The bell rang for our last period to end and it was time to go home.

Standing up out of my seat, I put everything in my backpack and flipped my hair over it once more.

I put my backpack over my shoulders,
and pulled my phone out of the side pocket to text my dad, Unlocking my phone, I saw I had one unread message. Clicking on it, I saw who it was from. My father.

Emilie I'm working late tonight
until 10. Lock the doors when you
get home, I love you.

Oh man,
this was the perfect opportunity.
Do I tell him about Peter?

I have never snuck out before. Well technically its not sneaking out if he's not home. One little lie, couldn't hurt right?

I stopped in the middle of the doorway and gathered myself together. I was going through denial.

I texted him back,

Okay dad. I'll be home all night , I love you too. Be safe. Xx

I put my phone back into the side pocket . Glancing up,
seeing Peter standing there clutching onto his backpack straps.

I startled.

His eyes bulged, "Whoa, calm down. C'Mary? Oh and what did your father say?" He said motioning me to walk with him down the hallway.

I let out one huge and final breath, "Yes, well no. He won't be home until 10 so I mean. I guess it will be okay."

He smiled at me, "Great."

We started walking towards the end of the hallway on the opposite side of the school. I could feel his eye's pierce at my body. I kept my eyes focused on the end of the hallway occasionally glancing over a bit seeing him look at me.

We finally reach the doors at the side of the building and walked outside. It was gloomy outside , "Where'd you park?"

"Right here." He said pointing to the Black Honda Jeep, that I was standing right next to.

"Oh," I said as he brushed past me and opened the car door for me to get in. His cologne hit my nose like a bullet into my heart. I then got in, "Thanks."

"No problem." He said slamming the door shut.

He walked in front of the car to the drivers seat and opened the door.
He threw his backpack into the back seat and got in the car.

He put the key in the ignition,and turned it on making the car start, "Seatbelt." He said shifting gears backing up out of the car space.

I grabbed the seatbelt and flung it over my body into the slot and clicked it, "You need to wear your seatbelt too, safety."

He laughed shifting gears once more, turning the wheel so we got out of the parking lot.

Massive butterflies grew through my stomach. My heart pounded, this was all new to me. It was kind of exciting.

"Let me worry about where I'm going first, Right or left?"

I looked both ways , "Left. We have to go out of the town's border."

He turned left and floored the gas pedal making the car go 10x faster, "Where do you even live?"

"Some place called Kingston. Its really hollow there."

He glanced over at me, while I glued my eyes to the road in front of us, "Oh, I've been there before, that's like 3 blocks down. Wouldn't it be a town made for a king though?"

I scoffed, "Obviously not."

He blushed gripping onto the stirring wheel, "Then it should've been called Queenston. Would you like a place where you can rule over?"

I shrugged, "I wouldn't know where to begin. What would I have to do to prove I could rule?"

Peter cocked his eyebrow, "You would have to prove to the common people that you are strong enough to rule by killing someone of importance to someone."

I looked over at him, "Wow, you really know your history."

His eyes widened, "I like learning about stuff like that, your majesty."

I smiled at his remark.

We sat in silence for a bit until I heard a buzzing sound. I looked around the car , trying to hear where it was coming from.

It was coming from Peter.

"I think your phone is buzzing."
I said looking down at his leg.

"Oh, would you mind getting it? And text back whoever is blowing up my device."

"Yeah, yeah of course." I leaned down towards his leg and went into his pocket to get his phone, my hand grazed over his dick, which was hard.

I looked up at him, but he just licked his lips and kept his eyes glued to the road ahead.

He had a flip phone. I didn't know people still had these. What a Oldie.

"Open it up, who is it from?" He said looking over at me.

I opened up the phone and pressed 'open message' , "It's someone named Tommy."

"Oh, Tommy. That's my twin, what'd he say?"

He had a brother.
I didn't write that down.

I opened up the message and read aloud:

"Opera confirmed,
Guess she's the one left..
It's been a while since I've seen
you brother.

Crows are in town, gonna follow up.
T"

I placed Peters phone down in one of the cupholders and looked up at Peter.

He looked scared, like he had just seen a ghost.

"Are you okay?" I asked.

"Yeah, Yeah I am. Just be ready when I pick you up, alright?"

He then stopped the car. I looked out the window, we were already at my house. How did we get here this fast?

How did he know, must've been a wild guess.
Then I realized it does say 'Jones' on the mail box.

"I will. Thank you for the ride home Peter." I said unbuckling my seat belt.

"Wait," He said slowly turning my face towards his. Our eyes locking. Looking at him closely he looks like he hasn't slept in a long time.

He slowly moved my face closer to his. He clenched his jaw as his lips grazed over mine as a tease, then pulled away, "Thank you for today, Mary."

He then let go of my face andncovered his mouth wiyh one hand closing his eyes.
I turned over opening the car door and walking out into the driveway. I couldn't look back, I knew he was going to wait until I went inside of my house.

I feel like he made a mistake.

My hands were shaking as I turned the knob on the door to walk inside of my house. I opened the door and closed it behind me. Falling against the door I touched my lips with my fingertips, it felt like cool ice. That was technically not a kiss, it was a tease.

But..who is Mary?
