Chapter 10. Hurt

"Okay, it's been a long day. I know you want to go home so just tell me what I want to know." Gary sneered pacing back and forth.

The black haired girl sat tied up in a wooden chair, her eyes were glaring darkly at the sociopath. She had been stuck in the Harrington House for an hour or so. Now she was getting tired and frustrated. She decided to spill the beans.

"Alright, what do you want to know?" she asked.

Derby pushed Gary aside and shouted, "I want to know who the hell you are!"

Gary growled at him before turning back to her, saying, "You heard the man. Who the hell are you?"

The girl let out a heavy sigh and replied, "My name is...Elizabeth. Elizabeth Jay Lamb. I'm the creator of robots which are specially designed for single people."

"Really? So tell me. Is Hannah one of your creations?" Gary leaned against the wall and raised an eyebrow at her.

"That's right."

Derby's eyes widened. His jaw dropped to the floor. Bif and the other preppies were speechless. So that's why Hannah wasn't like most of the girls in Bullworth. She was a robot.

After a moment of silence, Gary spoke again, his eyes staying locked on the girl sitting before him.

"Why did you want Hannah to be with Petey?" he asked crossing his arms.

The girl's eyes moved from Gary to Derby, who had a look of impatience clearly shown on his features. She let out another heavy sigh and said, "I felt bad for him. He didn't have anyone for so long. I reviewed his school profile and I found no girlfriend or nothing."

Gary paced the floor once more and then turned to face Derby.

"What do you think, Harrington?"

"A robot, eh?" Derby said stroking his chin in thought.

"Can I go now?" the girl asked sourly, rocking back and forth in her seat.

Both boys nodded. She stuck up her nose as if to show superiority and stormed out of the Harrington House. Gary's eyes moved from the exit to Harrington, who had suddenly started laughing sinisterly.

"A robot! How strange of a creation indeed!" he laughed.

Gary rolled his eyes to the side and left the preppies headquarters, muttering some curse words under his breath as he did. He couldn't believe that Petey would date a robot and not even realize it. Derby didn't notice him leave. He simply seated himself down on a fancy black leather chair and took out his cellphone.

"What are you doing-" Bif was cut off when he heard a man's voice on the head prep's phone.

"Mr. Harrington here. Who is this?" the man asked in an arrogant like manner.

"Daddy, this is Derby. I need you come by tomorrow morning. It's very important." Derby said with an evil grin.

"What is so important, boy?"

"Robots."

"Look, Mandy, you better go now. It's getting past curfew." Pete said as they approached the boys dorm.

The lead cheerleader nodded and replied, "Yeah. Well, thanks for listening to me, Petey. Don't tell anyone I like Tad or you will die."

Pete smiled warmly at her before turning on his heels and sauntering up the steps. Mandy strangely felt her heart beating faster and faster. She placed a hand on her chest and stared at the smaller than average boy in a dreamy daze. She didn't know why, but she seemed much happier around him. Ted never made her feel that way. It was probably because he never understood her emotions and only cared about sex.

Hannah had just arrived at the girls dorm and went towards the door after telling Tad goodnight. She stopped when she noticed the two teens near the boys dorm.

It was her ex-boyfriend Pete and the cheerleader that ran out of the classroom. Who was she? Ugh. Why would she care? Hannah shook her head wildly and turned her head away, but she couldn't ignore them no matter how hard she tried. Her eyes widened when she turned her attention to them again and saw the cheerleader land a quick kiss on Pete's lips.

After watching him stand there motionless for a minute, she forced her back against the wall and slowly sunk to the ground. Her hands were shaking like crazy.

She didn't know what was wrong with her. It was as though someone had stabbed her in the heart and left it there. Hannah didn't get it. They were through. Over. She loved Tad and only him. So why did she feel this way? Why did she...feel hurt?
