ARIA'S POV
I walked out of the room as quickly as I could without turning around when listening to his deep voice. That same one that had drove me insane all through out first period. I headed straight into my next classroom not even bothering to stop by my locker to leave some books.
"Hey Aria wait!" someone called from behind me. I turned around to see Hanna walking towards me, waving her hand up in the air.
"Hi Hanna. Where are you heading?" I asked trying not to sound very angry or confused, or whatever was happening to me.
"I have math right now, I think I am with you too" At least I had her with me during next period to distract me for another hour, I thought.
"Yes, I have math too" I started to walk again through the halls, the bell signaling the start of second period. "Common' Hanna we are late"
Once inside of the classroom we seated ourselves in the few places left. The teacher introduced himself, as Mr. Fitz had done in English, and explained what we were going to work on this year. She gave us some photocopies to start revising what we did last year and start with some new things.
I had never liked maths or physics but was I pretty good at them. However, there was no way I could get to concentrate, and I knew exactly why. Images of beautiful blue eyes and brown curly hair came into my mind and wouldn't go out.
The first time I saw him, when he said my name and I looked up from my journal, when our eyes met and our gazes locked, I knew I was screwed for good. Staring at his eyes, I didn't imagine him as my teacher, I thought about him as a very young good-looking man. He was wearing this white shirt rolled up until his elbows with a blue thin tie that matched perfectly with his eyes, and with that, some dark trousers that hung from his hips in such a sexy way that made me lose my breath.
The only thing I didn't understand was his sudden change of mood when I told him about not wanting him to read my stories. He went from kind and friendly to cold and actually being a teacher without giving anything away.
'Right, he was just doing his job' my subconscious said. And then that spark, when our fingers brushed, I didn't understand why that happened either. I'd heard about it, you know, when you like somebody and you know it's the one, and you feel this sparks and butterflies. But this couldn't be the case, he was my teacher, this wasn't right, I shouldn't had felt that way, not when I had Noel in my life too. I didn't even know why I was worrying so much about him, about his deep voice talking to me and saying good bye, his eyes...
It was as clear as water. The best thing I could do was to be realistic, I liked him. I liked my teacher. Damn, I was so screwed and it was wrong and it was never going to happen. I couldn't let it happen, it would be dangerous for him in first place and second and more important of all, I had Noel.
We talked each day when I was in Iceland. I had been there for two school years and I came a few weeks during the summer but I hadn't seen him. Then before starting this year back in Rosewood he asked me out. He came to pick me up at the airport when I arrived yesterday, as my parents were staying one week more to finish organizing things there, and I couldn't use my car until they arrived. But I didn't understand my feelings for 'Fitz'. I knew him for what, an hour of class? That didn't stop me from feeling strangely good when I was looking into his eyes.
The bell had rung before I expected it to do. In the rest of the classes I had today I wasn't with the girls or Noel, so I just had to wait until we met in the cafeteria to eat something. When I went out of my last class before lunch, the girls were waiting for me at the door. The four of us hugged, missing spending time together. The girls were what I had missed most during my time in Iceland.
"Common I want to get really good seats in the cafeteria, move girls!" said Spencer pulling Emily with her as she started walking.
"Yes common Hanna, I am really hungry" I started to walk with Hanna behind me as we reached Spencer and Emily that were ahead.
"Hey Aria, now you have Noel's mouth to eat so leave the food to me. When did that happen anyway?" said Hanna laughing. These typical rude comments I had missed so much.
"HANNA!" the three of us spoke at the same time.
"What?! I want details" she said.
The four of us looked at each other and shared a last laugh before going into the cafeteria. Fifteen minutes later, we were sitting in a table having lunch.
"So Aria, how is Noel?" Started Hanna again giving me a wink. I laughed before answering.
"He is fine, perfect you know" I said smirking.
"I saw you and Caleb today" said Spencer smirking back at Hanna.
"We're fine too, actually we are better than ever" She jumped in her seat before adding, "Talking about cuties, did any of you had English apart from Aria? I think I'm going to love it this year"
"I have my first class tomorrow" said Spencer.
"Me too" agreed Emily.
"Why are you going to love it? You hate reading" they asked.
I didn't wait for Hanna's reply as I answered myself "She thinks the teacher is hot" I tried not to let my feelings show, and luckily they bought it.
"He is hot" Hanna argued.
"He is NOT hot" I argued back. We kept like that for a few minutes until Noel and Caleb came to our table.
"Who is hot?" asked Noel.
Without wanting to tell him the truth, I got up after he had left his tray in the table and kissed him, then replied with a simple. "You are" They both sat down, Caleb next to Hanna and Noel next to me, as I hugged myself closer to him. This felt right I thought. We kept talking promising Hanna and Caleb to go on a double date sometime and deciding to go to the party Noel was invited to at the end of the month.
The four of them kept talking and I climbed onto Noel's lap. We kept quiet, hugging and giving small pecks to each other. He was so nice to me it was just wonderful to have him in my life. Hanna coughed and made a sign towards the door. As I moved my head to one side to see what it was I saw Mr. Fitz. Our eyes locked as soon as he looked towards my direction, as if pulled by an unknown force. I could see real hurt in his eyes and I didn't understand why, but before I could give him a questioning look his expression suddenly turned into ice cold, he turned around and walked out of the cafeteria without even having lunch. I was angry at Mr. Fitz when we finished the class because of his reaction and he noticed he shouldn't have reacted that way because he tried to lighten the mood by saying goodbye. After what just happened, I wasn't angry, just confused. I decided I wasn't going to pay any attention to him. I had Noel, and he was the one with me now.
I kissed Noel again and turned to Hanna and shook my head at her and let out a false laugh. We didn't have fifth period that day and the girls offered me a ride home but I decided to wait for Noel to finish his practice. I had an hour to walk around high school without doing anything. I finally decided to go to the library to read or write some more. Nearly all the desks were empty. I walked into the back of the library and sat on my favorite spots next to the window, smiling when I saw it hadn't changed. I got out my book, 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and my journal in case inspiration hit me. The book I was reading was just poems, speeches and some short stories and plays.
A few minutes later, I was in the world of poems and wonderful old stories that I liked so much. I looked up once when a familiar voice said my name.
"Mr. Fitz?" Our eyes met once again and the pull I had felt during first period came back. "What are you doing here?" I asked. Teachers usually went home once they had finished their classes.
"I have this meeting in an hour or so with all of the other teachers of the English department and I decided to stay. What's your reason?" he said half smiling.
This confused me, first kind then cold and now kind again. I didn't know how to treat him anymore. 'As your teacher' my subconscious said. "I'm waiting for someone" I replied not really wanting to bring up Noel.
'Manners Aria' my subconscious reminded me. He was still standing up and awkwardly staring "Do you want to sit down?" I asked shyly.
He nodded and sat down in front of me. He reached for 'To Kill A Mockingbird' and then looked at me. "Have you started reading it?" he asked with that deep voice that made butterflies go crazy in my stomach.
I closed what I was reading and looked at him. He was reading specific pages of the book and smiling. I could see his mouth silently reciting the book from memory.
"I've actually read it two times, its one of my favorite books" he closed the book and looked up at me not quite believing what I just said. Yes, I thought, I'm different. I like writing, reading old books, poetry and watching black and white movies instead of going shopping, doing my nails or my hair. I mean, I liked it but I preferred other things. He was probably not interested in me anymore, if he ever was, that he wasn't. He kept staring at me until he seemed to recover. I blushed without reason. I hated blushing. But I couldn't control it when near Mr. Fitz.
"Are you serious?" I just nodded. Then I opened my journal and scribbled something on it.
"Two big blue eyes,
Each time I see them I get lost,
But deep deep inside,
I don't want to get found"
He just stared at me with his mouth opened. He was now looking at my journal. I stopped and looked up to see him still staring at me a few minutes later. I knew he really wanted to read my stories. I smiled and chuckled which made him snap back to the library.
"What? Why are you laughing?" He said smiling. He had such a beautiful smile.
"Nothing, you were just staring and making very obvious you want to read my stories" I laughed again.
"It's just... you're so different from the rest of the girls"
My smile faded and I looked down to my journal without writing anything. What was that supposed to mean? He placed his hand on top of mine and with the other one pulled my chin up.
"Different is not bad, I am different too" he took his hand away from my chin and I looked up myself to see his perfect boyish smile again which made my whole body melt. "I actually like different"
As he said that I became completely shocked. Did he just say that he liked me? We remained silent. He was leaning over the table. As was I. We were so close. I could smell his perfume. Neither of us said anything, we just stared into each other's eyes. I really felt the urge to kiss him, to feel his lips on mine. But he was off limits for me. And even though I knew age wouldn't be an issue, he was my teacher. As much as I wanted it to happen it couldn't. I could read in his eyes the same battle that was in my head.
He removed his hand from mine and leaned back in his chair placing his hands in his lap. I looked down again, already missing his contact and blushed. This was awkward. Before I could look back up he started talking.
"I'm sorry Aria, that was completely inappropriate from my part" he said as he stood up "You know, English literature drives me crazy, literally... and well I should get going"
I gave him a shy smile mixed with a disappointed look. "Yes, I should get going too" I got my journal and books and placed them back into my backpack and with that we were walking silently towards the door. When we reached it we turned to face each other without saying anything.
"See you in class Mrs. Montgomery?"
He was getting formal now? After telling me, well not exactly, that he liked me? Please it wasn't the time, plus I didn't want to get formal. I realized that I didn't want a teacher student relationship, I wanted him. I nodded thinking about what I could say to make him realize what I wanted more, no matter the risk. Before he could open the door completely, I talked and he came to face me once again.
"Mr. Fitz, I..." he was looking straight into my eyes and in that moment, the door slammed opened nearly knocking him to the floor. Noel appeared on the other side.
"Hey" he said smiling and leaned in for a sweet passionate kiss. Even though I liked Noel there was something making me feel awkward and that was Mr. Fitz. He was still standing there. When we broke apart Noel saw Mr. Fitz and blushed a little making me giggle.
"Um hey Mr. Fitz" he nodded and replied by saying his name too, then he looked back at me. This time I couldn't tell what he was thinking he had built up his teacher barriers again.
"See you in class Mrs. Montgomery." he nodded again in Noel's direction and with that he was gone. And for the first time, I felt like what I had with Noel didn't felt as good as it should be.
A/N: I hope you liked chapter too. I'm currently writing chapter three and I am really enjoying it. Hardy is going to appear and Aria is being "saved" by Mr. Fitz. I know what you want and it will come very very soon. Kisses – A
