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

Chapter 22: Jealousy

Y/N POV

As soon as the bell for lunch rang, I ran to the lunchroom, sat down, and pulled out my laptop. I opened Google docs and began writing the essay. I know me and Peter didn't finish the rest of the section together... But I did read ahead and write down some notes. Thursday was our due date. I know we had today and wednesday, but it'd be nice to get it done soon. Just then Opal sat down beside me.
  "Writing the essay by yourself?" She asked, frowning.
  "Yeah, I'm just starting it. Plus, I had told Peter when we started I'd write the essay." I explained.
Opal raised a brow and only seemed to frown more.
  "I'd make him do it if I were you." She said.
  "I like writing essays, thank you very much. Plus, can't you be happy he chose to help." I said, frowning back.
  "Ok." Opal said.
TK sat down across from us. They looked slightly ticked off or irritated.
  "What's wrong?" I asked.
  "I fucking hate that goth kid." TK growled.
  "What did he do? Did he hurt you?" I asked, panicked that maybe they got in a fight.
  "He came up to me and grabbed me by my hood, freaking me the hell out. He wanted to know where you were. I don't know why he seems so fucking obsessed with you, but it's kinda weird." TK explained.
  "I'll... He was probably just worried for me." I stuttered.
  "Why would he all of a sudden care about you? Is there something that you aren't telling me and Opal? Because as soon as you 2 started studying together, he seemed to become a lot nicer to you." TK said.
Maybe I should tell Opal and TK we're dating. They are my friends and deserve to know. But what if Peter doesn't want anyone to know? I sighed.
  "Ok fine. Me and Peter... Are dating." I said, looking down.
  "What?!" Opal said, shocked.
  "Yeah. I mean, I only asked him out last night. So technically it's not even been 24 hours. But, still." I said.
  "Well there's my answer to that. Is there anything else you've been hiding from us?" TK asked.
I shook my head.
  "Thanks for being honest with us." Opal said.
Just then Peter sat down next to me.
  "Hey." I said, looking over at him with a smile.
  "Sup." He muttered.
  "So... Peter..." TK said.
  "TK." I growled.
  "Y/N told us that you 2 are a thing. You better fucking treat her with the respect she deserves." TK said.
Peter just glared at them.
  "TK enough! We don't need to turn every little damn thing into an argument." I said.
  "You're just jealous she chose me over you." Peter said, smirking.
  "What was that you little shit?" TK said, standing up.
  "Oh here we go now." Opal muttered.
  "I'm just being honest." Peter said.
  "You really think I'm jealous? If I was gonna date Y/N, I would have asked her out. She's my friend. And I only want the best for her. So if you treat her like an asshole, I'll fucking hurt you." TK explained.
  "Heh... Try me." Peter growled.
I closed my laptop and stood up.
  "You 2 need to cut it out! Mostly you, TK. I don't understand why YOU are so controlling about what happens to ME. I'm old enough to make my own choices. I may not have parents to guide me, but I'm not fucking stupid. And I don't know why you hate Peter so much. He's apologized to me and stopped being mean. But you still seem to hate him." I explained.
  "Y/N! Do you not see how much of a freak he is! How he threatens to kill people! He has problems! He's not right in the head! Fuck, he's insane." TK said.
I growled in anger.
  "Peter... Let's leave." I said.
Peter stood up.
  "Y/N. TK doesn't mean it." Opal said.
  "I absolutely fucking mean it." TK said.
  "TK. Let's not fight. We all should apologize." Opal said.
  "Yeah, TK. We shouldn't fight." I said.
  "I don't see why you think I'm a psychopath. I've changed, TK." Peter said.
  "Bull shit! And if you guys expect me to apologize to that goth freak, you're insane." TK said.
TK turned and walked away.
  "You're right. They are just jealous." I said.
  "Y/N. Their just in a bad mood." Opal said.
I sighed. She's probably right.
  "You're right. I'll be right back." I said, chasing after TK.
Once I caught up to them, I grabbed their hand.
  "TK I'm sorry! I didn't mean to yell at you." I said.
They looked back at me.
  "Y/N... I'm sorry if I seem controlling over you. I just... I don't want you to... I don't know how to explain it. I understand you don't have the best home life. And I don't want Peter to... Take advantage of you. Or manipulate you. And hurt you. Ok? I want you to be happy." TK said.
  "I know. And he's been treating me fine. I'll be fine. I know you are only trying to help me. I need to just not get so mad over it." I explained.
They nodded. I hugged them. I felt horrible for flipping out on them. They hugged me back.
  "You are my best friend, TK. And you always have been. I'm glad to have you in my life." I said.
  "Same here, Y/N." TK said.

Peter's POV

I snarled in frustration as I watched Y/N hug TK. TK was getting on my fucking nerve. This is the last time I let this pass. But if I see TK's fucking hands on Y/N again, they are gonna fucking die.
