Teachers Conference

Peter's POV

I tighten my maths tie with all the numbers of pi up to my neck and lace up my dress shoes. Tonight is the WA high school teachers conference but all the teachers know to dress up nice and get ready to dance!

*2 days ago*

" Uh-um , are you going to the conference in a couple of days" I said awkwardly

" Y-yeah I am, do we have to dress up for it?" She said as she tucked away her loose strand from her bun she stuck through with a pen

"I think you would look pretty stupid if you didn't, " I said

" Alright, mister experienced! I will dress up then if you reckon it is frowned upon if you don't "

" Do you need me to pick you up or anything?" I said suddenly which shocked both of us after a bit of an awkward pause 

" Actually, I'd really love that, my friend, You know Amelia right?" she smirks and her dimples show, she looks so gorgeous and breathtaking 

"Are you ok?" she swipes her hand over my face to wake me up

SHOOT! I got caught looking at her lips, come up with an excuse Peter!!!

" Ok, I'll pick you up at 7:30!" I pace towards my car to hide my cheeks from going too red

" Ok wierdo!" she yells as I run away 

*Saturday night*

Grace gave me her address and she lives quite close to me which was nice 

I looked in my mirror by the door of my house before I left 

" Be cool, play hard to get, wait don't do that" I mumble 

"Just be you Peter, and if she doesn't like that then that's that"

I arrived and leapt out of the car, adjusting my tie and walking up to a cottage-looking house 

Flowers sprawled around the door frame of a half-painted red door

I pressed the doorbell and a voice echoed through the house " Coming Peter! the door is open"

I opened the door and walked down the warm-toned hallway with photos of her with her friends and family on the walls, I couldn't help but smile and my heart melted when I saw a photo of her and her family.

I walked around a corner-

" Peter " I hear her soft voice echo and her voice sounded stressed 

" Hey is everything ok? Grace? " I look into the room to my left and she stood there in a breathtaking blue dress.

We lock eyes and my eyes widened in shock at how beautiful she looked, not hiding my emotions anymore 

" You look beautiful" I smirk

Her face turns red "Thank you, I am not really ready yet, could you help me with this necklace? I can't really get the clasp" 

I nod and awkwardly walk behind her, I take the necklace from her hands and our fingertips touch which makes my heart pump out of my chest. I get the clasp and I can hear her subtle breaths quiver. I let go and say " there you go"

" Thanks, Peter"

"Are you ok? you seem a little shaky" I ask in a worried tone 

She turns around and looks into my eyes, her smile fades into a frown and she puts her hand on her forehead weeping. 

" Hey hey hey Grace it's ok" I say as I take her and hold her into a soft hug 

" I am so worried " she cries in my arms 

"Why?" I ask

" I look ridiculous, I dressed up way too much, people are going to think I want something or someone" she still says in my arms 

" What are you talking about! look at me! I've got a maths tie and shiny dress shoes! you look amazing " I smile 

She looks into my eyes with a confused look and then looks down at my tie 

" OH MY GOD! what IS that tie !?" She laughs and smiles, and she laughed the most genuine laugh  I  have ever heard, I made her laugh!

" You look handsome though," she says while touching my tie, my heart melts and I feel my cheeks going bright red,  but I don't care though she said I look handsome!
