PETER
I was staring at the trophy case in Odessa high school. Was this the girl I was supposed to save? Was this the cheerleader that was going to save the world?
Someone slammed into me. It was a girl with blonde hair and tan skin. I made some small talk with her, then looked back at the trophy case. "Do you know her?"
She walked up beside me. It was obvious she didn't really like this girl.
Why couldn't this be the girl I was supposed to save? I had more of a connection with her than I had ever had with anyone. "I'm Claire."
Claire. "Peter."
She smiled. Damn, I bet that got her absolutely anything she wanted….
Claire was the cheerleader. She was the one who I was supposed to save…and did save. And not only that, somehow I fell off of a building, a building! And yet I completely healed. I'm covered in my blood, yet I don't have a scratch on me. She heals. It's completely amazing.
Of course, it would be much better if I hadn't got arrested. And the officer. Can he read minds? I cant go back in there, my head had felt like it was completely going to explode. I have to stay away from him…
"Petrelli, you have a visitor"
Claire walked into my cell. "Claire-"
"You're like me." She stated. I blinked. How do I respond to that? Do I tell her that I just borrowed that from her, or do I just go with it? Wait what is she saying?
She broke off of her sentence and looked out the window. Some guy was out there, ushering her. "I have to go." She said softly. She started walking towards the door. "Hey." She looked back at me, and I looked into her eyes. "You're totally my hero."
She left. She stayed on my mind the rest of the day, then Nathan showed up. I got my usual lecture from him, then followed him out of jail. That's not something you hear everyday…
That's when my head started to pound.
Sorry this one is so short. I'll make it up!!!
