Chapter 1

Emma Geller was a senior in high school. She was very popular. She spent most of her time with her boyfriend of three years. Matthew was hot, sexy and popular. All the girls wanted him but Emma had him. Her cousin Hannah Bing was a year younger than her, she was a junior. Hannah wasn't as popular but she sometimes hung out with Emma and Matthew.



Emma walked in from school. "Mom I'm home" she called out. Rachel came into the living room. "Hey sweeite how was your day" she asked "Same as always" Emma replied. "I have to go get ready I'm going out with Matthew and Hannah tonight." She added as she headed to her room. "Umm sweeite did you forget that tonight was your dad's awards dinner" Rachel asked her. "Aww mom, dad's stuff is always so boring" she whined. Rachel smiled "I know but you know how much it means to him to have us there" she said. "Fine I'll go but I won't like it" Emma whined as she went to her room. She picked up the phone and dialed Hannah's number.



Chandler grabbed the ringing phone. "Hello" he said. "Hi Uncle Chandler is Hannah there" Emma asked. Chandler smiled "Hey Emma hold on I'll get her" He walked to his daughters 's room "Hannah honey the phone's for you" he told her. "Okay thanks dad" she replied. Hannah picked up the phone. "Hello" she said. "Hey Hannah its Emma I got bad news I can't go out tonight I have to go to my dad's boring awards thing" she told her. Hannah laughed. "Uncle Ross is so boring" she replied. "Try being his daughter!" Emma giggled. "Look why don't you and Matthew go to the carnival together" she suggested. Hannah smiled "Are you sure you'd be okay with that" she asked. "Sure its cool have fun" Emma said. "Yeah you too" Hannah giggled. "Ha ha" Emma said as she hung up.




Some time later Hannah and Matthew were walking toward her apartment building. They now stood outside her door. "I...I had fun tonight" Hannah said. "Me too" Matthew said with a smile. "Thanks for winning me the teddy bear" she whispered. Matthew nodded. They stood there staring at each other for several minutes before their lips met in an incredible kiss. Once the kiss ended neither one of them knew what to say so they said goodnight and Hannah slipped inside her apartment.


Someone was talking to her but she was too busy thinking about Matthew and the kiss. "Hello earth to Hannah" Monica said waving her hand in front of her daughter's face. "Oh hey mom" Hannah said. "Did you say something" she asked. "I just asked if you had fun tonight" Monica answered. "Oh yeah I...I did" Hannah replied. "I'm gonna go get ready for bed now" she said "Night mom" she added as she hurried to her room. She flopped down on her bed and smiled as she thought about Matthew and that incredible kiss. The sound of the phone ringing startled her. She picked up. "Hello" she said. "Oh hey Matthew!" she said smiling. "Tomorrow night, nothing why" she said. "A movie sure I'd love to" she answered "Okay see you tomorrow at 7" she said as she hung up the phone. She sighed happily as she laid back on her bed.



Hannah knew she shouldn't be going out with him. Emma would be furious. Hannah smiled "What Emma doesn't know won't hurt her" she whispered as she cuddled the teddy bear Matthew had won her at the carnival.
