I do not own Pretty Little Liars.

Chapter 4 - Secret

"What did Caleb do to you?" Mona asked, curiously. The two were seated in Mona's car, parked behind the school where nobody could find them.

"We broke up," she said simply. "He was accepting. He understood, but we still broke up."

"You don't sound or look upset."

Hanna smiled thinly. "Well it gives me a chance to figure out if I'm gay."

"You're still not sure?" She asked, leaning closer to her.

"Nope, but I was wondering if you could help me." She smiled as Mona captured her lips in a quick kiss. "We should get to school."

"I'll see you tonight?"

"Can't. I have a sleep over with the girls."

"Saturday night?"

Hanna smiled. "Works for me." She took a look outside the window before pecking her lips quickly. She wanted to make sure nobody was around.

"I'll see you later?" She asked, innocently.

She nodded. "I'll see you later." She smiled, quietly exiting the car and heading towards the front of the building.


"Hey, Hanna." Emily waved at her.

"Hi, Em!" She smiled at her, which gave Emily the butterflies.

"Did Spencer tell you about tonight?"

"She told me last night."

"And?" Hanna looked at her, confused. "Are you coming?"

"Oh! Yeah, of course!" She answered, her confusion being wiped away and replaced with a small blush. "I'll even bring the popcorn."

"Morning, guys!" Aria cheered, a little too happy. The two girls looked at her, funnily. "It's Friday and I'm happy. Like really happy."

Spencer also walked over, in time to hear Aria's input to the conversation. She, too, gave her the look. "Did Fitz give you a lollipop?"

Aria glared at her, while the other two girls giggled quietly to themselves. That was when Alison arrived. "What's so funny?"

"Aria's a happy munchkin." Hanna laughed, causing Aria to divert her glare towards her. "Or was a happy munchkin."

"Have you been drinking too much caffeine?" Ali asked, curiously. "You're eye is twitching of happiness."

"Yeah, you look like a strung out power puff girl." Hanna added.

"No, I'm really happy." Aria argued. "And I may have had a few cups of coffee."

"So you had a Spencer cup of coffee?" Emily joked.

"Yeah. Why can't you guys be happy that I'm happy?"

"We are happy that you're happy." Emily said. "But happy at eight in the morning is a little scary. I get that it's Friday, but we still have school and it's still only eight in the morning."

"So what's up, munchkin?" Hanna asked.

"Well, I got one of my problems pushed aside."

"Oh, so Fitz did give you his lollipop?" Spencer asked.

"Okay, ew. Please don't say it like that."

"So he did?" Alison confirmed.

"Yeah." She mumbled, almost so quietly that the other girls couldn't hear her. "I have to go to class." She said, rushing towards chemistry.

"Yeah, me too. Ali, come with me?" Spencer asked. Alison smiled and linked arms with her.

"Sure thing, Spence." She answered as they strolled towards their math class first period.

"So what's up, Ali?"

"Nothing much really. What about you?" She asked. "How'd it go with Hanna yesterday?"

"Good. She caught up with some stuff pretty quickly, but she was still confused with a lot of the material."

"Well, that's our Hanna." Ali laughed, along with Spencer who giggled nervously. Although, it went unnoticed.


"Hanna, are you okay?" Emily asked.

"Huh?" Hanna was looking at Mona who was talking to a few of her friends. "Uh, yeah I'm fine."

"Who are you looking at?" Emily turned her head and caught Caleb, who was talking to another girl. "You know Caleb loves you."

"We broke up yesterday."

Emily widened her eyes. "Wait, why?"

"We weren't working." She shrugged. "Hey, Em?"

"I'm still here, Han."

"Well yeah, but, um," She tried to form words. "How did you find out you were gay?"

Emily looked at her. "What's up with all these questions? Regarding my sexuality."

"I'm curious. I was watching a movie and it was hard to understand."

"Which movie?"

"You know the one-"

"No, I don't know the one."

Hanna sighed. "Okay, I'm doing a project about it for biology."

Emily gave her a pointed look. "We're in the same biology class, Hanna. We're learning about ecology."

"Ecology in a biology class?" Hanna asked. "That doesn't even make sense."

The taller girl chuckled slightly. "What's the real reason you're asking?"

"I don't know. I was always curious. Maybe it can help me figure out if I am too."

"Did Caleb hurt you?"

"No, I broke up with him."

"Why?" In all honestly, Emily is glad they broke up. She only felt happy for a second before she realized how incredibly mean that sounded.

"Come on, Em. You're smarter than this." Emily looked at her. "I'm questioning my sexuality."

"Is this because of Aaron Aguirre?" She asked. "Just because you now have a gaydar-"

"What's a gaydar? And where do I get one?"

"It's like a sixth sense to figure out if someone is gay or not."

"I think I might have one."

"I know, but a gaydar doesn't scream I'm gay. It only means you can tell if someone is gay or not."

"Cool, but I think I am."

"What makes you think that?"

"What's it like to have sex with a girl?"

Emily looked at her, blushing madly. "Um-"

"Never mind. Don't answer that. I wanna figure that out on my own."

"With who?" Emily asked.

"I don't know." Hanna lied. She gave Emily a quick wink. "Maybe you could help me."

Emily widened her eyes, gulping. "Ha-"

"I'm joking. Chill out, Em." Hanna laughed. "Sorry if it made you uncomfortable. Walk with me to class?"

"Yeah, sure. Let's go."


"Hey, are you okay?" Spencer asked. The two were seated in the cafeteria. Spencer turned to look at who Hanna was staring at. "Are you still seeing her?"

Hanna turned back to Spencer. "No. She ruined my relationship."

"Then why are you looking at her like you want to rip her clothes off?" Spencer chuckled.

"I don't. I wanted to thank her. I know now."

Spencer looked at her. "Just because you kiss a girl does not make you-"

"Then what does?" Hanna snapped. "Sorry. Emily keeps asking me questions trying to make sure if I am or not. And apparently a gaydar doesn't even make you gay."

"Why do you want to-"

"I don't know! It's like there's something out there calling out to me."

Spencer had to laugh at this. "Something calling out to you?" She laughed a little bit harder. "Hey Hanna! Guess what? You need to be-"

"This is not funny, Spencer!" Hanna laughed a little too. "I'm trying to be serious."

"Hanna Marin, you are destined to be-" She didn't finish her sentence as the two began laughing to themselves.

"You know, I'm trying to be like Santana from Glee. I'm figuring out if I am gay."

"She figured that out because she fell in love with a Brittany." Spencer said, serious again. "Is there someone special in your life?"

"Mhm." Spencer gave her a questioning look. "I don't kiss and tell."

"Is it Mona?" There was a split second when Spencer wanted to be Hanna's special someone. "And technically you did kiss and tell. You told me."

"She's not my special someone." She lied easily. "But can we still keep it a secret?"

"Emily knows-"

"She doesn't know about my kiss with Mona."

Spencer sighed. "Okay."

"I can't wait for the sleep over tonight. I think we all need to take a break."

"Yeah." Spencer blinked. "I can't wait."

"Wait for what?" Emily asked, sitting down next to Hanna.

"The sleep over." Hanna answered. "What movie are we watching?"

"Watching what?" Alison asked, sitting down next to Spencer.

"Where's Aria?" Spencer asked. "And the movie for the sleep over."

"How about a comedy?" Ali asked. "Scary movie 5?"

"No!" Hanna immediately protested.

"It's not even a scary movie, Han." Emily laughed. "It's a comedy."

"I don't care. It literally has scary in the title."

"It's not that bad." Spencer assured. "I seen the trailer. I'm sure you'll get a laugh out of it."

"And it's not scary like The Ring or Zombie land." Alison added.

"Can't we watch The Notebook?"

"Han, we always watch that." Aria laughed. "The movie won't be that bad."

"Fine," she huffed. "but can we still watch The Notebook after?"

Emily smiled at her. "Okay." Hanna squeaked in glee, giving Emily a big hug.

"This is why you're my favorite."

"I thought I was your favorite." Spencer pouted. "Where's my hug?" She joked. Hanna rolled her eyes along with Emily, Aria, and Alison. She reached over and gave her a tight squeeze.

"You two are both my favorites."

Aria looked at her. "What about me?"

"I love you too, Munchkin." Aria smiled and opened her arms. The blond laughed and encased her in a hug too. That is when Alison gave her the puppy dog face.

"Love you too, Ali Bear." Alison laughed.

"Please don't call me that ever again." Hanna gave her a pouty face. "Alright, fine. Just not when other people are around." The five laughed.

When the laughter died down, Emily asked Spencer. "So did you make up with Toby yet?" Spencer thought about it for a little bit. Toby?

Toby! We have a date tonight! Shit! Spencer looked at Hanna and couldn't tell her she had to cancel the sleep over. She looked excited and didn't want to ruin that by saying she had a date with Toby. "Um, yeah! We're good."

"You were fighting with Toby?" Aria asked. "Since when?"

"You didn't know about Spencer and Toby?" Hanna asked. "You're slow, little munchkin."

"Why am I always the last to find out?"

"It wasn't a big deal anyways, Ar." Spencer told her.

"Besides, you had Fitz and Meredith to deal with." Alison said.
