Aria Montgomery, wasn't new to the fame world. In fact at the age of 28, Aria was working on her second book. seeing as the first book, she wrote at the age of 20. Became on the best seller's list.
But it wasn't all that fun. because besides being a best seller and a teacher, her one true passion. Aria was always missing that big part of her life. The one who inspired her to follow her dreams. Ezra Fitz, he left shortly after Aria's senior year. When he realized, Aria will never for give him, for that one drunken mistake.
"Aria?" Spencer called out my name, for the third time.
"I'm sorry, spencer. I was-"
"In la-la land" She giggled "you really miss him, don't you?"
I nodded "After so many years, even the thought of him makes me cry."
"Aria, he slept with you. And a week later he claimed to be drunk and slept with Simone. "She netted her eyebrows " You made the right choice."
Spencer and I have been, living in new york for the last 10 years. And now we're heading home. Rosewood day offered me a slot, on their teaching staff and Rosewood hospital offered spencer a Job.
Even though we had experience the worst in rosewood, we also experience the best... And gained great memories of those happy times.
"I'll get it" I said as we both look toward the door. Since today was moving day. I agreed to meet my editors assistant.
"Hi, you must be rose?"
"yes! It's an honor to meet you" we shook hands "I can't believe, you're standing right before me"
"well, the pleasure is all mine's" I motioned for her to step in. "this is Spencer Hastings"
"your best friend, yes I've been informed. And I heard you have twin's, a boy and girl?"
I nodded " I do, they will be joining us tomorrow in rosewood. They both wanted to go to camp this summer" I told her.
"So Katie told me, to give you whatever you wanted" she smiled "and I'll be living in rosewood, for a couple of months whilst you do your interviews and book signing. boarders books are very happy, to have a naïve author back in rosewood. So they said."
"that's great, I'm so happy to be going home." I responded "So My children, are going be arriving at the airport. Around 12:30, I need you to meet them." I said and gave her a picture of the twin's "the press doesn't know about them, I've tried really hard to keep them out of it."
She looked at me confused "Why?"
I shook my head "I have my reason's, but Rosewood is a very small town and the word will spread." I told her.
"So what exactly do you want me to do?"
I shrugged "It doesn't matter, I just want my babies safe. You understand?"
"I promise"
"Great"
Ezra's POV:
It's been a year, since Ezra been back in Rosewood. And even thought, he made head of the English department. At Rosewood Day, And has a steady relationship. He knew she would never be the one, the one he let go. Because Aria would never forgive him.
He did the same thing everyday, as he watched the summer days past him by. but today was very much different, as he walked into the local book store. There were posters and flyers plastered in and our of the store.
"At 1:00, This store will be featuring. A naïve, Aria Montgomery. She will be signing and talking about her up coming book.." I've read the flyer to myself
A smile crept upon my face, I've been researching Aria for the last eight years. But the internet, and reporters don't talk about her personally life. Everytimethe question is asked, she always answers with no comment. or next question. it's like her life is a big mystery, and that's one of the reason's I love her.
"Hey Babe" Linda potter, my girlfriend for 7 months now. we've meant when I returned to Rosewood day, she's a history teacher there.
"Hey" I smiled and gave her a kiss "Look Aria Montgomery is doing a book signing tomorrow.
"Wow, that's right up your ally. you've read her book about a hundred times" she giggled
I rolled my eyes " I would say hundred" I told her. It was more like a thousand
"Okay" she smirked "did you hear? the principle hired the English teacher slot. for Mr. Naki's AP class"
I netted my eyebrows in confusion, that was my department. What's the point of being head of the department, if I'm left out of the loop. I shook my head "No, I hadn't heard anything. How do you know about this?"
"I was getting my class ready, and ran into him. He said, he was going to call you. to let you know." Linda replied and squeezed my han "come on lets, get dinner."
Aria's POV:
"Well, this is it." I told spencer
"Yeah, we haven't been home in years. And now look at us." Spencer smiled
I took in a deep breath, taking in that smell of Rosewood. "I have to get some sleep, so let's get to the house." I said, and we made our way toward baggage claim.
We quickly grabbed our bags, and headed to the new house. It wasn't all that, just a upand down stairs house. With a separate living quarters for spencer, even though I love her. I still need my space with the kids, and so does spencer.
we finally made it to the house, and unpacked what we needed for the next day.
"Good Morning Aria." Mr. Park's greeted me, he was now the new principle of Rosewood Day.
"Good Morning, I can't believe you gave me the Job." I smiled at him.
"I remember you well, beside's the fact that. You and your friends, were in that little Police situation. You were always a bright student, I'm just glad you accepted the offer."
We started to walk down, the all to familiar hallways. So many memories flooded back, Noëland I. Ezra and I, and Jason. The day of the storm. The laughter's I shared with my friends, The good and the bad. And now I'm going to be teaching here, for the next year.
Mr. Parks and I finally made it to my new classroom, It was Ezra's Old classroom. Still with the american flag next to the door. the Desk up front, and the file cabinet in the corner. "this will be, your new classroom for the next year."
I smiled "It's exactly as I remembered it." I walked up to the desk.
"I'm Only sorry, I didn't get you sooner."
"Better late than never..." I responded and took a walk around the classroom, stopping next to my old desk.
"Matthew, I just want to meet this new person. I thought we had an arrangement." That all to familiar voice sang throughout the classroom. I kept my head down, and smiled.
"Ezra, I knew you would approve. So I went a head and Hired Her."
"Hello, Mr. Fitz" I turned around, and watched as his Jaw dropped to the floor.
Ezra's POV:
I had to get to this meeting, with the new Teacher. A part of me felt a little giggyabout it, like that pit in the middle of your stomach. So I went up to the front office, but they said that Mr. Parks had already showed the young woman her classroom. So I walked down the halls to my once room. And heard Voices, Great their still here.
As I approachedthe door, I just started ranting. And didn't even noticed the other person in the room. Until she called my name, I would recognize that Voice anywhere. And Then Aria turned around, and my Jaw just dropped to the floor. Mainly out of shock, I knew she was coming back to town. But I just thought it was for a book signing, I didn't know she was staying.
"Aria!" I breath out "your the new AP English teacher"
she smiled, " yeah, I am. How are you?"
I took a few step's into the room "I have my moments." I smiled
"So, I hope this is okay Ezra?" Mr. Parks, broke us out of our eye stare.
I looked at him, then back at Aria. Not knowing what to say "that's fine, But Aria. I would like to talk to you! Please" I motion to the hallway.
"Yeah, okay" She started to make her way around the desk and out the back door. "What do you want?" he words just cut right, through me. Yup she was still mad.
"Aria, what happen. I-"
"Save it... It's in the past, Just know. Me being here, isn't going to change anything. OKay"
"Aria, I'm still in love with you. I know it's not the right time, or place for me to besaying this. But just seeing you in front of me, not knowing what's going to happen next. I have to tell you." I was blurting everything out. " I made a mistake, I just hope we can be friends"
Aria smirked and looked at me "I don't think, we can befriends. You want to be honest. Tell me why, you didn't fight for us?" she titled her head, and arched her eyebrow.
"Aria I-" Was cut off, God Linda not now. "Ezra, what are you doing here"
"Aria Montgomery, Linda Potter. Aria is going to be the new english teacher" I said and put my head down.
"It's very nice to meet you, Ezra read's you book all the time."
"Really, and yet he never seem to read in between the lines." Aria shook her head.
"What the hell, is that supposed to mean?" I was pretty sure, I got the meaning to the book.
"It mean's, The day that so person left. He didn't just leave the girl behind, but also missed out. On something bigger." She looked between Linda and I. "I hope the two, of you are very happy together." And she walked away.
"What was that all about?" Linda was confused. And so was I, what did she mean on something bigger?
"Linda, I just need to be alone. For a while okay, I promise. I'll explain everything later." I gave her a kiss to the cheek and walked down the same path as Aria.
