" Okay," I began slowly as Peter and I sat down on some black cushions in Peter's room. " well, I guess if we want to know each other better than we should play 20 questions." I beyond hated this game but it was an easy way for us 'to get to know each other'
" What's 20 questions?" Peter looked at me confused.
" Um, basically we just ask each other 20 questions about each other and we have to answer."
" Oh, ok. Um..." Peter began and looked around the room trying to think of a question. " Uh, do you miss home?"
I stayed silent for a moment. I haven't really been thinking about home. I don't even know how long we've been gone. " Nope. I haven't even thought about it."
" Oh, that's good I guess. Makes it easier."
" Yeah...ok um, how old are you, and how long have you been here?"
" That's two questions." Peter smirked at me and laughed lightly. I wanted to roll my eyes, but I didn't.
" Uh, we'll this way the game goes faster..." I mumbled so he'd let me ask questions.
" Ok. I'm 16. I think. And I've been here..." He stopped and seemed to struggle to remember the dates," since 1998. I was born in...'81... '82? Uh, I don't know. Sometime in the 80's." Peter responded quite slowly and I laughed at him. Not in a way of making fun of him, but because of the cuteness of his struggle to remember. Peter slightly smiled at me, but also looked confused.
" Oh, uh, I wasn't laughing at you in a bad way. I was laughing because you were acting cute..." I managed to say as I kept playing with my brown locks. I didn't want him to think I was making fun of him! What I said caused Peter to smile even bigger.
" My turn!" Peter shouted which made me jump.
" WHAT TH-" Im about to yell at him but I stopped myself. " Uh, jeez you scared me there..."
"Sorry," he grinned at me, " anyways Wendyyy, in all seriousness, this isn't a question, but more of a...I don't know, but anyways, I can tell you're not being completely yourself. From now on, no matter what, anything you want to say or do, don't hold it back. Please? I can't get to know a fake person." I started laughing, and I couldn't stop. Peter was staring at me in confusion. How hypocritical. Here he is telling me to be myself, which I will be from now on, but he's the one who covers up a billion things he says and won't admit he has feelings for me.
I stopped laughing and looked at Peter. " Same goes for you, Buddy." I smiled sarcastically. He's going to regret telling me to be myself.
" huh?" Peter asked confused.
" Oh come on Peter! You're a wonderful person and everything, but stop being a wuss! You're also constantly 'not being yourself'" I added air quotes around the words, "you're constantly stopping yourself when you're about to say you like me or something. So, before I can promise you of being myself you have to do the same."
Peter stared at me for a moment and let his eyes roam around the room awkwardly. He stuck his hands into his pockets and sighed. " Ok. Fine Wendy. Yes, I like you. Ever since I first saw you. I'm afraid you're going to get killed by the pirates. I'm sorry... what I asked you to do was very hypocritical of me. Forgive me?" Peter eyes liy up and he grinned goofingly at me.
I stood up and walked over to him. " Yes, but only because I like you too." I bent down and kissed him on the cheek. " but you can be oh so annoying." I then sat down next to him and wrapped my arms around his neck and hugged him as I whispered "but that's ok."
Peter turned his head so we were looking straight at each other. " Seriously..?" He whispered in a surprised tone. This boy may get on my last nerve, but I do find him attractive and other then his annoyingness he has a wonderful personality, and just, *insert fan girl squeal.* Hah, no Wendy, no.
" Seriously." I managed to throw out before Peter crashed his lips to mine. I stumbled back a little, surprised. But Peter moved his arm to prevent me from falling, his other hand gently cupping my face. He broke apart from the kiss and his eyes darted to mine, trying to figure out if I was upset or not. It was a quick, short kiss, only lasting about ten seconds or so, but it was nice.
" Im sorry, I mean-" Peter began frantically but I stopped him.
" Peter," I warned, and laugh a little." I said I liked you didn't I?" I was about to continue my sentence when shouting broke my train of thought.
" WENDY! Peter! Come out here!" We could hear the lost boys shout. Peter and I rushed to our feet and flee out the door and out the treehouse, where we heard the shouting. As we got out of the treehouse the list boys began to point.
" The barrier!" Slightly shouted. " It had gone down earlier, but suddenly almost a minute ago, it went up a whole lot. Like I mean a lot." Peter and I looked at the barrier. They were right. It had gone up a lot. Now you could barely tell that the barrier was going down.
" What do you think did it?" Chubby asked confused. I started thinking. A minute ago? He said a minute ago. Oh crap. What if it's not just happiness and believing that makes the barrier go up...what if it's something else too?
" Um, ok, guys I need one of you to stare at Peter and me and the rest of you staring at the barrier." They nodded confused and Slightly stared at me and Peter. I turned to Peter and whispered in his ear " Im going to kiss you, kay?" Before he had time to respond I was already kissing him. He put his hands on my waist, pulling me closer to him. We both smiled into the kiss.
" Woah!" The lost boys screamed and we pulled apart. " The...the, oh my god." Chubby started freaking out." THIS IS AWESOME! When you guys kissed, the barrier went up."
Peter looked at me confused and I just smiled.
" But, but, that means something else has to power the barrier. Not just happiness, but..." Peter began, confused.
" Love." Slightly and I said together.
This new 'power', was about to come in handy, but it's also about to have it's big disadvantages.
I hope you guys liked this chapter. I know it was short, my bad.
