Chapter six

"Hey girl!" the voice down the line said. It was Hanna.
"Hey Han'! What's up?"
"Fancy grabbing a coffee? I could do with a study buddy."
"Sure! Can I meet you in like, 10 minutes?" aria asked.
"Ok, Starbucks, right?" Hanna replied.
"Right. Are Em and Spence coming?" aria said. Hanging put with her old best friends had made Aria feel at home again. She had people around her that were going through exactly the same thing as her. It was nice to be able to discuss things with her friends that she couldn't with anyone else. Aria felt she could tell them anything, especially Hanna and Emily. Almost anything. She knew there was one thing that she couldn't tell anyone.

"I didn't think of that! That's such a good idea! I'll give them a call," Hanna replied, snapping Aria back into reality.
"Ok! So, I'll see you in a bit?"
"Sure, later babe."
Aria hung up, and slipped her phone into her pocket. She grabbed her hand bag and trekked down stairs.
"Mom, I'm going to grab a coffee, see you later." she called on her way out.
"Ok! See you in a bit."

"Hey!" Spencer called. She was walking to our table with her coffee in her hand, smiling.
"Hi," aria said with a smile as she sat down. All four of them were there now, sitting around a small table at the back of Starbucks. Aria had a skinny latte (decaf) in front of her, and she took large sips at regular intervals.
"So, how are you all?" she asked.
"Much better now I have a really hot English teacher..." Hanna replied with a wink.
Aria froze. Did Hanna know? No, it was impossible.
"Mr. Fitz? He. Is. Gorgeous." Spencer replied, smiling.
"I told you he was hot, didn't I!" Emily said, nudging Aria.
"Yeah." Aria said, mumbling.
"You don't think so?" Emily asked. Aria kept her head down and shrugged.
Hanna grinned, "Is he your uncle or something?"
"What," Aria said, "no way!"
"Then what is it between you two! He stares at you constantly. It's crazy!" Hanna replied.
Arias stomach flipped. "He does?"
"I thought that," Spencer piped in. And that first day, when he swore when he saw you, what was all that about?"
"He stubbed his toe," Aria muttered.
"What ever, I totally think he has a thing for you." Spencer said, smiling.
"I bet you could hook up with him..." Hanna whispered a mischievous look in her eyes. Aria felt her face go red.
"Hanna!" Emily shouted, "give it a rest..."
Aria shot Emily a thankful look.
"Ugh, whatever. I don't see what the fuss is about, if I could hook up with him, I would..." Hanna said smiling...
"He's 23!" Aria screamed, a little too loud. Only then did she realise she wasn't supposed to know that. "Ish..." she added.
"So... He's hot!" Hanna argued. "and his legs are just, so..." she let out a girly squeal.
"Hanna, can we remember that we're talking about our AP English teacher here." Spencer said sternly.
"Yeah," Emily agreed. "Give your little fantasies a rest for a bit..."
Hanna's face sunk. "But -" She was cut off by Aria's phone. 'Sorry' she mouthed, glancing at the caller ID. Her hand flew over her mouth. Ezra?
"Aria?" Emily asked, "Are you ok?"
"Yep!" Aria said, pulling herself together. "I'll be right back; I need to take this..."
Aria's breathing got faster. Of all the times to call...
"Hello?" aria cooed, trying to sound sexy and seductive.
"Aria!"
"Hey? Are you ok?"
There was a heavy sigh from his side of the line. "I can't stop thinking about you. Yesterday was so amazing... I..." he was silent.
"yeah." aria squeaked.
"I just, wanted a chat..." he continued.
"Yeah, you know now's not really the best time..." Aria started.
"Don't let us stop you, eh Aria." Hanna called with a wink.
"Is it a guy?" Spencer asked. Aria felt her cheeks blaze.
"Look at her blush!" Emily giggled. Ezra giggled too.
"Where are you?" he asked.
"I'm out with some friends... From school." She stressed the word 'school'.
"Oh!" Ezra said, getting it. "Call me when you're alone?"
"Um. Ok," Aria said quickly, cutting her phone off. She walked back to the table, embarrassed.
"So... Who was that?" Emily said with a smile.
"My, um, friend from Iceland." Aria lied.
"Friend... Or boyfriend?" Hanna asked.
"I, um. Have to go." aria said, blushing.
"Take that as a yes." Spencer said she went.

As soon as she was out the girl's earshot, she whipped out her phone and called Ezra.
"Hey!" she said brightly, "it's me,"
"hey. So..."
"Do you have plans this weekend?" Aria interrupted.
"I don't, but..."
"Right. Sure," aria replied glumly.
"Did you tell your friends?" Ezra asked.
"No! No way!"
"right, well, this weekend. It's Noel's party this weekend, right?" he said.
Ugh! She'd forgotten all about that. It was tradition that, every year when Noel Kahn's parent went out, he hosted a cavern party. A thought suddenly crossed Aria's mind.
"Hang on... How do you know about that?" she asked.
"I know all!" Ezra replied with a chuckle.
"Anyway, maybe we could meet up afterwards?"
"Err, yeah. I'll call you?"
"Ok. Bye!" Aria hung up, a smile on her face. Damn...
