Am I Obsessed With You?
Author's POV:
Ezra frowned and sighed. As he turned to shut his locker, Jackie tapped him on the shoulder. Ezra turned around and slightly smiled. "Happy Valentine's Day!" Jackie shrieked. She held up a small teddy bear. Ezra sighed once more. "Valentine's Day is tomorrow." He told her. "That's why you're taking me to the Valentine's dance tomorrow." Ezra raised an eyebrow at Jackie. "What if I don't want to?" "You really don't have a choice." Jackie said, getting a little angry. "Well what if I don't want to go with you to the dance?" Jackie gasped in shock. "Are you breaking me up Valentine's Day!" She said, making her voice a little higher. "Actually, I'm breaking up with you on Friday the 13th." Ezra turned on his heel and walked away to his first period class, leaving Jackie alone, shocked and confused.
During first period, Ezra walked over to his seat and leaned forward to talk to Aria. "Hey, are you going to the dance tomorrow?" Aria turned her head to look at Ezra. "There's a dance tomorrow?" Ezra nodded. "Yeah. Are you going?" "Uhm, well I just got back from Iceland two days ago." Ezra smiled slightly. "Is that a yes?" "That's a no." Aria turned around to face the front of the room. "Well, what if you had someone to take you?" "Like who?" Ezra smile got a little bigger. "Like me." Aria glared at him in disgust. "Then that's a hell no." He looked down at his lap and frowned. "Am I really that bad?" Aria sighed and twisted in her seat. "No. I'm just not a dance kind of person." "Okay, how about if we go out to dinner instead?" "You're not giving up on this are you?" Ezra flashed his boyish smile at her. "Nope." Aria blushed. "Wouldn't your girlfriend mind?" "Nope, cause I broke up with her." Aria glared at him, getting angry. "Oh, so I'm the rebound?" Ezra shook his head. "No, no, no. I know how this may look, but I promise you, you're not a rebound." Aria sighed and shook her head slowly. "I don't know." Ezra gave her the puppy dog look. "Please. Give me one chance." Aria shook her head once more, but she couldn't help but smile. "Okay, fine. But we're going to the dance. I think it'd be better to be in public than just you and me." Ezra's eyes grew big and he smiled. He sat back in his seat. "Deal."
Aria scanned throughout the lunch room, looking for Spencer and Emily. "So, Em. Who are you going to the dance with?" Emily looked down at her tray and sighed softly. "No one." "What? Why not?" "Because no one asked me." Spencer sighed and got up from her seat. Emily grabbed Spencer's head, worried that she might do something to embarrass her. "Spence, where are you going?" Spencer walked over to Simone's table. "Hey, Simone." Simone looked away from her friends and stared up at Spencer. "Uhm, yeah?" "Would you like to go to the dance with Emily?" Simone smiled and bit her lip. "Yeah, that sounds like fun." Spencer smiled back. "Awesome! Emily and I are going to get ready at her house, so come over around 7 PM tomorrow." Simone nodded in agreement and started to talk to her friends once again. Spencer strode back to the table, looking accomplished. "There. Now you have a date." Emily's eyes grew large. "What? Who!" "Simone." Emily sank in her seat, feeling embarrassed, but secretly happy at the same time. Spencer smiled slightly and put her hand on Emily's shoulder. Emily looked at Spencer and smiled. "I'm kind of excited." They both chuckled. "Oh crap! Aria doesn't have a date, though." Aria sat down next to Emily. She bit her lip softly. "Actually, I do. Well technically it's not a date, I just said yes for him to stop bugging me." Spencer and Emily both smiled at Aria. "Who are you bringing?" Jackie walked past their table, but stopped to listen to their conversation. "Ezra Fitz." Jackie's mouth dropped and she stomped over to where Ezra was sitting. Emily spit out her water and Spencer's mouth dropped open in shock. "WHAT!" They both shouted. Aria looked down. "He asked me and wouldn't stop until I said yes to him. I'll be fine. It's just one dance." Spencer shrugged. "It's your funeral."
-Meanwhile with Jackie and Ezra-
"You're going to the dance with that bitch?" Jackie said, a little too loudly. Ezra turned to face Jackie. "She's not the bitch. You are." Jackie's mouth dropped open once more. "You dumped her for me?" She shrieked. "I didn't dump you for her." Jackie cocked her head and raised her eyebrow. "Then why did you break up with me?" Ezra smiled. "Because you're the bitch, Jackie. Not her." Jackie glared at him and snarled at him softly. "Oh, and also. I know you cheated on me while I was in jail." "Alright. If you think I'm a bitch, I'll show you a bitch." Jackie stomped away and slammed through the cafeteria doors. Ezra shook his head and turned back to his friends. "Dude, did you really dump Jackie for that other chick?" Hardy asked. Ezra glared at him.
-The night before the dance –
Aria shuffled through Spencer's closet. "I don't know what to wear, or how to do my makeup. I haven't been to a dance in forever." Aria exclaimed. Emily smirked at Aria, pushing her down onto Spencer's computer chair. "I'll do your makeup." Spencer put her hand on Aria's shoulder. "And I'll find out something to wear." Emily took off Aria's sunglasses. "Oh my god! What happened to your eye?" Aria shrugged. "Oh, I tripped over some boxes and hit my face on my floor. Do you think you can cover it up?" By now, she was use to making up stories to cover up her Dad's dirty work. Emily nodded, not believing her completely. Emily began to do her makeup while Spencer laid out a short black dress with lace that scoops down to show off some cleavage.
After a half hour, Ezra knocked on the Hasting's front door. The girls ran down the stairs to open the door. As Aria opened the door, she relieved her freshly curled hair and her smokey makeup. Aria put her hands on her hips and turned a little, showing off her ass and pale legs. "Wow. You look..amazing." Ezra said, slightly checking her out. Aria smiled and blushed. "Thanks." Ezra held out his hand. "Ready to go?"
