I don't think so.
Aristotle remained a student until after Plato's death.
So its unlikely.
 
Here is a link to works of Plato, you will not find any mention of Aristotle:

In his work Parmenides a man named Aristoteles is there, but if I remember correctly one doesn't know if this is meant to be the real one. Cause Socrates is here also very young.
