Y/n's academic rival Peter visits her as she hasn't been in school for the past couple days.

"I'm going to hand out the marked exams from last week. A reminder than anything under 65 is a fail."
As Ms Warren placed my paper down in front of me, my pounding heart stopped as I saw the 98/100. Thank fuck.
"So, I really don't think you're gonna beat-" I turned to meet the eyes of my enemy but her chair was empty.
wait. where is she?
Y/n and I had been rivals pretty much since the day she joined midtown high.
I remember 2 years ago when she was the first ever person to beat me in an exam. I remember the smug smirk she wore as she displayed her score. I remember the way she reacted a week later when I beat her score; the heavy breathing and the rosy cheeks. I got an extreme kick out of it.
This was the first day shed missed a day of school. And I...hated it? I wanted her here.
To rub my score in her face of course.
2 days later
My knee bounced up and down rapidly as I impatiently watched the door.
30 seconds until the bell.
She could just be late, right?
10 seconds until the bell.
Cmon, y/n.
RING RING RING
it's been 3 days since she's been absent, I can't take it anymore. I don't miss her I just, I don't like change. She's been the one person who's been in my life every single day.
I have to see her.
y/n's pov
Having the flu is not fun. Like, REALLY not fun. I haven't left my room in a few days and have absolutely nothing to do. Today is a better day, I'm feeling better but still not well enough to go to school. Which I miss, I miss rubbing my scores in Parkers face. Dickhead, I hate him. But what I would give to see that weirdly handsome face right now.
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK
"Mum im okay, I don't need anymore soup but thank you!" I called out hoarsely and snuggled back into my duvet.
"How dare you deny soup from your mother?"
That's not my mums voice...I turned slowly to see Parker. But not the Parker I know; tight white shirt, grey joggers, brown curls let loose and holding a bag from Delmars. Oh and he's smirking. Fuck, what is happening?!
My eyes widened, for multiple reasons, and I quickly pulled my blanket over my head.
"What the hell are you doing here?!" I practically squealed.
"What do you think? Making you better dumbass." He chuckled and i felt the bed rock as he sat down.
"Well I'm fine, you can go." I huffed, annoyed that he was here and being all cute.
Seriously, what is happening?!
"Y/n you've never missed school ever. Trust me, I know. Now stop being stupid and come out from under there." I could feel Peter tug at the fabric but I yanked it back with an almighty force.
"I look horrid. Please just go, thank you but I'm fine."
"Oh shut up you look gorgeo-"
I actually heard Parker's voice catch in his throat.
"So, um, I got you a hot sandwich from Delmars because it fixes everything. Obviously and I brought you exam marked from last week-"
I jolted up and snatched it from his hands.
97.
"Fuck yes! What did you get? Did I beat you?" I grinned with raised eyebrows.
He stared at me for a few seconds and chuckled.
"Yeah. Yeah you did."
"Yes! In your face Parker!" I laughed and lightly tapped his cheeks.
"Yeah yeah whatever, now eat your sandwich." He took the amazing smelling sandwich out of its wrapper and handed it to me. I was starving, immediately taking a bite. The best bite of my life, my eyes rolled back in pure delight.
"Oh my god." I groaned.
"So you're better now? You coming into school tomorrow?" Peter questioned, brushing my hair out of my face and away from the sandwich. The touch made a warm feeling spread through my body.
"Awww you missing me parker?" I scrunched my nose, teasing.
"Yeah actually..."
My heart pounded as he stared into my eyes longingly, pupils dilated so much his eyes were practically black.
"...I um, I totally missed shoving my test scores in your face." He cleared his throat and smirked.
Why did my heart just sink a little?
"Oh yeah of course, I bet it's easy with me home. No competition for Mr Smartass."
"Exactly, It feels odd without Mrs Smartass there."
We both glared at each other like we do when I'm class. Except this time, we both burst out laughing.
The rest of the evening, he laid with me and we talked and talked and talked. Talked until I fell asleep on his strong shoulder.
