Hanna opens her eyes, "Another day, another day I wake up and pretend that those feelings are not there". Hanna stands and starts to get ready for her day at school.
While on the shower Hanna starts to think, "Can I continue like this, how much more I can keep up with this." The blond starts to picture her best friend, Emily, Emily has always been there for her, she has always stood up for her. "I'm being fair with her? She has to know right? this cannot continue like this". She steps out of the shower and continues her daily routine while thinking.
"If I just tell Emily about those feelings, she will never believe me; she has been hurt too much, no she needs to find out on her own, but how?"
Hanna arrives at school and finds Spencer on her locker, Spencer she thinks she could be my allied, yes she is the brains after all, "Hey Spencer, can I ask you a question?"
S: "Hey Han, with the last grades that you got, is not only OK, in fact, I urge you to ask as many as possible.
The tall burnet responds while giggling. The blond just rolls her eyes; she needs to create a plan even if it means tolerating her friend's bickering.
H:"Haha, funny, how about we leave the comedy to me and the questions to you. Anyways my question is, have you notice anything stranger lately on the group?"
S: "Oh! God, yes… I thought I was the only one that noticed it but I'm glad you are on the same page with me."
H: "Great! Any plans on how we can fix it?"
S: "Yes, I say we get together in my house every day after school…"
Hanna is not sure where the brainiac is going but is something right, she hopes.
H: "Ok, I'm listening…"
S: "I say we first start with Math and then move to science, what you think?"
Hanna opens her mouth in disbelief what does math and science have to do with those feelings that could easily destroy her group of friends.
H: "Spence what the hell are you talking about?"
S:"Getting ready for Finals, isn't that what you are talking about"
H: "GOD, no and they say you are the smart one"
While Hanna raises her voice she does not notice that Emily approaches her, sweet sweet Emily, oblivious to everything that is happening. Emily wraps her arm around the blond. E: "Hey you crazy one, what is it with the screaming so early, I thought you didn't function before 10:00 am", the brunette says while laughing.
S: "Not sure Em, she was asking helps with her finals and now that I gave her a solution she is upset."
Hanna blood boils these two they can't even realize everything is happening.
"YOU KNOW WHAT…" the blond raises her voice, "Forget I even ask. I will fix this on my own", feeling upset the blond turns her heels and looks for her next class.
Hanna spends the rest of the morning thinking how to fix this, there has to be a way, think Hanna think you don't need help you can do this, is for her happiness after all.
Hanna exits her class and goes to the quad to have lunch with her friends. Hanna used to love with her friends, now they are filled with secret glances, secrets thoughts everything is secret and she can't tolerate it anymore, this is why these feelings need to come out she needs to get them on the open or the will eat her up.
Then she sees her Aria the hearth of the group, of course, for this she needs the hearth, not the brains. Hanna walks faster until she is at her friend's table and with very much energy she says, "Ar, I'm so glad I could find you, I need your help, please come to the bathroom with me". Taken back by the sudden outburst the short burnet can only nod and follows her bubbly and energetic friend to the bathroom.
Aria looks at Hanna as she does not understand the sudden change in her blonde friend behavior. "Everything fine Han, you seem preoccupied".
H: "Aria I need your help, how can I make someone, realize some feelings", Hanna takes a breath to calm herself; she needs to make sure she explains everything to Aria if not the short burnet will not be able to help her.
A: "Wait Han… do you like someone?" Aria asks with a squeal.
Hanna starts to sweat, she knew it; she needs to get out of this mess and fast. "What, not Ar is not me, is for a friend… yes, that is it, I'm helping a friend."
A: "Oooook, I guess…" say the burnet not fully convinced. "So you need to make someone realize some feelings? is that what you are telling?"
H: "YES…" the blond realize that she is screaming and decides to turn it down. "Yes, I need to create some sort of plan so my "Friend" can express these feelings".
Aria looks at Hanna she is not so sure this so-called "Friend" really exits but she knows she needs to help her blond friend.
A: "Well Han… I think the best way to attack this is to come out clean. What you should do…."
H: "Ar, I already told you is not me is a friend"
A: "Oh Yes you are right, sorry what you should tell your friend is that the best way to have someone realize these feeling is to be completely open about them and be ready to take whatever answer she or he may get. After all the no is already secure"
Hanna feels defeated she knows is not as simple as going and saying to this person, I like you, no there has to be some sort of cosmic movement for this to happen.
H: "Great," Hanna says with a half smile that Arian knows that was not the answer that she was waiting for. "Thank you Ar, I'll see you back at the table, I just need to get something from my locker".
While Hanna and Aria were in the bathroom talking, Spencer was joined by Emily and Alison.
Al: "Hey Spence, where are Aria and Hanna at?"
E: "Yeah, I feel like I haven't seen Hanna all day"
S: "Not sure, Han has been acting weird all day and she came all energetic asking Aria for some help in the bathroom that was about 10 min ago"
After Aria was left alone in the restroom by Hanna she makes her way back to the table where Spencer was setting, finding Alison and Emily there as well.
S: "Oh, look there is Aria. Hey, short stuff where is the prima donna" the burnet says while laughing at her own joke.
A: "She had to get something from her locker, oh there she is I knew she won't be long"
All the girls turn to see her normally happy friend looking a little down. Emily is the first to talk.
E: "Hey Hanna… I save a seat next to you, everything all right?"
Nice Emily, Hanna think always worried by everyone. Oh, how I wish I could just help you Em I just don't know how, but I'm trying. She will get your happy ending I can promise you that.
H: "Yeah, all great. Just don't feel like me today"
E: "I think that is because you haven't gotten your Hanily time for today"
Hanna giggles her best friend is trying really hard to make her laugh, she knows she is not too happy with the ship name. Heck nobody from the group is to keen with them, only her.
H: "Yeah, Em I guess you are right, the good thing is that you are here now", the blonde says with a smile.
After their exchange everyone goes to her normal routine. Every one oblivious to those sighs, those looks; yeah everyone is unaware, everyone but her. Hanna starts to browser a magazine to cover her actual actions, she is looking at every single option. While everyone is talking, Paige approaches the table to talk to Emily about her next practice. Paige; Emily's swim teammate. The only other Lesbian at school. At least so far. While she sees the exchange she notices a new look; a look that was not there before.
Or wait, was it there before. Hanna starts to review the past year or so of looks that she has register to determine if that look has been present before. Invest in her thoughts; the blonde realizes that, Yes! That look has been there and many times.
Could it be that she got it, the key to this problem; the key to her master plan. Yes! It is that look is all she needs to create and execute her plan.
H: "Eureka"
Paige already has gone and after that outburst, the rest of the girls look at her friend in disbelief.
Al: "Hanna! What the HELL"
S: "Hannaaaa, would you please calm down"
A: "Han?"
E: "Han? Are you ok"
All the girls speak at once, but Hanna can only look at Emily, with her kind eyes. That is the reassurance that she needed. She needs to have this plan in motion as soon as possible.
This is for Emily and she is worth this and so much more.
H: "Yeah… I'm fine, great actually… I have to go. See you later guys"
The girls just look at Hanna and decide that they will approach their blonde best friend at another time.
After her revelation, Hanna spends the rest of the day and night planning her Master Plan, without a doubt this will work. This has to work. If not she may lose Emily and that is something that she can't accept.
