I felt an uncomfortable tension come over me as soon as I entered my house.
"Aria where were you? I need to talk to you."
"I was at Spencers, what about?" I say and follow her into the living room where I see Mike, my dad and now me and my mom. My mom gives me her phone and I read the text that was meant for Ezra.
Mike's pissed, we can only pray he doesn't tell our parents.
"I didn't tell them." Mike says and I let out a sigh of relief at his words. I felt confused, why would he not tell them? I mean, I'm thankful that he didn't, but there was no reason for him to lie for me.
"Thank you." I say, sitting down on the second sofa in the room.
"Aria, are you gonna tell us what is this?" My dad asks, his brows furrowed in a curious manner.
"Not yet." I state, hiding my face in my palms.
"What is it? What did Mike see that you don't want us to know?" Ella says.
"It's nothing, I'll tell you soon, just- not yet." I say as I take my bag and head upstairs. After doing my homework, I notice it's already half past six and I should be leaving for Ezra's.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"I missed you." Ezra says as I enter his apartment.
"We literally saw each other a few hours ago." I say as we sit down and start to watch movies.
"I know, that doesn't mean I don't miss you." He stated, kissing my forehead and snaking his arms around my waist.
"I actually wanted to tell you something." He says after a few minutes.
"Yes?"
"I got a job at Hollis." He states. I jump away from his grasp to look at him.
"Really?" I asked, he nodded in reply. I kissed him so passionately that you would have thought we were getting married. Ugh, I wish.
"I have something to confess." I stated.
"Yeah?"
"Today I wanted to send you a text, but I accidentally sent it to my mom. The text didn't give anything important away it just said that Mike was pissed and we had to pray for him to not tell my parents." I rambled, covering my face with my palms.
"Aria, how many people know already?" He asked smiling.
"Me, you, Mike, Emily, Hanna, Spencer, Noel. I think that's it. Why?" I asked confused.
"This is getting really close to the worst kept secret of all time." he said laughing and I laughed too.
"I promised my mom I would tell her as soon as I can." I say after we finish the movie.
"Aria, your eighteenth birthday is in two weeks time, I am out of your high school in a week and you are graduating in 2 months. I think we'll tell them soon enough." he says and smiles. I just kiss him and fall asleep on his couch.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next morning I woke up to my phone ringing and I answered it quickly for it to not interrupt Ezra sleeping.
"Yeah?" I say.
"Hey Aria. Where are you? Your mom called and I said that you were staying here." Hanna says.
"Thanks for covering for me Han, I'm at Ezra's." right then I feel two hands wrap around my waist and I let out a chuckle.
"Did you do it?" She asks and giggles.
"No we didn't and it is none of your business either." I say.
"Oh c'mon Aria!" she says.
"How old are you? You sound 7 instead of seventeen." I stated, making her laugh.
"Ugh, whatever. Byee!"
"Goodbye!" I say and turn around to face Ezra. I kiss him and stand up to go and make breakfast when I hear Ezra begging me to come back.
"Come back!!" He says holding his arms open for me to go and cuddle with him.
"I'm making breakfast Ezra." i say giggling.
"That can wait! Come here!" He says and pulls me back to bed.
"Five minutes." I say and cuddle next to him.
After about two more hours, I have to get going back, even though it's a Saturday.
"I love you." he says as he kisses me goodbye.
"I love you too." I say, before kissing him again and leaving.
"Mom! I'm home!" I shout as I enter my home.
"Good! We'll start with dinner. we're making salmon pasta." she says as she walks in the kitchen.
"Penne or spiral macaroni?" I ask.
"Penne." My mom replies.
"I'll go wash my hands." I say as I hear my phone beep. It was a text from Ezra.
Hey, I just got an invite to your house tonight. Some kind of dinner? Do you want me to come?
-Ezra
I replied immediately.
You should come. se ya then. Love you!
-Aria
Love you too!
-Ezra
"So who's coming today?" I ask my mom, trying to make conversation and not sound suspicious.
"Some of your fathers coworkers, a few of mine, and your favorite teacher is coming also." She states,
"Mr. Fitz?" I ask.
"Yes." she says and smiles at me. "I invited him because this would be the last time you would see him in a while. And you might as well call him Ezra now."
"Why's that?" I ask trying not to give anything up.
"He's leaving your high school." she says and i just stand there smiling like an idiot. I must've done it for a long time because my mother was snapping her fingers in front of my face.
"What happened to you? You just zoned out." she asks.
"Nothing." I lied. I was so happy. Ezra was leaving my high school so we could finally be a couple. i just wanted to scream that to the whole world. I love him so much.
