"Talking"
'Thinking'
|Chapter three –Notice|
(Peter POV)
Arryn looks at Peter's hand and finally shakes it. She stares at his bright blue eyes with her soft hazel ones for a moment, still holding his hand then answers hesitantly, "Friends."
Peter smiles brightly at her with curiosity in his eyes. He thinks that maybe Arryn was like him, not trusting very easily but Peter thinks she's similar him in a different way. The feeling of her maybe having powers like him filled him with hope, guessing it has to do something with her eyes. She seems to notice when he uses his super speed, which no one really ever sees. Peter looked at his hand and notices that they were still holding each other's hand, Arryn quickly let's go while looking a bit embarrassed.
'I guess she gets embarrassed easily.' Peter concludes in his head and then sees that Arryn didn't eat the Twinkie that he gave her and asks while pointing at it, "So you gonna eat that?"
She pouts and starts to open it while saying, "Of course, my friend gave it to me."
Peter stares at her, a bit stunned and asked, "So you saw that?" she nods slowly and takes a bite out of the Twinkie.
"I can basically see everything," she shrugs and finishes off her Twinkie. He leans toward her with arms folded looking interested and grins "Really, I didn't know anyone else the same condition as me."
"Speaking of which, what exactly are yours? "Arryn asks while adjusting her glasses.
Peter smirks at her question and then folds his arms behind his head, "Well let's just say I can move really fast."
"Then why were you late this morning?" she questions while Arryn gives him a confused look. Peter then answers while sighing, "It's a long story, actually."
"Aww the two losers of the school decided to pair up and become friends," cackled a voice from behind Peter.
Arryn looks up to see who it was then raises her eyebrows in shock and simply says, "Crap."
Peter turns quickly and sees that the Kleinstock Brothers had found them. Arryn looked nervous so Peter decides to get up from his chair and have a bit of fun with the brothers.
"Yes and the dumbest people in the school are coincidentally twin brothers," Peter retorts at their comment which causes Arryn to smirk.
He continues, "Maybe if you two put your head together you'll actually learn to read." Harlan fumes and pulls Peter by his shirt then he holds Peter up about 5 inches from the ground. Peter just smirks at his reaction and knows even though Harlan is stronger than him, he would always be faster.
"Alright you shit heads, leave him alone its me you have beef with." Arryn spoke with slight bitterness in her voice as she tries to get up from her seat. Sven puts his hand on Arryn's should to stop her from getting out of her seat by forcefully pushing her back down.
"Let go of me!" Arryn yells at Sven whilst trying to escape his grip, causing people to notice the situation and gather.
"Ah, ah my brother has to take care of Maximoff because of his loud mouth but you'll have you chance and our money." Sven spoke with smugness and turn to pay attention to Peter and his brother's situation.
"I suggest you shut up before I force my fist down your throat, Maximoff." Harlan threatened Peter, who was struggling to get out of his grip. Peter turns and can see Arryn in the chair with a worried face. At this point about half of the lunch room was watching at the scene taking place and it made Arryn visually nervous. Peter decides to try to confirm if Arryn could really see him.
Peter smirks at Harlan and quickly remarks, "I wouldn't want that hand to even wipe my ass." This ticks Harlan off even more and then he pulls back his clenched fist to punch Peter, who took his chance and used his speed to twist Harlan's arm behind his back. Arryn gasps then says in a hushed tone "You are like me." and stares at him wide-eyed while everyone else cheers for a fight. Peter looks at her with a shocked face, shocked that she could see him using his power. "You can see me?" He whispers mostly to himself.
"Argh, let go of me!" Harlan shouted while trying to get out of Peter's grip.
Peter laughingly says while holding his shoulder and hand, "Well if I do that you'll punch me in my face, I suggest Sven here to let go of my new friend before I twist your arm more."
Arryn struggles against Sven more for him to let go of her and began to speak "Peter, I don't think…"But she was suddenly cut off when the lunch room door opens with a loud bang and a male teacher walks through. The teacher stood a good 6'5 foot and had a strong physique due to being the wrestling coach. He had furious blues eyes that contrasted his light brown hair, his name was Cortez. He yells "Maximoff, Kleinstocks, and Broker in my office now!" Peter let go of Harlan's arm and then looks at Arryn with apologetic eyes. She seems to look a bit nervous about going to the teacher's office. He thinks that this might be the first time she got in serious trouble. Being late and staying for detention is one thing but Mr. Cortez was a tough cookie, especially since Sven was one of his wrestlers.
In Mr. Cortez's Office, Arryn and Cortez himself were the only ones sitting while the brothers and Peter stood. Mr. Cortez was giving a speech about physical violence is not an answer to their problems, which Peter wasn't really listening to. He was too distracted thinking what Arryn said, that he was like her. He hopes this is the answer to why she was able to see him when he was using his super speed. He looks at Arryn who looked back but then quickly looked away from him back to Mr. Cortez. Finally Cortez ends his speech and lets them off with a warning because there was no real physical contact.
"But that doesn't mean next time I will go easy on you guys, even you Sven!" He added loudly while eyeing Sven. Everybody takes a relieved sigh and walked out from the teacher's office. Peter grabs Arryn's hand as they walked out, "Earlier when you said I was like you, what did you mean?" He asked. Arryn looks away to think of what to say, he could see that she regretted what she had said earlier in the lunch room. "I'll talk about it in detention," she said quietly, it was just above a whisper. Peter nodded quickly and let go of her hand then they went their separate ways. Peter smirks and thinks that Arryn might be more interesting than she appears.
"So that means I have to actually go to detention." He complains to himself out loud then gave a big sigh and continued down the hall way.
(Arryn's POV)
'He could be just like me, I saw him with my own two eyes,' Arryn was frantically thinking to herself. Arryn was anxious to know about Peter's powers and thought maybe she'll learn how to truly control hers. Seeing Peter easily defend himself from Harlan, she thought maybe he had full control of his speed and could maybe show her how to control her visions. She would also have someone to discuss it with without feeling like a freak and not having to hide anything from him, a true friend. Arryn smiles to herself thinking that she could finally be herself and not be nervous around someone. She'll finally have someone who also shares the pain of being different.
She arrives to her last class on time and sat in her usual spot. As class started she relies that she didn't have an eraser for her pencil and looks to her left side and sees a girl with long auburn hair and wearing a red sweater. Arryn decides ask the girl next to her
"Hey, you got an eraser? I kind of left mines home." The girl barely turns to look at her but Arryn could easily see pair of familiar blue eyes.
"Yes, here you go." The girl quietly says not even glancing at Arryn and quickly gave her an eraser.
"What's your name?" Arryn asks curiously and tries to get a better look of her by leaning toward her.
"Wanda," She answered hurriedly.
"What's your last name?" Arryn questioned, again. She could clearly see that Wanda was getting and bit closed up because of Arryn's questions and obviously wanted her to stop.
"Maximoff," Wanda quickly spoke, Arryn barely heard it come from her and then nodded.
"Ah, you're related to Peter then." Arryn exclaimed while Wanda has a shocked look on her face looking at Arryn. Wanda had finally given Arryn her full attention, and Arryn could see her face, it was a bit like Peters especially their eyes.
"You know my brother?" asked Wanda. She was finally the one to ask questions now. Arryn gives a small nod and gives a slight smile.
"Yeah, I met him today and he helped me deal with the Kleinstock brothers." Arryn answers back and sees Wanda's shocked face.
"I'm surprised that he even spoke to you, he's not really trusting and usually does things only if it interested him." Wanda states while looking over Arryn, "I guess he found you interesting. Do be careful though, sometimes he's selfish and loses interest pretty easily," Wanda continues while her shocked face becoming an apologetic and worried. Arryn gives her a questionable look.
"What do you-," Arryn was cut short by a cough from the teacher who was staring at her from their desk. Arryn than nervously looks back to her school work to continue her assignments, and then looks over at Wanda who appears unfazed and continues her school work.
Arryn asks to herself mentally, 'Why do I keep getting cut off mid-sentence today?'
She places her elbows on her desk and starts to think about Wanda's warning about Peter, 'Maybe I shouldn't get so excited about telling Peter and listen to Wanda's warning. ' She gets a little sadden the thought of Peter not being her friend because of disinterest. She'll be all alone again and have experience a loss of a friend, something she didn't want to deal with. Arryn thought about actually skipping class but decided that that'll just get her in more trouble than she was already in.
'Maybe, I'll make something up and leave early.' She resolves and then before she knew it the time flew by and her last class was over. The bell rings and her classmates turn in their assignment and spilling out through the door. Arryn sighs to herself and gathers her stuff and packs it into her brown, leather rucksack then slings it over her shoulder. She looks at the door and sees that Wanda was just leaving and tries to catch up to her. It was too late, Wanda had already got caught in the crowd of student leaving for home and Arryn was not able to reach her quick enough.
'Dammit, I had more questions.' She cursed herself and just turned to go to the opposite direction, the library, where detention was usually held. Arryn knew this because she use to study at the library until they kicked her out around 6 at night. She enjoyed the quiet and the lighting was gentle enough that it didn't hurt her eyes. As she walked in she sees Ms. Aquilla and greets her, "Hey, Ms. Aquilla."
"Hello Arryn, aren't you a bit early for detention?" Ms. Aquilla says while looking up from her assignments she's grading on the very front table in the library.
Arryn shrugs and takes of her glasses then replies, "I do not really have anything else to do but come here, might as well do it early." She puts her glasses in her jacket pocket and sits down to start on her homework.
Ms. Aquilla stands up and turns to Arryn to say, "I'll be back in a moment, make sure Maximoff doesn't cause any trouble."
Arryn nods at her and replies, "I make no promises." Ms. Aquilla leaves and two minutes later she sees Peter quickly coming toward her from the side of her and about to tap her on the shoulder.
"Hello Peter," she greeted then turns to look at him.
Peter looked a bit shocked and then says "You can really see everything, huh."
Arryn nods and turns towards him. "And you can go pretty quickly where no one but I can see you, why is that?"
Gahhh So sorry that this took a moment! I had to really catch up on school DX!
Please guys tell me what you think, so I could revise it and make it better. Also what do you think about Arryn, I really want you guys to really know her and understand how she thinks. And yes Cortez will be important in this story, not just yet though.
