The two remained friends during Zoey's sophomore year. Zoey was still with Luca, while Aaron began hanging out with Ana Torres; however, it was pretty clear that Zoey and Aaron still had feelings for each other deep inside. Even Ana pointed it out when she attempted to put a label on their relationship and Aaron didn't want to.
Zoey and Luca ended up calling it quits by the end of the season, and that's when things took a turn for Zoey and Aaron. Before heading off to London for a styling job, Zoey kisses Aaron as he's dropping her off at the airport, and that's how the season ends.
