Ch. 1 – The Invite

Hanna's POV – School Lockers

"Hey Em, wanna come over to my place tonight and watch a scary movie?" I ask, leaning with my back against my locker trying to sound all casual.

Inside though, I'm a nervous wreck. Since finding out that Emily is into girls, I've been a complete mess. Unfortunately though, she still thinks I'm straight and I'm too afraid to tell her I'm not.

Emily lifts her head up and smiles.

"Sounds like fun, Hanna. You know I can't turn down a scary movie," Emily says as she runs her hand through her hair.

Damn that's sexy. It's almost as if she's flirting with me when she does that, but I know she's just being Emily and probably doesn't realize how sexy she is half the time.

"How about you come over to my place at 5 and we can do dinner first. My mom's out of town this week on business."

"Perfect. I'll bring popcorn and pizza," Emily smiles as she loops her arm through mine and drags me off down the hallway.

I melt into her body as much as I can without being obvious and inhale her perfume. Wow, who knew that being this close to Emily could make you feel like you were floating on air?

Halfway down the school, we bump into Spencer and Aria.

"Who's the cute couple?" Aria jests as she see us.

"Very funny," Emily laughs. "I'm sure if Hanna were gay, I'd be the last person she'd want to date."

Last person. More like one and only, I think.

"If Hanna were gay?" Spencer laughs. "She's as boy crazy as they come."

"You're right Spence," Emily says as she turns her head and smiles at me. "I guess my evil plan to convert her will never happen."

"Ha ha, very funny," I reply. "Are we going to class or what?"

"Or what," Aria answers. "We still have 5 minutes. So what's everyone up to tonight."

"Studying for the History mid-term," Spencer replies.

"Exciting," Aria says sarcastically.

"Hanna and I are watching a scary movie at her place if you two want to join us?" Emily offers.

Please say no. Please say no. I plead desperately in my own head.

"Sounds better than studying," Spencer says eagerly.

Damn it. Why can't I have Emily all to myself this evening.

"Seriously?" Aria gives Spencer a sceptical look.

"Yeah, I mean, I'm tired of studying. Besides, I think a movie would be a nice break," Spencer replies.

"A movie yes. But you hate scary movies," Aria says.

Thank you Aria.

"I don't hate scary movies. I just think the people in them are stupid," Spencer counters.

"Yeah, well, Em and I love scary movies and the people in them. So if you change your mind and would rather study, that's cool with us," I say, hoping Spencer will take the bait.

"No, no. I'm willing to watch anything to get my mind off this mid-term," Spencer replies. "What time should we be over."

"Seven," I answer dejectedly.

"Seven?" Emily looks at me all confused. "I thought we were doing dinner first?

"Oh, yeah, that. I forgot," I lie. "5 pm it is."

All I wanted was at least a couple hours alone with Em, but now that's shot to hell.
