Fear of Fate

Chapter 4

Aria's POV

I couldn't sleep at all, I was worried about English tomorrow and what it would be like, would it be awkward? Would it be obvious that something had happened? I dread to think if Ezra will say anything to me, after all I was in a pub, but he did walk into the girl's bathroom and kiss me. That kiss. I finally managed to drift off to sleep while thinking about him…

'Aria you look terrible!' Spencer shouted as she was walking towards me.
'Thanks Spence definitely what I wanted to hear, I got no sleep last night' I replied anxious that I knew I had to tell them what happened.
'Aria what's wrong you look really nervous? You're starting to worry me.' The tone in Spencer's voice really did sound like she was worried, as the other girls joined our group I hurried them into the bathroom to gather up the courage to tell them what have happened.

'I was at snookers last night because Jason was stuck in Philadelphia and he couldn't make our date.' They all gave me a blank look.
'I saw Mr Fitz at snookers' I looked warily up at them.
'He kissed me, like majorly for like 5 minutes.' This then got there attention and there jaws dropped in astonishment.

'Told you he liked you! I knew it!' Hanna shouted until I reminded her that we where in school where people could hear us.

Suddenly the bell went and I looked at the girls with a worried expression on my face, we had English class and I had no idea what was going to happen.

Ezra's POV

I couldn't wait until I got to teach my AP English class, that was the class Aria was in. I know that it's most likely going to be awkward and she has probably told her friends, but even though I have only known her for less than twenty four hours I trust her. As I entered my classroom where all the students where sat in their seats talking all three of Aria's friends stared at me with smiles on their faces. They definitely knew.

'Students please take your seats' I shouted across my classroom so that I could be heard. Aria didn't look up once from her 'To Kill a Mockingbird' book, you could tell she was nervous and I feel for her I really do, it's my fault she feels like this but I just couldn't help myself. I set them a writing task so I wouldn't have to talk too much throughout and I could occasionally look up from marking to stare at Aria, even though she never looked back apart from once, that's when those beautiful hazel eyes locked onto mine as she smiled.

Finally the bell rang for the end of the lesson, the classroom started to clear 'Ms Montgomery, would you mind staying behind for a minute?' I asked afraid of what she would say.

'Yeah sure.' Her reply was short but it was the answer I was hoping for.

I waited for the classroom to clear completely; I then shut the door and motioned for her to sit at a desk near the front so I could speak to her quietly. She looked at me with those big hazel eyes and I couldn't help but stare into them.

'I'm so sorry about what happened last night; I don't know what I was thinking I'm…' I was cut off mid sentence as Aria had locked her lips onto mine but was very cautious about the glass door. Our lips finally parted.

'Don't be sorry, it was amazing and it's all I've thought of all night.'
'Look im teaching now but how about you come to my apartment after school?' I hoped that she would say yes as I wanted to see her outside of school so we could really talk.
'Sure, I'll give you my number and you can text me your address?'
'Sounds good.' I replied as I accepted her neatly written mobile number and then watched her as she walked out the door.
