Peter hadn't expected such an indifferent response, considering that David had expressed earlier his ineptitude at the game. David was probably just a casual player, which meant he had some experience with the game and could probably play at a passable level. He lacked confidence though, Peter noted...

Peter rolled his eyes when David mentioned his parents. Parental authority was something Peter could never really agree with. Maybe it was because he had gotten sick of all the things his parents had tried (and often succeeded) to rope him into over the years. Not that all those things were bad; Pet...

Peter hadn't noticed that someone he knew had entered. He must've been too preoccupied with the playing pool. He scowled at the table; most of the balls were not yet pocketed, and they were spread out in less than optimal positions. Peter really needed more practice at this game. So you don't get cl...

((Peter Siu continued from Ice Trail )) Peter was not an alcoholic. Sure, he swung by the Varsity once (or twice, or maybe thrice) a week, and he didn't mind the taste, and he liked the buzz of alcohol, but he wasn't an alcoholic. That's what they all say. 2 months later, they're in AA. Getting into...

Peter hadn't really expected Brook to take him up on his offer. It was half a joke, half a polite gesture; it seemed a bit petty to not share even a little bit. Now he had to own up to it. He wasn't bitter about it or anything, but there was still that nagging feeling in the back of his head that fe...

In the end, Peter was mostly right with his assessment of Brook's bad mood. With Brook's description of his adventure to retrieve a "token of his affection", Peter couldn't help but smile. He himself was not fond of big romantic gestures; he had a tendency to screw it up by having bad timi...

What Peter lacked in ability at reading facial expressions and body language, he made up for with verbal nuances. His visual attention had a tendency to wander around during conversations, but Peter would always pay attention to the things that were said; years of this sort of behaviour had somewhat...

"I'm not really sure what I'll do," Tiffany said in response, shuffling nervously from the pressure of the question. "I'm going to Minnesota State University in Mankato, but I don't know what to major in yet. Maybe art history." Tiffany wished that she had gotten accepted to a sc...

Elton John wasn't on Tiffany's music library; she didn't recognize the song at all. That didn't mean she had any objection to the recommendation though. She nodded her affirmative to Andrew, and went and wrote the song name on the request sheet for the DJ. She noted there weren't many other songs on...

Tiffany had never really danced before. Sure the cheerleading routines had a lot of jumping around and gymnastics, but that didn't translate particularly well to the dance floor. Clearly, Andrew did not share this problem. He led the two of them in some simple steps, but never failed to lose the rhy...

Andrew acted like the perfect gentleman, helping her out of the car and holding her hand as they walked up to the door. He seemed to be a bit tense as they walked, so Tiffany squeezed his hand reassuringly. After all, nothing bad was going to happen tonight. It was prom: a night for everyone to have...

It was prom night, the most glorious night for any and every high school senior. She had spent the whole afternoon at the salon getting her hair curled, and then another two hours applying make-up. She and her mother had gone to a small dress boutique in Minneapolis to pick out her dress, and it was...

Peter drunk was far less perceptive than Peter sober. From what he could tell in his drunkenness, Mac was acting fairly receptively to Peter's advances. Point one: Mac hadn't reacted to Peter's flirting with a violent outburst, or even disgust. Point two: it appeared that Mac was starting to turn a ...

Peter hadn't really been paying attention to the approaching person. His mind had wandered off on some tangent about that shirt he had seen at Guess earlier that week. A rush of motion brought Peter's focus back to reality and the next thing he knew, some guy had almost knocked his beer out of his h...
