Petra's POV

" Where have you been? " , my brother asked me

I think that's the question parents ask their kids when they leave the house without any notice.

Usually, I inform Peter of my whereabouts. But with me trying to help Scott escape, I just couldn't tell my brother where I was going.

" Just out. " , I replied simply

" Doing what? " , he crossed his arms

I think that's the next question that parents ask their kids. Sometimes I wonder if I ever had a father, then Peter would be a close resemblance to him since sometimes he gets so protective over me.

" Magical stuff " , I exaggerated with hand gestures

" Such a lame excuse. " , Peter retorted

It's nice to know that I was dragged all the way to Skull Rock just to hear Peter's rambling. I mean seriously, I have better things to do than to be scolded or judged by my silbing. I don't know which one is worse: being scolded by your parents or being scolded by your silbing.

I have no parents, so scratch that thought.

I guess being scolded by your silbing is worse in my case right now.

" Explaining to the lost boys that you took them to Neverland to retrieve them away from their broken homes because you were lonely is a lame excuse because I was your company the entire time we were in Neverland. " , I scoffed.

And there goes my big mouth.

" I needed to build a team, Petra. Come on now, recruiting boys didn't turn out to be so bad. " , he shrugged

Hmm, especially when the lost boys try to flirt with me, don't even get me started on that.

" I'm the only girl. " , I reminded him

" And I tend to keep it that way. I don't want to have to deal with emotional roller coasters, breakups, complaining, stubbornness, and attitude. " , he rolled his eyes. " I only could handle one girl with all of that. "

" But you were able to handle Wendybird " , I pointed out

" That's because she was easy to manipulate. " , he rolled eyes. " Her strength was nowhere to be found since she wanted to consider herself a damsel in distress. Which proved my point of how girls are weak. " , he nodded his head.

Big mistake.

His emerald eyes widened at his realization of his words before he rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly. I crossed my arms while tapping my foot impatiently with a stern expression.

" Did I say weak? I meant unique. " , he chuckled nervously. " To think that girls can express their emotions at different levels is pretty unique compared to boys. "

I rolled my eyes at his childish reply. Peter knew that I didn't approve of him calling girls weak, yet he slips out of his mouth sometimes which results in me giving him the look.

The cold glare that would make anyone immediately straighten up his or her attitude. It's always business when it comes to offending a girl, so don't even try to come up with an excuse.

" Alright. Great conversation, Petra. As much as I would like to annoy you with my presence, I must retire to my bed. " , Peter announced

" Sure. Go on. Make your escape. " , I clicked my tongue

A small chuckle escaped from his lips before he kissed my forehead and disappeared before my presence. I took a deep breath and sighed in relief to know that Peter wasn't going to get on me.

Hopefully I wouldn't have to think about that werewolf anymore. He is gone now, far far away from me.

Now I am able to finally go back to reality. Just me and this island by itself. Just me caring for the lost boys and making sure they are still alive. Just attending my duties in Neverland. Just me hanging out with my brother. Just me sometimes being lazy in bed.

Just me and reality.

Face it, Petra. This feeling was worth nothing. You met an attractive boy and well it was not too long ago when you said goodbye. He probably already moved on with the realization of us never happening.

Maybe this feeling that I had was just a phase.
