Am I Obsessed With You?
Aria's POV:
As I was sleeping, peacefully I heard a loud banging coming from outside my room. "Aria! Wake up, time for school!" My brother, Mike said to me. I jumped from the sound of his strong fists pounding on my door. I groaned and pulled the covers off of me. "I don't want to go to school." I said to myself. Mike over heard me and said, "And you think I want to start my sophomore year over again? Well, it looks like we both need to make some adjustments. I got up out of my bed and made my way over to my dresser. I inspected myself, making sure any of my bruises were visible. As I changed into a long sleeved shirt and tight skinny jeans, I made my way down the stairs into the kitchen. "Morning, sunshine!" Mike said to me in a sarcastic tone. I looked at him and smiled slightly. "Morning." I heard my father's footsteps as he walked down the stairs. Mike looked down at the table and mumbled to him. "Morning, Byron." My dad opened the cabinet and grabbed his favorite coffee mug and poured himself a cup of coffee. "Well, I better get going. Don't want to be late." I grabbed my bag and hurried out the door.
When I got to school, I walked into the main office and grabbed a few papers. I fumbled through the pile of papers, looking for the combo to my locker. I walked over to my locker, turned the dial a few times and opened it. My old friend, Hanna walked over to her own locker, which was a few lockers down from mine. She looked at me and smiled slightly. I had my head turned towards my locker, and I could see Hanna looking at me from the corner of my eye. "Hey, Hanna." I said, softly. Hanna smiled softly at me and said, "Hi, Aria." "It's weird being back here, considering I was gone for a while." Hanna nodded, looked past me, shut her locker and walked away. "Well, that was awkward." I mumbled to myself. A tall, slightly handsome guy passed by me and stopped at his locker, which was two lockers down from mine. I saw him staring at me, but he quickly turned to his locker after he saw that I noticed him. I guess he knew I was completely staring at him. We locked eyes for a moment, but I turned away and rushed off to my first period class.
Ezra's POV:
As I watched the girl walk down the hallway, I felt someone tapping me on my shoulder. As I turned to see who it was, I felt a pair of lips on mine. It was my annoying girlfriend, Jackie. I kissed her back with completely no passion what so ever. "I haven't seen you in forever, and that's all I get?" Jackie said, seeming annoyed and pissed off. "Sorry. I haven't been here in a while. It's just..weird being back here." I explained. "Oh." Jackie said, with a slight frown. "Yeah, well I better go." I turned away from her and walked off to my first class.
Aria's POV:
I walked into first period and I took my seat. As I waited for the last bell to ring, I looked through the papers that I was given earlier. The guy that I came across earlier, walked in a few seconds after the bell had already rang. "Well, Well, Well. Welcome, back Ezra. You're late as usual." The teacher had said to him. He just nodded and walked over to the seat next to me. "Hm, Ezra's his name? Isn't Ezra a girl's name?" I thought to myself. I looked at Ezra from the corner of my eyes.
Ezra's POV:
"Pst! Ezra, pst!" Hardy said, trying to get my attention. When that didn't work, he threw a piece of crinkled up paper at the back of my head. "EZRA!" I saw the girl sitting next to me staring at me, I ignored her and turned to Hardy. "What could you possibly want?" I asked, a little annoyed. "How's your new apartment?" Hardy asked. "Uhm. Fine?" "Awesome. I was hoping we could have a party at your place sometime." "Absolutely not. If my landlord found out I had a party, he'd kick me out." I said to him. "Since when do you follow the rules?" I shrugged. "True. But I don't want to get kicked out..again." "Yeah..well."
"Hardy and Ezra! Do you think I could continue this lesson? Or do you want to finish your conversation first?" The teacher asked. I gestured him to the board. "You may continue." I said with a slight smirk. I turned my head slightly and I looked over to the girl next to me. She saw me staring. "What?" She asked, with a slight attitude. I talked softly, so the teacher couldn't hear. "What? It's okay for you to stare at me, but I can't glance at you?" "Uhm, I actually wasn't staring. I just..I haven't seen you around here since I haven't been in Rosewood in a while." She kept rambling, trying to make an excuse. I cut her off, "Fair enough." "So, what's your excuse for looking at me?" She said, with a flirty smile. "You do realize you're fairly new here, too. Right?" I told her. "Fair enough." She said, basically mocking me. I heard the teacher sigh. "Okay, Mr. Fitz and Ms. Montgomery and Hardy, you all have detention after school." "WHAT? I wasn't even talking this time." Hardy shouted. "Fine. But Ezra and Aria, you both have detention." "Please! I'm sorry, I can't have detention on my first day!" Aria exclaimed. "Not enough word out of you two."
Aria's POV:
When the bell rang, I got out of the classroom quickly as possible. As I walked down the hallway, I punched one of the lockers. "Damn it!" I shouted. Ezra walked slowly over to me. "It won't be that bad. We just have to sit there." I shook my head and looked Ezra in the eyes. "Yeah, not THAT bad." I said, while I walked away from him.
Ezra's POV:
Jackie walked over to me and swung her arm around my waist. "Why were you talking to her?" She asked, a little disgusted. I turned to her and said, "Why not?" "Because. She's new. Which means she's a loser. You should know that." "Well, why should that matter?" "Ezra, out of everyone in this school, you should be the ones most concerned with his reputation. You just got back from jueve from crying out loud!" I rolled my eyes at her. I swear, everything out of her mouth sounds bitchy. "Whatever, I'll see you later." I pushed away from her and walked to detention.
