Chapter 37 – The Calm Before The Storm

Walking up the front steps of the school, Olivia slowed as she saw Peter jogging up towards her. "Hey." He smiled as he placed a small kiss on her cheek. "Peter I said to stop that!" She laughed as he tired to kiss her again. "Ah come on Liv. No one is around!" He laughed as she huffed and turned from him, walking into the school and into view of the other students. She knew Peter wouldn't try and kiss her with other people around.

Rachel spotted them both from across the road. She smiled to herself as Peter leaned down and gave Olivia a kiss on the cheek, her sister laughing as he did so. "Hey Rach, lets go, the movie starts soon…" Rachel's friends grabbed a hold of her arm and pulled her away from school, skipping all classes that were planned for the day.

Peter and Olivia stood near Charlie's locker and waited until he turned up. They wanted to give Charlie his birthday present but had to wait for him to get back from class. "So Livia, what do you say me and you get out of the city tonight? Have some dinner and maybe watch a movie at the drive in?" Peter was leaning against the wall while Olivia stood in front of him.

They had been taking things slowly since they decided to try again. None of their friends really knew, mainly because it was recent, but also because they just wanted to see how things went before they made anything official…again. Since the night after the attack, when Olivia broke up with Peter, Olivia had shied away from most of her friends, the wounds almost healed but the scars would always be there. Most of them on her back were gone, leaving it almost unblemished but some still remained, painless markings of a painful night.

She began to play with the braid that was down her back, before looking back up at him from under her lashes, "Yeah I'd like that." His smile grew even more when she bit her bottom lip and he had to restrain himself from kissing her, it really did drive him crazy when she bit her lip like that. "Well they are showing Mighty Ducks 2 again because the next one comes out in a few weeks." Olivia raised her eyebrow at him and the fact that he was interested in seeing a movie like that all she received in return was a smirk and a small laugh. He looked around suddenly, noticing that there was no one in the corridor as they were all in class, before taking a step towards her. "Peter what are you doing?" He placed his fingers under her chin and raised her face to his. He leaned down slowly and smiled, his lips a breath away from hers, "Something I shouldn't" he closed the gap between them and placed a soft and gentle kiss on her lips.

Olivia felt him smiling as he kissed her and she couldn't help but react to the feel of him, her lips matching his movements though wanting more. He pulled away slowly and took in the fact that a smile played on her lips and her eyes were closed. He watched as they opened heavily, "I'm sorry, no one was around and I couldn't resist. You are so beautiful." He pulled back further, happy that he was able to bring a red tinge to her cheeks. "Peter, you know I hate it when you say stuff like that. Come on, stop screwing around." She slugged him none to gently on the arm. "I'm not joking Olivia." He pulled her closer as she giggled and tried to get away.

"Hey!" They both turned around to find Charlie coming up the hall with Sonia and Beth and Bobby not far behind. "Hey guys." Olivia came to meet them halfway and was embraced by Sonia. Once she pulled away Olivia smiled at the others, noticing their knowing smirks. "Hey guys, what's up?" She looked back at them as they answered, "Oh nothing much Liv. How are you going?" She knew that they knew, Peter didn't seem to care though, his smile only grew more. Charlie look back at Olivia and watched as she glanced back at Peter with a small smile, "So lets go!" Charlie called out before grabbing onto Sonia's hand and walking toward the gym. "Hey Charlie where are you going?" Peter called out.

"School was called to an assembly. Something about a teacher harassing a student or something." He shrugged and made his way towards the gym. Olivia looked back up the corridor, noticing Nick hanging around. She knew what this had to be about and was thankful he had actually said something to Principle Broyles about Harris and his constant harassment. "Nick you coming…" She called out suddenly, not getting a reply from him for a moment, as she and Peter followed close behind Charlie. "Yeah Olive. I'm coming now." They walked towards the gym, Nick more than five steps behind, but following anyway.

Most of the teachers were already there. Broyles was standing in the middle with Harris not far to the side. Peter grabbed a hold of Olivia hand and pulled her up the stairs. "Nick you coming?" She turned to find that Nick had fallen even further behind. "Ah no. Olive, I'll just sit here. You go on." She watched him closely as he took a seat on one of the bottom steps before she and Peter took their seats towards the top. As they sat, she could see Charlie and Sonia holding hands while Bobby was whispering in Beth's ear making her giggle. She felt Peter take her hand and bring it to his lips, "You really are beautiful." She blushed again. He really didn't seem to care if their friends knew, that was what he wanted and if she was being honest with herself she would have said the same thing. She leaned into his touch, giggling quietly as he pulled her to his side, never wanting to let her go now that he had her.

"OK EVERYONE!" Broyles voice quieted everyone in a matter of moments. They all looked over to him as he brought the microphone back to his mouth. "It has come to my attention that there has been some issues regarding a teacher and some students. Now whether or not this is true it has also come to my attention that there has been some issue with rumors and bullying. This I will NOT allow in my school." He froze for a moment, making sure everyone took in what he was saying. Most people knew that he was talking about Harris because at one time or another, most students would have had their run in with him but Olivia knew he was speaking specifically about Nick. Harris seemed to really have it in for him and it didn't help that from the moment Nick stepped into the school, most of the other kids were picking on him as well.

"The only problem is the freak over there! The guy is a psychopath!" A students voice was raised over the silence. "Yeah! He keeps a book about death in his locker!" A girls voice echoed back. "THAT'S ENOUGH!" Broyles corrected the students. "I will not have any of this in my school. I do not care who or why…" just as he was about to continue Nick's voice was heard over the class.

"Just because someone is different, doesn't make them a freak! You just don't understand what is different" he stood as he spoke and Olivia noticed his hand behind his back, she sat closer to Peter who pulled her into his side. "Sit down freak! You are the one who we are talking about! Do you think its normal to sit in class and rock yourself? Go back to the crazy house Lane!" As another student spoke, Nick looked over to the teachers who were struggling to control the situation. His eyes fell on Harris, who had a large smile on his face and his eyes directly at Nick.

Any thoughts? Please review! :D
