"what have you been up to?" i asked hanna as i fiddled with my fingers.

her bright, pearly whites showed as she grinned widely. "i've been missing cece."

her old nickname for me made me smile. she always called me cece. we were young and she'd either call me cece of charchar whenever she'd visit me with alison.

"i've missed my hannakins."

hanna smiled widely and she moved her body closer, making me more nervous.

"so. tell me. what's the radley gossip?" she asked as she played with my hair.

"well remember crazy carly?"

"yes!" she chorused, excited now. i laughed, "well, she's pregnant."

"WHAT?! how the hell did that happen?" hanna said, cracking up.

i laughed and shrugged, "i think her and waky steve hit it up during lunch."

hanna threw her head back and cackled. "that is golden!" i nodded, agreeing with her and she sighed, "so. what about psycho bethany? anything on her?"

i shook my head, "no. she still tries to see me but my mother won't let her. she actually sent me a note, leaving it on the back of my favorite game in radley, chutes and ladders. it said, 'i miss you charles. i want to see you again. love, bethany.'" hanna's eyes widened, "she called you charles?"

i nodded and bit the inside of my cheek, "yeah. and i was angered at first. she knows i am charlotte now. i guess she was trying to use my old name to bring back memories of our old friendship." i said and hugged my body.

hanna nodded and as she did so she glanced at the tv. "i love this movie." she whispered.

i looked at it and noticed it from a book i've read. "the fault in our stars?" hanna turned to me and nodded, "it's such a tragic love story. they both have so little but yet they have so much. they have each other. and to them that's all they need. each other. love. and he risks everything to make hazel grace's dream come true." i watched the way she explained it. she was so into it and then she said, "i want something like that. someone that will love me the way he loves her. i want to be the people who would fall so madly in love that they'd do anything to protect each other. i want someone to look at me the way gus looks at hazel grace...someone who is caring, sweet, charismatic, funny and romantic...i know it's cliche but i've always dreamt of someone like that." she said and scoffed, chuckling.

i nodded and was about to say something when she said, "too bad there is no one like that in this world." she got up and went to the kitchen and i gulped, swallowing the lump in my throat. and as if this couldn't get harder, the door opened, "caleb. hey." hanna said and smiled.

"hey blondie. other blondie." he said and said, "my sister and his girlfriend here?"

i thought now was a good time to piss him off, for kissing hanna, and for being a dick to my sister.

"they're having sex."

"what?!" he shouted.

i shrugged, "you know. making love. when two people love each other they usually-"

"i know how it works. thanks." he said, holding a hand up to stop me from saying more. i glanced sideways at hanna who tried to suppress her laughter.

"hi." i said and walked past him, to the fridge.
