Goth Boy Peter~ [Peter x Fem Reader]

Chapter 21

>2 days later<

I'm sitting in my 4th period with TK. He finally got out of ISS (in school suspension). And same with Peter. I don't know what happened to Arthur, but I don't care. The bells rings, and I head to our lunch table as TK gets food from the lunch line. Once he finally sits down, I start talking to him about what happened. I tell him about what Arthur did, and he holds my hand when he hears my voice start to shake. I tell him about how Peter came out of nowhere and beat the shit out of Arthur.

🪻: "I just don't understand why he would come down there. His locker isn't near mine, and it's a dead end.."

🍵: I squeeze her hand gently as I scoot closer to her. "Do you think he was looking for you?"

🪻: "But why would he? He hates me. Why would he go out of his way to stand up for me? Let alone beat up a guy for me? It doesn't make sense.." I sigh as I lean back against the wall.

🍵: "H-Have you ever thought that he doesn't hate you..?"

🪻: "No cause I know that's not true, and it never will be.. You see how he treats me? The things he calls me?"

🍵: "But it's only reasonable that he'll do those things for you if he didn't hate you.. I hate to say it, Y/N, but he might like you.."

🪻: My brows furrow in disbelief, and I can feel my face get red a little. "What!? No! Don't say that, TK! You know that's absurd. Plus, why would he like me? There's no reason to.."

🍵: "What's absurd is that you don't think there's any reason to like you. You're beautiful, funny, talented, hard-working, and kind, and you have an addicting laugh. That's plenty of reasons to like you.." I realize I said too much. I can feel my cheeks burn with blush as I speak. I look back at my tray, trying to hide my blush and hoping she doesn't catch on.

🪻: My eyes widen a little, and my heart flutters. "R-Really?.. Y-You think I'm all that?"

🍵: "I don't think, I know.. You're amazing.." I say softly

🪻: I smile warmly, and I quickly wrap my arms around his neck as I hug him tightly. "You're the most amazing friend I've ever had, TK.. I don't deserve you.."

🍵: My heart skips a beat when she suddenly hugs me, and I melt into her arms. I wrap my arms around her waist and hug her back. My heart breaks a little when she says friend.. I wish she knew how much I love and adore her. I sigh softly before pulling away after a few seconds.

🪻: I lean back against the wall again as I bring my knees to my chest. "Another thing I don't understand is that.. he smiled at me before he was taken away.. His face was covered in Arthur's blood. A-And he just.. smiled at me.. a dark, creepy smile.." I get chills thinking about it. I rub my face and try to forget it.

🍵: I tilt my head in confusion. That's actually really creepy.. "Huh.. that's weird.. Well, considering it's Peter, it doesn't really surprise me. He probably enjoyed beating Arthur.. Sadistic freak.." I say the last part under my breath. "Don't think too much about it.. He's not worth the space in your head.." I say bluntly before going back to eating my lunch.

🪻: I sigh and close my eyes. He's probably right. He usually is.. but his smile is just engraved in my brain.. "Yea.. I-It's not the first time something like this has happened.. Well, I mean him showing up out of nowhere.. not beating someone up.."
