Hanna POV

Finally school ended on Monday and I couldn't wait to get home. Monday's always sucked in general but it was worse since I had waited all day to tell the girls my big news. I was giving Spencer a ride to my place and I almost wanted to tell her everything on the car ride.

We got to my house and I showed Spencer around my room so she could get familiar with it. A few minutes later the others arrived and I was relieved that I could finally tell them after waiting all weekend.

"So what's the big news, Hanna?" Emily asked after we were all seated in my room.

Emily and Aria were sitting on my couch, Spencer and Mona were on my bed, and I was actually standing because I was too anxious and excited to sit.

"You know that guy that I like? And how you told me that I shouldn't be afraid of my feelings?" I asked and they all nodded their heads. "Well, I'm finally ready to tell you guys about him. His name is Caleb Rivers and I told him how I felt about him. Then he kissed me."

"Details please!" Mona demanded.

I spent the next twenty minutes telling them how we met, how I let him live in my basement, that I jumped in the shower while he was in it, how he was about to leave, how I told him how I felt, then how he kissed me.

"Wow, that's pretty crazy but it totally works for you." Spencer commented.

"How come you didn't tell about him sooner?" Aria asked me.

"Well, at first he was just some annoying guy. Then he helped me out so I let him stay in the basement. When I started getting feelings I ignored them since I was scared to be with someone else after breaking up with Sean. But of course you guys picked up on it so I followed your advice and told him how I felt." I told them. "Are you guys mad that I didn't?"

"No!" They all shouted at the same time.

"We're not mad at you, Han. I totally get it. It's scary to be with someone new after you've broken up. And especially when you and Sean were together as long as you were." Emily comforted me.

I appreciated her words because she had recently experienced the same thing as me, only it wasn't the same. She had dated Ben for a long time before breaking up, and now she had just started a new relationship. Last week she came out to us and her parents. She told us that she was dating Maya, the girl she had introduced us to a few days before. All of us were happy and supportive of her, but her parents were taking longer to come around. Kind of like my mom was coming around to the idea of me being with Caleb.

"You seem happy with him." Spencer observed.

"Yeah, I am." I said and I couldn't keep the smile off my face. "But I haven't even told you guys the first part yet!"

"There's more?" Aria asked.

"On Friday my mom found his stuff in the basement and kicked him out. I got mad at my mom and followed him when he left. That night we went camping and we talked about a lot of personal stuff. Anyways we started making out, and later that night I had my first time."

"Really!?" They all asked in excitement.

"Yeah, and it was awesome." I told them.

Of course the girls had questions about me and Caleb. And I gladly answered. I loved being able to talk about stuff like this with them. We never really talked about me and Sean because it never really went anywhere, but with Caleb things were moving fast and I was enjoying the ride.

"How was your weekend, Spence?" I asked after the girls had stopped asking questions about me and Caleb.

I really wanted to know why Jason had told us that we couldn't bother her.
