I felt worried as he dragged me alongside him to the cafeteria, what if someone saw us? What would Jonah think if he saw me socializing with his brother?
this only meant trouble and I knew it as his hand gripped a bit and he sat me down at his table. I snorted aloud seeing our chairs right by the trash cans, for a guy with such a cocky and confident attitude you wouldn't expect his chair here. So basically Peter was all talk and no game whatsoever. As soon as I snorted Peter glared at me before speaking again. "What's so funny herron?" He furrowed his eyebrows.
"Just that you're all talk." I smiled deviously and his face quickly turned pink of embarrassment. "You know, I choose to sit here!" He was confident in that response for sure but I couldn't help but contain the smile that threatened my lips. He was such a character and I wouldn't mind becoming his friend. After all he looked like some sort of jock or popular kid with parted hair and height, but then you see his lip gloss and pink pens then where he sits at lunch and everything changes. It was actually humorous I couldn't help but begin to laugh. "you're like a character, I love it!" he rolled his eyes but as I kept on laughing he smiled at me fondly. He was beginning to let down that hard front that he didn't care about anything or anyone, it wasn't true. "Alright alright." He blushed with embarrassment and pulled out a lunch bag. I pulled out mine "I..I wanna be your friend." Peter said and I looked up to see his face was red, I could see that confessions were hard for him. Though he was lucky, if I were anyone else his outrageous personality would've scared me off. "That's crazy cause I actually wanted to be your friend as well." A smile broke out on his face and as well as mine. "Nice to meet you my new friend." I said winking "it's very nice to meet you also friend." It felt almost like a new breath of air becoming friends with someone outside of jacks friend or ex friend group, though i appreciated him it felt sometimes suffocating. It was nice to breathe even though i liked him.
to have something that didn't have the undertone that screamed depression or drugs, our new found friendship had a new possibility and i enjoyed that. As i thought of him jack appeared as he always did, reminded me of a dog and its owner how it always came searching. "get away from that thing, he might infect you with his shit personality. " jack spoke up clutching to the handles of his bag. "youre one to speak." peter scoffed looking jack up and down swiftly it seemed to spark a nerve with jack. "no really try asking jonah why he hasn't spoken to him in years his disgusting behavior really left a dent in few peoples lives. Personally i like to label him a homewreaker but he probably said his name was peter." jack laughed at his own sentence and i gave a questioning look between them, clearly peter was more involved with jack than i anticipated. "thats weird that you have the audacity to make fun of me. Have you forgotten what position youre in as a actual crack addict? atleast my brother can look at me i know you couldnt say the same." peter said his words leaving an impacts unlike words have ever seemed to hit jack before. Even i who didn't know the in's and outs of their history and their problems could tell that was sensative. Within seconds my wrist was snatched and i was being dragged through a hallway.
"Why are you around him of all people?" Jack scoffed to himself his hand still firm on my wrist. "I mean I knew you were new but-" I yanked my hand from his wrist stopping in the middle of the hall he was dragging me down. "I live with you Jack, I'm not your property." I said seriously looking him in the eyes as he turned his head to look back at me. I shoved my hands in my pockets looking at him for any indications of..well, anything at all. As usual jacks expression was a cold blank stare at the floor. It was clear he wanted something but if he wasn't going to say anything there was only so much I could do. "I'm going back to enjoy my lunch." I said turning swiftly but that's when he muttered something. "I.. I want.." Jack muttered and I turned back to him not saying anything. "I wanted.. to have lunch with you." He admitted his blank face turning to a timid one and his hands now clasped in front of him, it was an expression of his Ive never seen before. "You could've just eaten with us, you didn't need to cause a scene." I rolled my eyes grabbing onto him. "I don't like him.." he groaned angrily as we began our walk back "you don't like a lot of people." We reentered the cafeteria where he was eating but somehow managed to smile at the rearrival of the two of us.
