so here I was walking home with Peter Baker. who I just met and I felt really nervous to the point were I could hardly Breath and here's Peter Baker smiling and Humming as if we were long time friends just taking a walk.
for the first minute or two of walking nether of us spoke. I wanted him to talk so badly but he wouldn't. so for some reason I said the first thing. "so, um, Peter?" my nervousness came out through my voice and I wished it hadn't, I began to do what I always do when I'm nervous.I was spinning my hair with fingers."Nick said the we go to the same school, Right?. to we have any classes together?."
Peter's smile grew. "well the question should be how many do we not have together."
"oh" and thats all I could think of. but lucky for me Peter pay no mind and continue talking.
"there a other guy that's in all the classes you are in, his name is Evan. do you know him?"
"no I really don't know anyone at our school at all" I said. I felt myself starting to blush.
silence fall between me and Peter, I felt stupid and embarrassed for no reason and I wished we'd get to my house soon, thats when peter turned to me and smiled. "w-what's with that look?." I said but I had feeling that I didn't want to know.
"you know Evan likes you, right?" Peter said giving me this look that I didn't like one bit.
I knew what he meant by it, but I acted like didn't, hoping that I was wrong. "w-what do you mean?" I tried to ignore the felling of my face getting hotter.
"you know what I mean, he LIKES you, well he thinks he's in love with you." he said it as if it was nothing, old news or something and here I walking Freaking out and my face feels like it's on fire. "but..." I tired to sound clam and I was failing. "he doesn't even know me, how can you be in love with someone you don't know?"
"that's what I told him but he wouldn't listen to me" Peter said with a sigh. "oh and he isn't the only one, most of the guy that I know in the school feels the same way about you" once again he sounded like it was nothing at all saying that. at this point I stopped and turned to him. "how do you know this?, do all of you guys have meets about me or something" my voice sounded higher and childish. "well actually yes sort of, maybe you could say" Peter said it like it was stupid of me to ask. "well it's more like we end up talking about you"
"what do you mean by do you just end up talking about me?" I felt dizzy and I wanted more that anything else in the world just to lay in my bed.
"Well first off it just me and my friends, not all the Boys in the school but so
on the first day you came to school me and my friends were waiting for school to start and that's when Evan said that there was going to be a new kid a.k.a you" He said pointing to me. "and that's the first time we talked about you, then after Evan and the rest of us saw you for the first time Evan and a guy name James said that you were so hot and that got in to a fight about which one you would pick" he laughed.
I didn't think it was possible but I felt myself blushing harder, I was going to ask him to stop but he continued and I half wanted to know what he was going to say. "Actually I think that day they fought over if you had blue or green eyes, I think it was James who thought you had green eyes"
"What?" I said.
"oh in different lighting your eyes look green" he said with a smile.
"like where? they look gray when I'm in the bathroom getting ready for school"
"well...when we're in class and in the hall and anywhere the lighting in low"
I looked at him for a second then said. "I don't believe you, how could he think my eyes were green"
Peter laughed. "that's what Evan said, so they made a bet. in fact you helped them"
"How?"
"well one morning before school James asked you something, it was a little after you started school and he look in your eyes and when he came back over to where me, Alex (another friend of mine) ans Evan and said. "man! she eyes are so blue" and that's all"
"oh" I said trying to remember that day but I couldn't. "what did you think?"
"well at first I thought then where green but when you sat down and the sun light hit you eyes I saw they were so blue like the sky itself" his voice was soft and almost sweet when he said that I felt hot and dizzy again.
"w-what about the other times?" I said faster then normal,and I started walking again.
"oh um...well...every Monday before school" he said looking at me like I was going to hit him, and to tell you the true I wanted to. "what!?" I turned to him
"well we talk about girls well my friends do and your name always comes up and other guys around us joins in too"
I didn't said anything for a minute then I said. "you get to be kidding me? did someone dare you to do this to me?"
"what do you mean?" he said looking me in the eyes.
"there no way they think that way about me, if they did, wouldn't boys ask me out? or something like that"
"they all think you would say no if they did." he said kindly. "and besides most of them have girlfriends" he added with a grin.
"no I don't believe you!" I was almost shouting
"Ashley, there something you need to get through you head. all those guys want to go out with you so badly but they can find it in them to ask you out, and almost every girl wants to be you. you just need to know this you somehow think this is not so but it is"
"I just think thought-" I stopped myself and thought about, no one ever actually told me that no one liked me I just thought this way. "I guess you could be right" my voice sounded small
"Ashley I'm right just ask you friend Lily" he said looking at me.
"Lily? what does she have to do with this?" I said. Lily Herr (note:you said Herr, like Hair) was my best and only friends. we only been friends for a year back then but we can tell what the other one is thinking by just looking at each other. she was with her mom for the summer at that time but normal she's lives here with her father.
"just ask her. but really Ashley I'm not Kidding or playing a trick on you, ALL my friends like you" he was half laughing those words
"what do you think about me?" the word left my mouth before I could stop them. I was kicking myself for letting them out.
"well I think they have reason too, you're very pretty" he said like it was nothing, me on the other hand. I thought I was going to fall over. before I could say anything Peter said. "isn't this you house?." he said pointing be hide me, I turned around, to my surprise. it was my house and we passed it.
"yeah it is" I said turned around and started walking back then I stopped turned to face him. "wait a minute!, how did you know that?"
"Nick took me here once" he said with a grin. "I'm good with remembering places"
and with that he walked pass me. I stood there for a second before I realized he walked passed me. I ran up to him, but he got there before stopping.
"Jeez why did you leave me there?" I said when I got the wind to, he walks a lot faster then I thought he did.
"thought you were right be hide me" but that smile told me he was teasing me.
"here let me unlock it" I unlocked the door and we went in, and thinking that soon I would be laying down on my bed, trying to make since of what just happened. little did I know that wasn't going to happen.
