I felt the panic rise through my body. What has Peter Said about me? Everything ran through my head all at once giving me possibly the biggest head ache I’d ever had. It felt like hours since Cody had stopped talking again but I knew that it was only a matter of seconds.
“He told me some of the things that you’ve been saying about me.” He replied. He sounded really hurt. Did I say anything about Cody that I wouldn’t have wanted him to hear? No, I didn’t so what was Peter talking about. “He told me that you think that I’m a man whore. He told me that you’ve been going around telling everyone my story and about how much of a sick bastard I must be for beating someone up for no reason. He also told me that you said that I’m a waster for getting high and drunk.”
I was taken back. Peter really said all of these things. Is he really that angry that I’ve made a friend? Does he think that if Cody leaves me I’ll come running back to him and Lily and we can all be best friends again? I don’t think so. Now when I think of it I haven’t heard from Lily all that much, it had been Peter who has been doing all of the medalling. I didn’t know what to say and Cody took my silence the wrong way.
“I knew it. So it’s true then? I knew I couldn’t trust you so easily, everything was too much of dream that I knew there had to be something up with it all. So what is it you want? Huh? No one tries to get a ‘celebrities’ attention and trust unless that want something.” He said all in one breathe. I could tell that he was fighting back tears and I didn’t know what to do to comfort him. He had his mind set that I had said all of those things so how was I to defend myself.
“I don’t want anything” I whispered so quietly I wasn’t sure whether he heard me. He just turned over so that his back was towards me and I took that as my sign to leave him alone for a little while. I want to go for a run. I got up of the bed and pulled out a pair of leggings and a sports bra and pulled them on. I grabbed my trainers and my iPod and earphones and closed the door softly behind me. I told my mum I was going out and just left.
I began pounding on the pavement. The sound was familiar and it comforted me through all of this upset emotions that I was feeling. Why would Peter do this to me? I didn’t know the answer to that but I was going to find out and why was Lily not sticking up for me. When me and Peter had little petty fights when we were younger she always took my side but this time she’s no where to be seen and it made me wonder what had happened to all of the history between us. It had all fallen apart over one person with a bad past.
Wait. How does Peter know about what happened in America with Cody? I didn’t tell him and I’m sure as hell that Cody doesn’t want anyone to know. This kid is up to something and I was going to find out what it was.
Through all of my hard thinking I found myself lying on the ground. What happened? I looked up to see a petite figure standing above me asking me if I was ok but I was too dazed to answer. I sat up and saw that the person who I had run into was Alli.
“Are you okay?” she asked one more time and this time I was able to answer.
“Uhh...Yeah are you?” I asked slowly making sure not to stumble over my words.
“Yeah I’m fine” she laughed “I’m so sorry I wasn’t looking where I was going while I was running”
Now when I take a good look at her I see that we look exactly the same. Black leggings and sports bra, White trainers, hair tied up, iPod and earphones and the sweat dripping off us. I laughed.
“It’s my fault too. I was deep in thought” I said. “I didn’t know that you ran?”
“Yeah well I only do it when I’m upset or something like that and I guess I am upset right now.” She sighed. I was more like this girl than I thought.
“Same” I said. “What are you upset about?”
“Cody” was all she had to say “What about you?”
“Would it be weird if I said the same thing?” I asked laughing.
“What happened?” she asked looking concerned.
“Well one of my best guy friends is upset that I’ve made another friend so he told Cody that I said a pile of stuff about him when I didn’t. Now Cody won’t talk to me.” I sighed.
“Uhh...he’ll come around when he realises that you’re not the type of person to backstab” she comforted me.
“Yeah well I’m pretty sure Peter is up to something but I don’t know how I would find out”
“I’ll help you.” She said. “Cody may have had a bad couple of years but that doesn’t mean that I’ll let someone mess with him...or you”
“You sure? You don’t have to get in the middle of it.” I said.
“No I wanna help it’ll take my mind of things but we can’t tell Cody” she warned.
“No I won’t tell him” I confirmed. We ran back to her house and laughed the whole way. I can tell I’m going to be good friends with her. I told her everything about Peter and we wondered what we were going to do about him and how we were going to keep Cody in the dark about it all. I knew it was going to be hard job but I could do it. All I had to do now what to get him to talk to me again.
