Chapter 1
When Hanna Marin opened her locker she saw something that never failed to warm her heart.
It was a picture of her and her best friend since the age of three, Caleb Rivers, all muddy and dirty, hugging and flashing huge smiles. She would never forget that day.
It was five in the afternoon when Ashley and Claudia took their kids, Hanna and Caleb, to the playground. Hanna and Caleb sprinted to the sandbox with a bottle of water. A kid in their kindergarten told them he made mud balls, which are like snow balls, only made out of mud. They also wanted to try. They spilled the water in the sandbox and made mud balls. They started to throw them at each other. Ashley and Claudia saw the scene very amusing and took pictures of them. Then Hanna's father, Tom, came. He was furious that his daughter was getting dirty like that in a public place, where everyone could see and judge. Tom never liked either Caleb or Claudia and he wasn't hiding it.
"Why the hell is she playing in the mud like that?" he asked Ashley.
"Cameron, from their kindergarten, did it with his brother and they also wanted." Claudia answered.
"I didn't ask you." He said in a cold tone."Why are they doing it in the park? Do you want people to say stuff about us?"
"What will they say? That our daughter can enjoy herself?" Ashley answered in a raised voice.
"You will not shout at me!" he screamed.
Hanna turned around to the sound of shouting and saw her parents fighting. Tears were welling in her eyes and her lip started to quiver. Caleb quickly noticed and hugged her for the second time this day. For completely different reasons.
"It was a good day" said a voice behind her.
She turned around to see Caleb, standing behind her, with a huge smile on his face.
"Yeah, until my dad ruined it like he ruins everything."
"Don't be so hard on him." he said. He always felt bad when Hanna was talking about her dad like that. He didn't know if it was because he wanted her father to finally like him, or because he didn't have a father of his own. "Are we still on for math lessons this afternoon?" he asked, trying to change the subject.
"Yeah, I really need it. I can't understand a single thing my math teacher is saying, and when I say I don't understand, he says that it's my problem. Ugh. I hate him so much."
"Is he even allowed to say that?"
"Apparently, seriously he only does that to me. Am I really this annoying?"
"You're not annoying at all", he said before he kissed her cheek. He always knew how to
make all her insecurities go away, and make her feel great about herself.
"Aww, you're sweet", she hugged him. He rolled his eyes but hugged her back.
"Shall we go?"
"We shall"
They arrived at Hanna's house, ate lunch, and started learning math.
"Ugh, this is impossible! I literally can't understand a single thing!"
"What's the problem?" Caleb asked.
"I can't understand it! There's too many numbers!"
He chuckled, "Han it's pretty easy, all you need to do is to…"
He explained, but she couldn't concentrate in what he was saying. She was too busy looking at his eyes that moved across the page, as he read the math problem, at the way his hand moved, the way his hair fell perfectly and moved in time with his head. She was in love with him. That is why she sucked at math, he was helping her over a year but she never paid attention to what he was saying. That is why she had so many pictures with him hung in her room, all over her walls. That is why whenever he hugged her or kissed her cheek the butterflies in her stomach almost flew out. But he couldn't know, because it would ruin everything between them. Although whenever some girl would come up to him and flirt with him, she wanted to just kiss him so everyone will know he was hers.
But what if he wasn't?
"Han are you listening?" he said snapping her out of her thoughts.
"Huh?"
"I asked, were you listening."
"Not really, can you explain again?"
As he explained there was only one thing on Hanna's mind: will Caleb ever be hers?
