Last Chances

Exam Results

I pull up in my usual car parking space outside the house . When the car comes to a stop and no more wind can attack my hair we get out the car.

On my lap was a white a4 envelope holding my before exam paper test results. A gust of wind comes along and almost takes the envelope away with the wind but I manage to grab it just in time.

No no I have to wait for my parent to be here so I can open it with them. I glance at Peter who is sitting in the passenger seat and all I can think off is what happened this morning, the kiss and having my legs around his waist which sets a load of fireworks off inside of me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" he says - his husky voice repeats in my mind

I can feel myself blushing. I quickly pull some hair out from behind my ear in hope that Peter doesn't see my face going the same colour as a tomato. I'm utterly shocked that Peter would want me to be his girlfriend. Everyone loves him at school he can't go anywhere without being recognised. I mean I am okay looking but there is so many other people that is a lot prettier. So why would he settle for someone that was only okay when he could easily have someone much better? Makes no sense to me.

We get out the car and make our way into the house. Peter waits for me until I lock the car. Today everything seems brighter and happier. Peter drapes his arm over my shoulder pulling me into his side. I can't help but take a step back. He puts his arm back down to his waist.

"What if my dad sees?" I say

"Your dad isn't even here.... And anyway you are my girlfriend now anyway."

I can't help but grin like an idiot.

Slowly he lifts his hands to cup my face and gently rubs my cheek with his thumb.

"You do know that your dad is going to find out about us soon then why don't you tell him?"

"I will when exam season is over and when I have got given my results I will" I say.

Emily, Peter we are home we want to see the results.

"Coming we are just in the kitchen" I shout back to them.

Quickly he turns to me, looking softly in my eyes. "Good luck" he says

"You too" I say back with a smile on my face.

My results were all A's.

I would scream of happiness but I don't want Peter to think I am weirder than he already thinks. After I had opened the envelope I gave my mum and dad a hug and they said that they were very proud of me. 

I walked up the spiral staircase towards Peters room where he was with his parents so I went to my bedroom instead of interrupting. I can't stop looking at the papers in my hand, all A's how did I manage that? I scream inside with happiness. I walked into my room and placed the envelope on the white unit sitting in the corner of the room. 

Instantly my head turns towards the door when I hear three knocks at the door. Without thinking "come in" It was Peter. 

"So"

"So what?"

"What did you get?"  he asks 

"Tell me what you get first then I will tell you what I got" I say.

"I got five A's he says" he replies rather smugly with a slight smirk on his face. 

"Your clever I never knew that" I say in response.
