I still can't believe I have my best friend back. When I saw him I thought I was dreaming. He looks relatively the same as when we left but he acts differently. He only talks when he feels he has to, he doesn't blurt out what's in his head without thinking, he isn't his joyous self as he was before he left.
I know I shouldn't be complaining because I just got him back and damn I missed him. It was so lonely without him by my side. I got bullied because of my weight, I got rejected by every girl I asked out because who would go out with a Lego loving loser like me. Flash really got to me, destroyed my self-esteem. It just feels so good to have a friend again.
If only he would talk to me about what happened to him when he was gone. Whenever I ask he just shrugs and says "stuff happened." It was so annoying and I understand that he doesn't want to talk about it. But I don't even know where he lives anymore or who's taking care of him. I'm guessing he was adopted by someone but that doesn't explain why he disappeared.
I feel like we're not friends like we used to be. He doesn't want to come to my house or talk to my parents. All we do is sit next to each other and talk about Legos or Star Wars. Or he's reading one of his science book. He kind of reminds me of Michelle Jones, a social outcast and our academic decathlon's leader. She just sits there in a corner and reads her books.
Peter also joins me in a few of my clubs and seemed to like the robotics club. He made a drone that looks like an insect and flies around sending the footage on his computer. He also gave him an AI so that he could respond to commands verbally. He called him Drone-E. I knew Peter was smart but that was fucking genius considering he made that in less than an hour. He spent the rest of the session working on his watch (I have no idea why) and finally joined the robotics clubs in the end of the session.
Peter also joins the decathlon team. He got questioned by Michelle and got every answer correctly without even studying. He immediately took Flash's spot on the team which made him furious. Flash used to bully Peter before he left and this could make him do it again. That worried me. Peter spent the next two hours answering every question correctly even the ones that weren't his specialty which impressed every other member of the team. Except of course Flash who was red with fury and kept glaring at the oblivious Peter.
When we started leaving, Flash cornered up Peter and furiously stood in his way and said "You have some balls coming back here, Penis. I hoped you were dead, at least you wouldn't be a waste of space then." Peter just looked at him face void of emotion and yawned "I would have thought after two years you would have grown up. I can see now you're still a little mommy's little boy."
Everyone was shocked that Peter stood up to him like that. People even started recording what was happening. Flash looked livid "you don't deserve to be here Penis; how fucking dare you take my place in the decathlon team. You're just pathetic orphan. I bet your aunt and uncle killed themselves to get away from you. How much dick did you suck to be in the team huh? Because I'm better than you in every way" he said laughing.
"Dude you gotta relax a bit, whenever you talk the IQ of the entire room drops that's why I took your spot. And what's your obsession with my penis? Funny how when you think about getting something you think about sucking dick. Something you want to tell us Flash? Are you finally tired of being in the closet?" everybody laughed and Flash looked at Peter with Anger in his eyes.
Suddenly Flash tried to punch Peter, which he dodged easily. Flash proceeded to keep throwing punches and Peter kept dodging like a professional boxer. Peter chuckled "I'm not surprised you would result to violence after losing an argument. You know that's the same behavior they get in underdeveloped brains. Go home Flash you're wasting everybody's time. You're not worth the effort, just go before you hurt yourself."
Flash screamed with anger and went at Peter at full speed with his fist. Which Peter dodged easily and Flash ended up punching the locker with his full strength denting it. He screamed out in pain and fell on the ground. Peter mumbled "great now he hurt himself."
