Aria woke up to a text from Ezra, saying to have a good day since they wouldn't be able to text throughout the day due to him starting his new real job. Aria had not had time to ask what it was but she just messaged him 'Good Luck! x'
"Mom, hurry up, we are going to be late, i got Literature first, you know its my favourite lesson"
"I'm sorry, and you won't be, don't worry baby girl" Ella said while placing a kiss on top of Arias forehead before picking up her car keys.
"Bye mom, see you later, oh yeah, almost forgot, can you take me to pick up my car later please?"
"Yeah, sure, i'm leaving here at half 2, so i'll pick you up when you text me"
Aria immediately recognised the tall dark haired girl who was pacing towards her, "Aria, your back, last time i saw you, you had pink streaks in your hair" Emily said with a smile, happy to see Aria after so long apart.
"Yeah" she said with an awkward laugh, "i've outgrown them".
"What have you got first period?, i've got literature with F.E, i guess it must be a new teacher"
"Same, lets walk there together" Aria said.
Aria and Emily got to the class with 30 seconds to spare before the final bell went. Aria walked into the class and put her bag down on a random desk that was near to Emily. Another brunette and a blonde caught Aria's eye. Her two former friends, now only acquaintances. She couldn't talk to them now due to the class about to begin. Aria still hadn't noticed the new tall, handsome, dark haired English teacher standing at the front of the class staring at her,
"Oh shit" he mumbled under his breath, quiet enough so none of his pupils could hear him, otherwise he surely would be reprimanded by the harsh principal. Then again he thought what would a little slap on the wrist be by the head teacher of Rosewood high compared to what would happen if anyone ever found out what had happened in that restroom just under a week ago. Maybe it might not be her he thought. All hope was gone by time he called out the register.
"Aria Montgomery" he said with an authoritative tone.
Aria was speechless, she couldn't get her words out due to the shock of having slept with her teacher in a restroom. But he isn't my teacher, she told herself, he is much more than that. No! She told herself, No! Don't go there.
"Miss Montgomery?" He asked
"Sorry, present Mr Fitz"
SHIT, she thought, i screwed up, he hasn't introduced himself yet. 'I can always use my mom as an excuse' she told herself.
"Hanna Marin"
"Present"
Ezra finally got to the last person on the register, Mona Vanderwall. Hanna's new "BFF".
Ezra cleared his throat, "I'm Mr Fitz, and i'm your new Literature teacher". Aria felt like he has stressed the words "your" and "teacher" to get a point across, but she wasn't sure. All she knew was that she would have to talk to him at some point today. Maybe at lunch, all new teachers stay in their classes at lunch, its like being a freshman all over again Aria thought.
Ezra had the same thought as Aria, they needed to talk at some point. Aria pulled out her phone under the table and text Ezra, 'Stay in class at lunch? We need to talk about a certain subject Mr Fitz ;)'.
