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

Chapter 15: Apology

Y/N POV

It had been a few hours since we got boba. We had already hit up most of the stores. Peter seemed to be enjoying my company. He was a lot more talktive then he's ever been.
  "Anywhere else ya wanna stop?" I asked.
  "Not really." He said.
  "Wanna head back to my place and maybe study?" I asked.
  "Sure." He said.
We headed towards the mall exit.
  "I wanted to say sorry for being a dick to you, by the way..." He muttered.
  "Huh?" I said, looking over at him in confusion.
  "You know... Forcing you to do my work... And sometimes beating you..." He said, looking over at me.
  "Oh it's fine. I forgive you. Plus, we're teenagers. We're gonna have our ups and downs. Heh..." I said.
  "Yeah. You're right, nerd." He said, chuckling.
Just then he reached over and grabbed my hand. I turned bright red. I smiled a little though and just held his hand back.
  "Hey, would you wanna hang out with me, TK, and Opal at homecoming, friday?" I asked.
  "Your friends aren't gonna want me there." He said.
  "But... You're my friend so they kinda gotta deal with it...." I said.
  "Up to you. I'm free then." He said.
  "Ok." I said, smiling.
We got to my car and got in, driving to my house. My sister wasn't home. Must be at her friends or boyfriends or whatever. Mom was at work and so was dad. We headed into my house and to my room. I moved my laptop off my desk and pulled out my studying stuff.
  "Damn it... I forgot what page we endee at." I said, flipping through the textbook.
  "Wasn't it like 115?" He asked, looking over my shoulder.
I kinda froze, not really noticing how close he was to me. He reached over and flipped to page 115.
  "Oh yeah. You're right." I said, laughing a little.
I was surprised he remembered.
  "Lucky guess." He said, chuckling.
He walked over and sat down on my bed.
  "Well then. I honestly have no clue when any of my family memebers will be home, and I assume you don't have a specific time you gotta be be home so... How about we read from 115 to... Um... 158? I know that's not much, but I don't feel like reading 800 pages today." I said, looking over my shoulder at Peter.
  "You don't feel like reading? What type of drugs are you on, nerd?" He asked, laughing.
I laughed a little too.
  "I don't know. A lot." I said, jokingly.
  "You mind if I step outside for a smoke break first?" He asked.
  "Oh sure. Go for it." I said.
He gave me a thumbs up, standing up.
  "You mind if I join ya?" I asked.
  "Oh... You smoke?" He asked.
  "Nah. I mean, I have sometimes stolen a few of my moms and sisters... But that' was like 1 or 2 times, because I was interested in trying it." I stuttered.
  "Oh mk. Sure." He said.
We stepped outside and he pulled out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket. He opened it and pulled out 2, handing me one. He lit his and then lit mine. After a few minutes, we headed back inside and started to study.

  "Well, I should probably head out." Peter said.
  "Ok. Well, it was nice to hang out with you." I said.
He stood up.
  "Yeah. Same here. I'll see you at school tomorrow, nerd." He said, smirking.
  "Same here, goth boy." I said, smirking back.
He chuckled.
  "Did you need a ride home?" I asked.
  "Nah. I'm fine." He said.
  "Ok. Cya." I said.
He nodded and exited. After I heard the front door of my house shut, I let out a happy sigh. Yup... I think I like him...
