This is my first fanfiction so please be nice. I had this idea in my head and am attempting my hand at writing.

Season One- Episode One: Pilot

Today was going to be different. I knew it. Today would not be the boring routine I had going on for my first teaching job, getting supplies, typing up papers, and other crap.

At around 4, I was nervous to the bone. Tomorrow was my first day and I don't think my fingernails are very appreciative of me at the moment.

I saw a small bar in town and decided to relieve myself.

"One scotch, please." I said. I took a long sip and sighed. This was going way better than I thought it would.

"Can I have a cheeseburger?" A soft voice called. I opened my eyes to see a dark haired, oddly dressed girl sitting a little further from me.

"You got it." The man behind the counter mumbled.

She looked around for a bit before her eyes rested on a 'Missing Person' poster. She seemed a little sad.

"You alright down there?" I asked.

"I'm a bit jetlagged. I just got back from Europe." She explained.

"Where in Europe?" I asked, attempting to make small talk.

"Iceland." I loved that place. I would've taken Jackie there for our honeymoon but hey, every dream is shattered once, right?

"I spent some time in Reykjavík, and I went to Amsterdam. It's a great city."

She seemed shocked for a second before finally uttering, "Yeah."

A moment of awkwardness passed before she finally asked,

"Do you go to Hollis?"

"I just graduated. I'm going to start my first teaching job."

"I- I think I'd like to teach."

Another moment passed.

"I love this song." She sighed. I recognized it immediately, Happiness by The Fray.

"B-26." I said.

"So what's your major?" I asked.

She seemed flustered for a moment before answering, "Well I'm leaning towards English."

"That's what I'm teaching!" I exclaimed.

"Well, I write, too. But so far it's mostly just personal. Just for me." She smiled.

I was truly amazed.

"I'm impressed." I admitted, before grabbing my drink and scooting closer to her.

"Why?"

"Well, I tried to write. Didn't make it so far though. But if you're writing for yourself, then it's true compassion. Maybe you'd let me read some of them?" I asked hopefully.

"Yeah, you really want to?" She asked, surprised.

"Yeah. You're smart, you've travelled, great taste in music. I'd like to know more about you."

"I'd like to know more about you, too." She said.

"I'm Aria."

"I'm Ezra."

One thing led to another and next thing I know, we're making out in the bathroom.

The next morning, I woke up with a smile on my face as I thought of Aria. Aria. Such a pretty name.

I got dressed quickly and had an extra bounce in my step as I walked to my car. I drove quickly to the school.

I walked into my classroom and found some students already there.

I wrote Mr. Fitz on the board and turned to introduce myself when an all too familiar face was looking back at me.

"Holy crap." I mumbled. I made out with a minor, with my student.

Everyone looked at me and back to Aria who had the same expression of shock on her face.

Her phone beeped and she mumbled a quick sorry before answering it.

"Uh um, I'm Mr. Fitz, your new English teacher."

I quickly got to explaining the assignments required and getting to know everyone.

The whole day I was thinking of Aria and how I morally screwed up. What type of guy just assumes the girl's in college?

There was a knock on my door and there she was, radiant in her beauty and innocence.

"You told me you went to Hollis." I accused.

"No. I said I was thinking of majoring English and I am."

"Look, I think you're amazing. Aria, when I first met you I thought 'Who is this girl?'"

She smiled at this and grabbed my hand.

"I'm still that girl. Nothing's changed." If only you knew.

"Yes, it has. I'm your teacher." Why couldn't she just understand that we couldn't be together?

"I know it's not just me. You- You feel like this is right for us, too."

"It's not right. I just can't." I said and pulled my hand away before I stood up and walked out, seeing her hurt face.

Later that night when I was watching Family Guy, a breaking news report interrupted my show.

"The body of Alison DiLaurentis has just been found. The 15 year old teen went missing a year ago while she was at a sleepover with her friends. Workers were removing the gazebo built the month Alison went missing to discover the remains of a young girl."

Alison DiLaurentis….. Why did that name sound so familiar?

Then it hit me, that was the poster Aria was looking at yesterday.

Saturday

I dressed in a black suit and drove over to Rosewood Church. I could see the amount of mourners and I couldn't see Aria.

I walked up the steps when I finally saw her.

"Was she a friend of yours?" I asked quietly.

She turned to face me.

"Do you care?" I totally deserved that.

"I don't know what I feel worse about. Having to stay away from you or being a jerk about it?"

"Yeah, she was my best friend." She whispered looking out the window again.

"I'm sorry." I said sincerely.

"For Alison or for being a jerk?" Was she always like this? This is not good for my ego.

"Both."

"Thank you."

We looked into each other's eyes for a minute before she spoke again.

"I would never want to do something to get you in trouble." She kissed my cheek and started walking towards the stairs.

Before I knew it, I had grabbed her wrist and turned her back to me to kiss her. I put all of my frustration into that kiss. She pulled away and swept my hair out of my face before readjusting her bag and leaving.

What the hell did I just do?
