Disney High School
Chapter Four- Peter Pan and a bit of Wendy Darling
Man, Wendy sure has been acting weird lately; thought Peter as he walked into his French class with her and his new friend Tiger. He felt as if Wendy was doing a lot to get his attention, and she didn't seem to like Tiger. He shrugged it off; he assumed it was because they just met. As soon as he got into class, there were two empty seats, one behind Wendy, and one behind a girl with black hair. He purposely took the seat behind the girl with black hair, so Wendy and Tiger could bond. Peter really liked Tiger, as in "like liked"Tiger. He wanted to be her boyfriend, and take her out places, and make her feel special. He wanted her to be his, she was very beautiful, and it was not very often girls like this came around. The thing was, Peter had not the SLIGHTEST idea that Wendy admired him, he was practically clueless. The subtle to blatant hints that Wendy gave were not enough. He only thought of Wendy as a best friend, a sister. That's why when anyone asked if they were a couple, he quickly but calmly said no. Another thing about Tiger that Wendy lacked was a risky personality. Ole' Wendy was too boring and proper to do anything, yet skip class with her best friend. Tiger Lily had accepted Peter's invitation to go to the football field, Wendy never would have. She would've said, 'Peter, I would never!' or 'Peter Pan, that sounds ridiculous!' But Tiger, beautiful Tiger Lily, quietly nodded as a hint of subtle blush crept across her beautiful dark face. He watched as Tiger sat down behind Wendy, and how Wendy turned around expecting to see Peter, but instead saw the girl she was immensely jealous of, which Peter did not know. She gave the dark skinned girl a look he knew all too well, fake joy. Tiger thought it was real so she smiled back. Focusing back on the class, he didn't even know why he applied for any of the classes. Oh, right, to be with his best friend, Wendy Darling. He didn't even want to be in ANY of his classes that he had now, he did it for the sake of poor Wendy, because she actually had no friends, really. But maybe she could become friends with Tiger, and the blonde girl she was sitting next to, and some other freshman. Peter had definitely made some new friends already, mainly freshman, and three or four upperclassmen. He had that fun, care free and easy going personality that everyone loved. He was simple, and for his first day he only wore a dark green shirt and jeans, with some green sneaks. He was a handsome boy, many girls liked him since the seventh grade, and he knew that each girl did, the only girl that he didn't know liked him, was the one that liked him most of all. Wendy Annette Darling.
"Peter! Snap out of it, I was wondering if you would like to work with me for the introduction project." He sighed and shrugged. He was really hoping to work with Tiger, or actually anyone else but Wendy. Maybe it was showing.
"Actually, Wends, I was going to consider working with" Wendy sucked in her breath, more blatant then she meant to.
"Tiger, oh okay, I'll just work with my new friend Alice." Alice was already working with a boy named Mowgli, he had finally arrived to class, and he had gotten lost on the way there, as many freshmen did on their first day. Wendy gulped; the only person available to work with was the girl sitting in front of Peter. She used all of her courage to sit down next to her. The dark-haired girl eyed Wendy and gave her a fake smile, while Peter was sitting and talking with Tiger.
"It seems there are no other partners available, may I work with you?" The girl nodded, and pulled out her pen. "I am Wendy Darling, nice to meet you."
"I am Vanessa Heisen, you too. So what are you, a freshman?" Wendy nodded quickly but calmly. This girl was definitely cool, but had this nasty attitude problem, she wore black shorts and a light grey hoodie with grey matching shoes, and she was loudly chewing on gum. "Oh cool, you know you are super pretty!" Wendy blushed at the girls compliment. The girl herself was pretty too, with her purple eyes and long hair.
"Thank You, you too. You are very pretty!" Vanessa smiled and they started to work on the project, she was actually very good at French, and they finished the work in no time at all. They had extra time to talk, and Peter wouldn't admit it, but the whole time he was listening to their conversation, deeply, but still paying attention to Tiger and the assignment.
"You could be even cuter if you dressed—not like that." Vanessa didn't care if Wendy got offended, in fact, she wasn't. She agreed, and sighed.
"I don't even own a pair of jeans, let alone shorts or short skirts." Vanessa gasped, how horrible she thought it was for a cute girl that was not allowed to dress cute too. Vanessa was very popular in school, and was known for getting away with everything because her mother worked very high in the school board. She often broke dress code, as she was today with her shorts, and has dated most of the boys in her Junior classes, including but not only Naveen, Hercules, Shang, Tarzan, Phoebus, and soon to be Eric. She kept dropping subtle hints to the senior boy, but all were not recognized. She was very nice though, and only disliked few. Vanessa was rich, spoiled, and the girl that you just had to like.
"That's a shame, OH I KNOW, we should go shopping this weekend and buy you some totally cute clothes, me and my friends are all going, trust me, they won't mind!" Wendy clapped and smiled, this was just what she wanted, a friend she could talk to that would help to get Peter to like her, even though Vanessa didn't know who Peter was. Wendy slightly turned to see Peter looking at the talking girls, only to blush and look back down to his work and then at Tiger Lily. Wendy smirked.
"That would be great, but what should I wear there?" Vanessa thought for a second.
"How about I pick you up early, and we go ahead and buy an outfit for you to wear?" Wendy frowned. Her parents only let her dress a certain way, never the way Vanessa imagined.
"But my parents will never let me come home dressed "like that"." Vanessa smirked, she helped all the Freshman with this problem.
"You can just put your dress back on before we leave." Wendy nodded, it was a great idea; the bell was about to ring, and Vanessa handed Wendy her phone number. Wendy had a phone, it was one with a slide out keyboard, but she rarely used it. Only for her parents to call in and she usually texted Peter, but now she had Alice's and Vanessa's phone numbers as well! She made it back to her seat and Alice apologized, for a reason Wendy did not know.
"I am sorry Wendy, but Mowgli looked so alone that I went to work with him, now he can be our new friend!" Wendy nodded and put on her backpack.
"Oh it's definitely alright. That's great! I made a new friend too!" The girls shared in there joyous information, and noticed that Tiger had come back. Both girls smiled, Alice genuinely and Wendy fakely. But, you're supposed to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer, so she went into conversation with Tiger, and shared some laughs. She glanced over at Peter, who looked proud of himself, I guess he felt that he made that happen. Wendy looked away, and complimented Tiger.
Look out Peter, here I come; Wendy thought as she stole one more glance at him before the bell rang.
Peter was glad that Tiger and Wendy were getting along. He also heard a bit of Wendy and Vanessa conversation, he was surprised that Wendy was the "shopping" type. What would she even buy? He then remembered he was walking with Tiger, she looked concerned as they walked to Mr. Clayton, Group One (Freshman)Science.
"What's wrong Peter? You look troubled." He shook his head and smiled.
"Oh nothing, so, Wendy is being nice to you, right?" Tiger smiled, showing a row of white teeth, and nodded.
"She is very nice, you are lucky to have her as a best friend, she really cares about you." Peter shrugged. Wendy this, Wendy that. It was always about Wendy, or Wendy and Peter, but never really just Peter. "Hey Peter, would you like to come over to my house Wednesday afternoon?" Peter stopped in the middle of the busy hallway and Tiger looked back to make sure he was still coming. Tiger was afraid she was being weird of way too forward.
"Yeah, that'd be awesome, Tiger." Tiger handed Peter a slip of paper, it was her number. He smiled, and they walked into class together, and they both walked up to Wendy, Alice, and Mowgli.
Things are turning out to be easier than I thought; thought Peter as he sat next to Mowgli, since it was three chairs per table. The girls sat next to each other, Wendy in the middle, and Mowgli and Peter sat next to each other, with a boy named Chip (A/N: At the end of 'Beauty and the Beast' the little cup turns human, and his name is Chip).
