The sun arose at 6:30 am, like it always did. Inside the dorm rooms, girls of all ages began to awake. Aria was one of the first to rise as she was having a great dream: one of her and Ezra. She automatically brushed her teeth, ate breakfast, changed, and brushed her teeth again. Then, Aria proceeded with Lizzy to her first block, English.
The first half of class Aria doodled in her notebook and daydreamed. However, in the back of her head she could hear her teacher, Ms. Lotze, talk about some visiting author. Because she loved authors (and wanted to become one herself), Aria began to listen to her teacher.
"So, our visiting author in fact is quite young. He has written a few poems, keeps an online journal, and wrote a best-selling book. He was actually a teacher for a bit less than a year," Ms. Lotze explained in the front of the class. "Quite frankly, I am surprised he decided to come to this school for such a cheap price."
The class started rambling on about how they hoped the author would be hot. They all thought that they could have a chance getting his attention.
"What's his best-seller called?" Lizzy asked from the seat next to Aria.
"Can we read some of his poems?" Someone else asked.
"We will definitely read lots of his writing," Ms. Lotze answered. "In fact, we will even do a assignment on one of his poems."
Everybody groaned.
"And, Lizzy, thanks for reminding me," Aria's teacher stated as she grabbed a pile of books from the top of her desk, "we are going to read his most famous book. It's called, The One That Got Away. The book is actually quite new. I think you'll all like it."
With that, Ms. Lotze began to pass around copies of a book. As soon as Aria received her copy, she couldn't believe her eyes. There, on the cover, was a picture of her. A picture of her and Ezra. A picture of her and Ezra with their faces hidden in paper bags. It was their first picture.
Then, Aria's eyes began to wander the rest of the cover of the book. And of course, Aria thought she was daydreaming. There, at the bottom of the cover were the two words she loved the most. The two words that she spent days dreaming about. They were the two words that meant the world to her. There, on the cover of the book, lay the words Ezra Fitz.
