I'm sitting in my window. It's been a week since I got back home. Life went on and nobody noticed my pain. Every day I pretend to be okay. I even tried really hard to forget about Peter, but I couldn't. Every night I sit in my window, talking to the sky, hoping that Peter'd show up with his creepy shadow and kidnap me again. But he doesn't. He never will. I have to move on, to forget. Every day I'll smile and live. But every night I cry. I look up at the stars. "Please Peter. If you could only tell me why. Why did you send me back, what did I do? Love isn't a weakness Peter. It's power. It's hope. Please Peter, let me give you hope again. I'll never leave your side. I'll never be able to forget you. I love you." I look at my alarm clock. It's already 11.30 pm and I have school tomorrow. I force myself to get out of my window and try to sleep.
I cycle to school with my friend Alice. She's super excited for today and keeps talking about all the things you could possibly talk about. I only listen half, still thinking about Neverland. "..... and then, in our last period we'll meet the new boy....." Oh of course. I forgot about that new guy in our class. ".....Maybe he is cute. Well, I hope he is. We don't really have any cute and handsome boys in our class haven't we?" I think of Peter. He's cute and handsome. And sweet. And caring. And his eyes. His beautiful green..... "Are you even listening Gwen?" I snap out of my thoughts. "Yes yes, the new Lost Boy right?" She raises her eyebrow. "Why would he be lost?" I realise what I said. "Huh, what? Nevermind. So..... did you learn well for the math test today?" I ask, quickly changing the subject.
The rest of the day goes by pretty fast. It's our last period now. Alice and I walk to our classroom together and she's talking about that new boy again. We sit down and I notice I left my books in my locker. I walk over to the teacher. "I'm sorry sir, but my books are still in my locker, can I go to get them?" He sighs lightly. "Okay Gwen, but hurry a bit. And don't forget the essay you have to hand in." I hurry to my locker and grab my books. As I walk back into the classroom the lesson already started. I walk to the teacher's desk and see the new guy standing there. He's standing with his back to me so I can only see that he's wearing a green hoody and has brown hair. "Here's my essay sir." I hand over the essay. The boy turns around as he hears my voice. I drop all of my books in shock as I recognise him.
