"Alright guys, we leave at 7 a.m. sharp for Miami, Florida and I promise you that the plane will not wait for you if you don't arrive at the airport on time."
Mr. Fitz crossed his arms as he made his way to Aria Montgomery's desk which was the third seat in the fourth row. Once he arrived to the side of her desk he could hear the dead silence of the classroom.
"And Miss Montgomery, I do hope you're catching up on your hours of sleep now and will be there bright and early tomorrow morning."
{Aria's POV}
I fluttered my eyelids open as I was suddenly awakened by Mr. Fitz hovering over me, arms crossed, and a grim look plastered to his face. I looked around and saw a few people laughing, including my friends.
I quickly returned my gaze back to him and put on the best fake smile I could muster up.
"Sorry, Mr. Fitz."
He gave me a nod before returning to the chalkboard to go over a few precautions. I have never fallen asleep in English class. It happened to be my favorite subject and what I was the best at.
I hadn't gotten much sleep these past few weeks due to countless study sessions, organizing numerous events for the endless committees I was in charge of, and last but not least, PROM.
I still hadn't decided who I wanted to go with but my three closest friends Hanna, Spencer, and Emily wanted me to go with the Quarterback, Josh Hamilton. He really wasn't my type but I was junior and he was a senior, not to mention the most popular guy in the school.
I looked at the clock and noticed only 5 minutes of class remained before I went back to looking at Mr. Fitz. No one knew but I had a secret. I have a crush on Mr. Fitz. Actually you could say it was more than that.
It was the kind that made your breathing quicken, your lips tremble, and you grow weak in your knees. So you could say I had it bad. The bell rang, signaling the end of class as Mr. Fitz adjusted his tie.
"Don't forget, 7 a.m. sharp people and you will be left if you're late."
I got up, smoothing down my skirt as I grabbed my supplies to head off to my next class. Once everyone exited the room, I made my way up to his desk.
I smiled to myself as I watched him sitting down, running a loose hand through his curls and taking a sip of his coffee. I adjusted my books in my arms before speaking.
"Sorry Mr. Fitz for falling asleep today in class. I swear it will never happen again."
He raised his head and set down his pen from grading a few papers before giving me a light smile.
"It's quite alright Aria. I know that you're definitely a busy girl who probably just needs a break from this hectic world."
I nodded as I laughed lightly in agreement.
"Yeah, a vacation would be nice. Anyway, sorry again and I'll see you in the morning."
I gave him a quick wave before leaving the room and headed to my locker to get the necessary materials for my next class, Geometry.
Lunch rolled around before I knew it and I was sitting at the same table I had been since 7th grade, enjoying a slice of pizza with Emily, Spencer, and Hanna.
"Look at Josh checking you out from over there," said Hanna as she took a drink of her water.
I glanced over at the football table and sure enough, Josh was staring. He gave me a huge grin as he waved at me. I tried to be polite as I smiled back and returned to looking at my friends.
"He totally wants you Aria," Emily said as she gave me an assuring look.
"I don't know guys," I said as I shrugged and took a nibble of my pizza.
"Hey, maybe you can actually lose your V-card to him and be the most popular girl in the school," piped up Hanna with a huge popsicle grin.
"Hanna," shouted Spencer as she hit her gently on the arm, knowing she went too far.
I nearly choked on my pizza as I heard her suggestion. In all honesty, I had been the most popular girl in my class as far as I could remember.
But actually losing my virginity, I didn't know if I was ready, let alone did I want to give it to Josh. I wanted to be in love first before that ever came to mind.
I looked over and noticed Mr. Fitz looking concerned at me, probably due to my almost choking incident. I looked down quickly, hoping this lunch period would get over quickly.
As soon as I got home I made sure to get all my belongings I would need, together. Before I knew it I had a bag full of clothes, shoes, accessories, make-up, and necessities. I guess my mom didn't really help downsize matters either.
I was definitely looking forward to going to Florida for a whole week. Our assignment while there was to learn the people, religion, and culture, then write a 100-page fictional book based on our experiences.
I let out a sigh, ready to take in the gorgeous beaches and breathtaking view. Who knows, maybe I could even see Mr. Fitz shirtless. I grinned as I quickly changed in a pair of Soffe shorts and tank-top, gathering my hair in a ponytail.
I pulled back my covers, climbing into bed and placing them back over me. I shut my eyes as soon as my head hit the pillow, ready to be stranded in paradise.
