chapter two: Lend Me Your Thoughts
After school the next day Lara Jean waited by Peter's car. The amount of stares she was getting had caused her to kind of shuffle her body around. Of course everyone knew they had broken up. It was Peter Kavinsky the most popular guy at Adler. They all heard about how he was seen with Gen and taken the necklace back from Lara Jean. She wished everyone didn't know though. So many things have been twisted.
Suddenly Peter was walking towards his car and Lara Jean's heart began to race. She hadn't entirely thought this through. Was she even going to talk to him or just take the ride and as soon as he reached her house jump out the gray jeep and run inside.
She was brought back to reality when Peter cleated his throat. She had jumped a bit and Peter let out a soft chuckle. He smiled softly at her but it faded quickly when he got no response. Flatly he asked, "Covey are you gonna get in?" He was holding her door open, she hadn't noticed. "Oh yeah sorry" Lara Jean climbed into the jeep and Peter shut the door. The drive was quiet. Peter didn't try to speak and he didn't try to get Lara Jean to speak.
Once they reached her house Peter turned off the engine and slowly turned towards Lara Jean. She tried not to look at him. Her hands were starting to shake. What would Margot say? Ah forget it. Lara Jean fixed her posture and turned to meet Peter's eyes. "Peter are you going to get back together with Gen? Is that why you keep trying to talk to me? Was it all part of a big plan to get her back?" She asks all in a breath. Peter's eyes get big and he scoffs turning away to laugh. Lara Jean could feel her face getting hot and she tried to meet his gaze, "Whats funny about that Peter?" She asks trying to sound strong, though her stomach feels like it might come up her throat. "No Lara Jean. I keep trying to talk to you because I need to explain," He takes a deep breath and waits for Lara Jean to wave him on, but she doesn't.
"Explain what Peter? How you were seeing your ex girlfriend behind my back? Why you were really waiting for her? What do you need to explain?" Lara Jean's heart is racing a mile a minute.
His eyes narrowed, "Look Gen is going through a lot right now, I wish I could tell you Covey but it's not my place," Peter stops and then resumes, "I understand it's not my place to help her anymore but no one else understands it"
Peter grabbed Lara Jean's hand and looked right in her eyes, "Nothing happened between Gen and I, I promise Lara Jean" He seemed sincere.
Lara Jean didn't even know how to respond so she pulled her hand away and asked, "Is that all Peter?"
He flinched back and shuffled in his seat. "Damn you are cold Covey," Peter reached into his pocket and pulled out the necklace he had given her on valentine's day. Lara Jean watched his hands closely as he slowly untangled it. "I'm gonna our this around your neck again soon Lara Jean" staring at the necklace Peter continued but his voice was shakey, "I've messed up, but one thing hasn't changed." looking back at Lara Jean and holding up the necklace Peter slowly finished his thought, "I love you Lara Jean Song Covey, just you".
She couldn't say it back, in fact her vision was starting to get blurry as her eyes filled with tears. Yes she felt the same for Peter but she was so scared of the hurt. Suddenly without thinking she got out of his jeep and turned around to say, "I need time Peter, I need to think" He gave her a weak smile and while putting the necklace back in his pocket he reassured her, "That's okay Covey you're worth waiting for" and he drove away while Lara Jean stood there watching as his silver jeep get smaller and at the same time her tears grew larger.
