It wasn't right. It wasn't. Caleb knew he was only hurting Hanna more by doing it, but he couldn't help himself. Mona was just so gorgeous that night. He couldn't help but kiss her. Mona was hurting her too. She hadn't stopped him or anything. Caleb thought Mona had hated him, but apparently that wasn't true. All he knew was that this had to be a secret. He loved Hanna; he truly did, but Mona… Mona was different. She was the Queen Bee of Rosewood High, and, most of the time he hated the popular girls, but Hanna and Mona were an exception. They both were witty and so full of life. It was like nothing brought them down. It felt like the world owed them both something. Hanna, of course, deserved a better man in her life especially after all she had been through. Her father had left her when she was younger, Sean was an ass to her, and now Caleb was making out with her best friend.
Mona detected something wrong because Caleb had zoned out for a moment.
"What's wrong?" Mona asked, pulling away from Caleb, a confused look on her face.
"Nothing," he lied, trying not to make it so obvious.
"I can tell when something's wrong, Caleb. I have ESPN, you know?" Mona said, looking Caleb in the eye.
"ESPN is a sports channel, Mona…"
"Oh… Well, what's wrong?"
"I've already hurt Hanna before… I don't want to hurt her again, Mona. This time… This time she might not forgive me. I don't want to lose her, but… But I love you, and I don't want to lose you either," Caleb said, sighing afterwards.
Mona turned back to the driver's wheel. She knew what she could do. She could torment Caleb, just like she was Aria, Emily, Hanna, and Spencer, or she could get over Caleb because he loved Hanna. She loved Hanna too, and that was the only reason why she was tormenting the four girls. She knew what she was doing was extremely wrong, but the devil inside of her always got her to send those horrible text messages. Maybe she could tell Caleb, and he wouldn't judge her, but there was the possibility that he would judge her. She had to tell him. Mona turned to face him. She took in a deep breath and closed her eyes.
"Caleb… I need to tell you something," Mona said, nervously.
"Okay… Go on."
"You can't… You can't judge me after I tell you this. I need to keep it a secret too. You can't tell anyone that I told you, not even Hanna… Especially Hanna. Just… Just forget it," Mona spoke.
"No, no, tell me, Mona. Tell me," Caleb told her.
"Okay, fine. You know Hanna has been acting weird lately… I know why. She's been getting texts from some bitch called A. I only know because… I've got them too." Mona bit her lip and looked down at her Prada 6 inch heels.
"Mona… Wow… I don't know what to say," Caleb replied, flabbergasted.
"Don't say anything," Mona told him. She looked away from her stilettos and kissed Caleb with as much passion she had in her body.
Caleb was shocked when Mona had kissed him, but he kissed her back with twice as much passion almost instantly. Mona wrapped her arms around his neck, enjoying every second of the kiss.
Neither of them realized that someone was watching them.
