Aria's face lit up as she read the text on her phone, she'd been texting Jason for most of last night and the beginning of the morning. She was currently waiting for Hanna to get changed into her yoga outfit and she was sure Hanna had been in the bathroom for over 5 minutes now.
"Hanna are you still alive in there?" Aria called teasingly from the other side of the door. Hanna mumbled something and then opened the door begrudgingly. "Why do we have to go to yoga?!"
"Oh come on Han, it will be fun!"
"Whatever. What's got you in such a happy mood this morning?" Hanna asked raising her perfectly plucked eyebrow.
"Jason asked me to have dinner with him tonight" Aria replied calmly, although on the inside she felt anything but calm.
"Good for you Ar!"
The two friends finally made their way to their yoga class and got settled in straight away.
"How do you even bend like that?!" Hanna asked as she tried to mirror Aria's position. It was the day after the campfire and the girls had begun their morning activities, meaning Hanna and Aria had opted Yoga.
"I guess years of going to my moms yoga class have paid off" Aria said laughing as Hanna fell over onto the mat. The instructor at the front of the class glared at the girls, making them laugh even more. Hanna soon recovered and got up, still grinning.
"So have you heard from Jason yet?"
"Nope. I texted him back but he hasn't replied, he's probably busy."
"Probably went back to bed. He doesn't have to do yoga at 8:45 in the morning" Hanna grumbled, the group had all eaten their breakfast together at 8:15 before going their separate ways to their different activities.
"Stop whining Han" Aria said laughing at her friend. "What are you doing after this anyway?"
"Swimming with Spencer and Caleb" Hanna answered before adding "I think Paige and Emily are actually swimming right now."
"I think so, I have arts and crafts with Em next anyway so they're not swimming then. Oh and try not to jump Caleb's bones when you're in the pool with Spence" Aria teased, grinning as Hanna opened her mouth to talk but shut it again, Hanna eyed Aria weirdly as Aria stood doing the tree pose.
"I can't take you seriously when you're doing that and for the record last night Caleb and I have more class than that," Hanna stated making Aria laugh even harder.
"Hmm sure you do."
"Hey is that Jason over there?" Hanna pointed making Aria turn around and frown when she saw he wasn't there, now it was Hanna's turn to laugh.
"Sorry Ar, but that was funny" Hanna said laughing so hard mid pose that she toppled over, Aria tried to help her up but her laughing distracted her and she ended up falling over next to Hanna. By now the instructor looked at them furiously but they laughed even harder, despite everyone staring at them.
Whilst Aria and Hanna were lying in a mess of tangled limbs laughing hysterically, Emily and Paige had been competing against each other in order to beat the record time. After an intense lap they had both tied and beaten the time.
"I think that has to be one of the hardest I've ever pushed myself" Emily admitted as they got out the pool and sat watching others compete.
"It's even worse than the workouts than the coach at school makes us do usually" Paige said agreeing with her, the two sat in comfortable silence for a while whist holding hands until the the camp coach dismissed everyone. They hurried to the changing rooms and quickly showered before getting dressed. They still had a good 5 minutes left before their next activities so Paige decided to walk Emily to the art room.
"So I was thinking maybe we could have lunch on our own today? Away from our friends? As much as I love them I'd like to have some private time with you" Paige said boldly, hoping Emily would feel the same way.
Emily nodded in agreement before she replied "I'd like that, I'll meet you back at your room after the next activity."
Aria approached Emily and Paige and greeted cheerfully "Hey Em, hey Paige."
"I was just off now, I'll see you later Em, bye Aria," Paige said before walking off, turning round once to wave at her friend and girlfriend.
"So how was yoga with Hanna?" Emily asked, laughing at Aria as she held back a laugh. "Let's just say it was interesting, how was swimming?"
"Good, but I feel like I've pulled a muscle in my back" Emily said as she rubbed her upper back. The girls stood chatting for a few more minutes until they were called into the room by the art instructor.
Time flew quickly and soon Aria and Emily parted ways to go and meet different people. Emily went off to find Paige and Aria went to find Spencer, Toby and Lucas.
"I'm so glad we finally have some time alone" Caleb said as they crept back up to Hanna's room, their instructor had let them finish early and Spencer had gone off to meet Aria, Lucas and Toby whilst Emily had gone off to lunch with Paige meaning Hanna and Caleb finally had some time alone.
"Me too" Hanna said as she got out the two paper plates and two sandwich boxes. Hanna handed Caleb the tuna mayo sandwich while she placed the chicken mayo sandwich on her plate.
They ate in comfortable silence until they were finished, Hanna took the plates and shoved them in the bin by the door.
"Now we're alone I have an idea what we could do.." Hanna said suggestively, Caleb raised an eyebrow but grinned as she placed soft kisses along his neck.
"And what would that be?" He teased, groaning when she placed kisses on his pulse point.
"I could maybe, do your makeup again" Hanna suggested, laughing when Caleb looked mortified. "I will get you back for that one day."
"Maybe you will, maybe you won't. Seriously though, I think I have an idea you might like" Hanna whispered as she straddled Caleb's lap, he smirked and nodded before he rolled them over and started his task on making her feel loved.
"I told Aria we had more class than that" Hanna mumbled to herself before focusing on the guy on top of her, Caleb gave her a puzzled look before grinning.
"So how was swimming with Caleb and Hanna?" Aria asked raising an eyebrow at Spencer as they ate their lunch in the mess hall.
"Surprisingly they managed to keep their hands off each other when the instructor was watching, when her back was turned they were all over each other," Spencer answered before she took a bite of her sandwich.
"Wow that must be a new record for them" Lucas joked, causing the other three to laugh.
"Remember when they both had detention and were seated away from each other? I'd never seen Hanna so excited to hear the bell ring" Aria said laughing at the memory, she smiled even more when she saw Jason queuing up to get his lunch, he spotted her and waved slightly before joining some other camp workers on a different table.
"So what's the deal now with you and Jason?" Toby asked Aria, Spencer smiled when she saw her friend blush.
"He may or may not have asked me to have dinner with him this evening."
"Ooh tell us more!" Spencer said, her face perking up. Toby grinned at his girlfriends eagerness to know every detail.
"We were texting all last night after the campfire and he asked me out to dinner tonight," Aria said trying to sound as casual as possible.
"Are you guys a couple now?" Lucas asked as he sat his lunch, he was so glad that he had befriended Hanna otherwise he wouldn't have made friends with Caleb, Toby, Emily, Paige, Spencer or Aria. The 4 girls had come along way from being in Alison's possy.
"I'd like to be. It all depends on what he wants now" Aria answered as she thought about being Jason's girlfriend, smiling she looked up and caught his gaze again.
"Oh please. I think we all know he wants to be with you Ar," Spencer replied before adding "He can barely take his eyes off you!"
"Spencer's right," Toby said as he found Spencer's hand under the table and held it, caressing her thumb gently.
"Let's talk about something else now, please."
Emily smiled as she and Paige walked into the mess hall hand in hand, Emily looked over and saw her friends waving at her, she left Paige for a second to grab their lunches whilst she went over to talk to her friends.
"Hey Em, are you coming to sit with us?" Aria asked as Emily approached them.
"I can't, I promised Paige we'd have a quiet lunch just the two of us. Where's Hanna and Caleb?"
"Spending some 'quality' time together in our room so I wouldn't go back there yet if I was you" Spencer replied grimacing, though she caught Toby's gaze and smirked.
"Okay well I'll see you guys later to help Aria pick an outfit for tonight," Emily said before smiling at her friends and walking back to Paige.
"So should we go and find a quiet place to eat?"
"Yeah. Anywhere but my room" Emily replied smiling, she linked arms with Paige and the two walked around until they found a quiet place to eat under a huge tree. They laid their jackets down and sat on them before they began eating.
"So how was your arts and crafts activity earlier?" Paige asked as she took a bite of her burger.
"It was good, although Jenna came in halfway through and had to sit next to me which was awkward. I didn't even realize she was here?!"
"I saw her earlier talking to Noel Kahn, I think they were arguing about something because she didn't look very happy."
"He's such a creep," Emily replied shivering slightly, Paige nodded in agreement before they started to eat in silence.
"Is my smile really the thing you love most about me?" Emily asked blushing slightly as she remembered the events at the campfire.
"Yes! Em, you're so beautiful without even realizing. I'm the luckiest person in the world to have you" Paige confessed putting her arm around Emily and placing a tender kiss on her cheek.
"But I come with so many complications, what with A" Emily said frowning at how easy it was for A to ruin their lives.
"It will all be over one day, I promise."
Emily groaned as she heard her phone go off, she silently prayed it wasn't A as she pulled it out.
Hanna: A box was left by our door with your name on it so I left it on your bed.
Emily felt a big weight lifting off her shoulders as she read the message.
"Who is it?"
"Just Hanna, apparently there's something waiting for me when I get back" Emily said, suddenly unsure of what it could be.
"Do you wanna go back and see what it is? Paige asked as she finished off the rest of her lunch, Emily nodded and the two walked back to Emily's room hand in hand. When they got there Emily knocked on the door just to be safe.
"Come in!" Hanna called from inside, when Emily opened the door she noticed Caleb and Hanna laying on the bed, fully dressed, cuddling.
"I'm gonna go and see if Abi's back from lunch yet" Paige said excusing herself and hurrying to her own room.
"What is it Em?" Hanna asked as she watched her friend open the box, Emily gasped when she picked up the back cream she had once used, the one A contaminated with Human Growth Hormone.
"Look!" Emily said dropping the cream on the floor in shock, her hands trembled as she picked up the note at the bottom of the box.
"Wouldn't want another stomach ulcer now would we Em? Keep Paige out of this before both of you get hurt, A" Emily read out shakily, Hanna and Caleb were immediately by her side to comfort her.
"Hey, it's okay Em. Just don't tell Paige about this and maybe A will just leave you alone?" Hanna suggested, trying to comfort her friend.
"It's never gonna be that simple!"
"It's okay Em, it's okay" Hanna said as Emily sobbed into her shoulder.
A few hours later all four girls were back in their room, Emily had finally calmed down and Aria was now confused as to what she should wear when meeting Jason later.
"So now you're all here, can you guys help me pick out something to wear later?" Aria asked nervously as she looked up from her book, Hanna immediately got down from the top bunk and sat next to Aria.
"Sure, pick out 2 outfits you like and we'll tell you which one to go for" Hanna said watching Aria get up and rummage through her suitcase. Spencer and Emily joined Hanna and waited for Aria to pick her outfits.
Eventually Aria narrowed it down to two and held them up for the girls: one was a blue and white striped skater dress and the other was a pair of denim wash shorts, a cream strappy crop top with a floral print kimono.
"So, which one do I go for?" Aria asked holding the clothes out for her friends.
"Second one," Spencer suggested, Hanna and Emily both nodded in agreement before getting up and going through Aria's suitcase. She pulled out a pair of peacock feather earrings and Aria's suade combat boots. "Wear it with these."
After the girls fussed over Aria doing her hair and makeup it was time for her to leave. She said her goodbyes to Hanna and Emily before she and Spencer walked out the door. Aria waited as Spencer opened the boys door and Toby soon emerged.
"Looking good Aria," Noel called as he caught a glance of Aria, Aria rolled her eyes and walked down to Jason's room with Spencer and Toby soon following. Aria knocked on the door and Jason opened it almost immediately.
"Hey" She said, her breath catching in her throat when he answered.
"Hey," He replied as he made eye contact with her. Spencer cleared her throat to let him know that she and Toby were stood there. He looked up and smirked "Please don't do anything in my bed, make sure you're out by 10 and lock up behind you."
Jason handed Spencer his spare key and watched as she and Toby entered his room with huge smiles on their faces.
"Enjoy your date!" Spencer called as she watched them walk down the hall before she shut the door.
Spencer turned the plug on for the tv and it sprang to life instantly. Spencer jumped onto the bed causing Toby to groan as she landed on top of him. She rolled off of him and he put her arm around her, holding her close and she searched the channels for something decent to watch.
"I'm so glad Jason agreed to this," Toby said as he nuzzled her neck.
"Me too. There's no place I'd rather be."
