11:00ish am – Aria

Aria and Noel

Aria was talking to Hanna when she seen Jason DiLAurentis walk into school. And as if by instinct his eyes zoned right in on hers and gave her a small smile and wave and she smiled back at him. Hanna turn to see who Aria was looking at, "Ugh, just what we need another creep."

"He's not a creep Hanna, Alison and Jenna lied to him about Spencer and us. He never actually knew any of us so what was he supposed to think." Aria defended.

"Geez Ar don't bite my head off, besides it was kind of creepy how he always stayed in his bedroom listening to that depressing music and got high all the time."

"I happened to have liked some of that music." Aria mumbled and Hanna immediately felt guilty having forgotten that Aria had been goth when they first met and there was still traces of it in her style and the music she listened to.

"I'm sorry Aria I never thought of you as creepy."

"Yeah you did. In the fifth grade before we met, we had the same lunch period you were wearing a necklace that I thought looked cool, I tapped your shoulder, you seen me and ran off.," Aria laughed.

Hanna's cheeks flamed remembering the incident and when they worked that charity rummage sell she had to work with Aria only to find out she wasn't creepy she was just eclectic.

Aria once again looked toward Jason catching his eye and smiled shyly. She really wanted to be alone with him for a minute. She told Hanna she would talk to her later and the blonde nodded absently her attention once again on her boyfriend and something he was saying to Noel.

She hoped Jason got the hint and followed her as she made her way toward the music room as inconspicuous as she could. A couple minutes later she heard the door open and close quietly and thinking it was Jason she turned around only to see Noel Kahn standing there. The smile gracing her face a little less bright than it had been. Noel looked around the music room and spotted a guitar and went over picked it up and sat down and started strumming it lightly,

"I didn't know you played." Aria told him.

"There's a lot you don't know about me." He grinned.

"Yeah I guess so." Aria agreed as he began strumming the tune of a song she recognized, it was one her parents used to listen to, " Hey I know that."

He grinned and she sings the lyrics to Who Knows Where the Time Goes by Sandy Denny(the song Aria sings and Noel plays in the episode)

After he played the last chords Noel leaned in to kiss her, but Aria stopped him. She didn't know what if anything she was to Jason, but she couldn't lead Noel on. She had grown to like him since they had been hanging out with Hanna and Sean. Aria knew Hanna was hoping more would come of it and maybe if she hadn't run into Jason that first day back it would have, but she had and every feeling she had for Alison's brother had been reawakened. After last night even if she was just a one-time thing for him she wasn't ready to move on to the next guy.

"Noel I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong idea, but I am in love with someone."

"You have a boyfriend?" he asked feeling confused and used.

"No!" Aria owed Noel an explanation so she told him as much as she could without revealing too much.

"Thanks for telling me before I became too involved Aria." he said getting up and carefully putting the guitar away, he walked to the door holding it open, "We better get back before we are missed." he told her and she nodded, "Montgomery?"

"Yeah?"

"If you change your mind and I'm single look me up." He said the old flirtatious Noel back in place,

Aria grinned "I'll keep that in mind," Noel slung his arm across her shoulders as he leads her back to the main hall and she caught Jason's eyes who was standing outside the music room and hers locked with his momentarily before looking away.

Aria and Ezra

Noel seen Ezra Fitz at the other end watching them intently. Noel already suspected that Fitz had a thing for Aria. He had noticed the teacher watching her on more than one occasion as he was now. Aria said the guy was older and people might not approve. Noel already suspicious jumped to the wrong to the wrong conclusion about Ezra Fitz and Aria Montgomery. He pulled Aria a little closer as they got closer to Ezra smirking at the teacher, "Hey Mr. Fitz."

"Hello Mr. Fitz" Aria greeted, Mr. Fitz was her favorite teacher and if it weren't for Jason she could see herself having a schoolgirl crush on him, a lot of girls did. She smiled thinking of last Saturday, she and the girls seen him riding around town on his bike wearing a pair of shorts. Even Emily who had recently come out had checked out their teacher. "Now there is one teacher I don't mind seeing in shorts." Spencer commented, they had been shocked when Spencer of all people cat called "Looking good Mr. Fitz." Causing him to almost wreck when he turned to see who had called out to him.

"Spencer!" Aria said laughing, "He's our teacher."

"He's still hot." she said with a shrug and Hanna agreed.

He nodded, "Noel, Aria, you should be on the main hall,

"I forgot my homework in the music room Friday, Noel walked back with me to make sure I wasn't alone since so many people are here." Aria said,

"Yeah, who knows if there is some sicko her that gets off on stalking teenage girls," Noel said

Well that was weird and random, had Noel noticed Wilden harassing them today?

Ezra nodded and told them they should be getting back as they started to walk off Ezra stopped them. "Aria could I talk to you for a minute,"

Noel looked at her questioningly and Aria nodded that she was okay and to go on. With a slight huff, he walked off.

"We missed you in class ." Aria told him sincerely, he'd been gone the last three days and the substitute had them read the book they were working on so she could concentrate on the pile of bridal magazines in front of her.

"Thank you, Aria. I wanted to talk to you about the short story you turned in last week. Aria suddenly felt uncomfortable, maybe it was too personal? He probably hates it! Would he let her redo it? "...competition," wait what did he say, Ezra noticed her blank, stunned look. "I want to enter B29 into the writing competition, the winners will be featured in a literary magazine. Nothing big time you understand, but you will be able to say you're a published author,"

Aria didn't know what to say, it was flattering, but B29 was extremely personal, it was about Alison and Jason and about falling in love with her best friend's brother and that day. She didn't know if she wanted to share it with anyone that chose to pick up that magazine. "Can I think about it before I give you and answer?"

Ezra nodded, "Of course. Oh, and Aria can I ask you about something else?" Aria nodded, "This is extremely inappropriate," Aria began to feel little uncomfortable, "but, I don't want to do anything to make your mother uncomfortable," what is he thinking of doing that will make her mother uncomfortable? "but is she seeing anyone?" Aria was floored, Mr. Fitz her twenty something teacher was asking about her newly separated mom! "I'm sorry Aria, just forget..."

"No." She interrupted him and placing her hand on his arm to stop his quick retreat, "it's fine, I was just a little surprised is all." She thought for a minute, was it too soon she wondered, her mom's confidence had taken a beating when she found out about her dad cheating on her with the younger woman, why shouldn't her mom know a younger, really hot guy is interested? "No Mr. Fitz, she's not seeing anyone,"

"Do you think she'd be interested...in going out...with me I mean?"

Aria smiled at his nervousness, "I don't know, and neither will you unless you ask."

Ezra smiled at Aria feeling like he had just receive her approval and with a nod he told her to get back with the others.

Aria and Jason

Noel and Jason both watched the couple talking and for Noel it confirmed his suspicions especially when she had put her hand on their teachers arm to stop him from walking away.

Aria had caught Jason's eye meaningfully before she left the main hall and he followed her, Noel followed as well. Jason stealthily followed Noel and Aria thinking maybe the teen just wanted to use the restroom, but he followed Aria into the music room, Jason had heard everything so the interaction between the teacher and Aria didn't make Jason jealous, just curious as to what the teacher wanted with his girlfri...he stopped that thought before it could finish forming. Aria wasn't his girlfriend and right now with being away at college and everything going on in both their lives he had no right to even ask her that. He didn't even know if her parents would allow him to date her. Jason pushed away from the wall he had been leaning against headed back.

Aria was talking to a girl from fourth period about the assignment due Monday when she felt someone walk up behind her, she didn't have to turn around to know it was Jason. "Do you mind if I borrow Aria a moment?" He smiled at the girl, she just stood there, mouth hanging open. Yeah, Aria thought sympathetically, sure that was how she looked first time she met him, and it was. Alison had invited them over for the first of many sleepovers the girls would have over the years. Aria's mom dropped her off, running late she was the last to arrive, Ali and the other girls had already gone to her room so Jason answered the door. Ali came running down to show Aria to her room. Ali hadn't noticed her reaction, but Jason had, he thought it was cute and maybe a little funny. He had never had an eleven-year-old girl look at him that way, he thought they still played with Barbie dolls. The chubby blonde had been carrying a large Barbie case bulging with dolls and clothes, but he had a feeling this one was not the type that played with Barbie's, at least in the traditional way. Alison still played with them, she didn't know it, but he caught her playing with them recently. It reminded him of a time before his little sister had become a manipulative, vindictive, bully that his parents didn't seem to realize she had become.

"Thanks", he said to the girls then pulled Aria to the quietest spot he could find. "Hi."

"Hi." She smiled back feeling suddenly shy. God, she wanted to kiss him. It wasn't until she seen his sudden smirk that she realized she had said that out loud. Her eyes went wide in embarrassment.

He started to touch her cheek, but thought better of it, "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing." He paused for a moment as if trying to figure out what to say next. Actually, he was trying to figure out a way to ask what he wanted as delicately as possible so he didn't embarrass her, "So, how are you today?" Jason had worried about it today, she was a virgin before he got a hold of her and he had been demanding even running out of condoms hadn't stopped him he just taught her other ways to pleasure each other, god even now he wanted her.

At first Aria, didn't understand what he meant, but then she caught "I'm great umm sore, but I feel fantastic." And she had even with Wilden watching their every move she still felt the same almost euphoric feeling she had woke up with.

Jason nodded toward the teacher and Noel, "So what was that all about back there?"

"I think I was kind of dating Noel, I guess," she shrugged, Jason nodded he wasn't thrilled about it, but after that day at Snooker's he went on a few dates trying to forget Aria. "the other guy is my teacher Mr. Fitz. He wants to submit a short story I wrote for a competition, the winners get their piece published in some literary magazine, the piece I wrote is personal so I told him I'd think about it. Oh, and he also wanted to know how I would feel about him asking my mom out."

Jason was going to ask about her story, but then he realized she said the teacher wanted to ask out Ella Montgomery, "Wait! What about your dad?" Aria told them that her parents had separated a couple weeks ago after her mom found out he had cheated on her. "Aria I'm sorry, I should have been here for you."

"It's okay Jason, Mike is more hurt about it than anybody I think."

Trying to lighten the mood he said, "Well tell me about the piece you wrote, why didn't you just say yes to the competition?"

Aria blushed a little, "It's called B29." she said catching his eyes. So, it was about them.

He thought about it for a minute, biting his lip. "Enter it."

"A..are you sure?" she said searching his eyes.

Smiling he nodded, "Yeah I'm sure, enter it, but you have to read it to me."

"I will." she said her eyes locking with his and he could see everything she wasn't saying in them.

"I want you." He told her in a low rough voice she blushed but in a low voice told him she wanted him too.

"Follow me in a few minutes" she told him and he watched her as she walked away, but his eyes weren't the only pair watching her the look in the other pair became calculating when a by pure coincidence Principle Taggart sent Ezra Fitz for something from his office and he followed Aria Montgomery out a couple minutes later and confirming Noel's suspicions.

Jason waited a few minutes and then walked in the direction he had seen Aria going. Aria was watching for him through the opening of the door, as soon as she seen him start to pass she opened the door enough to grab his arm pulling him through, Jason was surprised and impressed at the way tiny Aria had almost manhandled him.

He raised a brow and grinned at her. "The girls' bathroom huh?"

"Shut up." She said wrapping her arms around his neck pulling his mouth to hers as she began walking backward to the last stall.

"Yes ma'am." he said and then before he could add anything to that she had attached her mouth to his and he forgot anything he wanted to say anyway. He watched until they reached the stall and then reached his hand over her shoulder he opened it and they entered the stall, Aria pushed the lock closed.

Things were getting out of hand Jason had the top of her dress down sucking on her nipples through the bra when she told him she was going to have to get back soon, "Why?" he asked against a lace covered nipple now sopping wet from being in his mouth and then he sucked it back into his mouth continuing the sweet torture as her hands dug into his thick hair scratching his scalp in pleasure."

"Because WIlden has been watching every move we make' she said her eyes half closed, barely able to keep. She bit her lip trying to stifle the loud moan. "Mmm Jason I thought you wanted to..."

But, suddenly Jason was standing to his full height and lifting her chin to meet his eyes, "Why is Wilden watching you?" he said with an intense stare.

"You mean beside the fact that he thinks we killed Alison?" His brows raised at that one, but he nodded for her to continue. "He thinks that one or all of us had something to do with Alison's memorial being vandalized. He has been watching us all day."

"Alison's memorial was vandalized?"

"Yeah, he didn't tell you?"

Jason was pissed. "Aria get dressed and go back out to the main hall."

Was he mad at her, did he like Wilden think they had something to do with Alison's murder, the vandalism or both? "But I thought..."Jason seen the doubt in her eyes and he could not take his anger out at that prick of a detective on his giruh... on Aria, he thought.

Jason bent down to her level and said "Aria I can't make love to you now like I want to for four reasons; the first being I am still out of condoms," he kissed her quickly after he said this, "next you are still sore," she started to protest this, but he just cut her off with another quick kiss and then helped put her dress top back on, "third I have to go talk to someone" he was now reaching around to zip her dress back up, "and finally," this time he held her face in his hands and made sure she was looking him straight in his eyes, "there is a crowd of people not that far down the hall and this place echo's. If I fuck you I will make you scream, Aria buried her suddenly hot face against his chest, he had proven that many times last night, but when he heard her mumble "You weren't exactly a church mouse yourself." he laughed kissing the top of her head.

"No I wasn't"
