"Nikki was right," I interrupt their makeout sesh, causing them to look up at me, shocked. "You are a douche."

I turn around to walk away.

"Wait... Eva!" He yelled at me, standing there, with his arm wrapped around Megan. She whispered something into his ear causing him to giggle.

"Screw you Nathan." I stormed off, with tears trickling down my face.

I did not want to go back into the dance, so I just went to the parking lot and sat on the curb. All I needed right now was my bed and a Friends marathon.

"What's wrong? You shouldn't be out here alone." Mr.Grant's deep voice shouted behind me. His footsteps were getting closer until he stood behind me.

"Oh nothing, but I just saw my so-called boyfriend makeout with my enemy

"Oh nothing, but I just saw my so-called boyfriend makeout with my enemy. So you can say that tonight basically isn't the best." I wiped my face.

"Hey, don't cry." He sat on the curb, next to me.

"It's stupid. I know. I'm just waiting for the dance to be over so my friends can take me home."

"I'll take you home." He said, standing up and rattling his keys.

"No. Don't waste your time on a stupid, emotionally screwed up, teenage girl like me"

"I'm not wasting my time. And if I could choose to help out any stupid, emotionally screwed up, teenage girl, then it'd be you." He held out his hand.

I reached it and he pulled me up onto my feet. I gave him a smile and we walked over to his car.

Mr.Grant gave me great advice and cheered me up during the car ride to my house. He told me about his personal, not so good, experiences with girls.

Twenty minutes flew by until we pulled up to my brick house.

"Well, here's your stop." Mr.Grant said, stopping the car next to the curb.

"Thanks for everything. I don't ever know how I could repay you." I unfastened my seatbelt.

"Here's a way."

Suddenly, his hands cupped me face. He leaned in, crashing his lips onto mine, kissing me gently.

Chills ran through my body. It felt so right, but I knew it was so wrong.

I broke the kiss and shook my head.

"Um... Bye." I said, hurrying to get out the car and inside my home.

I opened my front door and entered, quickly shutting it behind me.

What the hell just happened? Mr.Scott did not just kiss me. Should I tell authorities? But that kiss felt amazing. He's amazing.

"You're home soon," My mom said, interrupting my thoughts, "how was it?"

"It was fine!" I said, practically running up the stairs and into my room.

To comfort me, I changed into my pajama shorts and tank top, turned on my Christmas lights, and lit my Bath and Body Works candle. I laid in bed and switched my MacBook to Netflix.

Hmmmmmm what should I watch?

Scandal- No

Orange is the New Black-  No

Gossip Girl- Hell no

Pretty Little Liars- Ding, Ding, Ding, We have a winner.

I clicked the on the show and decided to watch the first episode.

While the theme song played, I went and grabbed some Oreos and milk.

Beep beep

I glanced at my phone to see a message from Nikki.

Where did you go?!!

I decided to ignore her and continue to watch the show.

After watching the show, I realized that I am Aria.

Me and Scott and like Aria and Ezra.

Wait, what the hell am I thinking. I can't be with him! He's a teacher! But then again, Aria and Ezra kind of got away with it.

I knew I was overthinking this. It was just one kiss. That doesn't mean that he loves me or anything.

I decided to carry on with my life like nothing ever happened.

The weekend went by normally. I haven't told anyone about the kiss.

Monday morning rolled around and I dreaded the thought of going to school. After many failed attempts of excuses, I knew I had to go to school.

Since it was Monday, I didn't put any thought into my outfit at all. I threw my hair up into a bun and wore jeans and a simple blouse.

I took my time getting to school so I didn't have to get to Mr.Grant's class early. I stopped to get Starbucks when I noticed that school started 5 minutes ago.

I rushed to school be hurried to class. All the students and Me.Grant looked up at me when I entered the room.

I awkwardly smiled at took my seat, trying my hardest to avoid eye contact with Scott.

The class went on for what seemed to be like an eternity. Today was the only day that I wasn't focused. English is my favorite subject, and I just couldn't stay focused.

Suddenly the bell rang, saving me from my misery.

"Don't forget to do your outline for your essay. Oh and Eva can you stay after class, I need to speak to you." Scott said, making me stop in my tracks and turn around to walk to his desk.
