Meeting Aria Montgomery.
Let me tell you about the time I met Aria Montgomery.
It happened on a Friday one Fall afternoon. She was lazing on the grass in the park with a sketch book and pencil scratching away with no care for the hot guys across the way playing football-shirtless I might add. She seemed so engrossed in her task. Every so often she looked up as if she were studying something with her eyes then back down to her page to scribble some more.
Turns out she has been staring at a guy. Just not the footballers. A guy is sitting on a park bench reading a novel. Mr Fitz! Our english teacher. Well i cant judge her for that one can I? He is handsome in a nerd kind of way. Plus I met him once before in a college bar of all places (yes I know I wasn't supposed to be there. Move on will you?). Cece dragged me along to one of her college parties, not that she had to do much arm twisting to get me to agree to go.
Aria was a spunky little brunette who by the look of her wardrobe choices wasn't afraid to be a little wacky. Clearly she wasn't one to follow the crowd unlike me of course who just had to fit in more often than not with the 'cool older kids'. She was a mix and match type of girl. She was wearing spots with stripes and she would wear lace with leather. I honestly don't know how she does it but whatever look she picks she totally rocks it. I decided to sit down next to her complaining that the five inch heels I was wearing were giving me blisters. I remember commenting her on her sketch.
Shes quite the talented little artist. She told me her mum was an artist and that whatever skills she had as one came from her. She told she liked to write poems and short stories too. It was her escape much like my own writing, reading and alter ego Vivian Darkbloom got me away from everything too. We sat there for a while just watching the world go by while she continued sketching random people in the park until the sky turned dark. She invited me to have dinner at her house with her family and let me tell you they're pretty good at playing charades and winning. She had a brother like me. Younger instead of older but much the same broody and mysterious personality that my own brother Jason did.
That night at Aria's house I remember laughing until my stomach hurt watching her parents trying to act out the title 'Mean Girls'. I remember thinking they looked so happy as a married couple (until their bitter divorce, cause yes another father in this town cant control himself'). the next day i introduced to Aria to Spencer and Hanna. They totally loved her. My group of friends was shaping up quite nicely. Something or someone was still missing. Little did I know I would meet the final and most important member of our group and my life; Emily Fields in the library at school but that's another story.
PLEASE REVIEW :)
