Love Eternal (Ezria)

Chapter 2:

Aria's Point of View

cough, cough, "Whore!" someone taunts as i pass by them on the way to first period.

a few others just laugh at me, and everyone seems to at least look at me weird before leaning in and whsipering to the people around them.

What the hell is with people today?

i hear a bunch of phones go off and everyone simultaneously looks down and then straight at me.

my heart starts beating faster and faster by the second.

why is everybody looking at me?

"Aria." Hanna whispers from behind me.

"what?" i ask cautiously.

"check your phone."

There's a fungus among us. someone's been sneaking around. wait nine months. watch your back. -A

what? i click on the attachment and see a picture of me kissing some guy.

it must be Ezra. you can't see who it is, but you can just tell by looking at it that theres something scandalous going on there.

maybe becuase there is...

resisting the urge to run away like a child, i turn on my feet and walk casually and slowly in the other direction.

but all eyes stay glued to me.

"Aria? are you paying attention to the lesson?" Ezra asks in the middle of the discussion on The Great Gatsby.

"uh...yeah...sorry..." i mutter.

"yeah sorry she got knocked up." Nole Kahn whispers to the kid sitting behind him.

Nole knows about Ezra and I. hes the one who wrote I See You in the condensation of Ezra's car window that night in the woods.

i slouch down in my seat wishing i could just disolve into the chair and go away.

"Nole, do you have something to say?" Ezra asks him.

"not at all Mr. Fitz." Nole says grinning menacingly.

"alright. well maybe you'd like to add your imput as to the chapter im sure you read last night." Ezra says cunningly.

"i think it was dumb." he says leaning on his desk like hes done with listenening to Ezra.
