Peter/YB X Female Reader //Highschool Drama//

Chapter 6: New Day

Y/N POV

I woke up to my annoying alarm. I got out of bed and got dressed. I wanted to meet Peter earlier so I could give him his work. He usaully shows up to school decently early, compared to my late ass. I chuckled a little at my thoughts before grabbing my bag and keys. I ran out to my car and got in. Once I got to school, I parked and ran over to the back of the school, where he usaully hangs out. And of course, he was there. Smoking as usaul.
"Hi Peter." I said, waving.
He looked over. He seemed slightly surprised.
"So I got all your work done and-" I said, getting cut off.
"Sorry." He said, out of the blue.
"Huh. What? For what? I'm... Lost." I stuttered.
"For yesterday, nerd." He growled slightly, throwing his cigarette on the ground.
"Oh it's all good. But thank you for the apology." I said, while digging through my bag.
I pulled out his work and handed it to him. I smiled a little as he looked over it.
"Thanks." He said, throwing it next to his bag.
"No problem." I said.
We were silent for a moment. I didn't know what to say or do. He seemed to be staring at me though.
"You came early. How come?" He asked.
"I just wanted to give you your work. Plus... I didn't want Opal or TK to see..." I muttered.
He nodded while pulling out another cigarette and lighting it. I stood there awkwardly.
"You can leave now." He said.
"Oh! Yeah yeah... I was just about to head out. Sorry." I said, backing up.
He rolled his eyes. I turned and walked away. He seemed to be in a better mood today. I think. I walked into the school and into the cafeteria. I sat down and pulled out my work. I decided since I have time, I might as well work on it. After about 15 minutes, Opal sat down next to me.
"Heya Y/N! How are you?" She asked.
"Good actually." I said, putting my work away.
"You didn't stay up all night last night, did ya?" She asked.
"Um... Till about 3am..." I muttered.
Opal sighed.
"The goth kid better have said thanks for you wasting your damn time on his damn work." Opal said, upsetly.
"He did. I was surprised." I said.
"Wow. I'd be too." Opal said.
Just then TK sat down next to us.
"How are you guys?" They said, smiling.
"Great." Opal and me said at the same time.
TK chuckled.
"Did that goth freak apologize?" TK asked.
I nodded.
"Honest?" TK asked.
"Yup." I said.
"I'm glad to hear that. Now, don't do any of his work anymore." TK said.
"Can't make promises, but I'll try." I said.
"Y/N." Opal said.
"What?" I asked.
"I swear when I get the chance I'm gonna punch him right in his face." TK said.
"No don't do that." I said.
"And why not?" Opal asked.
"Because. Remember what I said about this being my problem, not your guy's." I explained.
"Yes." TK and Opal muttered.
Just then the first class bell rang. We all got up and headed to our seperate classes. I sat down, sighing. At least all the hard stuff is out of the way. After this I get to go home and relax.

It was my last class. I was excited to get home and just play some music and draw. My dad won't be home because of work. And my mom. Steph is heading over to a friends house. So I get the house to myself. I smiled a little.
"All right class. So for the next 2 weeks, we will be doing a huge writing project. I will be assigning you with a study partner and give you each a category of what you'll be writing about. You and your partner have to come up with a 1,000 word essay explaining what your category is about and how it works. The categories are going to be based on species of animals." The teacher explained.
Everyone sighed. I honestly didn't mind writing essays, as long as it wasn't something like a history project. As the teacher assigned people, I didn't pay attention. I was too focused on drawing.
"Y/N and Peter. You will be partners." The teacher said.
My head shot up. I have to work with Peter!? My stomach dropped. I looked over at him. He had his head resting on one of his hands. He glanced at me. I looked back up at the teacher. This was going to end terribly.
