Just Add Water

Chapter 7

[Peter]

After slamming the door shut, I crossed my arms and headed to the library for some peace and quiet. However, I was not expecting Eric to be waiting for me when I got there.

After walking through the door, it shut behind me, and I jumped at the sudden noise. I looked back to see what it was and narrowed my eyebrows to see Eric leaning against the wall, arms crossed.

"What do you want?" I asked him, rolling my eyes.

Uncrossing his arms, his walked towards me saying, "I want you to stop."

"Stop what?"

"Just stop. Stop trying to get Danielle. Stop trying to be there for her. Stop trying to be more to her."

My eyes widened, and my heart beat sped up a little. How did he know? "I don't know what your talking about," I lied.

"It's so obvious. Maybe not to her, but to everyone else, it is. You should just do us all a favor and stop trying to be the prince swooping her off her feet. That job's already taken."

"I'm not trying to be anything to her, so you should stop assuming things about other people."

"Listen, Peter, your job is to stay in the zone. The friend zone that is. Danielle will never like you because she's already falling for me. Soon we'll get married and rule this place together, and you'll still be that little guard boy stuck in the friend zone. For all we know, your the one who drugged her and pushed her out the window!"

"First of all, I was working my butt off trying to find her and make sure that she was save. My whole life that's what I've done-"

"And that's all your ever gonna do. Wake up and smell the roses." He got up real close to my face, and he was so close that his hot breath invaded my face. "There's a new king in town."

The rage inside me exploded, and I let loose. I planned on doing everything I wanted to do ever since he got here. I threw my fist at his head, but he ducked and kicked my left leg.

I dropped to the ground and fortunately dodged a kick. Quickly, I got up and prepared myself to tackle him to the ground. He shoved me back into the bookshelf, and a bunch of book came flying down. I guarded my head from the impact as he laughed and walked out of the room. My blood boiled my veins, and my eyes narrowed. This was pre-determined. Destined to happen.

I pick myself up from the ground, brushing off the dirt that clung to my shoulders and said, "This means war."

Things between Eric and Peter got tense! This definitely escalated quickly!

What did you think?

Any theories on what would happen?

Sorry if this part sounds a little cliché! I was trying not to make it cliché. If I failed oh well. Hopefully there will be a new update soon!
