Ezra Fitz made his way into his school for the first day of his junior year of high school. He was just returning back from his trip to Iceland with his family. On his way across the school parking lot, he saw Paige. His old friend before he moved to Iceland for a year. She was walking up to him but he pretended not to see her. Things would just… not be right. Not at all after- no. He didn't want to think about that now. But how could he not. It's been a year since she disappeared. Sure, she was a bitch. A big one at that. But they were all friends. Caleb, Toby, Paige, him, and Alison. They were pretty close, too. But he shook those thoughts aside when he heard Paige beside him.
"Hey! I didn't know you were back!"
…
After making small talk with Paige, Ezra made his way to his locker. He kept thinking about what he heard Paige say last. Basically that Alison was dead. But, that wasn't confirmed yet. She still just missing. But with the thought of Ali in his mind, Ezra's thoughts shifted to his group of old friends. Would he see them again? He wasn't sure if he wanted to become close to them now, after they fell apart.
The bell rang soon after Ezra shut his locker. Paige was by his side again and they went to their homeroom together, which was AP English. They found desks next to each other as other students socialized and piled into the room. Then someone caught his eye. Was that…? No. Was that Caleb Rivers? Woah. He turned towards Paige.
"Is that… Caleb?" He asked gesturing towards the better than ever looking boy standing next to his best friends Noel, Sean and… Lucas?
Paige nodded in return. "Yup. He's pretty popular now. Surprising, right?" Ezra nodded, wide-eyed. "Talk about a makeover. He wasn't exactly the most attractive before. When did this happen?" Paige shrugged. "Over the summer, I guess. He and Lucas became friends and that happened."
Then Toby entered the room, carrying his books as he crossed the room. He and Toby gave each other a short hello head nod and carried onto what they were doing.
Paige and him talked some more. About how they all fell out of touch, not just with Ezra. Also about how they were all friendly with each other, just not exactly… friends. He supposed he could come to understand that. Ali was kinda the glue that held the, all together. Without her, their group would fall apart. Now that she's gone, that's what happened.
Eventually, the second bell rang, symbolizing you had to be in class, and that class started now. Ezra was looking down when the door opened and the teacher came in. He kinda tuned them out. He may love English and all, but he love the work, not anything else that had to do with it.
He heard the chalk clicking on the board and the teacher slowly saying her name as she wrote it. Something like: Ms. Mongomry? Montgomery? Yeah. Ms. Montgomery.
He slowly and semi-reluctantly pulled my head up as Ms. Montgomery turned around. His eyes immediately widened and he felt his blood run cold. It was the women he met at that bar in Iceland. The one that he got pretty intimate with. Not like… all the way, just pretty intimate. And now she was his teacher. What was he supposed to do now? Should he just pretend it didn't happen; brush it off? The he felt his eyes land on him. What was her name? Ar… Arianna. No. Something unique. Aria? Yeah. Aria. She obviously had the same reaction as him. She looked like she might throw up as the only words that came out of her mouth were a mutter. "Holy crap." A few snickers and giggles brought both the teacher and the student into reality as they casually straightened up and brushed it off. But Ezra couldn't pay attention to the class. He was only thinking about what mess he just got into. He didn't know what he was going to do. But he knew one thing: Holy crap was right.

A/N: Sorry it was so short! This is an introduction to see if you want me to continue or not. Tell me what you think in the reviews please. Also, tell me if I should add A or not. Also, should this just be an Ezria story, or should I change characters each chapter and tell the story for each main character. In this case, Caleb, Toby, Paige and Ezra. Please let me know what you want!
