HANNA'S P. O. V
On Wednesday morning, breakfast was one of the most uncomfortable times for
Aria; because of Ronaldo. But it's just confusing why she wouldn't just date him in
secret. Okay fine. I understand, 'A' will still somehow find out about them dating.
After breakfast which was even awkward for the rest of us, Spencer quickly
zoomed to gym class while I went to Tiffany's. Yes Tiffany's. I dressed up into a
mini jean skirt with a pink cotton tank top. I put my hair into a messy bun and
wore black flip flops. With almost no makeup which means mascara and lipgloss, I
scurried up to the 5th floor using the stairs because the elevators were just on the
upper decks. Once I reached the 5th floor, I was on my way to Tiffany's when I
spotted Coach.
"I just got to shop there." I whispered to myself as I noticed the perfect bags.
I stopped right in front of the store and looked to my left which made me see
Tiffany's. I couldn't figure out which one I should look into first, so I just went to
Tiffany's. As I carried myself up to the heavenly store 'What Makes You Beautiful'
by One Direction just shot up inside my ears. That band just budded into
everything! The smell of the sweetness of girls' perfume went into my magical
and beautiful nose. I don't know why, but I enjoy complimenting myself.
I spotted beautiful diamond necklaces and rings everywhere! I reached my hand
out to the hard glass that shined below the chandeliers. Behind the glass, there it
was: the perfect gift to myself. It was a locket shaped like a girl. But not just any
girl, it looked like a mix between Alison and me. It just looked special and meant
to be bought. It had a few tiny diamonds about 2 mm in length each.
"Would you like to purchase anything?" called out a work woman behind me.
"Oh yes please." I said as I turned around.
The woman was in her late 40's and one of the first things that I had noticed was
that her ears were all pierced and stabbed with earrings. She shifted behind the
glass and asked,
"Which one?"
"The locket shaped like a girl." I answered while pointing to it.
She took it out carefully and placed it onto a piece of stuffing.
"How much for it?" I asked.
"Um, the diamond lockets are all from $200 to $400." she replied.
"How much for this specific one?" I asked.
"It is I believe $310." she answered.
"I will take it!" I barked without thinking.
"Great." she said with a smile.
She placed it into a delicate blue container and wrapped it around with a violet
ribbon. I gave her $310 and headed towards the outside of the store.
But before I got out, I spotted a very hot guy with shaggy blond hair that was
messed up all across his head. I can already spot his deep blue eyes and careful
thinking. He wore a white sleeveless V-neck with blue Bermuda shorts paired up
with dark green flip flops. He was in the ring section probably looking for a sexy
ring for himself. I seek for hot guys who wear silver rings around their thumbs or
pinkies. He had one silver ring on his thumb which I take very sexy.
I decided that I would accidently bump into him and introduce myself.
I headed towards the ring section and faced the sunglasses beside him.
As I turned around very unsteady, I squeezed my eyes shut and woke up on
top of him.
"Oh I am so sorry." I called out as I stood up.
"It's okay-" he said while reaching up.
"My name's Christian."
"Hanna Marin." I said with a smile.
"I should go purchase the ring. Have a nice cruise!" he said.
"Alright, bye!" I replied and made my way to Coach.
Bummer, I wanted to get closer to him. Christian, that's a hot name.
-10 minutes later-
After standing in line to purchase my leather purse, I noticed Christian
stepping into Coach. I groaned in hotness alert and just stared at his walk.
He smiled as he saw the men section and I noticed he had dimples like me.
His hair blew in the air conditioning and I just gasped slightly along with my
silly eye twitching. He waved in my direction and I smiled and waved back.
When I realized he was making his way towards me I got really nervous.
"Hanna, would you like to go on a ship walk with me after lunch?" he asked.
"I-I would love to." I stammered.
"Great. Meet you on the 6th floor next to one of the balconies." he replied.
I smiled and nodded. I have a date with Christian! He walked towards the men
section and I continued listening to 'Take Care' by Rihanna and Drake in the store.
"Miss, miss!" called out a voice.
I realized that I was in the line for purchasing my leather purse and the clerk was
yelling at me to put the purse out to buy.
"Oh I am so sorry." I said.
I placed the leather purse onto the counter and purchased it quickly and happily.
I made my way out of the fabulous Coach store and headed towards Booster
Juice to buy a berry smoothie. But as I was making my way there, I noticed
Aria walking around beside the stores looking inside.
"Hey Aria!" I called out.
"There you are!" she said and walked up to me.
"Why were you looking for me?" I asked suspiciously.
"Spencer didn't come back yet from gym class!" she replied.
I pulled my phone out and saw that it was 1:20 p.m.
"Don't worry. How long have you been looking for me?" I asked.
"For about 15 minutes." she answered.
"That was only 1:05. Spencer is probably in the suite already." I said.
"You're right. Have fun!" she said and scurried away.
"Wait! Isn't lunch in like 10 minutes?" I asked her.
"Oh my god; it is!" she said and ran to the elevator.
I ran behind her and made it just in time for the elevator before it closed.
-1 hour later-
After having a quick lunch, I made my way out of the restaurant and to the
balconies. What if he doesn't show up? Once I reached the balconies, I noticed
a guy with the same messy blond hair standing out on the balcony. His back was
facing me. He was wearing the same shorts and flip flops except he was now
wearing a long sleeve shirt that was a pearl white color.
"Hey Christian." I yelled out and walked up to him.
He turned around and his stern face turned into a smile with cute dimples.
"Oh hey Hanna." he replied gracefully.
"So what's up?"
"Nothing, very full from all the food." I answered with a giggle.
"You?"
"Oh nothing really. Where are you from?" he asked.
"I am from Rosewood, Pennsylvania. You?" I asked suspiciously.
"I am from Brookhaven but I live in Miami." he said.
"Oh really? Why did you travel all the way from Miami?" I asked him.
"I don't know actually. I guess because it was the perfect time to take a rest." he
answered.
"From what?" I asked.
"I am a professional surfer. I compete in Miami and that's the only reason I moved
with my family there. But I like to visit my old friends and grandparents in
Brookhaven." he answered.
That's so sweet. So he makes up time to see his loved ones?
"That's nice." I barked out.
"Are you alone on this cruise?" he asked.
"No, my birthday is coming up in a month and my mom bought 4 tickets as an
early birthday present. I came here with my best friends." I told him.
"Oh, you're lucky to have true friends. I came here by myself." he stated.
"Oh but wouldn't you think that would be kind of boring?" I asked.
"No not really." he clarified.
The wind gushed at us and my mini skirt blew up. I forgot that I was wearing
thongs today and that made a huge embarrassment. But his shirt was a bit
big so it flew up too to reveal his 12-pack.
"Wow." I whispered.
"What?" he asked pretending to not see that his abs were just there.
"Um nothing." I said quietly.
I also caught him looking at my mini skirt, he probably saw my ass.
"Do you have any siblings?" he asked trying to cover up just what had happened.
"No but I have a future to be stepsister. You?" I asked him.
"I have an older brother that ran away from the house as soon as mum made an
announcement about moving to Miami. Which was about 4 years ago." he
murmured.
"Oh you haven't seen your brother since then?" I asked.
"No I haven't. But I am pretty sure that he hates me." he replied.
"He doesn't hate you; I bet that he's just jealous that you are a pro now." I said.
"Yeah well, I don't know where he is. I don't know whether he's alive or not." he
said with a frown.
That story kind of reminded me of Ali.
"Last summer changed my life pretty quickly too." I started.
"How?" he asked.
"Well my best friend Alison, had disappeared the night we had a sleepover at
a barn located in the woods. Then a little less than 2 months ago, her body
was found and since then I knew that my best friend wasn't with me anymore."
I told him.
"How did she die?" he asked.
"Murder; the police are still trying to investigate her death." I replied.
"I believe that she was buried alive."
"Wow, that's just scary." he said.
"Yeah, we were close." I told him.
"Her nickname was Miss. Popularity in school. For some people she was known as
Queen of Bitches." I laughed.
"I think I may have heard about a girl's disappearance." said Christian.
"Oh yeah well, that just might have been Alison-" I told him.
"DiLaurentis."
"When are we going to arrive in Greece?" he asked.
"I am pretty sure on Friday morning." I answered.
"Oh that's in 2 days." he said with a smile.
"Yeah." I said.
"I should be going now. My best friends are probably waiting for me."
"Of course, want to meet up tomorrow?" he asked.
"Sure same place same time?" I asked.
He nodded as I waved goodbye. After returning to the suite, I found Spencer and
Aria talking in the kitchen over a cup of tea and coffee.
"How was Mr. Loveboy?" asked Spencer with a smile.
"Shut up Spence." I giggled.
"Oh c'mon Hanna, he must be cute." stated Aria.
"He is very cute." I told them.
"But he didn't even hug me when I left; I think he wants to be just-"
"Friends." I continued as I caught my breath after holding it in.
"Aw that's bad." said Aria.
"So Spencer, who was your coach today?" I asked.
"It was the girl coach; Coach Lauren." said Spencer.
"Too bad." I said.
"I got an email by the way from all of our boyfriends or girlfriends in Emily's case."
said Spencer.
"Really, can I see the one Caleb wrote?" I asked.
"Of course." replied Spencer and slid her laptop across the table.
I sat down and opened it as I went through our Hotmail account.
We decided that we would make one account for all of us to share. From: Caleb
Rivers123. I clicked on that one and it said:
Hey babe, are you enjoying your cruise? Make sure to take pics of your
destinations. If you don't someone's going to get mad. Love you, Caleb.
I wrote back:
Hey hunny, I miss you so much! Of course I will take some pics, don't even worry.
I love you even more than Christian! Sincerely, loveable Hanna.
Oh my god! Did I actually write more than Christian? I quickly erased and sent it.
I cleared my throat and looked up at Spencer and Aria.
"What?" I asked because they were staring at me.
"Nothing, you were reading your letter out loud. You did notice that you wrote
another guy's name right?" asked Aria.
"Yeah I did notice; I erased it." I answered.
I stood up and went inside my washroom. I looked at my reflection in the mirror.
My eyes were sparkling in it but my mouth was a frown. I still couldn't
understand the thing about liking Christian and Caleb. Do I like guys with 'C' as
their first letter? Weird. I let out a sigh and brushed my hair which was really
messed up after the wind and stuff. I put it up into a bun and took my mini skirt
off along with my tank top. I noticed the beige stretch marks around my waist
because of my obesity last summer and beyond.
"Thank you Ali." I whispered.
I took my thongs off and my bra and headed inside the shower. I really need some
time for myself. I turned the shower head on and the cold water made me
trapped at the corner which always happens to me. After feeling that the water
warmed up, I took a long shower with sweet pea shower gel and TreSemme
shampoo.
"Hanna you alive in there?" asked Aria with a knock.
"Yeah I am!" I answered.
After making sure I was nice and fresh, I took my Minnie Mouse bathe towel
and wrapped it around myself. I walked out of the washroom, having my hair
dripping everywhere. Alas, I can breathe! The humidity in the washroom was
giving me a hard time.
"Wow, I am sorry." said Aria who walked in and covered her eyes.
"Oh don't worry, I wasn't going to take it off." I giggled.
She nodded and took one of my M magazines and scurried out of the room.
I walked back inside the washroom and dried my hair with some blowing
and changed into sweats. Back in the kitchen, Emily came back smelling like
chlorine again which made Aria cover up her nose in order to focus on reading.
"Enjoyed your swim?" I asked.
"Yes, enjoyed your shopping?" asked Emily.
"No shit Sherlock." I called out.
"LOL, you don't have to swear." said Emily in a girly voice.
I smiled and sat down on one of the kitchen chairs.
"So when's dinner?" asked Spencer who walked inside out of the living room.
I looked at my phone and said,
"In 45 minutes."
"Thanks." she said while swapping her laptop with one of her Percy Jackson & The
Olympians books.
As dinner passed by today, I went to sleep thinking about Christian and Caleb.
Will I disobey and upset Caleb if I date Christian in the next 2 weeks?
