Movie?

The new teacher

It has been a week since the teacher's conference when Peter and I had a moment. The night was great, we danced and chatted but it has been a little awkward since and I caught him glancing at me from time to time and going red in the cheeks. It makes my heart flutter but I knew it would be wrong if we made our friendship into something more.

We sat in the lunch room and Peter sat next to me with his blue lunch bag. He opened it, took out a homemade ham and cheese sandwich, and then another. He looked up at me and said "I made you one, you never have lunch and you look hungry" I smiled at him and he looked so innocent, his leg was shaking on the floor and he was looking at me with his beautiful eyes.

 " Wow Peter, that's so nice of you of course," I say joyfully as I reach out for the sandwich he made for me which was carefully wrapped in glad wrap and with that really nice bread and a lot of care. I unwrapped it and he was biting down on his sandwich and looking up at me occasionally.

"Grace!, that looks like a nice sandwich!" A new teacher Cory from the pe department walked to our table. His blond hair glistens in the light and his straight teeth shine as he smiles delightfully at me. He plopped himself onto a chair on the other side of the table from Peter and me. 

"Cory, this is Peter, from the maths department" I glance at Peter and he wipes his hand on his trousers and shakes Cory's hand from the other side of the table. " Nice to meet you Pete" Cory's voice is a lot more louder and confident than Pete's quiet and calming voice. 

There was an awkward silence and Pete looked so adorable eating his lunch. " So, ugh, grace ?" Peter starts to speak. Cory blurts over and he had his phone out "Grace I saw this restaurant with these burgers that are apparently amazing, and I heard you really like burgers, so would you like to go this Friday?"

 I could feel the tension, I could tell Peter felt left out "Oh, you mean Peter and I go with you ?" Cory looked shocked and thought for a bit,  I could feel Peter gazing in disbelief.

" Umm, that's not what I had in mind but you could tag along Pete," Cory says pushing back his hair uncomfortably 

" It's ok, you guys should go, I think I'd feel a bit in the way and my little cousin has a footy match that night," he says with a smirk then looking down at his sandwich 

" Your call mate !" Cory adjusts himself toward me " I guess it's just you and me" he winks and I feel uncomfortable " yeah " I smirk 

Cory says goodbye and walks away 

"Burgers?"  Peter questions

" Yes" I  laugh

" I am more of  a pizza guy " Peter states 

" Well you're weird" I point at him jokingly 

"So um- do you like him?" he blurts out

I ponder 

"No, I don't know if I'll go, he's a bit too sporty and cocky for me "

Peter grins softly " I had a feeling" 

" Oh really! , you know me that well!" I nudge him 

Peter sighs and looks really deep into my eyes, I feel my heart racing 

"Yeah I think I do," he says softly 

We catch ourselves acting that way then twist ourselves back to the table and eat our sandwiches
