Time Stands Still
Chapter One
"Hanna let's get a move on, it's 6:30!" My mom shouts through the door. 5 more weeks of school, just fine more weeks. I say to myself. I drag myself out of bed and walk into my bathroom, sighing grab my hair alstic and put my hair up in a pony tail. Game day. I love these days, don't have to think about what to wearing something cute, get to go to school in my uniform. I walk down stairs in my uniform for my home game today and my mom gives me her once over. "You know when I told your father I wanted two kids, a boy for him and a girl for me. I didn't ever think the girl would end up becoming my second son." I rolled my eyes, "Ha Ha, you're so funny. You're coming to the game right?" My mom looked up from the paper and cup of coffee in hand, "Sweetie I have my board meeting tonight, I can't make it. I am sure your father will be there. Shit, I have to go. Good luck hit my a double! Love you." She gives me a kiss and walks out the door before I get to say anything. I go to the fridge and pull out my lunch along with a yogurt. I check the stove on the clock 7:02, better start the day. I grab my keys, gym bag and ipod. I lock the door and about to turn on my ipod when I hear the house next door's front door slam shut, I rolled my eyes at the sight of Caleb Rivers coming out- he thinks he is so badass. We used to be best friends, our mom's used to joke about how one day we would get married, but when we got to middle school and his mom died of cancer we stopped talking. I found sports and my friends to be more important and hanging out with a guy always meant that they were together and it wasn't like that with us, anything but that. I forgot that I was still somewhat staring at him when he gives me a nod and proceeds to his car. I grunt and blast my ipod to start off my day.
I pulled into the parking lot at Rosewood High and I see my friends waiting outside Aria's car. I step out and almost got run over a 65 mustang convertible. "HEY I'M WALKING HERE JACKASS!" In the heat of my anger of almost losing my foot I notice a stupid grin that was once familiar to me. "Sorry princess I didn't mean to interrupt your big entrance, must have missed the rest of your parade." I hated when he called me that, and I hate when he calls me that now. I am not a princess, and if I was my parents would still be together and I wouldn't go to family counseling. Princesses don't have to deal with the pain of others because they don't like someone else. He must have forgotten what my parents were like when we were friends. "Whatever, look before you run over people next time." Then I kicked his tire and walked over to my friends who were waiting. "Hanna, do you always have to start your mornings off with yelling at someone, especially Caleb?" I smirked, "Yes. Would it be a normal day if I didn't?" We walk into school and I am already for the day to end. Just get on the field and forget my worries about other things.
When 3rd period ends I go to my locker, notice Caleb is at his dangled from mine. He notices me coming by to go to mine, I try to avoid eye contact, and oddly my heart starts skipping. I never noticed when we younger that his eyes were like a chocolate brown-makes me want to melt into them sort of. I really needed to stop thinking about it. I look away and see Spencer coming down the hall to talk to me, when she walks over we hear a body being slammed into a locker, she and I jump and we see Toby on the ground slowly getting up. Sean is laughing over him. Caleb looks over at us and gives me that look like "I can't believe you are with that loser." I give him a half hearted smile that says "It's not my fault." Spencer sees the communication and feels the need to say something to fill the silence and bring me back to reality. "You sure know how to pick your boyfriends Hanna." I laugh. "Yeah, well whatever keeps mommy from questioning why I am out late at night with AAU and with you guys, it works for me." I say still watching the fight that is happening to Toby and Sean. I shut my locker and go between them staring down Sean as we make it to the door ending the hall and wait for Aria to come by, out of the corner of my eye I see Toby pulls something out of his backpack, black and perfect size to his hand. I grab Spencer by the hand, and she looks over at us. BANG! The glass between the door is broken and I can't find where Spencer went, I can't move my leg-it feels like someone lit a match and threw it on my leg. Everyone is running not noticing me on the ground. I don't know what to do, I inchworm myself to Mr. Fitz room-it's completely empty. I make my way to the desk and sit underneath it and start to cry in pain-and pray for someone to find me.
A/N: I got inspired by the idea by the episode of one tree hill in season three when there's the school shooting. I am trying to make this better and sorry for this being kinda all over the place. Hope you guys are liking it. =]
