As Alison and the girls walked towards Rosewood High, they heard a squeaky, kind voice.
-"Hey guys!" It was Mona Vanderwaal, Hanna's bestie. She had her dark hair combed perfectly and her makeup applied as if she was a super model. Her emerald green eyes shined in happiness.
-"Oh, hey Mona!" Hanna said cheerfully as she hugged her friend. As the six of them reach Rosewood High, people stare at them in delight, which was the price of popularity.
As school hours passed by, the girls were re-united at the cafeteria, were they had lunch. An uncomfortable silence was created until Emily broke the silence, dying of curiosity.
-"So Ali…who's the lucky guy?" all four girls stared at Ali with pleading eyes looking for an answer to come from Alison's mouth, which surprised Ali, who smirked.
-"Its definetly not Ian". All the girls but Spencer giggled. Ali knew she had a crush on Ian, her sister's boyfriend; he was older than her and had light blue eyes and wide shoulders.
-"Well, who is it then?" Aria demanded while curling a piece of her neon streaked hair with her finger.
-"I said I wouldn't tell, didn't I? Alison smirked in pleasure as she saw the girls moan in disappointment, but quickly changed her mind. "You know what? I'll tell you tomorrow, our date is on Friday anyway", It was Wednesday, so it was fine to wait until the next day. The bell rang and the girls went off to finish their classes. When school had ended, Emily left for practice, Hanna went shopping with Mona, Spencer had a reunion with the decathlon team Alison had to go home and Aria had to pick up Mike from basketball practice but before doing that, she went to a pub nearby.

Aria's POV:
As I reached the entrance of the pub I heard my stomach growl. I wasn't sure if it was because of hunger or just because I was tired. As I entered I saw a young man, not as young as me, maybe in his early twenties, with his head buried in a poetry book. I smiled at myself. He's cute, I thought as I sat next to him. I was really tired and wanted to go home but I had to pick up Mike from basketball practice. As the bartender came up to ask me what I wanted, I ordered a burger and a Coke when something caught my attention. I listened carefully and smiled. The song was B26, my favourite song ever. I suddenly caught him staring at me with his ocean blue eyes. His hair was kind of messy. He chuckled as he saw me smile.
-"What's so funny?" I said as I slightly blushed.
-"Oh, nothing, I was just thinking about that song. B26, it's my favourite song" he smiled at me.
-"That's my favourite song too!" I smiled.
-"Ezra" he said.
-"Huh?" I looked confused.
-"My name is Ezra, your name is…"
-"Umm Aria, yes, Aria", looking into his eyes had made me get completely lost. He chuckled.
-"Well, what are you majoring in?" he stared at me.
-"I um… I'm majoring in English" I lied.
-"Really? Tomorrow I'm starting my first teaching job" he smiled.
-"Well, I bet you'll be great" I smiled at him.
We spent about two hours talking about things we liked, TV shows, books, etc. I was walking towards the bathroom and he kissed me. When our lips touched it was electrifying. I kissed back and that lead to a make out session in the bathroom. After that, we exchanged numbers and I left, very happy with myself and picked Mike and headed home. I fell asleep talking to him over the phone.
