desperate or what?!

chapter 2

"Hey! There you are, take it you spent the night with peter?" My best friend asked. This was Laura. Smart, perky, one of those incredible gorgeous and sexy girls, but hide behind clothes that don't do out for her figure.

"Yep" Was my only reply as we walked down one of the long endless hallways my school holds. I always feels awkward talking to Laura about sex as she has decided to save herself for marriage or if not, at least the right guy.

She always wants to know all the details but I’m just not that kind of girl who as soon as she does it, she goes off and gives all the "deets" to her bezzie.

"So is Peter soft and sweet or is he hard and rough?" Laura asked changing her tone to match the adjective she used.

"Look Laura I've told you before, sex is just sex to me and peter.... well he is just a...... I was going to say distraction but then we would just get into a whole, big discussion about a certain Jeremiah, and in the last year I have plenty of them thank you very much. So I changed the word to student.

(I know a bit weird but I had to think of something off the top of my head)

"Student?" Laura asked questioningly. She knows perfectly well what Peter is and all she wants me to do is admit it. Well tough for her as I’m stubborn.

"Yes student, sharing my wisdom of sex so others can enjoy it properly for themselves". I and Laura were smiling at this point as we both know it was utter crap.

"Anyway.. Moving on.. Luke?" Laura asked.

I let out a sign. Laura's been obsessed with Peter’s best friend Luke. They have been harmlessly flirting back and forth and now Laura wants to kick it up a notch.

"Oh please, just ask peter what Luke thinks of me! It would mean the world I mean what is Luke is the...one" saying the one like a magical word.

I couldn't help but point out how Laura says that they could be the one to pretty much any cute guys she passes. But then I finally gave in and agreed to ask peter as what harm could it do.

"Oh.. Yes, yes, yes! I promise you now that you can be my maid of honour" Laura laughed backing away from me as the bell was telling us to get to class.

"But don't forget! We have to go on a double date first, me, you, peter and ...Luke!" Her voice getting louder the further she got pushed in the crowd of on going students.

Laura's been obsessed over all these years about a perfect double date (she’s been watching to many chick flicks).

Walking into class I noticed someone sat in my usual seat. It was right at the back of the class, near the window but not right next too. I made sure everyone knew that, that seat was mine.

Making my way over, this girl was just sat there staring out the (not that close) window. It took her a second to realise that I was there but still then she didn't look at me.

"I’m sorry, But your sat in my seat" I asked politely

"I think I got here first" Was her response. I couldn't help but envy her wavy cherry red hair. It was so bold and striking that no one could miss her.

"This has been my seat since the semester started and I think everyone in this room would agree that..." I leaned closer to her face and whispered “I’m not a person you want to mess with".

"Well aren’t you cold, hard and bitter this morning". Her being this chirpy at this moment didn't help with my angry. If the teacher hadn't just walked in I probably would have slapped her at the least.

Standing up to be face to face with me she grabbed her jacket and bag while saying "But I think you got it wrong sweetheart, I’m the person you shouldn't be messing with". She gave me one final stern stare before taking a different seat a couple rows down. Her cherry locks bouncing about before her.

No one in this past here has ever stood up to me, or if they had tried to I had always won. But even though I had kinda won because I was the one who sat down in the seat, It was her that had stood her own ground and for the first time this semester I had a little bit of fear in my eyes.

Lunch couldn't have come quick enough. As soon as I walked into the cafeteria I saw Laura hinting at Luke and then at peter. Most of the room saw her as she wasn't doing it subtle I'll tell you. I didn't have to start the convocation off with Luke as peter greeted me and asked me to sit with him.

"So... you know Laura... do you think she's into me?" Luke asked as soon as my bum hit the chair.

"Well, yeah I think you definitely have a shot with him, in fact I think you should ask her out right now". I wanted to show Laura how good a friend I was and plus I knew that she would totally get freaked out, if Luke asked her out now as it would be the least she accepted.

"Really? Do you not think it’s too soon?" (What a boy for you, hesitation)

"If you like her just go for it!" encouragement from peter who sat next to me. He is such a happy go lucky person. I’m surprised I can even stand him.

"Ok..." Tapping his hands against the table in what I expect to be nerves, Luke jumped up and with his final words "I’m going to do it!" he started making his way over to Laura. Who was stood pretending to be pricing up deserts. ( Hahaha sado)

Leaving me and Peter alone to observe. His arm was at the back of my chair and with any other guy I would tell him to get lost (even if we were fooling around) but Peters done it for years even when we weren't going out and even when I had boyfriends.

At first Laura smiled and acted shocked but then shyness washed over her as she accepted. Her usual actions as this was not the first time I had some involvement in a guy asking her out.

It wasn't long before Laura and Luke came back with their arms wrapped around each other. (Wow that didn't take long) As me and peter are such good friends I leaned in and casually whispered, "Bet you they won't last a week".

He flashed a smile and without looking at me said "you’re on". (Maybe there was a little flirting going on I have to admit)

I do no know it all in the relationship department, but I think I could definitely say that we and peter right then in the cafeteria had a moment.

Eyes locked, heart beating faster, yes definitely a moment.

But of course nothing last forever or in my case, more then 5 seconds!

It was some geek from the computer club and peter being a help anyone out kind of guy of course offered to lend him a hand.

 "Sorry babe, but Ill see you tonight remember" He must have seen the disappointment in my eyes as I couldn't help but be a little sad.

He gave me a quick pat on the back. (Yes on the BACK!! no kiss!) He left me with Laura and Luke who were acting like their been dating for years.

And all of a sudden I felt alone yet again.
