Chapter 2: Forbidden

Aria didn't usually wake up in such a good mood on the first day of school. But her communications with Ezra, the incredibly handsome bookworm and absolute sex god, over the past few days had put her in a good mood. She quickly got dressed in a causal purple dress and dark brown (fake) leather jacket. She sent Ezra a quick good morning text before eating her breakfast then leaving for school.

Aria's friends were not surprised that she was unusually cheerful that morning. After leaving Ezra's apartment the morning after their night together, she had gone over to Spencer's house where the other girls had had a sleepover that she would've been part of if she hadn't spent the night with Ezra. Hanna had basically forced her to spill about her night with the handsome stranger. Aria remembered how Hanna's eyes had almost popped out of her head when she told her that Ezra had asked for her number before she left. Hanna's eyes had gotten even wider when she saw Ezra's text.

"Someone's awfully cheerful this morning," Hanna teased her when she joined the others in the courtyard. "Did you see Ezra again last night?"

"No, Han," Aria blushed. "We've only texted and called since then."

"He's called you?" Hanna gasped. "I can't even get Sean to do that."

"Well that's because Ezra's more mature than Sean," Aria responded. "He's not a high school boy, you know."

"Oh, I know," Hanna said in her overly suggestive way. "I saw him."

"We all did, Hanna," Spencer reminded her.

"I know that, Captain Obvious," Hanna responded. "Anyway, when are you gonna see him again, Aria?"

"I don't know," Aria shrugged. "Sometime."

"Well don't wait too long. He might forget why he's the 'luckiest guy,'" Hanna said with a wink.

"Oh, trust me. He'll never forget that," Aria said, throwing a wink over her shoulder as she headed inside with the bell. "Coming, ladies?"

The four friends were not reunited until 5th period in AP English. Aria was obviously not surprised to see Spencer and Emily in that class, but she was surprised to see Hanna there as well. Hanna really didn't seem like the AP type. However, her surprise at seeing Hanna in the class was nothing compared to her surprise at seeing another familiar face.

"Good morning, class. I'm Mr. Fitz and, as you can probably guess, I'm your AP English teacher this year..." He trailed off as he locked eyes with the girl in the second row, one desk over from the window.

Aria was beyond surprised when she realized who her English teacher was. Against her will, flashes of that night came back to her. Ezra was her English teacher. She had slept with her English teacher. She had screamed her English teacher's name. She had texted some very inappropriate thing to her English teacher. And now her English teacher was clearing his throat, trying to pretend that there wasn't anything unusual happening in his classroom.

He stayed composed for most of the rest of the lesson, but refused to look in Aria's direction again. When the bell rang, he finally addressed her.

"Aria, can I see you for a moment?" He called. Aria's friends all gave her a look. They knew. They recognized him. They knew why he was asking her to stay behind.

Ezra did not speak again until everyone else had left the room.

"You didn't tell me that you were in high school," he said.

"It never came up," she defended herself.

Ezra opened his mouth to respond, but then closed it, unable to think of a response.

"You should have told me," he finally responded.

"I didn't think it mattered. Believe me, I didn't know that you were a high school teacher. Let alone, my teacher."

"I know that you didn't know," Ezra admitted with a sigh. "But I could get in huge trouble for this, Aria."

"I know," Aria said.

"I mean, if I had known that you were my student, I never would've done anything with you," Ezra said.

"You wouldn't have?" She couldn't resist flirting with him just a little. "I thought you said that I made you the luckiest man there."

"What we did was wrong, Aria. We shouldn't have done it," he responded.

"You didn't answer my question," Aria persisted. She was curious.

"What we did was wrong," was his only response. "Please, no one can ever know," he pleaded.

"I won't tell anyone," Aria said. "I promise. I'm not interested in getting you in trouble."

"Thank you," Ezra said. "You can go now."

"Ezra-"

"You can go now, Miss Montgomery," he said firmly, getting up from his desk and opening the classroom door. Aria left without a word.

The other 3 girls were all over Aria at lunch, anxious to know what had happened after they had left the classroom.

"Nothing," Aria told them. "Nothing happened between us after you left the classroom. Nothing happened between us at the club. Nothing ever happened between us. He's just my teacher. Do you understand?" Aria scanned each of her friend's faces as they responded in unison with a "yes".

"Hanna?" Aria questioned the blond a second time.

"What? I said I got it," Hanna said.

"Did you really?" Aria questioned her. "This isn't like other secrets. You cannot tell this to anyone under any circumstances."

"I won't Aria," Hanna promised. "Promise."
