I've been on a writing streak and so far it's turned out good. As usual, I don't own anything.

The rest of the day went as normal as it could for Aria. She got many compliments on her new necklace and was glowing from the attention. At least the others haven't noticed it yet. But I know that as soon as they do, they'll start asking questions. she thought. Hanna, Emily, Spencer and herself were heading out to The Grill to get something to eat for dinner and to discuss the mirror and message that A sent. "So, what was the text message about?" Aria asked.

"You didn't see what it was?" Hanna asked.

"Not really. I was kinda distracted. So what was it about?" Aria asked.

"It was a video of the four of us looking at my mirror. I have no idea how A got it though." Spencer said. None of them had an idea how A managed to get into Spencer's house without her knowing. "All I know is that the message and the video was creepy. I never thought that someone could get like that." Emily said.

"Remember Emily, this is A we're talking about. She somehow manages to do the creepy and stalker. But she had to be close by to get the video though. It couldn't be outside because your bedroom isn't near any trees right?" Hanna asked.

"Yeah, so how was it that she was able to get that video?" Spencer asked.

"Can I see the video Hanna?" asked Aria. Hanna showed her the video and the others looked at her while she was watching the video. When she was done, she asked "Isn't that coming from your closest Spencer?"

"Oh my God, I didn't realize that the ruffles were the curtains. She was in there with us while we were looking at the mirror." Spencer said in shock. By then, the waitress came to the girl's table and started taking their orders. While this was happening, Aria was looking out the window lost in thought. I can't believe that he gave me the locket. I really wasn't expecting it. Now it's going to be even harder for me to tell him about the baby. I hope he doesn't get mad about it. Maybe he'll love the idea of having a baby. Aria thought. She could already see Ezra playing and reading stories to the baby. "Hey Aria, where did you get the necklace from?" Emily asked.

"Huh?"

"The necklace. I noticed that you were playing with it while you were looking out the window."

"Yeah," Spencer added, "You didn't have it this morning when we got ready. Where did it come from?"

"I bet that it's a gift from a secret admirer." Hanna said. "Well," Aria started. Crap, why did Emily have to bring it up? "Hanna's kinda right. It is a gift, but not from a secret admirer. It was from a close friend of mine."

"Really? Who is it?" Spencer asked.

"You wouldn't know him. I didn't even recognized him at first until I bumped into him at biology. It was suppose to be a going away gift, but it's kinda late." Aria said. I hope that's good enough for them. They would really freak out if I told them who it really was from. They're not ready to know yet.Aria thought. They seemed to buy it and went back to meaningless conversations about the newest fashion and about A. Aria didn't really participate in any of them because she was thinking about the whole mess that she managed to get herself into.

"Aria, isn't that your English teacher?" Hanna asked. She looked up and sure enough, there was Ezra Fitz in a pair of old blue jeans and a faded out tee-shirt and flip-flops.

"Yeah, why?" Aria asked.

"I don't know. He's actually kinda cute if you ask me. You're lucky you have him for English Aria." Hanna said. Aria felt a twinge of jealously and anger towards Hanna's comment about him.

"Oh look, he's coming in. Maybe he's hungry and wanted to get a bite to eat before going home to grading papers and such." Spencer said, "You should go say hi at least Aria." Spencer had picked up the way that Aria was watching Mr. Fitz, "I mean, he is your English teacher."

"Yeah, sure, I'll be right back guys." Aria said. She got up and started walking to where he was seated. "Hi Mr. Fitz, how are you doing?" Aria asked.

"Good, why?" he asked. He looked around her and saw that her friends were talking, trying not to watch the two of them, but it was obviously failing. "I think you're friends are watching you." Ezra said with a slight smile.

"I know. Spencer put me up to it. But I was wondering if you were doing anything this weekend." Aria said. She was planning on cooking for him and hopefully tell him what was happening to her.

"I'm not doing anything. I was actually thinking about asking you if you wanted to come hang out this weekend and maybe stay the night." he told her. Thank God that he was thinking about wanting to spend the weekend with me. It'll be easier this way I hope. She thought.

"Ok. I'll tell my mom that i'm going to spend the night with Spencer again. Her parents are too busy to care if she has friends over." She said.

"Ok. I just I'll see you this weekend."

"Yeah. I'll see you later." Aria turned around and went back to her table as the others quickly looked away. Before any of them could ask what was going on, their orders came out. "Okay, here's one spring salad with grilled chicken, one hamburger no pickles, one salad with iceburg lettuce and one turkey burger, no tomato." Their waitress said, "Enjoy and let me know if I can get you anything else." As soon as she walked away, six pairs of eyes turned to Aria as she looked down at her food. "So?" Hanna started, "What did he have to say?"

"Yeah, you were over there quite awhile. We were worried that he was flirting with you or something." Emily said.

"We were just talking about today's assignment and how he thought that mine was really good." Aria told them. They bought it and turned back to their food and started eating. The rest of dinner went by good and then they all went their separate homes. When Aria got home, she noticed that her dad's car was gone. "Hey mom? Where did dad go?" She asked when she got in.

"I told him to leave. I need time to think about what might happen." her mom answered her. Aria was very surprised that her mom had actually told her dad to leave. She also felt very bad about it because she knew that A was the one who started it all. "Listen to me sweetheart, I know that it might be weird for awhile in not seeing your dad around here, but hopefully he'll come to his senses and take up for his actions."

"I know mom. I'm sorry for not telling you. I thought that it would go away and that we could continue being happy." Aria said. Her mom noticed that she was starting to get upset and gave her daughter a hug.

"It'll just be for a little while ok? Now you go up to your room and get some rest ok?" her mom said.

"Ok mom. Goodnight." Aria went up to her room and threw herself onto her bed.'Stupid A. It's her fault that my life is falling apart like this. But as long as she doesn't tell the others until I'm ready to, then I'll be good.' she told herself. Aria got up and changed back into her pj's and went back to looking out her window into the starry night. Well, at least I can tell him now so that he isn't in the dark. And I'm also glad that the others bought my story about the necklace. Aria thought as she played with it absentmindedly. Aria walked back to her bed and was about to go to sleep when her phone vibrated with a new text message.

Did little Aria get a gift from her teacher? Here's a gift from me xoxo.

-A.
