~6 Months Later~

~Aria P.O.V.~

I walked into the school and headed towards my locker, picking up Hanna along the way.

"Hey sweet cheeks!" She greeted me.

"Someone's in a good mood this morning." I replied, giving her a grin. "I take it your date went well?"

"Very! He took me shopping in Philly, then out to eat. Very romantic!"

"Oh sounds fun!"

"It was." We arrived at my locker.

She was babbling on about her date. I looked over her shoulder and saw Jason. He was talking to Jesse. He must have felt my eyes on him, because he looked up and his eyes landed on me. He gave me a heart warming smile. I looked down and blushed while reaching into my locker and grabbing my History book.

Hanna noticed my blush. She looked behind her at Jason, who was now walking our way.

"We'll catch up later." She said before winking and walking away.

I shut my locker. And turned to face Jason. He leaned down and placed a short kiss on my lips.

"Morning beautiful!" He said to me.

"Morning to you too. How did you sleep?" I asked while I turned to walk to my first class. He grabbed my book and took my hand in his as he walked me there.

"You mean once you let me get to sleep?" He grinned at me.

I slightly blushed. "That wasn't my fault."

"Oh it wasn't?" He laughed.

"I told you I wasn't going to let you sleep until you told me where you are taking me tomorrow."

He nudged me with his hip. "And how did that work out for you?"

"I fell asleep." I pouted. I grabbed his hand that was holding mine in both my hands. "Please tell me?" I gave him my best puppy dog eyes.

"Sorry. It's a secret, but I can promise that you will love it."

"That's if I show up."

"You will." He said confidently.

"You sound so sure of yourself."

"I am."

"And why's that?" We had arrived outside my classroom. I was now standing in front of him.

"Because you're to curious for your own good." He flashed me one of his charming smiles. The one he always used when he knew he had won an argument.

I sighed. "Fine. Don't tell me, but don't expect any sleep tonight either."

"You mean until you fall asleep again?" He smirked.

"No. This time I plan on staying awake all night." I smirked right back.

"Yeah, we'll see how well that works out for you." I stuck my tongue out at him.

The five minute warning bell went off.

Jason sighed. "See you after class?"

"Count on it." He leaned down and kissed me quickly, leaving me wanting more.

I walked in and sat down beside Emily. She threw a smile my way.

"You could at least keep the PDA to a minimum while at school, Aria." Mona snidley remarked.

"Oh, I'm sorry. Is it to much of a reminder that no one wants to be with you?" I commented back.

It took her a few seconds to regain her composure. "Wow. Wanna be Ali much."

I opened my mouth to reply, but Emily stopped me. "Ignore her Aria. She's just jealous."

I turned around to face Emily.

"Have you talked to her lately?" I quietly asked her, referring to Ali.

"Not for a few days." She replied.

"What about Noel?" I asked, already knowing the answer before she said it.

"Not since last week. He prefers talking to Jason about it."

I sighed. "I know. I was just hoping that maybe they had a new lead on Ezra."

She sighed. "I hope we get one soon. I hate knowing that she's okay, but not being able to see her."

"I know. I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen." She nodded as our teacher walked in to start the class.
