Misunderstood (Discontinued)

Chapter 12

HI IM NOT DEAD!!! IM ALIVE! SCHOOL STARTED AND I WA STRESSED AND FORGOT BUT HERE IS SOMETHING!!

Peggy's POV

I clutch my textbook under my arm as I skip down the halls. I don't have much to be happy about but I feel good today so I'm going to embrace it, even if I don't understand it.

"Peg!" My oldest sister's voice sounded over the footsteps, crunching through the snow. Angelica ran up beside me, "God where's your coat? You're going to freeze!". She slides her coat off, wrapping it around me.

"Angie, I'm fine. Trust me!", I roll my eyes, shoving her playfully.

"What did you have for lunch?", Angie slings her arm around my shoulders.

"Soup", I answered, irritated. "Potato soup I think".

"Okay... I just asked, no need to get upset", She pulled her arm back to her side. I bite my lip, I didn't mean to snap.

"Just don't monitor me, Angelica, I don't appreciate it.", I sigh.

"I'm just trying to look out for you... I worry about you Peg-leg"

"I know"

We walk in silence for a little while, it was peaceful.

"Liz and Lafeyette are watching movies together, wanna go hang out with them?" Angie suggests, biting her lip nervously.

"Y-yeah. I'm down with that", I throw her a small smile.

"Have you talked to Lafeyette since the whole George Eacker thing?" I ask.

She shakes her head, "Not yet. I was going to ask them when we get there. Should I not?"

"Why wouldn't you?", We turn the bend, stepping in sync.

"If they are having a good time, I don't want to bring the mood down", Angie shrugs. I nod as we come up to Lafayette's shared dorm. I knock softly, giggling at something Angie said to lighten the mood. Eliza opened the door, a smile plastered to her face.

"Hey, cmon in! We just finished Lion King", Eliza steps to the side as we shuffle past.

"Angel! Pegleg!", Laf jumps up from their seat, running over to us. They give us each a huge hug, before returning to their beanbag.

"Hey dudes" Herc waves, offering coke to both of us.

"Thanks" I pop the cap off, chugging it like it was beer.

"Dang Peggy, do you want some beer instead?" Herc laughs. I punch him in the shoulder lightly

"Haha very funny" Rolling my eyes, I glance over to Angelica who is deep in a semi-serious conversation. Oh... so she did ask. Crap... not that I didn't care about Laf but I needed to talk to them about something desperately. And I just don't want to make this hangout so... depressing.

"Peggy!" Hercules's voice shakes me from my thoughts.

"S-sorry... what?", I stumble over my words.

"I was just asking if you want to help me pick out the next movie"

"Oh.. uh no... I mean yea... uh yes, I'll help" I give him a weak smile. "Sorry... I'm just kinda out of it.. for reasons". Shit! I said too much. "I mean mainly because I'm really tired. Buncha tests, y'know?". I speak louder than I intended. Hercules frowns, scooting closer to me. I look everywhere but at him. Angie and Laf have stopped talking and are focused on me now.

"Are you okay Margarita?", Hercules places his hand on my shoulder. Fuck he called me by my birth name (Yuh Peggy is for short). You are okay Peggy, calm the fuck down and stop talking.
