It's always been you

Spencer's Surprise

Aria's POV:

I look at Ezra, teaching our class with comfort. It doesn't even seem scary to him, it all flows with ease and he's won over every single student in the class, everyone respects him. I can't help but smile when I see him smiling to himself, everyone else thinks it's because he's just enjoying his job, but I know it's whenever we make eye contact. I doodle random things on the paper in front of me, I;m lucky because I understand English, I can day dream all I want to and still understand anything that's given to me, mostly because I've always been good English but I must admit having my teacher as my boyfriend helps a lot too. 

The end of the lesson comes and I look up at Ezra, dismissing the class and making up some stupid excuse to keep me behind again. I stand at his desk and smile, I know this happens every lesson, but no one has noticed yet, so I don't mind. We talk for a little bit but I catch Spencer standing at the door waiting for me which she never usually does. I quickly kiss Ezra goodbye and go see what she's doing. As I walk out of the door she jumps and tells me she has a surprise. We walk over to my locker and she hands me an envelope. As I open it she stops me. 

"Basically, I remember you saying you wish you could have a proper date with Mr. Fitz-"

"Ezra." I correct her.

"Anyway, I thought you could have one outside of Rosewood."

I opened the envelope and saw two tickets for Basia. My heart stops, this is perfect. We can have a perfect date in Philadelphia. I hug Spencer so tight I can feel her ribs. I already know how I'm going to tell Ezra. Timing could be more perfect as I actually have a tie in my locker that I bought for Ezra as a sorry and thank you gift. This will all come together so well. 

Lunch passes really quick, we spent most of it listening to Hanna complain because her and Mona have had an argument, I'm not entirely sure what happened but Emily seemed to be literally listening to that was good, me and Spencer would just agree with whatever Emily said as advice. I could see Mona sitting on the table behind trying to listen to our conversation but I was so caught up in my own thoughts about Ezra to really pay any attention to anything else anyone was saying. Everything I'm about to do has to be good, I need him to say yes and want to come with me. 

Ezra's POV:

I'm sitting in my last lesson which is just a make up test. I never feel good this period on a Friday because I know it's Aria's free period and I'm not going to see her until the next day at my apartment. The class sit down and I briefly explain the rules and allow them to begin, the quicker we start, the quicker we finish. I look down at my desk marking some of the work I have, until I hear my door open. I see Aria discreetly strut in, but not see the class behind her. 

"Miss Montgomery, what can I do for you?" I say staring directly at the students. She looks behind her and stands right in front of me with her back to the class. 

"Um, I was wondering if you could look over my reading assignment." I realise she has a book in her arms, and I don't see why this has to be done now. There's still an hour until the end of the day. 

"Perhaps this could wait until after the makeup test has been administered."

"Actually It would be great if you could just review it now. So I know I'm on the right track?" Why does she want this done so desperately?

"Okay." 

She opens the book and I see no assignment, just a ticket to an art exhibition in Phili. I feel the butterflies in my stomach and look up to her smiling. She slowly pulls down the zip on her jacket revealing a tie saying 'wear me.' This girl is the most amazing thing that's ever happened to me. I seriously can't believe my luck. 

"What do you think of my work so far?"

"Looks outstanding."

"Great, then I'll turn it in at the end of the day." She says winking at me. 

"Great." I say looking at the tie, she slowly lifts the book up covering the tie, painfully slowly. I can't help smiling stupidly as she walks out, I don't even care who sees. I hope she can come to mine later, it killed me not being able to kiss her then. I already miss her. I know tomorrow will be perfect. Our first date.
