AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is solely based on the one episode I have seen of Lucas and Hanna together. I haven't read the books so a lot of this I'll make up off the top of my head, I am doing some research about them from the books to at least stay a bit consistent, but don't be mad if I stray from what they are in books, but I will follow so far what the show has presented of the two.
Chapter One- It Isn't As Easy To Be Me
Laying in bed, the blonde haired girl looked up at her ceiling trying to determine if the world would fall off its axis if she had decided to spend the day in her bed, her world had already felt off with the mysterious text message from "A", so she figured why not give up. Feeling restless as she lay still in one spot in the bed, Hanna quickly sat up in the bed, looking out the window to the shining so brightly. She usually loved days like this, days in which she could flaunt her newly well deserved body that Sean apparently was deadest against touching in any sexual manner. Huffing in frustration at the thought of the ongoing saga of Sean and her attempting to advance in their relationship, Hanna did everything she could to think of something other than Sean. Her plan started off pretty good, but the more she thought the more she felt antsy to just get up and move. Getting up from her bed, Hanna walked over to her window to look outside at the leaves dwindling in the light breeze, as people walked along the sidewalk of her house, looking across the way, Hanna had hoped that Emily was feeling better after her accident at Homecoming. Much of Hanna's thoughts had gone towards how Emily was feeling, especially since she saw the pictures of Maya and her, she must be scared was all she kept thinking. Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, Hanna began to look intently out her window at the dark haired boy that walked on the sidewalk in front of her house. Watching the boy from her window, she could see that his destination was her house but he was unsure how to approach. Hanna quickly laughed in sympathy at Lucas as she realized he was even more of a dork than she thought. Grabbing her robe, Hanna quickly went downstairs.
"Do you need something?" Hanna said after she opened the door just as Lucas had turned to leave. Turning around nervously, Lucas looked as if he was trying to formulate the right thing to say to explain why he was there
"You. You left your wallet in my car, hence the reason why I know where you live because its on you identification" Lucas said as he pulled the wallet out of his pants pocket as he walked towards her
"I hadn't even noticed I lost it. Last night was crazy" Hanna said as she received the wallet
"I bet. Its not everyday that a girl like you wins Homecoming Queen" Lucas replied "That sounded worse than what I had meant to say. I'm sorry" he quickly apologized realizing his mistake
"No, I get what you mean. I didn't get to enjoy the moment though, my friend had an accident, so that trumped everything else" Hanna said
"Well if it makes you feel any better, the King and Queen take their pictures today after school" Lucas told her
"Really? Well I guess I'll have to take extra time to get ready then" Hanna smiled "Thank you for the ride again last night" she told him
"No problem" Lucas replied
"Well I have to get ready for school, for the picture and everything" Hanna said "I'll see you at school" she said turning to walk back inside her house
"Yeah, at school, where us talking would be against every popularity code you have" Lucas said to himself in sadness before he continued on his path towards school
After much needed grooming, Hanna finally pranced down the staircase and into the kitchen, where she saw her mom pour herself a cup of coffee as she watched the news. Grabbing her half of the grapefruit from the fridge, Hanna joined her mother at the counter just sitting in a moment of silence watching the news. This had seemed to be their routine ever since her dad left, it wasn't due to the obvious sadness they both felt but because it was a certain stillness they had knowing that the other was still there and didn't want to go. Sometimes it was hard to forget that he had walked out on both of them. Breaking the silence, Hanna's mom quickly turned off the television and began to get ready for work.
"So what's on your agenda today?" Hanna's mom asked
"Nothing much. I have homecoming pictures, then maybe doing something with Sean" Hanna told her mother
"Sounds good, try to avoid the mall for a few days. My account is still trying to recover after you pulled a Winona on the King James Mall" Hanna's mom said
"If it keeps Mr. Detective away then I'll be glad to" Hanna replied
"So you two are on good terms again?" Hanna's mom asked
"I don't know. There was so much going on at the dance that we really haven't talked about us" Hanna said
"I like Sean, he's….he's safe for you" Hanna's mom said trying to find the words to describe her daughters boyfriend
"Safe? Could you have picked a better word?" Hanna laughed
"That's what I think of when I think Sean" Hanna's mom smiled "Have a good day sweetheart" she said leaning in to kiss Hanna on the cheek
Poking away at his stale lunch choices, Lucas couldn't help but look on at the excitement the rest of his peers were having during lunch. Sitting with the band, he always found himself looking at others have the fun he himself wished he was having, a good time for him at lunch was hoping that Ronny the trumpet player wouldn't sit by him. On occasion his glances would go over towards Hanna, who seemed to be the epicenter of all things popular about Rosewood High. Lost in his stare of her, Lucas hadn't realized that his friend, Alton, had took his seat beside him.
"Earth to Lucas" Alton said waving his tuna sandwich in front of his face to catch Lucas's attention "Oh, I see your visiting Hanna land" he said noticing who he was staring at
"I wasn't at Hanna land. I was just looking at tomorrow's menu, I happen to be very concerned with the direction the cafeteria food is going in" Lucas lied "Okay, that's a load of crap. I gave the wallet back" he told him
"What? That could have been our bargaining chip" Alton complained
"Bargaining for what?" Lucas asked
"To get into the parties my friend. We tell Hanna Marin that we have her wallet that contains personal information and boom! We have her right where we want her" Alton told him of his diluted plan
"Yeah, and we'll be in jail. I'm not going to blackmail her. She's actually pretty nice" Lucas said "She was at the virgin club meeting the other day, and she spoke sentences to me at the dance" he smiled happily at Alton, who was not impressed
"Sentences? We came to high school to get sentences from them, the popular. Once again Lucas, I have to point you in the right direction" Alton told his friend
"No, I'm perfectly fine on my own path" Lucas laughed
"Path to where? Girls like Hanna don't notice the nice guy or want to bang the nice guy. They want the jocks, the rude guys, who were born with six packs or at least five packs" Alton said
"Okay, your getting a little extreme. I'm not looking to bang Hanna Marin. She's in the virginity club for crying out loud with her boyfriend Sean, did I forget to mention that" Lucas said
"I hardly doubt those two are bumping monkeys on a regular basis. She's probably one of those chicks who want to be born again after doing the nasty in unsanitary place" Alton imagined to himself while Lucas listened with disgust
"Get rid of the skin flicks, they're effecting you in more ways than you can imagine" Lucas said getting up from his seat "I've accepted the roles of high school. Geeks and Popular don't mix. There's no blackmailing your way into that" he said as he grabbed his tray and left
Primping in front of the mirror, Hanna did her best to make herself look drop dead gorgeous, but A had managed to get to her. She hated that this unknown had come into her life and completely turned it upside down, so now all she could do was sit in anticipation hoping that this A person would disappear after realizing that her and her friends weren't as fun to play with as some other losers would be. Giving herself one more look before deciding that she was ready to take the picture, Hanna turned away from the mirror to see Sean sitting at the vacated table texting on his phone, going over to join him, she quickly grabbed a seat in front of him.
"I'm glad we're doing this" Hanna said tearing him away from his texting
"Yeah, its something we can look back and remember" Sean smiled weakly
"Another reminder of how we're good together" Hanna smiled softly
"Are we? I mean are we really that good together or are we just tolerating each other?" Sean asked
"No. Sean we're good together" Hanna said
"I don't know Hanna, last night I was hoping to figure that out but you were just everywhere last night. You weren't at the dance, your mind was somewhere else" Sean told her
"Yeah, because what happened to Em" Hanna said "I was worried about her being with Toby" she said
"So? Emily chose to take Toby" Sean said
"She's my friend Sean, I worry about her" Hanna said
"No, I didn't mean for it to sound like I don't want you to care about your friend. I just thought that we would try to figure us out last night without any distractions" Sean said
"And by that what do you mean? were you ready to have sex?" Hanna asked making Sean even more upset
"Not everything is about sex" Sean declared annoyed with her
"Then what is it about? I'm trying here, Sean. I think I'm trying to see your point of view more than your trying to see mine" Hanna said
"Well maybe that's the problem. Maybe we don't want the same things" Sean said
"Maybe it is" Hanna agreed
"So its clear then. We're no more" Sean said catching a look of sadness wash over Hanna even more so than it all ready had
"Okay, we're ready for you two" Lucas told them as he walked over to them unaware that he was interrupting a serious moment between the two of them. Hanna quickly got up from her seat trying to hide the tears that were coming to her eyes as Sean followed behind her
"I have to do reapply my eyeliner. I don't want blotchy eyes" Hanna turned to tell the photographer before walking over to her bag. Sifting through her stuff she noticed she had a new text message. Rolling her eyes in frustration, she took a deep breath before opening her cell phone to see it was yet another text from A
