Can you childhood friend for the guy?

Hey! I'll join :3
Give me a second to find a picture

Name: Peter James Cooper
Age: 16
Looks(Pic):

Peter put his books into his locker grumpily. He was not happy at his new school. It didn't feel right. He didn't have any friends and was awkward in the new crowd of people. He kind of stuck out too. He'd already been poked at, given weird glances, and yelled at by multiple people. Not a single person cared enough to ask him his name outside of class so far and he ate food alone at brunch and lunch. Ever since he joined this school too, he couldn't stop thinking about River. He hadn't thought of her in like nine years since he joined the school, and now all of a sudden she was back in his mind. The same thought re-ran through his head as he thought of the girl he missed dearly. Is she still alive? Is she ok? Is she happy? It was torture every day to think about the girl that had been torn away from his life without any warning. It still hurt after what, ten years? He shook his head looking down at his shoes. No. He can't stop and feel sorry for himself now. He had his own life separate from hers and he needed to move on. He looked up glancing around again at the people he would be graduating with. Then, he saw her. This girl that he saw walk by every day. No big deal she was just some girl that walked by every once and a while. She was beautiful, from what he saw, but then, as he watched her walk by this time, he saw her eyes. Bright, dazzling green eyes, and hauntingly familiar. Peter stopped clumsily, awkwardly, as he watched the girl walk by with a small strut to her step. Thoughts raced through his mind. No... It can't be. No way that isn't her, how could that be her? Unfortunately he didn't have time to think, for some kid thought it'd be funny to shove him aside into the lockers. He grunted as his shoulder hit the hard metal of the lockers, yet quickly in a last minute flurry yelled out, "River!" to the girl who was walking away too fast for him to catch up.

(Yeah I default to past tense, but if you want I can make it present tense?)

Hey! I'll join! give me one second.

Peter James Is a pretty happy lad. Or at least it seems like that. Really at home he lives with an abusive Father and his mom is out of the picture. He practically takes care of his little sister Jane who is only 8 and he has to constantly protect her from his father. They all live in a three room apartment in the bad part of town and life is not that great for him. Though, at school, Peter puts on a mask. He's happy as ever and if you ask anyone who knows him, they'd say that he has a great life. His favorit(theme) song is white winter hymnal by Fleet Foxes and plays it on the ukelele all the time in the quads of school. He's a pretty outgoing guy. Though one day he meets a girl names Jordan. Shy, quiet girl who seems to be hiding from everyone. Not really connected to, well, life. What will he do?

(Oh, haha! I just like writing. :3 Why don't you start?)

Peter's eyes widened as the girl walked up to him and helped him up. No. It couldn't- it can't be. How could this be possible it was River! Peter tried to form words from his lips, but only a mere squeak came out as she helped him onto his feet. His hazel eyes were amazingly wide and didn't break contact with River's at all from the moment she helped him up. He couldn't help it. She looked so different, but hey it's been ten years, right? Maybe she only changed physically, but that too was unlikely. The only thing he had to go off of her was her voice, which was surprisingly nice, and he eyes. Finally realizing that he hadn't talked yet, Peter cleared his throat. "Rive-" his voice cracked going up an octave. He blushed a dark red color then tried again. "River." he said this time unfaltering. "You-You-... You're alive." he managed to spit out from his lips. "And you... remember me."

Peter shuffled his feet awkwardly. He wasn't sure what to say. Anything would be fine. "Uh... I thought all this time you'd still be taller than me." he muttered still examining his shoes.

"Oh uh, next I have bio. Its right near each other. Meet at brunch? here?" he said pointing to the ground. he was still in complete shok seeing her, and wouldn't be able to think of anything else the next period.
(sorry I'm in a hurry :/)

Peter walked through the halls and overheard Serina, his ex, calling someone a dork. "Haha good one Serina. Dork. Ha." He said sarcastically. "That's got to be the most original thing ever." he said loudly yelling over to her.

"Woah woah." Peter said stopping a turning. "Serina. come on. I ran into her. Aren't you getting a litle too old for playground fights?" he said tapping her shoulder. "If you're mad get mad at me."

(Sure! You start)

Peter walked home from school taking a long sigh as he it closer to his home. He was dreading the moment he had to go home. But it came by every day. He looked up at the door to his apartment and opened the door. He came in seeing his sister sitting cross cross at a table doing her school work. James glued on a smile and sat next to her. "Hey jane-bug." He said kissin her head. He heard snaking on his couch and looked over at his father sleeping heavily on the couch. He gave a small sigh of relief. "How long have you been here?" He asked

"Half an hour. I walked home with my friend Sophie and we learned about chickens today I'm class. Did you know we get eggs from chickens? Chickens are cool." Jane said sweetly not looking up from her work. Peter smiled. "Good for you. That's pretty cool huh" peter said

"Uh-uh-... yeah ok see you then." he said awkwardly with a small smile. He walked up a small hop to his step. What had just happened? This was unbelievable! He had dreamed and dreamed of seeing her again, mostly in hopelessness, but now, he felt like he could run to the moon and back. "What are you so happy about dork?" he heard one kid say, and he just smiled and laughed. "You're so original, wow, dork. Why didn't I think of that?" he said shooting him finger guns and running into his class before he could be punched in the face.

(want to time skip to after class?)

(ok, I'll start)
Peter walked to the lockers where he'd last meat River. The thought still made him giddy. I walked with a great happy stride and a smile glued to his face. Though, one part of him was scared. Like scared out of his mind. What if River didn't like him anymore? What if she was someone completely different? What if he'd changed too much? Though, he didn't let these thoughts make him look sad. He walked on happily stopping at the lockers he met her at.

Peter smiled down at her and gave a small sigh. "As I'll ever be." he said shrugging. He wasn't sure what to think. If someone had told him yesterday he'd meet River today, he'd laugh. But now, she's here and he has to be cool. "You start."

"Yeah" Jane said and continued on whatever she was doing on the table. Peter sighed. "Are you hungry?" he asked. Jane didn't respond, she just nodded. "Ok I'll make you something." "Thanks." she responded timidly. Peter walked calmly into his kitchen and opened the fridge. Nearly empty. He bit his lip and made a mental note to go shopping for food. But in the meantime, he had to work with what he had. He pulled out the nearly empty egg carton and looked inside. Two eggs. So he'd go hungry tonight. "We're having eggs tonight Janie baby." he said over to her putting on a happy tone.

Peter looked at the eggs, then at his and Jane's father. "Janie sweetie I'm going to run doen to the shop to get more food, ok?" he said feeling his pocket for his wallet. Still there. "Ok." she responded sweetly. "Will you be ok? Or do you want to come with me?" he asked. "I'll stay." she mumbled. Peter nodded. "Bye then." he said and walked out the front door.

He arrived at the store and saw some girl walking out crying. "Hey there, are you ok?" he said stopping and running up to her. "What's wrong?" he asked

"I've been ok. I just transfered here from a different school, so I've been a bit behind socially. If you didn't see that already." he said awkwardly getting quieter. "But, I feel better now. What about you?" he asked her.
