Peter POV:
"Alright Sam, see you later." I call to my friend. I start walking to my locker, only to see that Maddie was there. So here's the thing about Maddie. She is the most annoying, infuriating, and exasperating girl in the world. And I am in love with her. I have no clue what we will argue about today, but I know I will probably say something stupid or start blushing like a baboon.

I start putting in my locker combination when I hear footsteps. Not just any footsteps, her footsteps. Come on dude, man up. "Hey Maddie" I grumble. "Shut up Peter" she replies, putting in her own combination. I roll my eyes and pull out my science textbook. I now realize her locker is unlocked and open. With a smirk, I slam it closed. Now, you might be thinking "Why are you such an asshole to Maddie if your in love with her?" This the only way to get her to talk to me. I need her to talk to me, even if its offhanded threats and swears.

"PETER!" She shouts. "Whatttt?" I reply coyly. "WHY DID YOU SLAM MY LOCKER!!! YOU ARE THE WORST! YOU KNOW THAT ALL MY MAGNETS WILL FALL OF!" She yells, stopping her foot and getting increasingly louder.

I look at her blankly, while I study her angry face. God, she is so pretty, eeven when she's pissed off. She seems to make a decision. All at once, she grabs the mini basketball hoop I have hanging on my locker door and breaks the hoop off. "That's what you get, you jerk." She states with a satisfied smile.

I want to protest, but I just revert back to my original tasks of grabbing my books. "Don't you ever dare do that again Banton" she snipes. "Yeah? How are you gonna stop me?" That comment earns me a glare, and I smile back.

"I swear, Peter, you better not pull this crap again" She says firmly one last time. "Whatever you say, Madeline" I say with a wink and walk to class.

I look back and see her there, blushing slightly holding a piece of my basketball hoop. And suddenly, the world is filled with a whole new light.
