Peter/YB X Female Reader // One Temptation // DISCONTINUED

Chapter 3: Mushroom Girl

Peter's POV

The rest of the day dragged on. But once the final bell rang, I got up and basically ran to my locker, opening it up and grabbing my stuff. I shut it but nearly jumped as I saw Sarah just standing there.
  "Scared you~" She teased.
  "No you didn't, slut." I mutter.
  "Anyway, I wanna use the van tonight to go to the movies with my friends. There's this new anime out and-" I cut her off before she could start babbling.
  "You use it tonight, you don't get it this weekend, got it?" I say, pulling out the keys.
  "What! Why not!? It's not like you go anywhere. You sit around and do jack shit!" Sarah shouted, making a pouty face at the end.
  "It doesn't matter. Either it's a deal or you're walking to the theater." I said, shoving the keys into her hand.
  "Fine asshole." Sarah growled, pushing past me and walking towards the exit.
I huff and go to find TK. I find them sitting in the cafeteria, talking to one of the kids from the band. The guy notices me and says goodbye to TK before speed walking away. TK looked over at me with a frown.
  "What?" I ask.
  "Did you do something?" They asked.
  "Tch no. He's just a pussy." I say.
  "Anyways, what do you want? Normally you are gone by now." TK asked.
  "I'll be outside your window at 11:30pm, got it?" I said.
  "Ugh Peter... I still don't know if I wanna do this." TK said, standing up.
  "Do what?" A voice said.
Me and TK looked over and there stood a girl. Or as the school calls her, the mushroom girl.
  "Oh hey Amelia. We were just talking about... Uh..." TK said, becoming flustered.
  "Cryptid hunting." I said.
TK looked over at me with a glare. Clearly they were embarrassed to just tell someone that.
  "Cryptid hunting? Cool! Can I come?" She said, her interest perking.
  "No." I say.
  "Yes! Yes you can! We were going to the local park tonight around 11:30pm-12amish." TK said, once again lying.
  "No, we're going to the creepy old guys place." I said, glaring at TK.
  "Ooo~ Even better! I heard he owns 350 acres of fields and woods. And I could bring my basket and mushroom collect while you 2 hunt." She said, seemingly excited.
And now you know why this girl is called mushroom girl. She is obsessed with mushrooms. Fuck, her outfits were always mushroom themed or moreso cottage core aesthetic. And I'm sure this is the girl TK likes due by the face their giving her.
  "Great! I've always been interested in... Mushroom picking." TK said.
  "Really!? Awesome! I have a whole book about mushrooms in this state, so we know how to tell the differences between toxic ones and edible ones." Amelia said.
  "Oh wow cool!" TK said.
  "We'll see you at your place then." I mutter, walking away.
  "Ok. Cya Pete." TK said.
  "Bye Peter!" Amelia said, waving.
I look over my shoulder with a glare. I then exit the school, making my way home. I was kinda ticked that TK had to go invite her. But whatever. If this is the girl TK likes, I ain't gonna cause problems. Once I got home, I went into my room, lying down on my bed with a sigh. I looked over and saw Rat perched on her log in her cage.
  "Heya girl." I murmured, rolling over to face the cage fully.
She flicked her tongue out. I chuckled to myself. Just then my phone buzzed and I saw TK had texted saying that Amelia planned on meeting us there. I just sent back a thumbs up emoji. I then groaned in annoyance. I hated having to deal with other people. Especially mushroom girl. She was so weird and always super energetic. If TK likes her then I have no clue how since TK is laid back and chill.

I made my way to TK's place. It was around 11:30pm. I made it to TK's place and walked around to the back of the house, going up to their window. I knocked on it and they opened the curtain and unlocked the window, sliding it up and jumping out. They then turned around and shut it before facing me again.
  "Alright, let's go." They said with a smile on their face.
  "What's got you in a good mood?" I mutter as we walk back around the house and down the street.
  "Excited to go. Why?" TK asked.
  "It's just when I was talking about it, you were oh so scared and nervous about getting caught, but now that mushroom girl is coming you're like... Excited." I explain.
  "Mushroom girl?" TK murmurs and looks at me with confusion.
  "Amelia or whatever the weirdos name is." I say with a sigh.
  "Oh yeah... Why the hell you calling her mushroom girl?" They asked.
  "That's what everyone at school calls her." I said.
  "All because of her likes? Don't you think that's pretty mean, Peter?" TK asked with a frown.
  "I get called goth boy, emo, cutting board, and more. So don't even." I say bluntly.
  "Oh... Right." TK said, remembering.
  "Anyways... Do you like her?" I ask.
  "You'll keep your mouth shut or I'll kill you and bury you 6 feet deep in those woods tonight, got it?" TK said.
  "Ok. So I'm guessing yes." I said with a teasing smirk.
TK rolled their eyes and looked away.
  "Obviously, asshole." They say.
  "Knew it." I mutter with a grin.
