NOTICE ME : A Peter Kavinsky Story

Biology is Stupid!

"What's Mitosis again?" Peter asked me as he leaned his head on the palm of his hand on the side of the table looking at me with confusion again after I had already explained it to him fifteen times.

I let out a annoyed sigh but still repeated myself again, only because it was Peter.

"Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus, typical of ordinary tissue growth"

I said as he just looked at me nodding his head he still wasn't catching on, "ugh Biology is stupid!" He said I could tell he was getting aggravated at himself so I tried to not to be rude and dumb it down a little because maybe he just learned things differently.

"Okay Peter, Mitosis is basically a simple duplication of cells in our bodies, okay? It duplicates the DNA in our bodies, and makes (two daughters cells) meaning it splits into two more cells with the same genetics into two copies of eachother from one original!"

I said hoping he would catch on this time and I actually think it did because he started to ask questions that made sense.

"Okay, okay its like 5 stages right?" He said to my suprise he had been listening or trying to figure it out he was just having trouble because I dont think anyone had actually tried to help him before.

"Yes Peter! That's right! Do you remember what their called?" I asked waiting for him to answer, I could tell he sort of knew but was afraid to be wrong.

"It's okay if you don't get it completely right it's the learning process!" I said trying to boost his confidence.

"Uh is it like...... ummmm Metaphase or something?" He asked inqusitively it kinda made me smile that he was actually trying.

"That's one of them there are five! I'll go ahead and explain them you just copy It down in ur notebook okay? For future refrence?" I said when he looked up at me with those big brown eyes and let out a sigh but he did it anyways.

It was nearly 11 o'clock when we finished and truthfully I probably did the majority of the work the essay writing and coming up with the idea for the creative examples but I was just proud of myself that I had somewhat helped him learn something out of his comfort zone and even more so he tried and wasnt trying to make me do it all intentionally I honestly thought he just hadn't been offered extra help, to help him understand things at his own speed.

He jokingly threw a paper wad at me as I finished up the last sentence of the essay and slid it into my book bag. I just shook my head and ignored him when he got a notification from Facebook that completely changed his whole attitude and he kinda looked ticked off.

Destiny Darling added a photo on Facebook 🔔

I guess he had her posts automatically set to notify him, which I would do too if I was interested in someone like that... (or already did with Peter's!) Shhhh..

His facial expression completely changed and he looked like he wanted to hit something when he let out a angry groan and shoved his phone aside to where it accidently slid off of the table top.

"Is it that bad?" I asked not trying to be nosey but it was kinda hard not to be when he was acting this way.

He shrugged his shoulders and made a careless facial expression and told me to check it out for myself.

So I walked over by the fridge where his phone had landed, to pick it up.

When I opened up his lockscreen a picture of Destiny Darling and Todd Pollock beamed in front of me with the caption "Me and Bae" over the top of it.

It was clear now to why he was so upset about.

"I'm sorry Peter" I said innocently when he pretended to brush it off.

"It's whatever...." he said pretending to act like it didn't hurt him in someway.

"I don't think you feel that way" I interjected. When he kind of got an attitude with me.

"Why do you even care Camreigh? Just stay out of it!!" He said being hateful for no reason, clearly I knew he was upset but I wasnt the one who did it to him.

I crammed the rest of my things into my backpack and headed for the door, what once was a seemingly good night had inevitably turned badly and it was all thanks to Miss. Darling herself, as if being the center of attention wasn't enough at school she had to follow me home.

Later the night after I got a shower and played around on Netflix looking for a movie to watch, I had almost found myself falling asleep when my phone went off It was Peter much to my suprise.

I guess Peter did deep down underneath his hard shell exterior was a genuinely nice guy, he just never got the chance to show it. Which I always saw the good in everyone and I guess maybe that's one of the reasons I had been secretly in love with him all of these years.
