First day of school…
Aria was back in school and Emily and her were walking into class. "I heard the new teacher is really hot," Emily said. Aria sat down and just took out her lip gloss she reapplied. Noel came into the classroom and snuck up behind Aria. "boo!" Noel said wrapping his arms around her. Aria jumped at first but then relaxed. "Hey," Aria said looking up at her. Noel met her lips and Emily just looked away. "Hey Noel! Can't keep your lips off her?" Sean asked coming into the class with Hanna. Noel and Aria broke apart. Aria smirked at him and Noel said "It's been a while and when you're almost at the three year mark with Hanna then you can tell me." Hanna smiled and watched as Sean walked over to Aria. "It's good to have the queen bee home," Sean said then gave her an awkward hug. Hanna looked away but didn't care.
Mona walked in. "Hey Han!" Mona walked over to them. Hanna looked down knowing Aria was going to say something. "Okay, for one do you remember me and if you do. Leave Hanna alone," Aria told her. Mona then realized Aria was back. Mona looked at Hanna for help but saw coldness in her eyes. "Don't tell me you were friends with that?" Aria said pointing to Mona. "I am not a that!" Mona blurted. "Could have fooled me," Aria said. Mona walked away feeling like she was just shut out by Hanna.
Aria looked at Hanna. "Really sweetie…while I was gone, you communicated with hermy's girlfriend," Aria said. Hanna looked away. Aria always knew how to make her feel bad. "Yea, I guess you can call it that," Hanna said. "Well at least back and you don't have to bother with it," Aria said then looked at the rest. "You all split when I was gone and you turn into a bunch of people who hang with the mob," Aria said. "We promise It was just for a year," Spencer said and Emily nodded. "It better be," Aria said then took her seat once again. She stood up when Mona came over. They all took their seats and watched as the new teacher walked in.
"Hello my name is Ezra Fitz, I will be you're new English teacher," Mr. Fitz said. He turned around and seen a girl he never thought he would see again. Aria. He met her when she was in Iceland. They went on a date or two before he figured out her age. "Holy Shit" Mr. Fitz said. Everyone turned and looked at Aria. Her phone rang. "S-sorry," Aria said then went to retrieve her phone. Mr. Fitz turned back to talking to the class while Aria looked at the text. Liar…you think you can hide this from your boyfriend. You did have someone who stole your heart then broke it. Maybe he always fools with underage girls just ask your dad –A Aria looked around and seen no one was texting. "Alison," Aria whispered.
After school…
Aria and the girls were talking after school. "I got this weird text this morning," Aria said handing her I phone to the girls. They looked at it. "You did have a boyfriend in Iceland," Hanna said surprised. "I was depressed. I wanted nothing but to have a boyfriend. I was missing home. Lost. He stole my heart…then broke it…but then I realized I didn't like him at all…he was a rebound," Aria said with attitude. "It's okay, Noel did..see one girl while you were away and I think It was only to get dirt on you," Emily said. Spencer's head went down in shame. "You Spence?" Aria asked sounding betrayed. "I liked him and you were gone, I thought you would never find out," Spencer said giving Emily a death glare. "O shut up, you thought I wouldn't find out. There's nothing that goes on here that I don't know about, gone or not. I know that you're just saying that anyway to cover your tracks, it's not going to work," Aria said then walked away.
Aria jumped into her car and drove to the last person she wanted to see…Noel.
"That went well," Hanna said. "How could you…rat me out like that?" Spencer asked Emily. "I thought she deserved to know the truth," Emily told her. "She hates me now. It's not going to take long for her to replace me with Naomi or Riley!" Spencer yelled. "It's true Spence, nothing goes on here that Aria doesn't know about gone or not," Hanna said. "What do you mean?" Spencer asked. "Secrets have a way of coming out when you're still friends with the person that you betrayed," Hanna looked at her. "You're taking Aria's side?" Spencer asked. Hanna nodded. "She's my best friend you all are. But you had no right to go and start to date the ex. It's territory of the best friend. It could possibly end the friendship," Hanna said. "You know this because…" Spencer said. "Because I did it before, I lost the friend, Sean you know. I use to be friends with a girl named Sarah, Sean was her ex…I started to date him…ended the friendship…just remember, Aria ends the friendship with you. We all do," Hanna said then walked towards her mother's car that she was driving.
"Em, you don't think she hates me," Spencer asked. Emily being the one that always told her the truth "I'm not sure but it's true what Han said It is territory of the best friend. You go after Noel…It could possibly kill Aria because she's been with him for almost two years. They would have been three if she didn't leave. They love each other. I know and Hanna knows that he only went out with you because he wanted to know about Ar. He dumped you after he found out you had no contact with her." Spencer remember him dumping her all to clearly.
Memory…
"Spence, this is wrong, you're Aria's best friend, she's my ex," Noel said looking at her with fake sorrow in his eyes.
"I know it is but, don't tell me you don't like it," Spencer said seductively.
"I don't like it, I love Aria, I always will, I know you were just the rebound and you will be the last girl I date unless it's Aria," Noel said then walked out of the park to Sean.
End of memory…
"I have to go," Emily said
…
"Noel how could you?" Aria yelled at him. "How could I want babe?" Noel asked. "How could you date Spencer? She was my best friend. I thought you didn't go out with anyone while I was gone. Spencer even said you didn't!" Aria yelled. "I love you Aria. I was just with Spencer to see if she had contact with you! They wouldn't tell me anything!" Noel told her. "I don't care, I thought I knew you better than that…I guess not," Aria said then let one tear fall. "Don't cry over this," Noel said. "I love you, how could you?" Aria asked. "I didn't want to," Noel said. "All you had to do was call," Aria said as more tears fell. Noel felt bad. He never felt this bad since he failed the math test in grade 7. Noel walked over to her. "I love you Aria. Always have and Always will, don't leave me," Noel said looking in her eyes. Aria sighed. She could never be mad at him for long. But Spencer…she can. Aria looked at him and kissed him. "I'm not going to leave you, just don't do it again," Aria said. Noel smiled and pulled her into a hug.
