Freshman Year

Chapter17

A few hours later my mother finally rescued me from the impending doom and embarrassment I was going through while at the Wolfe residence. I sat quietly on the short car ride home and thought about everything that had happened tonight. I couldn't believe that Peter was so willing to open up to me.

"So did you have a good time tonight?" my mom asked me. It took me a minute to realize that she was talking to me but once I shook the haze I was in I answered right away.

"Yeah, Peter and I are actually getting pretty close lately. Its really nice." I told her truthfully. She just didn't need to know I meant physically just as much as emotionally.

It was silent for the rest of the ride and finally we pulled into the driveway. Once out of the car I schlepped all of my school stuff up into my room and dropped it next to my dark wooden desk by the window. Finally I plopped down on my bed and let out a huge huff of air. Today had been exhausting and yet exhilarating all at the same time. I almost had my first kiss, and with Peter Wolfe nonetheless! I grabbed my phone out of my back pocket and opened a new text.

JEnnIe!1! SOS HELP NOW PLEASE AND THANK YOU!

I wrote to her in attempts of getting her attention. I looked over to my radio clock and saw that it was only 10:37pm. There was no shot she was asleep so I should be getting a text back any second. As expected my phone went of nearly seconds later.

What do you want now lovebug : )

She wrote sarcastically. I rolled my eyes and chuckled a bit. She tried so hard to hate me sometimes even though she really couldn't.

Hey drama queen I have news! Its about the Wolfe man!!

I told her hoping this would make her take me seriously for about five seconds. I was proven right about a minute later when instead of a text back from her my phone blared my ringtone. I laughed and picked up quickly. "Hey drama queen how has your afternoon gone?" I asked her laughing under my breath. She scoffed and cut to the chase.

"Oh no. Don't be giving me any of that crap. You need to speak and speak now. What happened with you guys tonight?!" she squealed out over the phone. I laughed at her reaction and then took a deep breath to prepare for the torture I was signing myself up for.

"Okay, so basically when I was over there today he tried to kiss me. I think it was gonna happen if it weren't for his mom walking in on us.." I trailed off to Jenny. I waited for the screaming I was sure to come. I didn't expect to have to pull the phone from my ear though. She was really loud. "Thanks Jennie, I think you just blew out my eardrum." I told her while rubbing my ear a bit until the ringing subsided.

"Sorry...but I mean come on V this is so huge! Why did he do that?!" she screamed. Then I remembered I couldn't actually tell her what happened because then she would know that Peter and I weren't a real couple and I would be breaking our rules. Plus, she didn't know about our bet so I would have to come out and tell her.

"Oh yeah I forgot to tell you that part. Umm well, Peter kinda sorta...well Peter asked me out..." I told her meekly. I took the phone away from my ear this time knowing the damage that would occur if I didn't. When she was done screaming her head off I placed the phone back by my ear to talk.

"V! Oh my God! This is huge!" she squealed, "I can't believe this! You're dating Peter Wolfe! My little V is all grown up. I don't know what to say." She joked. I chuckled and then remembered that this would only be going on for a week.
