A/n: I know I said I was finished with this but with how famous Tom has gotten has made me miss writing these. There were a lot of people that supported him when I first started writing this book, but he's really blown up now. There's so many memes of him on my feed and now all my friends know who he is. I just couldn't resist writing another chapter with the constant reminder of him!

"What?" You asked Peter, who was looking at you intently.

He looked like he was debating whether or not to do something important as he looked away and out the bus window. You shifted to one side and lifted your thigh off the seat a bit to prevent your legs from sticking so much. It felt like you were in an oven instead of a bus.

"Hello?! Earth to Penis Parker!" You teased knowing full well that he hated it when you called him Penis. You felt very clever for coming up with that first but he just thought you were an idiot.

A wide smile slowly spread across his face. "I hate you." His nose wrinkled as he said it and his hand went to playfully punch your shoulder.
"No you don't. What's up?" You shut off your phone and slid it into the pocket of your shorts.The bus bumped and you both winced.

"Nothing, relax." You lightly bumped your shoulder against his to display that if he ever wanted to talk you were always there for him. He hoped nothing was bothering him.

"You guys are so depressing." Alisha joked. Alisha was Peters ex and had dated Peter for 2 years before ending things with him a year and a few months prior to their field trip. She didn't seem to care while Peter was depressed out of his mind, but after a few weeks the rolls switched. Alisha became clingy towards Peter and he felt "meh" about her. Alisha had only confessed her feelings for Peter to you, but everyone secretly knew that she still was in love with him, and that as soon as he got in a relationship with someone she'd make the girls life hell.

"What!" You fake pouted. Alisha playfully shook her head. "In fact I'm leaving."
You grabbed her arm and snuggled against her shoulder. "Don't leave wife!"

Alisha pretended to consider it while looking at Peter. She was waiting for him to ask her not to switch seats, but he just stared out the window like he didn't know she was waiting for him to ask her to stay.

He didn't hate Alisha, he just could tell that she liked him. She was really flirty and would sometimes shoot a jealous glance at you when you and Peter joked around, which he didn't like. She was always texting him or trying to get the group to hangout. He knew being around her would just cause her feelings to grow, though, so while he always tried to include her, he avoided show too much interest. Everyone urged him to ask her out but he wasn't attracted to her whatsoever. It felt like their relationship happened so long ago.

"I think I'm going to sit by Enjaja. She says she's been dying to spill tea to me and I haven't given her a chance to. We're still getting married though, (y/n). Meet me at the entrance once we get to the zoo, okay?"  Alisha blinked rapidly as she said this as if to blink away tears but flashed her famous lopsided smile.

"Alright." You said as she started to jump from seat to seat not as discreetly as she thought. The bus driver threatened to write her a bus slip in response.

There was now extra room in the seat but instead of scooting away you playfully put your arm around Peter's shoulders, ready to give him a pep talk about the trip.

Peter hated seeing the animals all locked up, and you figured that that was why he looked so lost in his thoughts. Peter looked at you like he was going to throw up, though, and you quickly removed your arm. "Jesus Penis, am I that gross?" His expression didn't change. You decided that it wasn't the right time to point out that it rhymed.
"I have something I need to tell you."
"I was joking," you giggled nervously, "no need for a dramatic apology."
"Iminlovewithyou." He rushed it out so fast you weren't even sure if he really said it. He then sighed as if he was holding his breath from the moment he had figured out and had just now released it.

"You're kidding, right? What song is that from? Is it playing right now?" You searched his face frantically for any signs of him lying but didn't find any. Your heart seemed to beat once for every time the tires completed a full spin on the freeway.

The thing was, you loved him back.

"What about Alisha? She's pretty nice!" You suggested with a little too much enthusiasm. "Her dark hair really makes her blue eyes pop."

"I like Alisha, but I love you and I haven't been able to stop. Believe me, I've tried." Now it was Peters turn to blink away tears. "And I know it's stupid but I thought that maybe you could feel the same way about me."

You gulped and looked down at your hands.

You knew that Alisha would be devastated, but you also knew that Peter was the boy who bought you your first box of pads when you were too nervous to go yourself or tell your mom about what happened, he was the boy who helped you through your first heartbreak, he was the boy who did all your homework when it was too hard. He was the nicest boy you knew. You came to a decision.

"Your hunch is correct." You mumbled into your lap. You couldn't wipe the smile off of your face. "I like you."
