John's POV I tell Peggy what I read out of her diary she looks at me with a blood red face and with little tears filling her eyes. I feel so bad I know I shouldn't have read it. I know it's wrong of me that I read it. I feel like I just killed someone I feel so so guilty. I look down and back up at Peggy with a tear rolling down her face. I stand up and say "I'm so sorry Peggy... I know I shouldn't have I'm so sorry" I get a reaction from Peggy that I did not expect. she comes over to me and hugs me tears rolling down her face. At first, I don't know what to do after a second I hug her back and say again
"I'm so sorry" I don't get a normal response from her like 'oh it's fine' or 'don't ever talk to me again' or something like that no instead I get an "I only have one question.... do you like me back?" instead of answering right away I kinda just stand there almost frozen. I don't know if I should tell her or not so I just stay silent.
Peggys POV
I hug John with tears rolling down my face. I look so dumb and weak right now. I really didn't want to ask this but something got a hold of me and I asked
"Do you... uhh like me back?"
I hear his heart beat get a little faster. I feel like he doesn't and he just doesn't want to tell me. I just hug him a bit tighter. After about another minute of him still not answering my question I unwrap my arms around him and walk out of the room. I walk to my room and flop down on my bed and sigh. I hold the key from my journal in my hand. I open my hand and drop the key. I get my laptop and open it then start on my homework.
