Being a sophmore in college has about 100 perks, and 99 of them are college guys. For the 27 girls in Professor Fitz's English class at Hollis, the term 'college guys' is taken the a whole new level. Professor Fitz is young, funny, smart, and capitol h H.O.T. I've never been one of those girls who has crushes on older men, but with that boyish grin and curly hair, let's just say the last girl who said she wasn't attracted to him turned out to be gay.
I'm Kylie. Today is a Monday. If I were still in high school, Mondays would make me groan. Now, Mondays mean an hour with Professor Fitz and then an hour break to just hang out. In The Brew, a local coffee shop, I'm getting my much needed morning wake up call. Through the doors walks a short brunette with amazing style. She's on the phone.
"Spence, if your parents won't let you move in with Toby, why not just stay in a dorm and sleep at his place whenever you want. I've got to go but if you need any help, I'm always here as an alibi. God knows you've stood in enough times for me. And I happen to be fantastic at lying to parents." She laughs. "Ok, I'll talk to you later. Tell Toby I say hi." The girl hangs up and scrolls through her phone. I assume she's looking for a certain contact. When she finds it, the girl taps the screen and lifts the phone to her ear.
"Morning, Babe. Yeah I'm at the Brew." She pauses, checking her watch. "I really don't have enough time. I barely got back to my dorm from the apartment with enough time to shower and change. I have class in like 15 minutes, and uh, so do you. Just think about all those college girls swooning over you." She shakes her head. "I know, I know, I love you, too. I'll see you later. Ok. Love you. bye. This time after hanging up she puts the phone away, advancing with the line.
I turn my attention back to the door as it bursts open revealing my best friend Jade. "Kylie, Kylie, Professor Fitz is going to be writing recommendation letters for campus jobs for freshmen if you go to his office and have an above B average he'll write you one and then you can go back to his office to get it and-"
"Woah! Slow down." I cut her off. "Take a breath and start over."
"Professor Fitz is letting people who have an above B average come to his office for letters of recommendation for campus jobs."
"You want a job?" I don't think Jade has ever worked a day in her life. Her parents are insanely rich.
"Of course not. But being alone with Fitz in his office? Sign me up. And not even just once. We get to go back to pick it up!"
I laugh. "So you're going to-" I'm cut off by the brunette girl bumping into me. She looks up from her phone, a blush spreading across her cheeks.
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry. I was just waiting for my coffee and my friend texted me. Are you ok?"
"Don't worry about it. I'm totally fine. I'm Kylie by the way. And this is Jade." I introduce us.
"Aria." She replies, shaking my outstretched hand and waving to Jade.
` "So, you go to Hollis? What year are you."
"Freshmen." She replies, nodding.
"You do look really familiar. We're sophmores." Jade pipes up.
"I'm also Professor Montgomery's daughter. I was around Hollis before I even graduated."
"Oh that's cool." I reply.
"Sometimes." She winks at us and we smile back. She may be younger than us, but her confidence is really impressive.
"So what's your major?" Jade asks.
"English. Reading, writing. I really love it."
"Really? Who's your professor?" Jade gets a slight smile on her face. Professor Fitz teaches freshmen, too.
"Friedman? She really great."
"Oh." Jade's face falls. "We have Fitz." She gets that familiar look on her face when anyone brings up our sexy English teacher.
Aria laughs. "I've heard he's really good. In more ways than one." She winks.
Just then a gorgeous girl with tan skin and a fit body comes out of the back holding a to go cup of coffee. "Aria Montgomery." The girl says, holding out the cup and smirking. Aria turns and gasps.
"Emily? What the heck are you doing here?" The girl comes out from behind the counter and they hug.
"I decided to take a year off before college for my shoulder. Paige is staying too. It was a really last minute decision, but I managed to get my job back. I wanted to surprise all of you together,so we definitely have to go out to dinner sometime."
"That's really great, Em. I'm so happy for you. How's Paige?"
The girl smiles. "She's great. We're great. I'll never forget about Maya, but I really love Paige and I know she loves me. We're really happy."
"That's so good." Aria replies. We walk towards the two friends.
"Sorry to interrupt, but we have to go. It was really nice to meet you, Aria. Maybe we'll see you around."
Aria turns toward us. "Yeah, it was great meeting you both." We wave and walk towards the door. Behind us, we hear the tan girl.
"So, how's Mr. Fitz?" She asks. We stop in our tracks. Eavesdropping is wrong, yes. But all things socially acceptable fly out the window when it comes to Fitz.
"Amazing. Perfect. It's like we're finally getting a break from all the craziness and it couldn't be better."
"What about your dad?" She asks.
"Let's just say staff dinners are not the most comfortable things. My dad and his date, Ezra and me? He's not the happiest person. But I am, and if my dad can't accept our relationship by now then it's a lost cause. I'm 18 now. A legal adult." We turn and walk back to Aria and the friend, Emily.
"Sorry, did you mean Professor Fitz? Like you're in a relationship with Professor Fitz?" Jade says. She's never been one to sugar coat.
"Sorry." Emily grimaces. "I've got to go. I'll talk to you later, Ar." With that, she disappears into the back room once again, leaving Aria looking nervous and unsure.
"Well, um. Yeah. Professor Fitz and I are dating." She resigns.
"But, you're his student. Isn't that illegal?" I ask.
"I'm not his student, actually. And I'm 18, so, there's really nothing illegal about it." We both nod, still in shock. Fitz is dating a freshman?
"Damn." Jade shakes her head. "You are one lucky girl. How long has this been going on?"
"Oh, about 3 years." She looks uncomfortable. I can see why. I remember Professor Fitz telling us he used to teach high school. They were still seeing each other while Aria was underaged and he was her teacher. "There was no force involved or anything. He thought I was older when we met. Please don't spread this around. If the story twists just a little bit Ezra, Fitz, and I could be in huge trouble. I've had enough of that for a lifetime." She laughs quietly.
"Don't worry." I reply. "We won't tell a soul." She smiles.
"You should hang with us." Jade says. "I think we could be great friends." Aria laughs and we all begin walking outside. "So, when you said he's good in more ways than one...you know first hand don't you?" She smirks. "This feels like the beginning of a fantastic friendship.
So? If this gets more than 5 reviews I'll keep going. If not, it'll be a one shot. R and R! I'm just an ezria fangirl with a broken heart.
In demigods we trust...
