Chapter two – You're perfect
After 3rd period I put my books into my locker and grabbed the ones I would need for after lunch, I told the girls that I had a few things to do and that I would meet up with them later they wondered what I had to do but they just nodded .I headed for Mr Fitz room knowing this wouldn't be good.
I got to the door and looked into the class; there he was looking amazing sitting at his desk reading someone's work smiling hopefully it was her work. As I looked down he opened the door " Aria you came come inside " I nodded and stepped inside closing the door, he was already putting down all the curtains so know body could see what was happening between us.
As I sat down I took a deep breath and looked at him "I know things are not going to go good I'm old enough to understand that and I understand that I'm too young and things change since you are now my teacher I promise I wont make anything difficult between us and I will keep my distance "I whispered softly trying not to sound as upset as I felt.
I looked at him and he looked surprised but also I could see the pain in his eyes, he nodded and took my hand "I think your perfect Aria I really do, when I first met you I didn't know what to do I just wanted to get to know you more, I never knew you was only sixteen you sure don't look it and I guess I didn't care at the time. What I am trying to say is I care a lot about you and I know things are not going to be the same anymore due to I'm your PTA teacher but I want to let you know I'm always here for you no matter what time it is or what the subject is about, understand?"
Aria stood up, her hand brushed over Ezra's and nodded "I understand and thank you it means a lot to me and have fun teaching on your first day, you will do great "I smiled softly and walked out of the door going into the bathroom I walked into one of the cubicles and sat down on the floor crying, my heart had been ripped apart by the man who meant everything to me. Even though me and Ezra had not long met I felt a connection something that I have never felt before, it felt good to be around him but now she was going to do a lot to make sure she hardly saw him.
Days past and Aria could not stand being in the same class as him, every time she looked into his big brown eyes she just melted she couldn't concentrate and people started to notice something was wrong. After thinking about what she was going to do next she looked at a form she had gotten from the office asking to move classes from Mr Fitz to Mr Jones that was she could get away from him.
It was quite early in the morning when she arrived in school; her brother was off on tour with the basket ball team so he didn't need a lift which was a good thing. As she walked up the long hall way she looked around laughing softly she had so many memories here and she didn't want them to end.
She saw Mr Fitz in the hall and looked at him "Can I talk to you for a second it won't take long?"Ezra nodded and smiled "Of course you can what can I help you with?"
Aria looked into his eyes trying to be strong "I would like to transfer out of your class and into Mr Jones but I need to get this form signed could you sign it for me please?"
Ezra's smile dropped he really didn't see this coming; he knew things would be a bit awkward between them but he didn't expect her to move classes over it "Can you come inside please?"
Aria nodded and opened the door going inside and sitting down at one of the desks, she looked around and signed this would probably be one of the last times she is ever in his class." What is it that you couldn't tell me out there?" she asked in a nice tone.
He sat in one of the seats in front of her " Aria I know things have been awkward between us but you don't have to move classes, I would love to teach you your one of my top students and I really think you could become a teacher or a writer, please Aria stay in the class" he asked her
Aria felt a few tears flow down her face she didn't know what to say "I really want to say in your class, you're an amazing person and teacher but I think I'm making the right choice, ive thought about this for the last couple of days and I don't know what else I can do to make it any easier "
He shook his head " I can keep my feeling in check in class and outside of class when I see you around, I promise I wont do anything to distract you or anything "
Aria let a few more tears run down her face " Ezra I can't keep my feeling in check though that's the point, I don't what to do anymore, it kills me to do this but I think you would be better if I was out of your way so you don't have to see me or remind of the mistake you made " Aria left the letter on his desk and turned around crying she went to walk out of the room when he grabbed her by the hand and turned her around " Please don't do this please not now "
She could see the pain in Ezra's eyes she reached up and kissed him on the cheek before turning away and running out of the door, she gasped as the tears was flooding down her face she never wanted to see that pain she saw in his eyes again she wondered if it was not to late to go back to Iceland.
Aria made her way to the office and give the form Mr Fitz had singed it for her, hopefully she wouldn't have to ask him anything anymore, she handed in the form and the woman shook her head "Aria I am very sorry but you can not move classes there is not any classes I can put you in, your in the highest class possible right now I'm sorry "Aria just nodded and walked out, her next lesson was English and she had to face him again.
She didn't go straight to English she went to the bathroom to sort herself out, as she looked in the mirror she shook her head her make up had runner all down her face and she looked like a clown but she didn't care her make up was just a mask however all the pain was seeping through the cracks.
After a few minutes she finally walked out of the bathroom and to the class, she opened the door and looked at Mr Fitz as she walked past his table, Aria put the decline form on his desk before she went to sit in her seat a row up from the back. As she sat down her friends asked her what happened but Aria just shook her head "Don't worry about it, nothing important "
As she looked up she looked directly into Ezra's eyes she smiled softly at him, his eyes was brighter but also still she could see that he was upset. Aria looked down and started to focus on her work she smiled reading the book Romeo and Juliet was one of her favourites she loved the idea of finding someone she loved and running away with them however live is no fair tale and some things have to end even though you don't want them too.
As the bell went Aria started to pack her stuff up when Mr Fitz said her name "Aria may you stay behind please after the bell I just want to talk to you about the competition I am going to enter you in "Aria was surprised that he had entered her into a competition with out asking but she knew he was only trying to help, once everyone had gone she sat at the front of the desks and looked at him "Okay so what competition is it?"She asked softly in a light voice
He looked at her and smiled " It's a writing competition I thought you would win but I didn't know if you wanted to do is so I thought I would enter you in it as a surprise, listen hear me out before you do anything it would be a wonderful experience, you would get to go to London for four days I would have to go with you since you would have to have your English teacher with you but that doesn't matter what do you say "
Aria looked at him in shock she just didn't know what to say " Thank you Mr Fitz I didn't expect this at all, I mean I didn't think I was good enough to be in a competition like this, I don't know how to thank you it means a lot to me that you care" she giggled softly and looked around " Oh what's it on ?"
Ezra took a few books of his desk and put them on her desk "Well first you have to pick a book to write on and its on either Romeo and Juilet, Midsummers night dream or Hamlet, then after that you then you go a at least a 11 pages story on anything you wish to write on, is that okay?, if its too much then I will help you on the way things that you could write on or anything that you want to talk about "
Aria looked through the books and smiled " Its jut perfect, and that's very nice of you I will probably come and see you whilst your in class if that is okay to you know go over a few things, I would ask my dad for help but he goes overboard, he is trying to persuade me to go to Hollis but I am not sure yeti don't know if I like the idea of him teaching me, I wouldn't mind if I had another teacher but still I still have to think about it " Aria laughed softly and looked at him
Ezra laughed softly with her " I am glad you have decided to do this competition you have a very good shot in winning this and if you ever need anything when we are outside school then here is my number" he wrote his number on a piece of paper and gived it to Aria, he knew things could get better it could go both ways.
Aria took his number and gived him a piece of paper back with her number on it " And I am going to do the same for you, if you ever need anything or fancy just hanging out I could cook for you or something I honestly don't mind, my way of saying thank you for everything you have done for me " Before she left she kissed him on the cheek and walked out before going to her car, she smiled still thinking about when she touched his skin .
Aria started up her car and signed as it wouldn't move she rolled her eyes and put her jacket on and grabbed her book, she started to walk it wasn't that far she would only take half n hour by walking. As she started to get to the town it started to rain but she didn't care, Aria popped in to get a skinny latte and headed back into the rain, as she sipped her coffee she started to feel really light headed and sick, she holded onto the wall and made her way to the end of the street.
There wasn't any passing car's so she couldn't ask for help or anything, as she put her head between her legs she felt a cold touch on her arms she gasped and looked up standing in the rain was Ezra Fitz he looked at her and shook his head " Aria what's the matter why are you here standing out in the rain"
Aria just looked up at him in pain whispering " My car wouldn't start I started to walk home when I started to have pains in my sides, stomach and chest I didn't know what to do so I kept on walking and then I got to here and I couldn't walk anymore" Aria started to breathe in and out trying to stay calm
Ezra put his arms around her and picked her up "I'm taking you to my car, so I can take you home is anyone there to look after you"? He asked a bit worried. Aria looked at him and holded on tightly "No they are all out of town business and school but I'm fine honestly "she holded in her breath
Aria told Ezra the directions to her house and shook her head; he really didn't need to do this. As they drove to the house Aria couldn't help but look at him a few times, he was amazing she couldn't think of another better word. They turned around the corner and Aria looked at him as he parked "Thank you Ezra, this was nice of you "
Ezra helped her out " I'm going to stay with you just so I know you are okay if you don't mind, I just want to make sure you don't get worse "
Aria didn't have a word in this what so ever, he picked her up into his arms and walked to the door, she bit her lip as she opened it and tried getting out of his arms but she didn't have the strength and he did hold her quite hard so she couldn't move.
Once the door was closed he finally put her down she smiled at him and nodded " Right thanks and I'm sure I don't have a say about if you stay or not so would you like a cup of coffee or something ?" Aria walked over to the kitchen and put some coffee into the machine, Ezra just nodded at her "sure thanks that would be nice "
Aria sat at the table and made the coffee she laughed lightly looking at Ezra, she couldn't believe he was standing in her house having coffee with her "Ezra can I ask you something?"
Ezra was curious now but also afraid of what she was going to ask "Sure you can ask away as long as I can have a question to ask you too"
Aria nodded and looked at him "Why are you doing this all for me, I mean you look honestly worried about me, im just wondering why?"
Ezra just looked at her as he drunk the first bit of his coffee " Isn't it obvious Aria, I may be your teacher but the feelings I have for you are not something that I can just switch off. I wish I didn't have these feeling for you then you wouldn't have to worry about some stupid 24 year old teacher crushing over you, I tried to hide it but so far I don't think I have been doing a good so far "He laughed lightly trying to lighten the mood.
Aria smiled softly as she looked at him "I am glad you told me this, I am going to tell you what I think after you ask me the question so just wondering what is the question, what ever it is I shall answer it "
Ezra smirked softly putting his head to the side "What do you think about me, you said I could ask you anything I wanted to so this is that "
Aria laughed softly " Is that it well okay here goes, I think your amazing, perfect one of the most poilet,funny,intresting and if I have to say this damn good looking. My feelings are not going to change for you no matter what happens "After admitting this to him I felt much better, he knew how I felt and I knew how he felt.
Ezra came closer to her and took her hand in his; it felt so natural he didn't care about anything apart from being with her now. Aria looked into his eyes "What do we do now "she whispered. As Ezra looked up he met her eyes "Whatever you want to do I don't mind, what you feel like doing."
Aria laughed softly "Sweet making me think of it, how about we just talk and see what happens, I can not think of anything else " From this moment on she knew things would get better, she didn't know how good things was going to get but she knew they would get better than they already was.
