Falling
For You
Chapter
Three
Lexi, are you okay?
Next time Josh is making you feel uncomfortable just give me a
nudge and I'll punch him straight in the kisser! :P
- Peter
I couldnt help ut smile.
Peter aways seemed to know the right things to say.
The next thing i knew
the bell rang and we all rushed out into the hallways for our
first period classes. The rest of the day we did the same
thing in every class. We reviewed all the homework our
teachers decided to give us over the break and assigned more
homework to struggle over tonight.
Finally, sixth period
bell rang and I could finally go to lunch. I found Peter
and took my seat across from him. Then Jamie and Piage came
in and sat on either side of me, and not too long after Melissa,
Rebecca, Rachel came in and took seats across from us next to
Peter. This was going to be a good lunch period.
The cafeteria smelt like
chicken tenders, the way it always did, although the lunch was
pizza. We were all enjoying our lunches when Josh walked
over and squeezed in between Paige and I. Our lunch table
fell silent as everyone glared at him with anger filling the
outer edges of their eyes.
"Hey guys."
Josh said breaking the awkward silence and flashing a smile
in my dorection. We all returned his greeting with nods,
keeping our mouths lightly locked, is straight, emotionless
lines. No matter how hard Josh tried, he just couldn't
seem to break the tension between all of us. "Soo....
how about all that homework we have been getting. Do our
teachers make it their life missions to make our lives
miserable?" We responded with light chickles, still
not being able to think of something to say to him.
"Peter, my mom told
me to tell you to pick something up form my house after school,
but I don't know exatly what I am suppose to be giving you,
so I was wondering if you might know?" I asked, trying
to direct the converstaion away form Josh.
"No, maybe I can
just stop by after your mom gets home." Peter
suggested.
"Yeah, sounds
great." I said while slightly shaking my head, freeing
a piece of hair form behind my ear, and having it fall by my
eye.
"Maybe I can walk
you form school today?" Josh said, reaching up and
brushing the piece of hair back behind my ear. He reached
his other hand around my waist, reaching across my body to grab a
spare knife at the other end of the table. He looked at me
with a small smile jsut reaching the corners of his lips.
It was a small gesture, but something inside Peter sanpped
as he stood up with his clenched fist in the air as it came
crashing down making direct contact with the right side of
Josh's jaw.
