Tomorrow was the day everyone was looking forward to – prom. Who was going to win prom queen? Who was the cutest couple? Who was looking most stunning? It would all be answered that night. Hanna was lying in her bed, but she was not crying like usual. Today she was just thinking about all the mistakes she had made this year. Instead of being a power-hungry queen bee, she should just have been herself… sophomore Hanna. Before junior year she was a happy, friendly and kind girl. Hanna knew she changed this year, and it was not in a good way! Hanna should not have focused so much on popularity and crowns – but now it was too late. She was just a junior loser.
At school people was not laughing at her anymore, now Hanna was just invisible. No one seemed to notice her, or even care about her anymore. The hot topics at school were about Alison or about that wasted kid who almost died of alcohol poisoning last night. Hanna was standing at her locker when Spencer arrived. "Hanna we need to talk, you are depressed…" said a clearly worried Spencer. Hanna could not keep back a smile – she had one true friend left. "Spence it's okay, people are done making fun of me, now I'm just a zero" said Hanna. Spencer still looked really frustrated. "Something is wrong Han. Emily and Aria are acting really strange!" said Spencer. She had a point, but Hanna did not know what to do. Suddenly people parted in the hallway, and Alison walked down the hall. Hanna could regionalize that cheerleading uniform from miles away, and Ali had two cheerleaders by her sides. She stared cold at Hanna as always when she walked pass.
Believe it or not, but Hanna attended at prom. The gym looked amazing, and Hanna was proud like last time at the homecoming dance. Hanna and Jason looked great, but they were not the one everyone stared at. Lucas and Alison looked really good as well, and they were like the top favorites to win junior prom queen and king. Hanna saw Emily and Aria, but when they saw her they quickly walked away. The music started, and Hanna really tried to enjoy the dance. Her and Jason kissed, danced and were having fun. "Can I see the students nominated for junior prom queen and king on the stage?" asked the principal. Alison, Jennifer, CeCe, Lucas, Noel and Sean entered the stage. "And our winners are… Alison and Lucas!" said the principal. Everyone clapped – everyone except Hanna. Okay Hanna knew she said she did not care about crowns anymore, but it still felt like shit when Ali won. Jason looked Hanna in the eyes, "baby let's get out of here!" he said. Hanna nodded. She would love to leave this terrible place.
The couple walked hand in hand out of the school. They went to a special spot in Rosewood – the romantic cliff where you had a perfect view of the town. They were lying on the green grass, and looked at the town. The heaven was clear, and every single star was shining bright. Hanna received a text, but she did not answer. She was just having a romantic moment with Jason. Seconds after she received one more and this time she checked. It was from Spencer; Run. "What's up baby?" asked Jason. Hanna read the first message. Jason is the stalker. Hanna froze - there was no way. She just stared at the phone in a few seconds. Suddenly Jason pulled the phone out of Hanna's hand – and threw away. Hanna knew what to do. She ran. She could hear Jason behind her, and she screamed after help. He was faster and he pushed Hanna so she fell. "JASON, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?" she yelled. He looked at her. There was no life in his eyes. "It was me Hanna. I left the messages for you" he answered cold. Hanna started crying, she could not move – she was in shock. "I have hated you from the first day. You are a bully, and you deserve to die" he said. He was not joking, his voice was serious. "I'm going to kill you now Hanna" he said. Hanna was still in shock and she could not say a word. Jason looked after something in his bag – and he found it: a kitchen knife. "Jason you need help, you have mental problems" said Hanna with a weak and clearly scared voice. Suddenly she toppled him, and they fought on the ground. "This time I will kill you baby" said Jason, and was about to stab Hanna in the heart with the knife. Hanna pushed him, and he fell backwards. Hanna forgot about the cliff, and she watched as Jason fell down. He screamed and then it ended. She felt pain in her arm, and screamed when she saw the knife – Jason had stabbed her in the arm, and there was blood everywhere. She saw three girls getting closer, they were yelling. Then she fainted.
