Trading one Addiction for Another, Are we Hana?

Hana Marin rose up from the kitchen counter forgetting her breakfast as she headed toward the front door. Where the knocking had occurred, to see Office Garret to her dismay

"Good morning Hana" said officer Garret, eyeing over Hana who wore a pair of short a white and black stripped sweater and black tank

"Officer Garret how nice of it of you to come by" said Hana sarcastically, as Garret walked past Hana and into the house expecting it.

"Is your mother and father home Mrs. Marin?" he said walking Hana into the corner as his hot breath blew into her face.

"My mother is at work any my dad is with is skank so No." said Hana curtly trying to wiggle away from him "I didn't say you could come in"

"When will she be home" he replied ignoring Hana

"I don't know at eight," said Hana "Okay bye"

"Why are you trying to get rid of me so quick?" he breathed

"You need to leave you're not to question me without a guardian around." Said Hana nervously "you need to leave…NOW"

"Fine" he said, pulling away from Hana slowly

"Shouldn't you be worried about what happen in Chloe's Roland's death?" said Hana wanting him far away from her as possible.

"Should I be?" he said walking towards her living room and stopping to inspect her 8th grade class photo. "You know most children whose parents have left them tend to act out?"

"What does this have to do with anything?" snapped Hana

"You know I looked over you're file and it says 'when your put under stress or feel you're threaten you create an addiction be it an eating problem or an obsession maybe even a creating another personality"

"You're trying to say I went crazy and Killed my best friend"

"I just was wondering were you switching one obsession for another?" asked Garret

"I'll see you soon Ms. Marin"

As she slammed the door closed she couldn't help but wonder where she heard those word before?

'Switching one obsession for another?'…

'Switching one obsession for another?'…

'Switching one obsession for another?'…..

Then it hit her when she was shopping with Mona last weekend.

Hana strutted out of the dresser room wearing a Long- Sleeve Crewneck Bordeaux Mélange Dress, with matching belt and hat. "Hana you look gorgeous."

"Thank you," said Hana twirling in the mirror, but it did not seem the same without Ali sitting in one of the little coach chairs. Eyeing Hana up and down and after ten minutes finally give Hana her seal of approval.

"Look it's on sale only 199.00" exclaimed Mona

Hana walked toward the front desk handing the sales clerk her card "I want to wear this out."

"Okay let me ring you up." Smiled the sales clerk

"Let's go for some froyo." Smiled Mona; walking ahead

"Cool." said Hana stopping once she saw this beautiful Gold- Crystal Choker Necklace. She looked over her shoulder seeing no one was around, snatched the necklace and ran out the store.

Buzz …Buzz…Hana looked at her I-phone one text.

Trading on Addiction for another, are we Hana?

~A

Who are you?

The judge, jury and your excursion

Be more careful Hana, grubby hands leave sticky fingerprints

~A

What did A mean by that 'Grubby hands leave stick fingerprints?' Hana had just thought A was some loser, who got some sick pleasure on making girls squirm. However, what did she really have to worry about?

But now Hana was starting to wonder what did she really have to worry about?

When Hana finally made it to school she was greeted by Mona; who was flirting with Noel Khan 'one of the richest boys in Rosewood'. He and Prudence Westler had dated for three years, but broke up with her because she had cheated on him. Ali had told him she and Kevin Marsh were making out at last year's Rosewood Elementary Halloween Party; she claimed she had did it for Aria 'who was secretly in love with him'.

Then now that Hana thought about it, Alison had done some sketchy things last year those mean jokes to Emily, all those competitions with Spencer, those comments to Aria, Noel and Prudence, snide comments she made about Hana and her weight, her dad, etc… Even the Jenna thing. The worst part of it was Ali claimed she was doing them all a favor, but the Jenna thing was different Ali claimed she did nothing of the sort.

"Hana?" whispered Mona "Are you okay"

"Uh- yeah" smiled Hana

"Alright then let's go,"

As Hana and Mona strutted into the school they were the coolest girls in school; besides Alison who really only talked to Emily and her Field Hockey friends Tina Diesely, Amber Lisle and CeCe Drake.

"Oh look its Hana and Mona," hissed Nomi; hands on her hip, her shaggy white-blond hair, which looked like the Grandmother from 'Flowers in the Attic' cut it, her ice-blue eyes, filled with hate. "The Backstabbers"

"What are you talking about?" replied Hana

" Just watch your back Hana, Mona will use you and then stab you in the back like she did Alison " sneered Riley Wolfe, her blood-red hair pulled into a bun, her skin was deathly pale and her green eyes looked two tones different.

"If I remember right you two were Ali's friends since first grade" commented Mona "And you two willing dumped Ali when you thought she was slipping."

Hana had forgotten that during sixth and the end of seventh grade Mona and her stopped being friends. She had pretty much dumped Hana, selling her secrets to Ali, Riley, Nomi and Aria when she was in their group.

"You two are still mad that I dumped you," hissed Mona "now you're walking around without a clue; like you two do."

"Whatever" said Riley "Just watch your back, because when Mona drops you she'll drop you hard."

Silly little Hanakins ... She doesn't have an idea that she should really be worried.

None of them do... Those bitches don't get that I'm not playing; the only one who truly understands is Ali because she had to learn the hard way. I mean isn't Chloe an example of what happens when you poke your nose into other business?

The liars don't get that I'm all knowing- all seeing...

That they're toys and I'm pulling the string but they soon will
