(Hannah's POV)
We arrived at the Whitechapel gymnasium soon enough. As we made our dramatic entrances, we knew that we looked like the official nerd squad. The music was pumping and everyone was laughing and dancing. I occasionally danced with Meredith, when she wasn't dancing with Benny. I also danced with Erica and Rory a bit, but not that much. Suddenly, I saw Sarah.
"Hey, Sarah!" I yelled over the loud music. "Wait, Sarah? I thought Meredith killed you!"
"Well, my body won't die fully until I get revenge on the one who killed me. So I am here to make sure that her prom is the worst prom a teenage girl could have! And no one can stop me!" she laughed in my face. I ran over to Ethan.
"Sarah has come back to get revenge on Meredith! What should we do?" I screamed.
"Let's go get the rest of the team." Ethan smiled and we ran over to get Meredith, Benny, Erica, and Rory. We had told him the dilemma, and Erica suggested something extremely hard.
"I'll take her down. I will get a million proms. You deserve to have the best one yet. I know that Sarah is my best friend, but you guys need each other more than two vampires need each other. I can't stand how crazy she's getting. It's time to kill this psycho vampire for good." Erica said. She ran over to Sarah, who was plotting her evil vampire revenge.
"Sarah, I hate to do this to you, but I have no choice." Erica said as she yanked out four pencils. She stabbed them all in Sarah's heart.
"Why are you doing this to meeee?" she trailed off as she dissolved. The music stopped and everyone was staring at Erica.
"What? Get back to partying!" she yelled. She forgot to tuck her fangs back. Everyone ran, screaming. I was so upset. This wasn't supposed to happen! Now the prom was ruined! I ran to the hallway and sat against Ethan's locker which was surprisingly close to the gym. Ethan and Meredith ran out after me, because they were the most concerned. My head was buried in my arms, tears streaming down my face. The beauty shop girl was smart to put on water – proof mascara.
"Are you alright, Hannah?" Meredith asked, putting her arm around my shoulder. Ethan stood there, waiting for a reply. When I said nothing, he suggested, "I'll just go out there and try to calm everyone down." When he left, I decided to speak.
"No. My first prom is ruined. I was going to try to get back together with Ethan, but that won't happen now, because of Sarah. I hate her so much!" I yelled and started crying again.
"Hannah, maybe it's not too late. Did you ever think that Ethan still likes you? Plus, I think he really wants to dance with you too. I just heard him command Benny to do a calming spell on everyone." Meredith told me.
"I don't know though…he might just break up with me again…" I trailed off; reminding myself of the misery he put me through because of a breakup.
"There's only one way to find out. Come on!" Meredith smiled. We both stood up and walked back to the gym. It looked as if nothing had ever happened. Then, a slow song came on.
"May I have this dance?" Benny asked Meredith with a smirk.
"Of course!" Meredith laughed. I smiled, then walked over to the bench where all the losers sat.
"Hannah, will you please dance with me?" Ethan asked me.
"Why should I? I'm afraid that you might break my heart again." I said, not looking him in the eyes.
"Fine. I will show you how I feel, then." He calmly said, and walked over to the D.J. The music stopped, and Ethan picked up the microphone.
"Hannah, I wrote a poem dedicated to you. Here it goes:
When I look into your eyes, I know that I am okay.
It takes me by surprise, how I'm not with you every day.
I need you to know one special thing.
I love you so much, you make me want to sing.
No matter what happens, through hard times and good,
I hope we are always together, and I hope that's understood.
You are the best thing that has happened to me,
I'm so sorry that I put you through misery.
Please accept this form of apology,
Even if it's super cheesy.
Now there's only one question;
Do you want to go out with me?"
I was left gaping at him. I did NOT see that coming. I found out that I was crying when he wiped a tear from my eye.
"Oh my god, Ethan. I love you so much! Of course I will go out with you!" I cried and kissed him. It was the passionate kind of kiss. A slow song came on and we held each other close, protecting each other and making sure that we were safe.
"Erica, can we please dance just this once?" Rory begged.
"Oh, what the heck. It's not fair that two nerds get to be happy and you don't." Erica joked. No one else bothered to dance; they didn't want to ruin the romantic nerd moment. So it was just Benny and Meredith, Erica and Rory, and Ethan and I on the gym floor. The song playing was "Half Alive" by Secondhand Serenade. It was truly amazing.
After that, a really fast song came on. We were all dancing like crazy!
"Oh wow! I cannot believe we stayed until 1:00! I'm not even tired yet!" I yelled. I knew that as soon as I got home, I would collapse in a sudden heap. Right before we go into the car, I got a call.
"Oh, I'll be right back; I have to go to the bathroom." I said.
"Okay, we'll be waiting sweetie." Ethan gushed.
As soon as I got into the small girls bathroom, I had called the person back.
"Hey, I persuaded him to get back together with me." I said into the smart phone.
"That's great!" the voice screamed.
"I feel really bad. He wrote me a poem! He's so sweet! Why can't it be someone else? I want Ethan to be my boyfriend!" I said, my voice shaky.
"Don't worry. It will pay off in the long run…"
