You were sat in your science class, staring blankly at the board trying to make sense of the numbers and symbols written in black pen. You loved science usually but today you were distracted. Nothing was making sense to you, they were simply numbers, symbols and letters written in black on a white background.
"Y/N, do you have an answer for us?" Your teacher snapped you back into reality. You stared directly at her, unknowing of the question. A panicked expression on your face as you tried so hard to remember any words that had escaped her lips.
"Um..." You spoke, trying to give yourself some time to think.
"Peter, care to help Y/N?" She looked to the boy who sat next to you. You hadn't noticed that there was someone sat next to you today. You were usually sat at the double bench alone, occasionally joined by MJ but never Peter before.
"Um, Deoxyribonucleic Acid." He replied and received the praise of the teacher.
"Well done Peter, maybe you should start listening Y/N." She spoke, you were ready to protest but realised it wasn't worth it so you nodded before going back to your notes.
Peter looked over to you for a few minutes and you could feel his eyes on you but decided not to look up, continuing to take your notes as your hair fell onto the paper next to you.
Eventually you looked up at him and instead of him looking away, he smiled. A genuine, kind smile. Not like the fake ones that many people held on their faces towards you, a real one.
"Can I help you?" You snapped at him, instantly regretting it as his innocent face contorted to a sort of sadness.
"Sorry, I was just," He started to speak, a pinky blush rose to his cheeks. "I was."
"I didn't mean to snap it's okay. You don't have to explain yourself!" You smiled before going back to your notes.
"I-I'm Peter by the way!" He spoke again.
"Y/N."
"Do you need any help with anything?" He asked kindly.
"I mean generally, no. But today, yes, I can't understand anything. I can't focus." You explained and he nodded, showing you what you were supposed to be doing.
"It makes sense now. Thank you so much Pete." You smiled.
"Hey, you want to get food after school?" He asked to which you smiled and nodded.
A/N: it's been a while! Hope you've all had a lovely Christmas (if you celebrate it) and a wonderful New Year! I've had a huge writers block but I'm slowly making a come back so hopefully there will be more updates soon. Thank you if you're still reading this book. Xx
