A/N: Everything in the show has happened excluding Maggie. I hate her.


Aria

"Mr. Fitz?" Aria peered in to his classroom 15 minutes before the school day started with Sutton at her heels. Aria had offered to show Sutton around.

"Aria, please, come in," Ezra looked startled. He leaned foreward at his desk and stood up. "Who's this?" he said with a cheesy grin on his face.

"This is Sutton Mercer, she just moved here from Pheonix and is enrolling here. I asked the front desk and they said you had some extra room in seventh period, with me. I just wanted to introduce her to you,"

Aria was good at this, acting like she was just Ezra's student. In all honesty, she had just offered to show Sutton around just to see Ezra before class. With all of the parent drama they've gone through, Aria took every chance to see him. She went over to his apartment almost every night, ate luch with him at least twice a week (And told her friends that she needed help on the reading assignment).

When Alison, Emily, Spencer, and Hanna found out about Ezra, everyone but Ali was surprised. "I knew there was something different about you," she had said.

"Aria?" Ezra tapped her on the shoulder, snapping Aria out of her thoughts. "I have room for Sutton, don't worry. And I was wondering if you could stop by during your free period. I need to talk to you about your essay," Aria nodded.

"Thank you, Mr. Fitz," Sutton cut in.

"I will see you both later," Ezra said, sitting back down at his desk, letting Aria lead Sutton out of his room.

"He's cute!" Sutton's eyes got wide as she leaned against the lockers. Aria almost gagged. How would Sutton know about her and Ezra?

"Yeah, I guess you can say that," Aria faked a laugh and a smile. She knew it was true.

"Do you like english class? I know I will," Sutton's eyebrows lifted in a seductive way. Shoot. She wants Ezra. Aria, clean this up! Aria thought to herself.

"I think he has a girlfriend," Aria covered up, hopefully, subtly.

"Won't stop me," Sutton said, winking. Aria suddenly felt a bead of sweat running down her forehead. What if Ezra chose Sutton over her?


Free Period

Aria couldn't wait to stop by Ezra's room. She stood at her locker, putting on a fresh layer of strawberry lipgloss, Ezra's favorite. She slammed her locker shut and made her way down the hall. Aria took a deep breath before slowly cracking open the classroom door.

"I can assure you, everything will work out fine. You can count on me," a familiar voice said. Aria heard Ezra clear his throat.

"Alison, if you want to drop this class, we can do that. If you don't want to make this harder than it already is,"

"Oh really?"

Aria took this time to knock loudly on the door and enter, as if she hadn't heard anything. "Mr. Fitz! You..." her sentence drifted off when she saw Alison standing next to Ezra's desk.

"Ali! What a surprise! I didn't know you were coming," Aria was acting oblivious, obviously.

"I was actually just leaving," Alison stuttered. "I'll talk to you tomorrow, Mr. Fitz." Ali licked her lips, nervously, and strutted out of the room, her heels clicking on the fake, tile floor. Aria waited a few seconds before closing the door and locking it.

"Ezra?"

"Aria?" he had a confused look on his face.

"Don't act like I didn't hear you conversation. What was that?" Aria demanded.

"Y-you heard the conversation?" Ezra stammered.

"Just the end," Aria went over and put her hand over his.

"Alison wanted to know if she could transfer to Honors English with your mom instead of AP with me,"

"Oh. I didn't know that," Aria said simply. "But why wouldn't she want to stay in this class. With you as the teacher, I'm sure she's gunning for you," she joked.

"Sorry, I'm already taken," Ezra tilted his head down, closing the gap between the two of them. Aria got the hint and kissed him, not knowing who was watching them.
