Disclaimer: Sorry, I do not own Peter Pan.
Sorry for the delay guys. Hope you like this. It's basically the same chapter as the last one, but in Peter's point of view.
Peter POV
Welcome to Neverland High. Proud home of the Crocodiles.
School Colors: Green and Gold
But here, there's more than just crocodiles, we're also the home of…
… The Pirates, our rival gang, the notorious leader James has his eyes on a certain Wendy Darling
… The Lost Boys, my gang, the one I lead, the head of the school
… The Mermaids, the cheerleaders, easy sluts
… The Fairies, the girls who are too smart to let themselves fall victim from my gang or The Pirates
… The Indians, the only people who stand up to me
… and then there's Wendy. Wendy Darling is unlike any girl I've ever met before. She doesn't belong to a group.
My name's Peter. I rule this school. And I think I'm in love with Wendy Darling.
But my eyes are not the only ones that follow Wendy's every move. James Hook also had his pig-eyes desperately set on the lovely girl, probably only because I want her and he wants to keep her from me.
James Hook is my bitter enemy, leader of rival gang The Pirates. Why are we rivals you might ask? We were fighting once, at a young age I might add, over some trivial little issue. I kicked him, harder than I thought. The blow was aimed for the chest, but he reached out with his arm to block me and my foot met his wrist. The impact paralyzed his arm from the elbow down on accident. His hand was now permanently dysfunctional. He couldn't so much as move his pinky finger. And so The Pirates and Lost Boys were formed, and since then it's been constant competition and fighting.
I pulled my attention back to my current class, Algebra. I hated Algebra. I was failing the class with a fifty-seven percent. Wendy Darling, freshman, was the top of this class with a ninety-eight point seven percent. Her friends told me. She sat in the second to last row with her two right hand girls, Belle and Lily, while I sat in the front. I hated not being able to just look at her, with her stunning beauty, like I could in the other classes I had with her.
Sometimes I felt pervish when I checked out Wendy like I did, but it's not like I could just not. She was beautiful and the fact she didn't see it herself made her all the more attractive to me. I suppose I should have felt at least something when I was unfaithful to my Mermaid of a girlfriend, Amber, but never once did I feel a single thing.
I wasn't going to lie; Amber was a complete whore. She did anything I wanted her, and sometimes even didn't want her, to do, no matter how it would affect her reputation. TO say the least, she didn't even have much of a reputation, at most not a very good one. She'll let any guy, even if she had a boyfriend (the unlucky me), with a dick and a way with words into her tiny little miniskirt. I hated it.
Amber was tall, although shorter than I was, blonde, wore way too much makeup, and skinny with a massive fake chest. I'm pretty sure she was anorexic or bulimic. Most guys found that attractive or hot, but not me. I only dated her because almost every single one of The Pirates wanted her, and dating her gave me the edge in the competition that I needed.
Our Algebra teacher was rambling on about a project she was excited for, probably because she didn't have to teach anything. The teacher pointed at someone in the back. I recognized the voice almost immediately.
"Is it possible that we could do this project with out a partner? Like, alone?"
"Wendy, Darling," the teacher excitedly clapped her hands together like an excited schoolgirl. "Where would the fun in that be?" I hated our teacher almost more than I hated this subject. Wendy didn't look all too thrilled with our teacher either.
"Now, class to avoid any possible distractions and late projects, I've already picked your partners for you." Slight pause. "The list is outside. Please check it after class or after school and make sure to talk to your partner before you leave campus." I raised my hand tentatively. Not only did this project sound incredibly boring, but also it sounded like a hell of a lot of work.
"Peter," the teacher called. I could tell she was reluctant to call on me because of my notorious reputation but she did anyway. I relaxed and smirked ever so slightly.
"What are the minimal requirements for this project?" The teacher let out a really heavy sigh. I knew that she didn't like me. Not many teachers do.
"Peter, you need an A to pass this class. For you, there are no minimal requirements. You need to exceed at this, go above and beyond my expectations…"
"That doesn't answer my question." The teacher sighed at me again and I had to fight off the bubbling urge to laugh in her face.
"A visual representation with at two examples and an instructional video to teach the class about your assigned unit." That didn't sound too bad. Especially if I had a smart partner, who I'm sure the teacher had enough mercy to give me.
When the bell rang, I exited the classroom to check the list with Collin at my side. There was a large group of students huddling around the list, either excited or depressed with their new partners. I saw my name next to Wendy's and smiled to myself.
Collin was so excited about having Lily as a partner I swear that he nearly shit his pants. He's had a little schoolboy crush on her for a long time. A lot of us had a one point.
I knew Wendy wasn't going to be all too thrilled at having me for a partner, but she had better get used to the idea. I saw her, Belle, and Lily hanging out by the classroom door, waiting for the rest of the crowd to disperse before they checked for their partner's names on the list. Belle was talking, Wendy was laughing, her bright smile lighting up her sweet face, and Lily was rolling her eyes.
"Hey, Peter, you coming to Physics? One more absence and you'll have an automatic fail, man."
"I'll be there. I just need to do something real quick. I can afford another tardy." Collin nodded and headed off to Physics, another class that I completely hated.
I left the area around the list as well and started off into another hallway. I needed to talk to Wendy.
"Peter," I heard Wendy say. She didn't sound too enthused. That was an understatement; she completely hated me.
"He's cute," Lily said. I almost laughed at her. Lily rarely ever talked about me like that, so it was sort of a new thing for me.
"He's a dumb ass. I can't do this project with him. We'll never pass!" We were going to pass; I was going to make sure of that. I would do more work than I'd possibly ever done in my entire life.
"Wendy Darling," I began, "That's no way to talk about your new partner." Wendy twirled around, her soft hair landing on her shoulders.
"You better not screw this up for me, Peter." She pointed her finer at me accusingly. "Or I swear I'll make you pay."
"How so?" I placed my finer beneath her shin, gently making her make eye contact with me. "How are you, Wendy Darling, going to make me, Peter Pan of The Lost Boys, pay?"
"I'm not sure yet. But I can promise you, your life will be a living hell." She refused to make eye contact with me. Her head jerked away from my hand and she walked as fast as she could away from me, Belle and Lily hot on her heels. That certainly was not the way I saw this conversation going in my head. I heard the bell ring, and decided that I should probably get to the office and get a late pass. My feet dragged behind me as I walked. I wasn't happy about how any of this was going. Ms. Jackie, the school's office attendant, knew me all too well. She sighed, scribbled a few words and signed a pass for me, and handed me the pale yellow slip. I took it and began to go toward my Physics class. I wasn't looking forward to sitting next to Amber, my bitchy girlriend, or explaining to my friends why I was late.
I handed the teacher the pass and she went to go enter something in her computer. I took me seat next to Amber, whose plastic smile was radiating as I sat down.
"Hey Peter." God, why did I ask her out? Her voice makes me want to get sick and honestly she doesn't live up to half of the reputation she brags about.
"Hey, Amber," I replied, not ver happy about being inclined to have to even talk to her.
"Amber," The teacher said. "You're needed down in the counselor's office." She pouted and got up with her purse and Physics binder. Thank the Lord! Collin moved from his seat next to Thomas and sat next to me. The teacher didn't even notice.
"So, what did Wendy think?" He asked.
"She was all too excited."
"She hates you." I thought about it and decided that he was very right.
"Yep, she does. But I'll make her love me by the time we're done wit this project."
"Bet on it?" Thomas had a sort of obsession, or maybe addiction to gambling. A good friend would not encourage these "unhealthy" habits, but me, being the best friend I am, I am living off all of my friends' strange habits.
"Yeah sure. What am I betting?"
"If Wendy does fall in love with you, I'll give you my car." Thomas' family was rich, but that wasn't the only reason I liked the kid. Thomas himself owned three cars. "If she doesn't, hmmm… What do you think is equivalent for my car?"
"I don't know."
"How about asking Gabe out?"
"Gabe? The bitchy girl that looks like a man?"
"Yep, that's the one. You have to go out with her for two months."
"That would be a living hell, so you better be sure you're willing to lose your car." I thought about it. It was a fair bet. Or so we thought. Some people would disagree. Actually, most people would disagree. But to me, the car was just a bonus of me winning. I was going to have Wendy, which was better than any car.
"Fair enough." Thomas stuck out his hand and I shook it. Bring it on.
Okay, so what did you guys think? Now you know the bet. My friend did this once and he got into some seriously deep shit when the girl found out. Of course the bet wasn't for a car, it was just for some guy's old skateboard.
So yeah, I sort of know what I'm talking about in this story. But only sort of, because I only got about half the story from my friend.
Anyway, I liked this chapter but I thought it was too short so I'll try to make my chapters longer. The next chapter should take place during lunch and there will be a scene when Peter tries to sweet-talk Wendy a little bit.
Anyway, I hope you liked it! I'd love to know what you think!
