Chapter 11. I Love Her

"A dance?" Petey raised an eyebrow at the cheerleader.

"That's right." Mandy nodded.

Wait. Was she serious? Did she really want to go with him to the dance? The dance that was held every year in the gym? It had to be a mistake. Nobody liked Peter Kowalski. Nobody.

"You're not joking?"

"Nope. It's this Friday and I want you to go with me."

The head boy's eyes widened as she leaned in close and placed a kiss on his cheek. With that she made her exit quickly, leaving him standing there speechless.

After a few minutes or so had passed, Pete turned around and sauntered back to the principal's office. He stopped at the top of the stairs when he heard a voice shouting outside the room. One he did not recognize.

"Is this what you've come to, Crabblesnitch? Putting robots in this school?" the deep voice snarled.

"No, no. I don't know what you're talking about, ."

Petey knew that voice anywhere. It was .

He peered into the entrance of the office and saw the principal and another man with blonde hair. Derby Harrington stood proudly beside the man.

'That must be Derby's father.' he thought to himself. 'What's he doing here?'

"You better get rid of this robot, pauper! Shut it down! Or your job will be shut down!" shouted slamming his fist on the desk, causing both and Derby to flinch.

"Her name's not it! It's Hannah!" Pete snapped storming into the room, catching everyone off their guards.

He knew he should have just walked away, but some fire inside him was building up into a giant flame. He loved Hannah. He loved her more than life it's self. He never could have been this happy without her.

"Who are you?" the tall blond man sniffed sticking his nose up as if to show superiority.

"I'll tell you-"

But Derby interrupted and slid in front of the smaller than average boy, saying, "His no one, daddy. Just some filthy commoner. Now let's get on about shutting down the robot."

"You're not shutting her down! She's mine! She's my girlfriend!" Pete pushed Derby aside like he was nothing and stood a few inches away from the man. His brown eyes glared darkly at him.

"Girlfriend? That thing? It isn't real! It can't feel anything!" he shouted in anger.

"Yes she can! She loved me! She cared about me more than anyone else in this stupid school! And don't you dare say she can't feel anything! You have no clue, Harrington!"

The man wrinkled his nose. Petey was on the floor quickly, a black bruise now lining his cheek. Derby simply chuckled and then said, "That's what you get for messing with my daddy, pauper."

"Why Derby? I thought we were friends!" the small boy shouted sitting up slowly.

"Friends? You were just a pawn! An asset! You meant nothing to me! I only said I'd be friends with you just so I could get to Hannah!" the Harrington boy laughed.

Petey felt his heart shatter. He was tricked. It was all a lie just to get Hannah. He wasn't that surprised though. Everyone wanted Hannah because she was the perfect girl. The head boy's eyes shut tight. He knew he was doomed. Well, that was until he heard Gary Smith's voice from nearby.

"Hey, jackasses! Nobody's gonna pound femme boy except me!"

'Oh shit.' Pete thought.

Mandy blushed slightly as she spotted Tad Spencer walking up the path that led to Harrington House with Hannah by his side. Their hands were intertwined. The cheerleader clutched her chest like she had taken a shot to the heart. But she regained herself when the amber-haired boy turned in her direction. His eyes stared deep into hers. Hannah glanced over too and walked off, giving her a little smile before she left.

"Hello Mandy." Tad greeted warmly approaching the girl.

"H-hi, I mean, what do you want?" she hissed, trying to sound as bitchy as possible.

The amber-haired prep laughed at this and tucked his fingers under her chin, forcing her to stare him straight in the eye. Her face immediately flourished red again.

"Dear, is there something you want to tell me?" he said in his smooth faux-British accent.

What? Did he actually call her dear?

"E-excuse me?" Mandy said nervously.

Tad's arm circled her waist quickly and he leaned in close. His lips were hovering over hers.

"Well if you won't talk now," he whispered softly, "Then maybe you'll talk after this."

With those words, he bent his head downwards, capturing his lips in hers and nearly sending shivers down her spine. Mandy's eyes were as big as saucers until they finally closed in enjoyment. Little did they both know, Hannah had been watching them the whole time. A smile formed on her lips. She knew they were perfect for each other. Christy told her that Mandy loved him a lot. So it was good to see them together at last.

Now, it was time to find the boy she loved more than anything else. She needed him since the very start. Her memories of their time spent was all coming back again strangely when she looked at Tad and Mandy. A voice kept saying warning over and over, but someone behind her grabbed something from the back of her head and ripped it off. The voice soon faded away.

Hannah's eyes glazed over. Then they shut quickly and she collasped to the ground like a doll. Elizabeth Jay Lamb swung the unconscious girl over her shoulder, saying, "Come on, Hannah. Let's go find Petey."
