2) His name was Darren Wilkes. He was a year older than her in high school, the only guy with a sharper tongue than her and had abs you could build a house on. When he graduated, he went to a community college and told her, he'd wait for her. He dropped out his first semester and told Hanna that she probably shouldn't even bother. Hanna was too proud to listen, got accepted into UCSD on a full scholarship and didn't look back. They broke up three weeks into her second semester, when she realized she could never persuade him to come back to school and never spoke to him again.
6) These days if it's not Hanna's sister texting her about her plans for the weekend or Hanna's best friend from college bragging about her latest male conquest, it's usually Jared whining about how bored he is and/or commenting on how much he likes her shirt, but he likes it better off and by the way...etc, etc, etc. Once upon a time, however, it used to be Damien with a "Lunch today? I miss you." or sometimes "Good morning, beautiful" or once, just once it was, "Just in case you forgot overnight, I love you."
7) Damien's best friend (and pretty much only friend, if he's perfectly honest about it) is David Aldersmith. Hanna describes him to Franklin and Bash as Damien's evil twin ("Evil? As in, Karp's the nice one? Are you sure that's possible?" "I wouldn't have believed if I hadn't met the cretin myself...") and even Stanton has a hard time keeping a civil smile on his face ("Oh, David... You're in town again, are you?") As far as Damien's concerned, David's the reason for all the adventure in his life. As far as everyone else is concerned, David is the reason that certain people's juvenile records are sealed and the Stanton has so many "new friends" in the DA's office.
10) The first thing Carmen does in the morning is kick dirty clothes out of her path into the kitchen. Then she sighs deeply and starts a pot of coffee.
12) Hanna's first and only tattoo is of the Big Dipper constellation high on her left inner thigh. She did it her sophomore year in college, halfway because Nicole from across the hall didn't think she had the balls to do it and halfway because she thought the lone freckle that was down there looked ugly and awkward...so she added some stars and made it look better. (At least she thought so until she grew out of her twenties, but by that point she just didn't care anymore.)
13) Stanton Infeld has his right nipple pierced. It appears to be his only piercing, although Damien's not asking and he really wishes he didn't even know that much.
