Chapter 27: Something just happened here
Hannah rushed down the halls to get to her class on time. But to her misfortune the bell rang just before she got to class. First period was AP English and while she loved the class and teacher she knew that he was not one to be bothered in a lecture.
But as luck would have it, the back door to the class was open.
With the quietest feet that she could manage she crept into the class and sat her bag down. As she began to sit down, she was stopped by a calm voice.
"In the school's of old, Miss McAllister, students who were late were stripped and switched until the end of lessons." The teacher turned around looking very serious at his late pupil.
"I guess I am glad that lessons only last an hour now instead of all day?" Hannah let slip out, "That is if you don't want them to last all day?"
(Silence)
"I'm sitting down now."
Hannah sat down quickly in her seat and felt her face get hotter by the second, while her teacher tried his best not to laugh at his young student.
"See that it doesn't happen again, Miss McAllister."
Hannah sighed and lowered her head on her desk. She was jolted when she felt a soft breath in her ear.
"Tough break new girl." Dylan whispered in her ear.
Hannah felt a chill run through her as she took out her book and started to attempt to convey the lesson in English today.
Lita glared at her brother while smirking over to her best friend. The two of them could be complete dolts sometime.
The bell rang and class left, Lita stayed to watch Hannah sigh as she packed up her bag. But, the fact was that Hannah had been staring at one of her pencils for at least 5 minutes.
"Something wrong space cadet or are you trying to determine the exact type of wood used in that pencil."
"Wha?" Hannah jolted, looking at Lita, "Sorry about that, things are just weird at home."
As they walked to their next class, Hannah told Lila about Saturday and the new roommate.
"Wow! How weird it must be to have him there. At least he isn't trying to." Lita said, trailing off as she stared up ahead of her. In front of her, looking down at his feet was Jaccob.
Hannah watched, as Lita looked at the floor and Jaccob watch the lockers.
"Ok you two. If someone doesn't say something to someone soon, I will have to start singing." Hannah sighed, but they didn't move.
She was startled when she felt a strong arm drape across her shoulders, she looked up to see Dylan looking down at her.
"Come on new girl lets go talk. Later Sis, and brother-in-law." Dylan said as he pulled Hannah away from the two.
"Dylan!" Lila and Jaccob shouted at the same time. The two looked at each other and smiled before breaking out into laughter.
Hannah watched as Dylan pulled her away from them,
"Holy smokes Batman! You just did something nice to your sister." Hannah joked as she looked up at Dylan.
"Well, someone has to push them along. Watching them fumble on each other is like watching a painful episode of Saved by the Bell."
Dylan stopped and let her go before turning and walking towards the school. Hannah watched as he walked away. Something in her felt empty when she saw him leave.
"Wait!" she called out.
He turned and looked at her with a startled look. "Yes?"
"Uhm, do you want to go to a movie on Friday? That is if you like movies. I usually get a migraine when I leave loud movies… the movies also sell good food. Now that I think about it that whole food business is a total rip off. You could get Wendy's and sneak it in .." Hannah said in an uncomfortable voice, getting more jumbled as she saw him walk towards her. "But, you might not like movies. You know there are people that don't like movies. I don't really understand why they wouldn't like.."
Dylan watched as she got all flustered and began to stutter at a mile a minute. It was in that moment that he noticed something that he never noticed before. She was actually, cute.
She didn't even notice him walk up to her, but she did notice when he leaned down and looked into her eyes. Hannah realized at that moment, just how tall he was.
"See, you can be quiet." Dylan joked. "Alright, Friday it is. Make sure the bodyguard knows I'll be there at 7."
"All you have to do is take his cane."
"I wasn't talking about him," Dylan smirked as he walked away, "See you later, new girl."
Hannah watched him leave and let a small smile come to her face. When she turned to go back to the lockers, she saw Lita and Jaccob watching her with big grins on their faces.
"Its about time!" Lita said, smiling up at Jaccob.
"Why you little! That's it! I am no longer accepting you as my best friend!" Hannah said, as she stomped up to the pair. "I can't believe my own best friend played me like that."
"Whatever Hannah, you two have been on pins and needles since the party." Lita watched her face when she mentioned the party. "You know, if you ever want to talk about it you can. Keeping whatever locked inside isn't healthy either."
"Thanks Doctor Lita!" Hannah said, "I never knew you were an all around guru. I knew there was something I didn't know about you."
"Don't mention it, I always give a discount for the first session."
"What? It's not free?"
** Hmd Hmd **
House and his ducklings were in the middle of diagnosing a seven-year-old boy with rectal bleeding, hallucinations and strange blood screenings. In the midst of all this none managed to look at the clock to check the time.
"What if we find the heart cells with the bad DNA and we tag them?" Cameron said, looking over at House.
"Can you phrase that in the form of a metaphor?" House looked at her, trying to pull her knowledge out of her. She trailed off and looked over his head, he paused and followed where she was looking.
"Oh shit!" Cameron yelled.
"Yes, that was a symptom of the alien abduction."
"I'm late to pick up Hannah."
"Hannah is not in the hospital due to an alien abduction." House said as he started to limp away towards his office. "Do your job."
Cameron watched him walk away with a smile before turning to Foreman and Chase.
Foreman looked at House and said, "Did I miss something?"
"What? I actually get to pick up a young chick and not get arrested. How cool is that?"
House wasn't lucky enough to get out of the hospital without running into the she-devil.
"And where are you going?" Cuddy said stopping him just outside her office.
"I have a hot date." House said, as he turned around to face her, "Well, it looks like the girls have a hot date too."
"Care to explain?"
"Gee Cuddy, you're the one that put on the shirt." House said, "They are almost popping out."
"Dodging the conversation, House."
"Well. I was going to pick up a hot date but it looks like I will need to get cigars. Does the father know yet?"
"On birth control House, not pregnant."
"Are you sure you are on birth control?"
With that, he left Cuddy with a shell-shocked expression on her face.
** Hmd Hmd **
House made it to the front of the school and grimaced when he saw the brunette sitting on the side of the street. This wasn't going to be pretty.
He stopped the car and limped over to her. "I'm looking for a girl, about five – three with brunette hair and a school uniform. If she has friends I'm willing to throw in a little extra."
Hannah looked up and smirked, "Aren't you a little old to be picking up high school girls?"
"Figured if I came back with a hit chick, I would get props from my homies."
Hanna stood up and looked at House with a serious look, "I thought you two forgot about me."
"Nah, we were just busy with an alien abduction. Real hush hush X-files stuff." House winked at her as they walked to his car.
As they walked House noticed a black Audi A3 under the shade of a maple. He looked the driver in the eyes and continued talking to Hannah. Dylan watched the two walk to the red convertible and began to start his car.
"Right, so are you going to make me to go to Wendy's to get you a frosty to make up for my tardiness boss?"
"Nah, I will make you get me an outfit at the mall this weekend though." Hannah said, as she got in the car.
House groaned as he pulled away from the school. The black car drove away in the opposite direction.
"Good Kid."
** Hmd Hmd **
"I'm so sorry!" Cameron gushed as she rushed to give Hannah a hug.
"Alien abduction! Room 3!" House glared at Cameron, who just finished her hug and excused herself.
"Touch anything and the fates will weep at your misfortune."
"Pft the fates threw you with me, I should weep to them."
Chase laughed, "Wow! I like her."
"Jailbait and who do you think signs your paychecks?" House replied, not even looking over at Chase.
House watched Hannah walk into his office and put her stuff on his couch, careful to not disturb anything as she sat down. She put on her iPod and began to work on her homework.
He didn't even notice Wilson and Cuddy watching him through his office windows.
"That's just too weird, he almost looks human." Cuddy said to Wilson.
"And we would never want that now would we," Wilson said he walked to his office, "mom?"
"I'm not pregnant!"
