frown as his second class filed in. But he was a little pleased to see her not so well hidden dismay.

"Well, bye." She waved a small shake of hand and left, leaving a very conflicted Ezra J. Fitz behind. As she stumbled to her next class she noticed the same blonde girl her gave her a ride with a slightly attractive brown haired girl who sported a classical up do.

"Hanna!" she smiled. When Hanna caught Aria's glance she smiled back to her. "Aria? Right? Spencer this is Aria. I gave her a ride this morning." Hanna swiped her arm back and forth between the two girls, silently introducing them to each other. Aria walked over to Spencer and gave her a light, awkward hug that ended up making them both laugh.

"Do either of you have Mrs. Gullies next?" Aria asked, peeking down at her schedule bearing card. "Ooh, I do! We better get a move on I think the warning bell already sounded." Aria smiled and Spencer lightly squeezed Hanna's arm to say good bye and they went down to halls to Mrs. Gullies classroom.

. . .

By the time lunch rolled around Aria had another class with Hanna and met a new girl named Emily. Not that Emily was new, just new to Aria. They were nice enough to invite her to lunch on her first day, and they had decided to eat on the front terrace of the school.

"Now there is one more girl you're gonna meet Aria, her name is Ali and she's kind of a bitch on the outside but really sweet once you get to know her." Hanna announced, scrolling down her blackberry. Emily bit into her red apple loudly, "Ali isn't a bitch just really high maintenance." Emily mumbled. "No, she'd kinda a bitch." Spence smiled as she finished a chapter in her SAT text book.

"Ooh, did I hear someone say my name?" A stylish blonde girl with a green Fendi bag and very short shorts walked up in front of the girls. But her sultry smile was removed when she spotted Aria. She casually ripped off her red lens aviators, revealing robin's egg blue eyes. "Who are you?" she asked with mild distaste.

Aria fiddled with her pearl necklace and smirked crookedly, "I'm Aria Montgomery. I'm new to town and the girls have been super nice to me." She smiled at the girls and they smiled warmly back. "Well isn't that sweet", Ali looked her over one last time, appreciating her subtle royalties in which she was sporting. Her diamond studs, the mother of pearl necklace, the DVF swank top and skinny jeans that looked rich no matter whom made them.

Finally Ali gave in and stuck her long, graceful charm bracelet clad arm and chimed out, "Alison DiLaurentis, unofficial Queen Bee of Rosewood High." She smiled fake-ly at Aria as she shook her hand. Aria had a terribly sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach that made her feel like she had been dropped into a total mean girls scenario. Once she let her hand drop , Aria spotted Ezra walk out of the front doors of Rosewood high.

He noticed her and smiled widely at her, waving in her direction. She waved back smile present on her face. Ali looked at her confused but followed her gaze anyway. "Ooh La La", she breathed. "How does he know you Aria?" she asked with a mean tone in her voice. "Well I'm in his class." She offered. Ali scoffed, "So is Hanna but he didn't flash her boner smile." Emily spit up most of what she'd just sipped of her soda at the word boner.

"W-what?" Aria smiled nervously. Ali shrugged, "I mean obviously someone is hot for his student." Ali snuck another glance in his direction but he'd already joined some teachers at the corner of the building. Aria shook her head, "No he helped me this morning after he smashed into me outside of the office."

Ali smiled mischievously at the other girls before laughing, "And what part of him smashed into you, Aria dear?" she giggled and the others weakly joined in. Aria just smiled. Bite the Bullet, She thought. "Anyway, I can't believe that cow Principle Emalia kept me out of all of your classes except home ec!" Ali spat.

"I know, right!" Emily gasped. Aria had noticed Emily was very eager to please Alison. Ali nodded to her, and while it may have seemed like a respectable notice to Emily, it seemed like a good dog kind of nod to Aria. "Well even if our school life has to be a social dilemma for the next semester, I have already convinced my mom to let me have the house Friday night. Can you spell Party?" She pursed her glossy lips, pleased with herself. The girls smiled gratefully. "That's awesome, Ali." Emily chirped.

Ali nodded. "And of course you're invited, Aria. Just no teachers, okay?" she giggled wickedly. Aria smiled dully and the bell ending lunch rang. "Well girls, see you in Home Ec, toodles." Ali glamorously blew them all one solid kiss goodbye and sauntered away giving Mr. Fitz a suggestive look which he didn't even notice.

Aria turned to the other girls. Spencer just shrugged. "Like Hanna said, really is a peach once you get to know her." Aria nodded, well we should get to . . ." Aria fished out her schedule card. "Ugh, Gym."

I will try hard to post a new chapter soon! I just happened to be really inspired tonight!
