The day dragged on, leaving a hungry ache in my stomach. I slept through breakfast, I was exhausted last night. Caleb woke me up, we went to the store do some shopping since all the food was gone. Damned Caleb. Not only this became a ritual also I got used to the new people in my high school. It's only week two and I feel pretty good here. Mainly thanks to Caleb, I might be on my own in school but it's great to have a friend after school. I do have made some friends where I can sit with during lunch. It all started on Monday when I found a rose in my locker, after that I tried to not run away from Sean anymore. He's a very nice guy, amazing to get to know him. I do keep in mind he wants to go on a date, but not yet.

And also there was Emily, this model worthy girl with diamond eyes and a contagious smile. We haven't really spoken this week, she shyly waves when she sees me and for some reason I get flustered every single time. When I looked over her table I saw Hanna narrowing her eyes looking at me closely. Just like I did last week, only I might be a step ahead.

"Do you want to go out with me tonight?" My mind was racing. "Sorry I already have plans." This was to be honest a hard decision to make. If I would go with my heart I would say yes, he's sweet not creepy and handsome but for whatever reason someone else stole my mind. "We can go grab a coffee Saturday morning? Before football practice, what do you think?" Sean asked.

"Paige McCullers!" Everyone was getting back to class, I froze in the crowd when someone called my name. My jaw nearly dropped to my feet. Hanna Marin, the girls voice brought everything back. My first camp buddy. She agitated the people around us, not caring she stumbled through to me. She squealed and hugged me. It was the same full on hug she used to give me back when we were little, between building camps, surviving in the woods, staring campfires. My head was filled with so many questions. I want to know how everything went after the last camp we saw each other about eight years ago. What happened to her? How are her parents? What's up with Sean? Who are the girls always around her? And Emily. I was so flabbergasted I couldn't get a single word of my mouth.

"I can't believe that it's you! When I heard Emily talking about this new girl Paige, I was like no way I know a Paige! You have changed so much, your hair! Red looked good on you but this damn girl!"

I laughed. Yes this was Hanna, for sure. "You're the one everyone is talking about, you're the catch here." I said. "Is this a flirt attempt?" Hanna winked. What did she know? What did Emily tell her? Does she think I flirt full on with girls or am a lesbian? "Sean asked me out." I blurted out. "So he's not gay than." She answered after her face fell. That was so last minute, right now she dragged me in class. I was seated next to her, she passed notes to me none stop with questions. I felt good and cared about. I watched Hanna talking to Emily not so long ago all through class. Now I'm the victim. But in a good way, it makes me feel less alone.

We were utterly happy and not paying attention in class at all. I opened her last note and couldn't keep a giggle inside. I looked at her and followed her eyes, landing on Sean. I re-read her note saying that someone's been studying me. Her next notes were why he's such a great guy. I looked at her puzzled, she just shrugged. His blond hair, his perfect eyes, his athletic built body, I let my eyes drawn over his body.

I had to grow some balls and meet him at Saturday morning for coffee.

I wanted to stay in bed, burry my face in my pillow and stay like that forever. It wasn't because I was tired. I don't want to go because I know what is going to happen, I'm not settled in yet and what if I like Sean? I don't want to add something new in my life when I just turned it all upside down.

I walked in the coffee shop I looked up and saw Sean sitting near the door. I walked over and sat down across of him. "Hey, thanks for coming." He smiled.

I flashed him a smile. "So a couple days ago you told me you had to see the coach. How did that go? What team?" He asked concentrated. "I wanted to try out for the field hockey team. Coach didn't really have much time to hear me out."

"Good morning, what can I bring you?" I looked up and saw Emily, of course she had to work here. Sean let me order first, only I had trouble to speak. I pretended to have trouble deciding what to order. I was aware I was staring at her dark brown hair, slight messy look but she pulled it off perfectly. Her darker skin was glancing, and her eyes the most beautiful ever. For a moment I thought how lucky a human could be if someone like her showed interest in you.

She's way too beautiful. She's the kind of girl people want and envy. I admired her beauty and was wondering if her heart would be pure too. No wait no. I don't admire her beauty she's a girl! I must look like an idiot staring at her like that but she was doing the same thing. I gulped when I saw the ring on her finger. I came back to reality to see a blush on Emily's face and a questioning glance on Sean's.

"Do you want to play 20 questions to get to know each other better?" Sean asked as soon we managed to order. "Of course." I smiled feeling nervous.

"So where did you live before?" He asked. "Allentown."

"How old are you?" I asked.

"16. You?" "Same."

We went back and forth with a couple more questions, we had a few interests incoming. I loved sports it keeps me going, same thing counts for him. He moved his hand towards mine on the table, smile as our hands touched. It was a nice feeling. I smiled for a second. A short second. Emily put our coffees on the table without a word.

"So who's turn is it to ask a question?" I asked blushing. His grip hardened on my hand. I pulled away and combed it through my hair. I quickly turned to look over my shoulder, I couldn't read Emily's facial expression. "What's your favorite food?" I asked him. "Sushi. It's the best." He said leaning back in his chair.

"It sounds good, but I never tasted it." I confessed, taking a sip from my coffee.

"Are you serious? Can't be! We should go sometime." He suggested. I nodded. "Yeah that would be fun." I set my drink back down. "Your turn."

"What's your biggest secret?" He asked. I looked down and thought deeply. What is my biggest secret? My mind drifted to the accident, and everything what went on that day. There are multiply versions about that day, I never corrected anyone. I lied about sleep overs sometimes, I'm not a big liar. But everyone has secrets no? Maybe I can tell some camp stories, we can always bond over Hanna. I can't talk about James, my parents or Hanna. I don't feel comfortable talking about my ex-boyfriend, I don't want to talk about my parents and topic Hanna could be awkward. A lot of memories started to flow in.

"Paige what's wrong?"

"Nothing. I just don't think I can stay." I stood up and walked out the door rather fast.

"Paige wait up!" Sean followed me out. "Let me take you home." I could see the worry in his eyes. He had a concerned look on his face. I nodded with my head, we walked back to his car. He opened the door for me. I weakly smiled at him as he shut the door. I gave him directions to the little bit more beautiful street a few blocks away from my poor neighborhood. "Thank you." I said as he pulled into front of my fake house. "Are you okay?" I nodded. He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around me. We stayed like that for a while. I thanked him again. "No problem. So I'll see you on Monday?" He smiled. He walked back to his car, I waited for a few minutes and started to walk to my street.

He was so sweet and caring. I got a feeling of betrayal in my stomach. Emily.
