ARIAS POV:

Noel just stood there, with anticipation in his eyes just like Ezra had when he asked me out just a couple hours ago. I've never been asked out on a date twice in the same day before. And figures that its two guys I really like. One whom I have just met and shared an amazing connection with and then there's Noel...Something about Noel attracts me to him, and it's not just his extremely good looks. But the thing is if I say yes to Noel and we really hit it off me and Ezra's encounter would be well...pointless. And I don't want that special moment to go away...ever. Plus, I and Ezra's "date" if you will didn't even happen. I guess you could say our relationship is in reverse. Usually it starts with the meeting, the date and then the full on make out session in the pouring rain. I and Ezra...skipped a step and I wanted to experience that step with him so I had to tell Noel: "I really like you Noel. Always have but I guess right now isn't the best time. I'm so sorry Noel, I really am." Noel looked surprised and I didn't blame him. I'm surprised with myself too. Then he smiled at me and gave me an unexpected hug. "That's fine Aria. I really like you and I thought we could take the next step forward." He said as he hugged me tighter, our bodies colliding. That went...well I thought to myself. Then he left my room as though nothing happened.

EZRA'S POV:

I stared at my reflection in the washroom mirror. This is it Ezra. My first real teaching job after all those years of hard work and late night study sessions. Rosewood High was where I can call home now. I adjusted my navy blue tie and walked into the kitchen area of my small but cozy apartment. I didn't mind though. It was just me living here anyways. I poured coffee into my travel mug, grabbed my bag and closed and locked apartment 2B behind me.

I parked my silver Toyota Camry in teacher parking at Rosewood High and gathered all my belongings. My first class started in 40 minutes so I had time to kill. I decided to look at my class attendance book to get to know my first period English class. I wanted to get to know them... starting with their names. I scanned through the list, John, Beth, Sydney, Jacob, Spencer, Noel, Aria, Mona, WAIT A SECOND. ARIA? The only Aria I have ever heard of was the beautiful girl I met at the Hollis book store. But it couldn't be the same Aria right? It couldn't be. The Aria I met was at least nineteen or twenty. I paced around my desk and placed my hand on my forehead. Did she really look nineteen or twenty? Or did I just want her to look of age. Is she actually my sixteen year old English student? I decided that the Aria I met at the book store and shared the best kiss I have ever had and the Aria that was about to be my student were two totally different people. But oh my God, what if she really is my student? That moment we shared together would be perished. I can't have a relationship with Aria if she's my student. I can't give in to the temptation. She's a minor and it would be absolutely inappropriate, not to mention illegal! I wrote my name on the board and made my way to the staff room and refill my coffee cup. I'm a big coffee drinker. No one was in the staff room but me. The rest of their teachers were probably already in their classrooms stressing over this day and wishing it was still summer break. I on the other hand couldn't wait for this day to start. Those forty minutes went by in a flash. I prepared myself as I walked into my classroom. Is Aria really in this class? I open the door and scan the room. Aria is nowhere to be seen. But then again, there were only four people in the class at this time. This was going to be more painful than I thought. Finally the bell rang and bunches of groups emerged in my classroom. I greeted them as they walked in, until my jaw dropped to the floor. Well it felt like it was. I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I speculated this all morning. Aria stopped dead in her tracks as she came through the door. She looked just as shocked and confused as I was. Not to mention completely embarrassed. I didn't blame her. This was very confusing for the both of us. A dark haired boy noticed Aria's confused face and took her hand "Aria what's the matter? See another ghost like you said you swear you saw one last night?" he said with a laugh. The ways he touched her and said remember last night made me question if that was Aria's boyfriend. It also made me envious because I will never be able to touch her like that. It's official. She's the student and I'm the teacher. We can never be a couple now. "Something like that." Aria said to the dark haired boy glaring at me as she spoke. She walked over to her seat and the dark haired boy followed and sat at the desk in front of her. "You have the best seat in the house" he said to Aria. Who was this guy? If he really was her boyfriend why would she kiss me back with such force that she did? She let out a fake giggle and stared at me again questioned. Then I noticed that the rest of the class was staring at me too waiting for me to say something. I placed my coffee on my wooden desk. "I'm Mr. Fitz" I started. I glanced around and saw Aria still looking shocked and confused. I hope she knows I have the same emotions going on right now. I didn't know how our confrontation was going to be like. To be honest I'm kind of worried. "I'll be your new English teacher." I continued with a fake smile, while really I'm dying inside. "And since I'm new I would like to know more about each and every one of you. I want to share a...personal relationship with you."Some more than others I said to myself as Aria's presence floated through my mind. "After I'm done boring you with my life story shortened, shortened only because we have forty minutes and you all need to share okay? Okay! I'll start!" I then went on about myself. Talking about where I was from, my interests, why I got into teaching, my love for literature and those kinds of things. I asked if anyone had any questions and a girl called out "So Mr. Fitz, are you single?" The whole class laughed including me but one person...Aria. It must have been Aria's close friend because she quickly nudged her and whispered to her "Hanna was that an appropriate question to ask your English teacher?" I quickly nodded "Your right!" I said to Aria and her friend Hanna "Not a very appropriate question. But yes, I am single." Aria quickly snapped her head right at me and grinned. "Okay class calm down. I gave myself to you and now I'd like you to individually stand up, tell me your name, and share anything about yourselves, really anything. Maybe what you did in the summer, your favourite things, what you can't live without" I glanced as Aria as I said that last one. I'm pretty sure she noticed. I only met her yesterday for Christ's sake and now she's my student. I shouldn't be getting any ideas about the two of us, because if I do it will hurt the both of us. "Got it? Good! We'll start with this side." I pointed to the right side, where Aria was seated. I did it on purpose so I could learn more about her right away. Oh and the other students of course. The first person to go was a girl named Mona who went on and on about her "Fabulous trip to Paris". I always try to stay away from the high maintenance type girls. I'd rather be with the down to earth type. I know I should be listening and paying more attention to the other students talking but honestly the only one I want to hear is Aria. And I want to hear the boy who follows aria around like some bodyguard. And do you know, the boy stood up and said "Hi, I'm Noel Khan. I love sports; I play lacrosse along with many other sports." Typical teenage boy, I thought to myself. Am I jealous of this Noel guy? Noel continued, "But, I think people have the wrong perspective of me. You all think that I'm some dumb jock but really I absolutely love to read and I'm very much into literature." The room was silent with his confession until I spoke, "I'm glad to hear that Noel. You're in the right class." Actually he wasn't. Any class he was in with Aria was the wrong class for him. I noticed as Noel was talking he wasn't really sharing with me. It looked more like he was speaking directly to Aria and was trying to tell her something, trying to get his point across. He sat down and now it was Aria's turn. As she stood up the bell rang indicating it was time for second period."That's okay Aria, you can share tomorrow along with the rest of you." She gave me a look that said what the heck? Then I gave her a look that said what did I do? Then I realized what I did. I called her by her name when we haven't even spoken to each other. At least that's what the class inferred. I shook it off and told the class to prepare to share and prepare to have fun year. "You yourselves determine what kind of year you're going to have. Be positive and have a great and positive year or be negative and have negative year. You decide. Have a good day guys." I finished. That was really awkward. Aria was the last to leave the room taking her time. I noticed she was writing something in her notebook. She ripped the page out and came towards me with silence. All we heard was the sound of her shoes hitting the floor. And that incredible smirk on her kissable lips, I really want to kiss those lips. She stopped in front of me and slipped the note into my shirt pocket. "I have to get to class MR. Fitz". She emphasized on the Mr. Fitz part of that sentence. She left the room and didn't look back. I stared down at my shirt pocket. Finally I built up the nerve to open the note and read it. It said in all capital letters:

WE NEED TO TALK! I'LL MEET YOU IN THIS

CLASSROOM AT 3:05PM! "" ;)

-ARIA

This should be interesting.

ARIA'S POV:

A second didn't go by that I didn't think of Ezra, or should I call him Mr. Fitz? No! I'm calling him Ezra. I met him first as Ezra. If I knew he was going to be my teacher than I wouldn't have made out with him in the pouring rain. Now I can't look at him the same way anymore. I'm going to have to sit in his classroom and call him Mr. Fitz. I can't just leave it being awkward and embarrassing for the both of us without any type of confrontation. I just can't, so that's why I slipped him a note saying we need to talk and hopefully we can truthfully confront our feelings for each other. I know this sounds wrong on so many levels but I'm hoping we can continue our relationship where it left off. I've always wanted a forbidden relationship. It keeps it fun and adventurous. And I also find student teacher relationships totally hot. As the bell rang I gathered all my belongings and walked the halls of Rosewood High until I got to the English room. It was 3:05 sharp. Perfect, right on time. I raised my hand into a fist to knock on the classroom door. But as if on cue Ezra opened the door before me. He looked down at me and I smiled. He has that effect on me. His facial expression was bland. Not sad but just...blah. I walked in the classroom as Ezra looked out the hallway both was as though he was crossing the street, and he closed the door. "So do I call you Mr. Fitz now or do I have permission to call you Ezra?" I said with a laugh. Ezra didn't seem to find it funny so I decided to lift his spirits. I laid my hand around the back of his neck and crashed my lips onto his. He kissed back with force. The more we kissed the more forceful the kisses became. He wrapped his arms around my waist. This felt so wrong but so right being by Ezra at the same time. He lifted me on to his desk and kissed my neck. Lower and lower he went. I ripped off his navy blue tie and threw it as far as I could. Then all of a sudden...he stopped. He narrowed his eyes down looking guilty. I sat there questioned. "Listen Aria, we can't do this." He struggled to say. "Do what Ezra?" I asked. I knew what he was talking about; I just didn't want to believe it. "This Aria. THIS" he said as he gestured to me on his desk and his tie across the room. "What? Confronting our feelings for each other? Please don't tell me you don't feel same connection that I do when we touch, or whenever we see each other. I know the consequences, I do! But even though we just met Ezra" I reached for his hands and intertwined them with mine. "I feel like we are meant for each other." Ezra remained silent, his head staring at the floor. "Ezra please say something." I begged. "I'm so sorry Aria but we can't." He let go of my hand. "I can't risk my career for some student...my student. And yes it would be lying if I said I didn't feel a connection between us but this is inappropriate, wrong and illegal. And Noel seems like a really nice guy." I stopped him right there. "Noel? What does Noel have to do with this?" he stood there confused like myself "He's your boyfriend isn't he? Over at your house last night when you saw a ghost." Was Ezra jealous? "Umm he was at my house because he's my brother's best friend. And are you saying you're jealous of noel?" I questioned. "NO! I never said that! It's just Aria, I think we should stick with being student and teacher. Nothing more okay?" "NO! It's not okay." I practically yelled. "Aria I really am sorry..." "Save it Ezra. You don't like me that way and that's fine. It's all you had to say. I'm just some student". I headed for the door and Ezra tried to stop me. "Aria you know that's not what I meant!" I heard him call, but it was too late. I slammed the door with fiery. So Ezra thinks this relationship is "inappropriate"? Ill change his mind. But how? Oh! I know! He seemed pretty jealous about Noel. I think I'd like to see more of jealous Ezra. Wouldn't you?
