The next day...
Today, while I was walking I decided to stop at Delmar's Deli for some chips. While I was in one of the isles deciding what flavour to get I heard a familiar voice.
"Yeah um, with pickles and can you squish it down real flat? Thanks." I lifted my head and saw Peter standing only a foot away from me.
I grabbed a small bag of salt and vinegar chips and headed up to the counter just after Peter left. I paid and put them in my pocket, coming out of the store and running to catch up to him.
"Hey stranger" I said falling into his step beside him and smiling. When he looked at me a smile instantly spread across his face and I felt butterflies in my stomach.
"What are you doing here?" he asked.
"I was out for a walk and I stopped to get some chips. What about you?"
He held up a white bag. "Best sandwiches in Queens. Plus some gummy worms."
"Well yeah, you can't have a sandwich without gummy worms."
"Hey, are you going anywhere in particular?"
"No, why?"
"I have an idea."
"What is it?"
"It's a surprise" He said, looking back at me excited.
"What? No! Tell me!"
"Not a chance" I followed him, excited to see what the surprise was.
♡♡♡
"Wow. It's- beautiful" I said when we reached the top of the building.
"I know." he said, placing a brick down to stop the door from locking us on the roof.
We sat down on the ground and I opened my chips and Peter took out his gummy worms from the bag he had been holding. He offered me some gummy worms and I offered him some chips in return. We both just sat there, staring out at the landscape. I couldn't look him in the eye for more than a few seconds. Nothing has been the same since he slept over. Nothing has been the same since he called me his.
Peter's POV:
I kept looking over at her, I couldn't help it. She was beautiful. And the sun just beginning to set cast a golden light on her, which made her look even more beautiful. I wanted to tell her how I felt so bad, but I didn't know what to say. I didn't even know if she liked me back. And if she didn't and I "made a move" or whatever, could we still be friends? Or would it be awkward? What if I do ask her out and she says yes only out of pity? God, I hate this.
"Hey," As soon as I spoke she turned to look at me. "you know how Homecoming is coming up?"
"How could I not? There are like a million posters all over the walls, and at least 20 banners. Honestly, I think they're getting a little ahead of themselves." She looked away.
"Yeah, probably" I laughed under my breath.
"But I think I'd be pretty fun to go, but I don't have anyone to go with. It probably doesn't help that I don't know anyone, or that I already don't like anyone there, they all kind of suck. Except for you, I like you." She smiled at me and I just about died.
"I like you too." But I meant it in a different way than she did. "But don't worry, you're not alone. I don't have anyone to go with either"
"Really? I thought you already had a date?" Her raised eyebrows matched her confused tone.
"Nope." Why does she think I have a date?
"Oh," Her face relaxed and she looked at the ground before looking back out at the landscape in front of us.
