Hey guys I did this as soon as I could so I could post it up. The entire thing is in a Lucas POV. Hope you enjoy it! :)


Lucas POV

Once Lucas was out of Hanna's sight, he scrambled up the stairs, into the bathroom and shut the door as fast as he could. He leaned against the door breathing heavily, trying to calm down. They had actually kind of flirted. That had just been too much and he just had to get away from her for a while or he just might have exploded. After staying in that position for a while, he realized that he actually did need to use to bathroom so he walked over to the toilet bowl, pulled down his pants and sat on the cushioned seat. After he was done his business, he went over to the sink and washed his hands but as he looked around for a hand towel, he couldn't find one. He noticed a white towel with the name Hanna embroidered in gold letters across it. Although he tried not to, he just couldn't resist going closer and examining it further. It really was a beautiful towel, just like her. He pulled it off of the towel rack and felt the soft material, savouring the fact that he was touching something that had been so close to her. Her towel. With his eyes closed, he brought it up to his nose and took a big sniff of it. The smell was intoxicating, it smelled just like her: the mixture of strawberry and vanilla with that special Hanna smell that he couldn't describe but it was the best smell in the world. He used it to dry his hands then he put it to his nose again, once more taking in the glorious smell. All of a sudden, he stopped and realized what he was doing. This was her towel and he was here smelling it and rubbing it all over himself as if it was a freaking perfume sample. This isn't right, he thought as he slowly put the towel back on the rack. I'm such a freak. He hurried out of the bathroom and back down the stairs into an empty study room

The thought hit him like a slap. She had ditched him. She had realized what a loser he was and ditched him. "Hanna?" he called out her name and breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that special voice, the voice that he would recognize anywhere, the voice that was music to his ears shout out, "I'm in the kitchen!" Glad that she hadn't ditched him after all, Lucas strolled into the kitchen to see Hanna standing by an open refrigerator, looking for something to eat. He stopped for a few seconds to admire how she could wear something so simple and yet still look so stunning. She must've noticed because a smug smile appeared on her face as she took out a jug of water and closed the refrigerator door. Still smiling, she poured out two glasses of water, one for her and one for Lucas. They sat on the bar stools near the counter and quietly sipped their water.

Lucas stole a glance at Hanna and noticed that she looked deep in thought about something. "You okay?" he asked her. Hanna looked like she had just been woken up, "Huh? Oh.. Um, I, uh.. Yeah, I'm fine," she answered quickly. She was a terrible liar. Lucas shot her a questioning look but she just shrugged and looked away, suddenly becoming really interested in her glass of water. "So do you wanna study or what?" Lucas asked because they were obviously not studying and seeing as how that's what he had come to do, he wondered if his purpose had been served and if Hanna expected him to leave. Hanna just shook her head no and said, "No thanks, I've changed my mind. I realized I don't really care about whether or not I know the work."

Lucas took this as a signal to leave so he finished his glass of water, put it in the sink and headed to pack up his bag. The blonde just looked confused. "Where are you going?"

"You said you were done studying," he shrugged

"That doesn't mean you have to go…" Hanna laughed as if it were obvious, "we're friends Lucas, you can just stay here and chill. It's not like I only wanted you to come study just so I could learn, I wanted to spend some time with you and hang out. We having done that in a while"

"Oh." Lucas felt foolish for assuming that Hanna only wanted him to help with studying when she had just wanted to hang out with him but he also felt flattered. She wanted to spend time with him and she had called him a friend. The queen bee of the school was his friend; the most beautiful girl in the universe was his friend; the girl he fantasized about all the time was his friend. He awkwardly put down his bag and went to sit on the chair next to Hanna again.

"You wanna watch a movie?" Hanna suggested and Lucas just shrugged. Hanna took that as a yes and got up and headed towards the TV, pulling out three DVDs and holding them up for Lucas. Lucas grimaced- they were all chick flicks- but Hanna just rolled her eyes and put two down, keeping one in her hand. After putting it in the DVD player, she plopped down on the couch and motioned for Lucas to do so too but when he did, she sprang up off of the couch. Lucas sprang up too, thinking that someone was wrong but she just giggled at his reaction and said, "Woops… Forgot about popcorn." Lucas tried to process everything that was happening because it all seemed so surreal. Just a few days ago, he had been shouting at Hanna and calling her ex-best friend a bitch and saying he never wanted to talk to her again and now he was here in her living room, about to watch a movie and acting as is all of that never happened. It was really weird but in a good way… like chocolate covered bananas.

Lucas was so deep in thought that when Hanna plopped down on the couch next to him with a bowl of popcorn in her hand, he jumped and let out a tiny scream. "Wow, you're jumpy," Hanna snickered.

"You just scared me…" Lucas felt like a baby and not the cute ones- the kinds that always cried and got scared for everything. They were watching "The Notebook" and Lucas couldn't help but notice that they were watching a romance movie on a couch next to each other, eating popcorn- the kind of thing that couples do- and he was loving every second of it. He took a huge gulp of his orange soda which he didn't get to drink much- his mom wasn't one for carbonated beverages- and before he could stop it, let out a huge burp. He froze and Hanna's eyes opened wide but then the corner of her mouth twitched and she burst into giggles and Lucas, seeing Hanna laughing and thinking it was the cutest thing ever, started giggling too and before they knew it, they were rolling all over the couch laughing, not paying any attention to the movie whatsoever. Eventually, they calmed down with tears in their eyes and their sides hurting. It took Lucas a few seconds to realize that he was half-lying down on the couch with his head on Hanna's lap. He quickly got up and cleared his throat, expecting Hanna to complain about his head being on her lap but when he looked at her, she was wiping her eyes and grinning and he didn't know what came over him because the words surprised him when they came out of his mouth but he looked her in the eye and said, "I have something to tell you." Hanna looked back at him and replied, "Yeah?" and he decided that he would just say it was nothing or say his sides hurt or something stupid like that but instead of those words coming out of his mouth, for some reason unknown to him, he just started blurting out his feelings. "Hanna, I've known that I like you for a while- and so have you- but now I don't know…" he noticed the mixture of hurt and confusion on Hanna's face and realized that it must have sounded as if he was saying that he didn't like her anymore so he took her hand and quickly continued, "I… I think I love you…" she opened her mouth to say something but he continued, "I thought it was just a stupid crush and it would go away… I thought it was just some stupid cliché thing where the geek likes the popular who is a bitch and would never like him back. Not that you're a bitch but that's just the cliché," he quickly added when he saw the offended look on Hanna's face, "But you're different… I couldn't believe that you forgave me but you did and that's when I realized how amazing and wonderful you were and how no matter how hard I tried, this wasn't going to go away… Whenever you touch me I feel like electricity is going into my veins and into my deoxygenated blood cells and heading to my heart."

"You're such a dork," Hanna teased, trying to lighten up the mood, "Only you could be so specific with all the deoxygenated blood and stuff" It didn't work. Lucas ignored her comment and stared into her eyes and slowly started to lean forward to kiss her but Hanna turned her cheek. "I already told you, Lucas, I care so much about you and I would never want to hurt you cause you're my friend but my feelings don't go further than that and plus, I have a boyfriend."

"But Sean's a tool!"

"No he isn't, Lucas," Hanna defended her boyfriend.

"Yes he is, Hanna. I've seen you two together and you make a cute couple but you don't love him. Do you, Hanna?"

"I think it would be best if you left, Lucas," the blonde switched off the movie and got up off the couch. Lucas turned away so she wouldn't see the tears that were forming in his eyes from her rejection. How could he have been so stupid? Of course the little bit of flirting hadn't mattered, of course the laughing fit was just, well, a laughing fit, nothing to it. How could he have gotten his hopes up that Hanna might actually feel the same way about him as he did about her? He gathered up his things and left without saying bye and as he headed towards his car, he broke down. Sobbing like a baby, he got into his car and started it up but didn't drive; he couldn't see properly through all of his tears so he just sat there, in the driveway of Hanna's house, sobbing wildly in his car. When the tears finally stopped for a while, he started to drive but he didn't know where to go. His mom would ask what was wrong and he just didn't feel like explaining but he also just didn't want to go home. He finally decided that he would just sneak into his house, grab a few stuff and head to the library which, luckily, stayed open all night.

When he went inside of his house, it was dark and he realized that his mom was most likely asleep so he went upstairs, grabbed his two folders, stuffed them into his bag and headed back out. When he reached the library, he took his homework out of one of the folders and sat there doing it when he noticed a familiar face pass by the table. "Jenna!" he called out to the girl and she stopped. "Lucas?" she asked and Lucas nodded but then remembered that she couldn't see him and said, "Yes." Jenna headed his way and felt for a chair and sat on it. "Did you bring it?" she asked in a near whisper so no one else could hear her except for him. "Yes," he replied in a voice just as soft and pulled out the second folder he had brought with him and handed it to her. She smiled with satisfaction and got up. "Nice doing business with you," she told him before walking off, clutching the folder as if her life depended on it.
