Once there was a boy named Peter. Peter does not talk very much, but when Peter wants to say something, Peter speaks. In Peter’s life he has only his mother who raised him as a single parent because Peter’s father left him when he was young. Peter’s mom raised him in such a way that he would not feel upset because his father was not around. Peter is shy and scared to go to school because there are many people in his bus that go to his school in the bus and many evil people that look at peter like a devil. There is one student named Jacob. He is shorter than the average height, but Jacob had two round big eyes and always walked telling lies and making people in his group listen and say what he says and does.
In Peter’s school students have a gang of their own like the Athletes (Jocks), the Goths but there is a gang called the extroverts who are very loud and wild because the Extroverts along with the Athletes (Jocks) make a lot of noise. Peter likes to be in a quiet place like the library or at home, but the Extroverts disturbs Peter, so Peter goes to the library because the library is the only quiet place in school. Peter always has lunch in the library in the back against the wall in the library. The librarian asks Peter what you are doing. Peter says he is having lunch because the cafeteria is loud. Peter walks down the hallway with his head down trying to get to his next class. While walking to his class the Extroverts calls Peter and smiles at his face Peter walks away and goes to his class.
While the Extroverts laughs a girl named Nicole feels bad for Peter, so Nicole says sorry to Peter because Peter is in the same class that Nicole is in so she apology for the extroverts laughing at Peter. Peter just says it is all right and walks to his next class, Nicole tries to introduce herself, but Peter feels shy, so he just walks to class so the next time when Nicole sees Peter in class Nicole starts a conversation by saying hi to Peter. Peter then said hi to Nicole, Nicole then asked questions to get to know Peter. Peter answers the questions that Nicole asks. After class in lunch Nicole sits with Peter because Peter sits by himself at lunch, so Nicole sits at the table where Peter sits at, but Adhi from the Extroverts calls Nicole to sit at the Extroverts table because John the leader of the Extroverts called Nicole to sit at the table with the rest of the Extroverts. Nicole apologized to Peter and went to her table she always sits at then Adhi asks Nicole why you were sitting with Peter instead of sitting at our table, Nicole tells that Peter is all by himself nobody is at his table that is why I was at Peter’s table says Nicole. Adhi then warns and says to Nicole not to make the mistake or John will get mad.
Peter do not talk to a lot of people, so one student named Jacob who rides the bus Peter takes to school Jacob sees Peter as a joker and easy to fool, so Jacob in detention tells his friend George “let’s pick on Peter and make him in trouble by writing a love letter telling it is from peter.”
Jacob and George write the letter then gives it to Jennifer who John has a crush on, Jennifer reads the letter then gives it to John saying, “Peter wrote this letter to me”, John then walks up to Peter and tells nobody wants to be near you or talk to you, so stop writing a love letter to make a girl like you.
Peter tells John, “I do not write letters to anybody you got the wrong person” John leaves after warning Peter.
Peter gets upset then Nicole in class asks Peter “why are you upset what happened?” Peter says somebody got me in trouble with John by writing a letter to his crush Jennifer.
Nicole tells Peter just leave it do not be upset for that then Nicole asks Peter “do you know who wrote the letter?” Peter says he does not know, Nicole then tells Peter that Jacob and George wrote the letter to get you in trouble.
Peter, after class observes and sees how people are. Then Peter tells himself that nobody is good, there are some evil people in school like Jacob. After school on the bus from school to home Jacob talks to Peter, but Peter tries not to make eye contact and tries not to look at his eyes because he has evil eyes. Peter gets down from the bus and walks to home on the way to home Nicole sees Peter walking, Nicole stops her car and asks Peter if he wants to be drop off at home Peter says he’s fine with walking to home, Nicole then walks out of her car and decides to walk with Peter to his home.
Nicole tries to get to know about Peter more when Peter gets home and says bye and Peter’s mom says “hi” to Nicole and invites her to have a cup of tea.
Nicole has a cup of tea then leaves; Peter’s mom asks Nicole before leaving “how do you know Peter?” Nicole says “I am in the same class Peter is in.”
Peter’s mom asks Nicole “do you want to hang out with Peter?”
Nicole says, “sorry I need to leave, the Extroverts wants me to meet them at the coffee shop maybe next time, so see you later Peter.” T
hen, Peter’s mom asks him “are you friends with Nicole?”
Peter says to his mom “Nicole is just in my class, and she talks to me in class, but I think Nicole do not see me as a friend because John and the Extroverts including Adhi do not hangout with anyone other than with the other Extroverts and the Jocks.”
The next day in class, Nicole asks Peter if he wants to hangout after school, Peter says to Nicole “I’m fine I have work to do, I will be fine on my own John and Adhi will not like if they see me hanging out with anybody in your group.
Nicole then after class asks Peter “what are you going to do after school?”
Peter says “I will go to home, do my homework, do my chores like the laundry and cleaning, then I am going to watch my favorite Inside Out”
Nicole then asks if I can come along Peter says “you can come if you like watching animated movies” Nicole then decides to watch a movie with Peter
. Peter tells fun facts about animated movies in the movie hall to Nicole while Peter is talking Nicole gets a phone call from John but, Nicole does not answer the phone then Adhi sees Nicole, calls her, and asks, “why are you hanging out with Peter?”
Nicole says to Adhi “Peter kindly invited me to watch a movie, so I came”
Adhi then asked Nicole if John called or not, Nicole said “John called, but I did not pick the call.”
John then calls Adhi and asks if Nicole is with you because she is not answering to any of my call, Adhi says to John “Nicole and I is watching a movie in the theatre, John then hangs up the phone and Adhi says hi to Peter then tells Nicole pick up the call when John calls.
Then little Jacob see Nicole with Peter and make a phone call to John and says that Nicole is hanging out with Peter. When John hears, Nicole is talking to Peter, John gets mad so the next day John, Adhi and the extroverts including the Jocks tell to Nicole hangout with us in the coffee shop.
Nicole tells to everybody “I will come so I will see you guys at the coffee shop.
In class, Peter asks Nicole “you want to watch a new movie release? I am going to the Matinee show you want to come along?”
Nicole says “sorry I have other plans you carry on by going to the movies on your own Peter” then goes to class.
After class Nicole says “I will come along with you to the movies, Peter and Nicole go to the movies meanwhile in the ticket counter little Jacob see Nicole with Peter then calls and says Nicole is in the movie theatre with again, John gets mad and hang up the phone.
The next day at lunch, John asks Nicole “why did you not come to coffee shop? Nicole said she had other plan”
John then said “if you had you should call us let us know if you have other plans, did you have plans to hang out with someone else? Little Jacob called me and said you were at the movie theatre with Peter, were you at the theatre with anyone or were you by yourself”
After lunch, Nicole goes to class. In class Peter asks Nicole “There is comedy movie marathon are you coming?”
Nicole says sorry to Peter and says “I cannot come, so you have a nice time” Peter says ok, then after school goes to home and asks his mom if he can go to the movies, Peter’s mom says ok and asks Peter if Nicole is coming along with you Peter says Nicole has other plans maybe John and Adhi might have planned to meet somewhere with the group so Nicole said to go to the movies by myself, so Peter’s mom says to be safe and enjoy watching the movie.
Then, Peter’s mom sits down and worry about Peter. Then little Jacob calls Peter’s mom and tell Peter’s life is in trouble laughing like a evil person and keeps the phone down, Peter’s mom gets scared and takes the car and go to the movie theater where Peter is to see if he is safe when Peter see his mother in the hallway during the interval time Peter ask to his mom “did you come to watch a movie?”
His mom then asks him “are you alright?”
Peter says I am all right, Peter’s mom then hugs him very tight and cries. Peter asks what happened then his mom says nothing let’s go home you can have your own movie marathon, Peter and his mom go home then the next day Peter mom calls school and asks the principal named Ananda Ravi Sundaram for protection the principal asks what happened, Peter’s mom says somebody from Peter’s school and said Peter’s life is in trouble so I want Peter to have some protection. Peter in class tries to talk to Nicole, but Nicole was not in class Peter gets a little upset so the next day when Peter sees Nicole in class Peter finds talking to Adhi, Peter feels nervous and shy, Nicole says hi and gives a big hug then Adhi says hi to Peter and bye to Nicole and go to his class.
Nicole then says “I missed talking to you, I was sick so I am sorry Peter for not being in class I know you missed me because I am the only person in school that talks to you Peter then said “it is alright, I am fine feeling happy”
Peter says to Nicole “take care of your health” then Nicole says “Peter you are a nice boy any girl will like you that wants to talk to and hear what you talk about even though you are very reserved but any girl will like to with you”
Peter then smiled and went to his seat and opened his book because the teacher was reading his favorite titled The Great Gatsby because Peter likes to read all the time after class Nicole talks to the extroverts and to the Jocks and plans to have a party with a lot of drinks over the weekend Nicole then sees Peter walking in the hallway so Nicole says bye to the Extroverts and the Jocks and say I will see you guys later then Nicole walk up to Peter’s locker and said hi and started talking about the plans she have for the weekend then asks Peter what are your plans for the weekend peter says I am going to the art museum with my mom then have a movie night. Nicole then says there is a party this weekend you come if you want to, Peter tells Nicole “I am not a fan of party there will be a lot of people and it will be loud with loud music so you have fan”
Nicole says fine and leave. Peter and his mom have a movie night Peter plays the movie About Time while Peter is watching the movie he gets thoughts about Nicole like the time he spent watching movies with Nicole then his mom asks if he likes anyone, Peter shakes his head “I am fine” then his mom also asks, “where is Nicole?”
Peter says, “Nicole and her group The Extroverts and The Jocks having a party” then his mom asks, “do you like Nicole?” or do you have any feelings for Nicole?”
Peter says “I do not know it feels different watching movies without Nicole because like you listen to what I talk about, Nicole even listens to what I talk about. Then his mom asks, “do you like Nicole” Peter says a little, so his mom says, “go tell Nicole about your feelings” but Peter says, “there is John and Adhi, so how can I tell her my feelings?” his mom says to talk to Nicole in class because John and Adhi will not be around, so you can tell your feelings then.
In class Peter sits behind and says to Nicole his feelings by saying “the time I spent with you was very special and I like you”
Nicole smiles and asks, “Peter, are you alright?” and smiles, Peter then gets upset after class Peter walks by Nicole’s locker where John and Adhi hang out in between class.
Peter asks Nicole “why you did not say anything when I shared my feelings and said I like you, but you smiled and did not say anything am I not the boy that you want to be with? I know that I am weird, do not talk a lot, like to be alone but you are the only person treated me as a different person and you enjoyed hanging out with me and watching movies with me, that did not make you to have feelings for me?
Nicole then says “stop playing around I see you just as a friend, I live a different lifestyle where there is a lot of people and parties that is how I like to be, but you do not like to be in a big crowd, do not like loud that is how you like to be, we cannot be together I like you as a friend, so find someone better than me that will like to do what you like and accepts how you like to be. Peter then starts crying and says stop lying, Nicole says I am not lying then John and Adhi come and asks, “what happened Nicole says Peter said he likes me, but I said no”
John says, “not only Nicole no one likes you so leave everybody alone”
John hits Peter while Adhi controls Nicole and walks away and goes to the coffee shop. Peter cries when Nicole walks away when John beats him up and does not look big back. Peter cries when he goes to home his mom sees him crying, Peter then shows his face to his mom then she asks to Peter what happened?
Peter then tells his mom that he told his feelings to Nicole, but she said she sees me just as a friend she does not like me as more than a friend and she did not look back when I was getting beaten up by John, she went walking away hand in hand with Adhi.
Peter’s mom then tells Peter “I’m sorry for telling you to tell your feelings to Nicole I thought Nicole likes you because she listens to what you talk about, but Nicole likes boys who is outgoing and likes to party.”
Peter’s mom then says, “do not cry someone will come and she will understand you and will always be with you.”
Then, Peter’s mom gets him a cup of coffee then a girl at the doorstep knocks the door and asks permission if she can come in, Peter’s mom invites her in and asks her name and asks why are you here what is the matter?
The girl then says her name is Chandini and she is in Peter’s class, but he does not know me, but I know him like Peter do not talk very much and likes to be alone, even I followed Peter wherever he went and felt bad when John was beating up Peter, so I wanted to check and see how he is and talk to him.
Peter’s mom asks Chandini “would you like to have something to drink?”
Chandini says no it is alright then says, “just came to check and talk to Peter”
Peter’s mom leaves Chandini and Peter alone to talk. Chandini then asks Peter “how are you feeling?”
Peter says, “I am ok” Chandini then says, “does it hurts” Peter says, “no I am fine”
Peter asks Chandini “why you want to see me?”
Chandini says I came to see you because I like you, Peter says you like me why? C
handini says “I followed wherever you went, and I think we are made for each other and like the same things and I want to be there for you, do not worry if Nicole do not like and care about you, I like you and I care about you Peter then says expect my mom nobody else like me but why you.
Chandini says, “I do not care about what other people in school says or think about you I like you and your mom like you that is enough in life to move on do not care about what other people think about you.
Peter then gives a tight hug to Chandini crying out loud then Chandini wipes the tears off Peter’s face and gives a peck on the cheek then Peter gives a rose to Chandini and says I Love You then calls his mom to come to the living room holding Chandini’s hand Peter said to his mom Chandini and me is going to the movies we will be back before dinner time.
Chandini and Peter live a happy life being there for each other.
