Disclaimer: I don't own anything! (Okay, I technically own Lina and Dante, but I would sell them in a heartbeat. & yeah I know that's mean.)

Hanna stared down at her book and the worksheet in front of her. None of it was making any sense. She'd read the same sentence at least five times and it was still like gibberish to her. Her mind was too focused on how Lina was treating her, what Caleb thought of her, and what A was commanding of her. As soon as Hanna could get behind her locked bedroom door she was going to let out a frustrated scream so loud that it would break the windows. By the time the bell rang, Hanna still didn't have one question answered. She stuffed the paper in her book and followed Emily out of the classroom.

After a quick stop at their lockers, Hanna and Emily met Aria and Spencer in the cafeteria. Hanna tossed her purse at her feet and sat down with a frustrated sigh. The other girls looked at her expectantly.

"So about you and Lina-" Spencer started.

"Speak of the devil." Hanna muttered, her eyes on the doorway as Lina made her way into the lunchroom, and as an extra shock, Mona was at her side.

"What's Mona doing with her?" Aria asked.

"They probably realized they have the same amount of letters in their name and bonded." Hanna was surprised at her own bitter remark.

The ping that sounded from Caleb's jacket pocket made Hanna's heart drop. Could she get any more messages today? Hanna opened the message and had to read it at least five times to make sure it was real.

I really hate that Lina bitch. She's a distraction from your duties. Speaking of duties: go to the journalism room and ask for the copy of your 5th grade yearbook. Oh, and don't forget to take your Heartbreaker with you. That's an order. –A

"Hey, where's Caleb?" Hanna looked around and shoved her phone in her purse. "Never mind. I'll find him."

Hanna tossed her purse on her shoulder and stood, bumping into Caleb as he stepped up next to the table. "Oh hey, I was just going to find you."

"I was looking for you too." He answered.

Out of her peripheral view, Hanna could see that Lina was headed straight for them. "Cool, so come on. Let's get out of here."

Okay so that line could've been taken sexual or flirtatious, especially since she grabbed his arm and practically dragged out of the cafeteria, but it was the quickest solution to dealing with the problems Lina would cause. Caleb didn't seem to mind either, as evident by his laughing.

"Not that I'm complaining, but what has you dragging me out to the hall and away from the public eye?" He asked with a single eyebrow raised.

And just like that he had her. Her worries weren't in the front of her mind and she was comfortable once again. If she wasn't currently on a mission from A, she most certainly would've frenched Caleb where they stood. But as soon as she thought of it, her mind started thinking about other things. Would that cement their relationship like it would've earlier? Was she ready for their relationship to become more serious? So many other questions began to follow, but as she looked up into his smiling brown eyes, she realized that didn't matter for the moment. For now, they were just Hanna and Caleb. Friends that had the hots for each other. Friends that indulged in unabashed flirting. And friends that could enjoy those points without letting it complicate things. Unless of course one happened to jump in the shower while the other was naked and all sexy and soaking wet or if one snuck a that relationship talk into their repartee, but that wouldn't happen this time. Especially not the shower part.

"I just wanted you all to myself." Hanna smirked.

"Really?" He let the smirk of his own take over.

"Yeah, the thought of sharing you was just too much." She quipped.

Caleb laughed and shook his head. "So where are you taking me?"

"Uh . . . journalism." She answered as though it was somewhere they went together everyday.

"Um . . . why? That's not really a romantic place to hide me away in." He looked on her in confusion.

"Yeah, well . . . I have to check on something and I could enjoy the company of a strong man accompanying me." She replied just before turning down the hall that lead to the journalism room.

"Why? Are pirates going to be attacking you?" He quizzed.

Hanna smiled and shook her head. "Well there is a mutiny going on in this ship, so I wouldn't put it past them."

Caleb furrowed his brows in question and quietly mused over what she had said.

Hanna glanced at him and let out a small laugh at his thoughtful expression and knocked on the open door to the journalism room before looking inside. Then she froze. Lucas. That was why A had wanted her to bring Caleb along.

"Uh . . . Lucas." Hanna started, not daring to look at the floor.

"Hanna." It wasn't so much of a greeting as an acknowledgement of existence.

"Um . . . you wouldn't happen to have a copy of our 5th grade yearbook in here that I could borrow, would you?" Hanna asked with a nervous smile. "I know that was way back in elementary school, but I figured-"

"We have one copy of it, but you'll need to bring it back by the end of sixth period." Lucas shuffled over to a bookcase and selected a blue hardback book from the top shelf.

"Of course." Hanna glanced to Caleb to see if he caught the awkwardness of the situation.

Caleb, however, was relaxed enough to lean against the doorway and openly stare at Hanna's smooth bare legs. He certainly wasn't helping the circumstances any.

"Thanks." Hanna took the book and motioned for Caleb that they were ready to leave.

"You know Hanna," Lucas started and she paused. "I never would've said it or thought it before, but you're like the new Alison. Especially in light of recent events."

The comment vaguely reminded Hanna of the upset and drunken Lucas at Mona's welcome home/get well party. If she didn't have more self-control she might've snapped at him, but currently she had more pressing matters at hand. Hanna shook her hair off her shoulder and continued walking, avoiding the curious gaze that Caleb directed her way.

Not that far down the hall, Hanna's bag let out faint ping. She closed her eyes, threw her head back, and let out an annoyed grumble. She held the yearbook out to Caleb while she slid her purse off her shoulder. "Can you hold this really quick?"

"Sure. What's going on?" He took the book and watched her dig through her purse.

"Uh . . . nothing. I'm just stressed. That's all." Hanna finally wrapped her hand around the phone and opened the new message.

You are kind of like Alison. You should be careful or you might have the same fate. But then again, Ali never would've let Lina push her around. –A

P.S. Your not-boyfriend comes in real handy, and wearing his jacket gives it that extra special touch that gets you bonus points.

Hanna frowned at A's dig at her weaknesses and threw the phone back in her purse. When she met Caleb's eyes, she quickly forced a smile but it was too late. He had already seen her reaction. He decided not to push forward though; he didn't think he could handle her shutting him out again. Caleb just had to trust her to open up to him when she was ready. That wouldn't be easy, but she was worth it.

"Can I see it now?" Hanna gestured to the yearbook he held at his side.

"Yeah. What are you looking for anyways?" He held it up so she could take it.

"I'm not exactly sure." Her eyes were on the pages as she flipped through the book. When she saw a flash of red, she stopped and turned back until she came to the page with a bright red circle drawn around a black and white picture. Hanna paled at what she saw. Well who she saw. A younger, heavier version of herself and a younger, geekier version of LINA.

A/N: Bet you didn't see that coming, did you? Oh yeah! Well honestly, I laid clues down throughout the story in previous chapters. Like when Lina told the girls it was nice to meet them when she never actually asked anything about them, their names included. And then later how she knew Aria's name and that her mom was her teacher. The next chapter will go more in detail about this discovery, but I bet you'll have a ton of questions concerning this anyways. If you do have any questions, send them to me via PM or in the reviews and I'll try to make sure they get answered in the next chapter or later in the story. Thanks again to everyone for all their reviews and another special thanks to Tami, my Australian Twin. (I can just imagine the email you're going to be sending to me now! Lol! "WTF? You couldn't let me in on that?" Lol!) I can't wait to read all of your reactions and make your speculations about what went on concerning that pic and our favorite blonde Liar and our least favorite bitch. (She doesn't even get a capitalized letter.) Lol. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll try to update ASAP.
