I do not own Pretty Little Liars.

Chapter 2 - Shopping With Who?

"Hey, Caleb." Hanna greeted her boyfriend with a peck on the lips. Spencer smiled at them, trying to get convince herself that she did not have strong, romantic feelings for Hanna. On the other hand, Emily looked more than displeased at the site. Nobody noticed, luckily for her.

"Come on guys. We're eating." Alison laughed, which caused the two to pull away and Emily to silently sigh in relief.

Aria then came rushing over, exasperated. "You okay, Ar?" Hanna asked, noticing her signature eye twitch. That only happens either when she's angry, upset, or hyper.

"No, Meredith has been up my ass and Ezra." She whispered the last part, knowing she is in the high school cafeteria.

"Meredith?" Alison asked. "Your dad's still-?"

"Yes. She's also the new history teacher." Aria reached over and took one of Spencer's cheese fries. Chewing angrily before reaching out for another one, but Spencer slapped her hand away. The short friend looked at her with a pleading look.

"Can't you buy some for yourself?" Spencer whined, as she forgot to eat breakfast this morning.

"Can't I just share with you?" She gave her the puppy dog face. "Please?"

The brunette rolled her eyes, pushing her tray closer towards her.

"So what happened with the step-monster?" Hanna asked, stealing some of Spencer's fries too.

"She's not my step-monster," Aria huffed. "yet."

"Yet?" Alison asked. "You mean, your dad-"

"Yep. He proposed! And where was I? With Mrs. Fitz-scary."

"Wow. You already met the parents?" Spencer asked, in an amused tone.

"Accidentally. I came over his apartment and she was there, wearing Spencer clothes."

Spencer furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "What's that supposed to mean?" She accused. "Are you saying I dress like a forty year old mother with an english teacher as a son?"

"You know, I do want my own cheese fries." Aria absentmindedly said, getting up and heading over to buy her own cheese fries. Spencer rolled her eyes as she noticed her empty tray, before a thought resurfaced her mind.

"I don't-" Spencer began.

"Oh, sweetie. You do." Alison interrupted, in a joking matter.

"That bad?"

"Don't worry. It actually makes you look good, but yeah you look like you just got out of your mom's closet." Hanna answered.

"Gee, thanks Han."

"Well, at least you don't wear mom jeans?" She tried making her feel better.

"Yeah, you show off those Hastings legs." Alison winked.

Spencer laughed as Hanna added. "Oh, and what you're wearing right now is actually a really cute outfit. Makes you look really sexy." Nobody noticed how quiet Emily's gotten. Inside her mind, she was fuming with jealousy. First, she gives her a massage and now she's calling her sexy.

Spencer tries not to blush, constantly reminding herself that it was a friendly joke. You have Toby! She's your best friend! Nothing more, and nothing less! Caleb looked less than amused at his girlfriends behavior. He looked at her, a tiny bit suspicious before chuckling to himself as he realized it was a friendly compliment.

She was glad when Aria returned with a plate of fries. Spencer reached for one, but Aria slapped her hand away. "Ow!"

"Can't you buy some for yourself?" Aria whined.

"Can't I just share with you?" Spencer gave her the pouty face. While Aria looked at her with the same look, Hanna and Caleb were able to steal some off her plate.

"Fine." A few seconds of silence erupted between the table, before a girl about as short as Aria came walking over.

"Hey, Hanna." Mona Vanderwaal greeted, cheery. "Caleb, Hanna's other friends."

"Hey, Mona?" Hanna replied. "What are you doing here?"

"I was wondering if you were still going to the mall with me?"

"Oh, yeah. Right. I'll see you after school?"

"Its a date." She smirked. "See you later, honey." And with that, she strutted off her high heels clanking against the school floors.

Spencer looked at her, surprised. "You…? Going to the mall?" Spencer stated questions, pausing in between each. "With Mona?… Vanderwaal?"

"Yeah, I don't know either." Hanna laughed. "I bumped into her at the Brew the other day, and then we started talking about Aaron Aguirre."

"What about Aaron Aguirre?" Caleb asked, suddenly interested.

"Oh, he's gay."

"What? I've known Aaron since I was a fetus. He's not gay. He's on the football team." Alison furrowed her eyebrows.

Spencer looked at Ali. "He might of not known he was gay then."

"I caught Aaron making out with Josh Southwick in the boys bathroom at the Brew." Hanna said, in a hushed tone.

"What were you doing in the boys bathroom?" Aria asked.

"Look, I thought it was the ladies room."

"That makes sense. You've only been to the Brew a million times." Spencer laughed.

"Hey! Things can change. People can grow."

"A Brew is a coffee shop, not a person." Ali pointed out.

"I know, just saying." The bell rang soon after, and Alison, Spencer, and Aria went off their separate ways.

Caleb gave her a quick kiss, "See you tonight, after your shopping trip?"

Hanna nodded, giving him a smile before frowning. She looked at Mona across the cafeteria, remembering what she had done the night previous.

"You know, I never thought we would ever spend time together and actually have fun." Mona said as they entered Hanna's house, laughing at the blond's joke.

"Me neither. I thought you were just some stuck up bitch who got everything she wanted from mommy and daddy." Hanna replied, looking at her.

"Hey, hey. I earn my stuff and to be honest, I hated you."

"So did I. I hated you even more when you came to school dressed in the same top as me."

"Same, but why were you mad?"

Hanna grew quiet. "Because I was jealous."

Mona looked confused. "How?"

"Because I thought you looked much better than me."

By then, their faces were only inches away from each other. Hanna gulped as she felt Mona lean closer, her lips brushing against her own. Everything happened so fast. Their lips were immediately attacking the others. Mona's back pressed against the back of the door.

Hanna pulled away, gasping. Not for air, but out of shock. "Oh my-"

"I'm so sorry!" Mona shrieked.

Hanna widened her eyes, realization hitting her. "Caleb!" She pinched the bridge of her nose, closing her eyes.

"Hanna?" Mona whispered, after beats of silence.

"Hm?"

"Are you-"

"I don't know." She snapped. "Wait, are you?"

"Have been for quite a while now?" Awkwardly, she made gestures towards the door. "I'm just going to- Yeah, I'm gonna go and leave you to your thinking? Alright bye!"

Hanna was about to walk over to Mona, but Emily stopped her. "Hey, Han? You okay?"

"I'm not gay." Hanna said, without thinking.

Emily widened her eyes. "What? I-"

"Sorry, I was just thinking and, uh, you know me. Always questioning my sexuality."

The swimmer looked at her. "When have you- never mind. Um, I was wondering if you wanted to walk to class with me?"

"Uh, yeah. Sure. No problem. Lets go!" Seeing as Mona was heading towards the other direction and there was no way of catching up to her now. Well, there was. But she didn't feel like running all the way there. "So how are you, Em? You've been quiet all lunch period."

"I'm fine."

"That's all I get? No, I aced my midterm exam? I won my swim race or anything like that?"

"Nothing really interesting is going on in my life right now." She shrugged.

"So how are you and Samara?"

Reluctantly, she spoke up. "We broke up."

Hanna widened her eyes. "What! When! Why! Where! Who! How! What!" The two stopped dead in her tracks. Three minutes till the next late bell rings.

"Samara and I broke up a few days ago by talking to her at the Brew because things weren't working out." She answered, quietly. "Does that answer your question?"

"But you guys were so-"

"I know."

"Its okay." Samara whispered. "You can't help who you fall in love with."

"Do you think I'm gay?" Hanna asked, whispering almost.

"Well, you did say Spencer looked-"

"Well she did and she's our best friend."

"Still, people can get the wrong impression. But if you think you are, you'll know. And you can't tell if you just gay. It depends on the girl you fall for."

Hanna thought about that, two girls coming to her mind.
