I try to convince myself that I don't care that Peter chooses Liz over me, I try to convince myself that I don't care that Peter doesn't like me, I try to convince myself that I don't care that Liz and Peter are dating. But right now, at this very moment, I'm trying so hard not to care that Liz and Peter are sharing their first kiss.
I try not to cry when he doesn't pull away from her as she attacks his lips with hers.
Michelle grabs my hand, making me drop my gaze to our hands then her face. Ned adds his hand to the pile and smiled when my head turned to look at him.
They both stood up and we walked towards the doors, the only down side of leaving is the fact that we have to pass they "Lip-Locked-Lovers". I think I'm ready, should I tell Michelle and Ned?
I look over at them to see that Peter pulled away from Liz and was looking at me.
Looking into his chocolate brown eyes, I remembered why I fell for him in the first place.
The wind was blowing slightly, his adorable brown hair was ruffled from running his hand trough it in frustration.
"I can never remember it!" He throws his hands up in defeat.
"Calm down Peter, it's not that hard! Just subtract 21 from 5 to get the value of x!"
We were in sixth grade and we had just started algebra one. He was struggling to understand the fact that we were using letters in math equations that weren't word problems.
It was the first day I really acknowledged the fact that I liked him and I swore never to let it come between us. I guess I broke the promise.
I break eye contact quickly and hurry towards the door, the other two right behind me.
As we escaped through the doors I lean against the wall and let out the breath I didn't notice I was holding. Michelle comes up to me and rubs my back lightly, trying to calm me down.
Ned kneels in-front of me and wipes away the tears that make their way down my face.
I shake my head and look at them. Wiping my cheeks I stand up tall, my mouth tasting of salt from the tears, but the only thing I can think of is,
Oh dear Peter, all you did was add fuel to the fire.
