Yaay! Thank you Sandra, la-la-la-45 and Steph. Your reviews are what keep me writing.
The school was dark. The emergency lights were the only thing preventing the students from falling or bumping into something while walking around. Emily was walking on the hallway looking for Maya. She hasn't talked to her since their movie date. She was beginning to accept that she liked girls and that it was ok to do so. She was happy when she was with Maya and that was what mattered most. Plus, Hanna had been a really good friend since their talk about the kissing picture. Maybe Spencer and Aria would be ok with it either. She made a mental notice to talk to the girls about it after the SATs and this surprise that A had promised.
Hanna was seating beside Lucas on the floor of an empty classroom. Most of the students were on the auditorium or the cafeteria. Lucas was talking about a movie that he watched. Something about aliens and human extermination. She wasn't sure. God, he was such a dork! But surprisely she thought it was kind of cute. Somehow he remembered her of Seth Cohen from The OC and she smile with the idea. Who would imagine that the most popular girl of the school would think that Hermie was cute. Maybe hefty Hanna would like this smart, sweet boy, not queen bee Hanna. So why did she like hanging out with him? Thinking of that trigged something inside of her. Maybe she hasn't changed so much from the girl she used to be. No! She refused to be anything close to hefty Hanna. She was Hanna Maron now and Hanna Maron was no friend of dorks. And by the way, she loved Sean. What the hell was she doing with Lucas?
"I have to go" she said abruptly and got up. Lucas was caught off guard and stood on the floor.
"O-Ok" was all he had managed to say. Maybe the whole alien movie story was boring her. Or it was something else? "Will I see you later?" he asked hopefully.
"Whatever" she answered while getting out of the room to look for Sean. Somehow acting like that towards Lucas made her sad. She just couldn't place why.
Aria was walking by herself, trying to find her friends. She was scared about that surprise that A promised them. She had tried calling each one of her friend's phones, but nobody answered. She spotted Noah on the hallway and tried to hide from him, but he had already seen her and was coming in her direction.
"Hello there" he said smiling. It was a beautiful smile, she gave him that.
"Hum, hi" she said bit didn't smile back.
"Do you think they will keep us here for a long time?" he asked trying to engage a conversation.
She wasn't listening. Something else had caught her attention. A voice… Ezra's voice! She started to look around trying to find the source of the voice. There he was, talking to an old teacher like he had never left town. In a split of a second she had forgotten all about A and the surprise. Ezra was back! His eyes found hers and he smiled. It was a shy smile, but still a smile. He excused himself from the other teacher and pointed to an empty classroom.
Aria left Noah talking to himself without an excuse and entered the empty classroom closing the door behind her.
"Ezra!"
He only smiled. This time it was a big, warm smile. He opened his arms and Aria ran towards him without asking questions. It was so nice to be in his arms again. She had so much to ask but she couldn't manage to break their embrace. She was in peace and completely in love.
This chapter is only filling up before the next one when we get to know what kind of surprise A was talking about. Hope you liked it! Don't forget to review.
