Hollow (a spezra story)

Chapter 7

A/N: hey! I know so far this isn't really a fanfiction, as it follows the pretty much same storyline as PLL. BUT I'm going to start going along a different path in the chapter after next. But anyway, enjoy this chapter. :)

"So... you think it's Jenna?" Emily said, feeling slightly confused.

"And Toby." Spencer added, while shoving things in her locker. "Guys, it makes sense! We...you know. And now they both have a valid reason to hurt us."

"I guess it makes sense, but how do they know... All of this about us?" Aria said in a lower voice.

Spencer thought for a moment. Jenna and Toby... They both no longer go to Rosewood High. So how would they have gotten the picture of her and Ezra? Plus, how did they know about Aria's dad and... whoever he cheated with.

"I don't know." She concluded, looking at her watch. "Guys where is Hanna?"

"Probably with Mona." Emily said while rolling her eyes. Aria laughed.

Spencer froze. As she looked up, she saw Ezra making his way to his English classroom. Her whole body felt like jelly and she felt an electric shock down her spine.

"Uh guys. You can go. I need to talk to Ez-Mr Fitz about something." Spencer said awkwardly. Aria and Emily gave her strange looks, but then moved along. She slowly walked up to him. A genuine smile came across his face when he saw her.

"Can I talk to you?" She said, picking up all of her courage.

"Yeah. Of course."

"I would like to transfer out of you class." She said suddenly, looking at her feet. She couldn't bear to look at him in the eyes. And when she finally did, she looked up to see his face drop. He was probably caught off-guard, she assured herself. But she knew she was lying.

He looked over his shoulder.

"Can you come inside? For a minute. Please." He said, taking a breath in.

She took in his features. His messy brown hair and dark blue eyes. His beautiful face-shape.

"Yeah." Spencer responded. She walked over to his classroom and opened the door. He closed the door behind them.

"I understand, where you're coming from." He began. "As it was my idea. But at the church, I was trying to tell you I was wrong."

Spencer widened her eyes.

"I just wish you could stay in the class."

"Ezra. It wasn't an easy choice! I was trying to convince myself out of it all morning. You were right the other day. I can't keep my feelings in check. I don't want to keep my feeling in check." Spencer said, while walking up to him. She held his hand while searching his eyes. "I don't want to sit in here, every day and have to call you Mr Fitz! I-I can't pretend that I don't know you."

She pulled out a sheet from her bag. God, how she wished she didn't have to do this.

"Sign it. Please." She said, while her voice cracked. He looked at it for a second and then looked at her. He searched deep into her eyes. Did she really want to do this? he thought.

"You sure?" he asked. This is your last chance to back out, she thought. But she liked Ezra too much to back out. She couldn't risk him getting hurt because of her.

"Yes." She whispered, handing him the sheet.

He stared at her for a long moment, then signed the sheet. He passed it back to her, not looking directly in her eyes.

"Thank you."

She looked at him, then hastily walked out of his classroom. Mona Vanderwaal and Hanna stood outside looking at her. She made a bee-line to the girls' restroom and locked herself in a cubicle. She switched on her phone and re-read the text sent to her, earlier that morning.
