Disclaimer,:I only own Hannah and Jessamyne.
It was bad enough that Peter had to tutor Hannah ,but now he had to go to her house to do it. He stood in front of the stately three story Tudor mansion wishing the earth would swallow him up,there was no way he was raising that knocker,which ironically was the picture of a lions head,he reached out touching it feeling the cool stone and closing his eyes. Picturing a Magnificent Lion with a a beating heart and warm tawny fur.
"Aslan" he whispered,the door swung open and he found himself staring at a young girl wearing a maid's uniform. She curtsied. and stepped back to let him in
" Right this way Miss Hannah is in the sunroom.,May I take your coat." she asked.
Peter handed her his coat suddenly he heard Hannah screech,"Jessamyne! where's my tea! I'm starving!"
Peter looked at the girl,"I take it your Jessamyne?" he guessed.
Jessamyne nodded," I should take Miss Hannah her tea,she gets very impatient if she's kep waiting ."
It took Peter only two minutes to come up with a plan."Let me,you just get it ready."
"But my position." Jessamyne protested half heartedly, truthfully,she didn't want to face Miss Hannah.
"Don't worry." Peter said,"Just point me in the direction of the sunroom."
Jessamyne handed Peter the tea tray,filled with little cakes called petite fours,scones ,jam ,chocalate biscuits.
"Are you sure about this,she can be absolutely beastly." Jessamyne said wringing her hands.
" Don't I know it,I have the unpleasure of tutoring her." Peter said heading toward the sunroom,luckily Hannah was alone sitting in a high back chair looking as if she were a queen,not a good one either.
"Where's Jessamyn? What are you doing here? Is that my tea,bring it here." Hannah said bossily.
Peter crossed the room in three strides and dumped the tray on Hannah's jumped up screeching.
"How dare you! You stupid clumsy boy! Jessamyne! Jessamyne! When my father hears of this Jessamyne!" Hannah grabbed several napkins and tried to wipe her skirt off.
"Oh shut up." Peter said sick and tired of Hannah's yelling.
For once Hannah was at a loss of what to say no one had ever dared tell her to shut up.
"You know what your problem is Hannah? You are a lying, two-faced backstabbing, ungrateful, manipulative know-it-all. I feel sorry for your parents since they give birth to you" Peter said,Hannah opened her mouth and was about to continue,but Peter rushed on.
"When you die,people are going to come to your funeral only to make sure you're actually dead." he said . "There's going to come a day when you will have no one ." he predicted darkly
Hannah opened and closed her mouth looking like a fish out of water,but no words came out.

"You told her off." Susan gasped staring at her brother "and dumped the tea tray on her?"
Edmund started laughing,"I would have loved to be there to see that."
Susan frowned and looked disapprovingly at her older brother,"Peter shouldn't have done that. Hannah might retaliate."
"Hannah doesn't even know how to spell retaliate let alone do it." Peter said not the least bit worried. "Besides it was high time someone told her the truth."
"She might though." Susan warned.

Peter couldn't believe his horrible luck not only did he have to tutor Hannah,but their science teaher had paired them up as partners during the class's coach outing trip to the nearby forest to collect different leave and rock specimens.
"I hate this,I'm cold . Hurry up! " Hannah complained ,she had been griping nonstop since they had arrived. The sky was cloudy and dismal and it was drizzling on and off. Peter had about all he could take of Hannah's complaints.
"You could try doing something ,you know." Peter snapped.
Hannah snorted and folded her arms across her chest." Not bloody likely."
"Fine fail as if you care." Peter said walking away. He should have watched where he was going ,one minute he was standing on solid ground,the next minute he was he was sprawled on the ground a shooting pain going through his ankle (it was broken). He clenched his teeth willing himself not to cry out in agony after all he had endured worse in Narnia. But Lucy always had her cordial,here there was only Hannah who would probably walk away and leave him here .
Hannah suddenly appeared,her face twisiting into a smirk,"Clumsy are we." she started to walk off.
"Where are you going!" Peter called after her,the sky opened up and it started pouring.
"I'm not sticking around here." Hannah sneered.
"Hannah! you can't just leave me here!" Peter yelled not even she could be that horrendous,but then again it was Hannah so who knew.
Hannah came back and knelt next to him," Are you insane,why should I stay ,you'd probably leave me too." she stood up
"Don't be stupid,unlike you ,I'm not that cruel." Peter snapped his teeth chattering from the cold.
"Yes,well that's the difference between you and me isn't it.I don't owe you anything." Hannah stood up and walked away..
"Hannah!" Peter yelled the wind whipping his words away. There was no way Hannah could be that cruel .
The rain came in torrents now,obscuring Peter's vision. Gritting his teeth,he struggled into a sitting position. Reaching up he grabbed onto a low hanging branch and pulled into a standing position,his ankle screamed in agony and he bit his lip,biting back the scream lodged in his throat. He stood there a few minutes ,trying to catch his breath.
If he didn't hate Hannah before he certainly hated her now,his ankle protested every step he took even though ,he tried to put most of his weight on his other had no idea where he was either.

Meanwhile Hannah had reached the rest of the fourth year and fifth year class,they were just about to board the bus. Susan broke from her class and ran up to her.
"Where's Peter? he was with you,where is he?" she asked
Hannah smirked and looked over her shoulder,"Your clumsy brother fell and twisted his ankle."
Susan stared in disbelief,"You left him there!"
"He's not my responsibility." Hannah ,Susan slapped her across the face.
Hannah stared at her holding her reddening cheek.
"My god,Hannah,I knew you were a jerk,but this is the lowest thing you've ever done." Susan said coldly.
By this time the news had travelled through both classes,everyone was looking at Hannah with a mixture contempt and loathing,some of them might not like Peter,but even they would never leave him .
"Susan's right,Hannah,you're despicable." one of Hannah's followers said,"Not even we would be that mean."
"What are you talking about,you don't even like him!" Hannah sputtered trying to justify her actions.
Everyone turned away from stared after her classmates and "friends" . Susan gave her one last look of disgust before going to find the teacher.
A/N: Yes,Hannah's a huge jerk . Now everyone knows it.
