Andrew, Peter's Friend's POV's

"That Peter," I growl under my breath. "He's going to pay for telling me off." My other friend, Eric, looks at me in alarm. "Calm down, Andrew! He only told you off... You're acting like it's the end of the world!" I look at him, grimacing. "It might be, for all I know. What if he ruined my chances of girls liking me?--Not that I care, anyway..." I add hastily, noticing Eric's raised eyebrows through his exasperated look and half-moon spectacles. 

I throw my head to the schoolhouse when I hear the deafening ring of the alarm bell. Then, an idea pricks me in the cheek. "I know!" I say excitedly. "Maybe we could spread the fact to the school that Peter's schizophrenic!" Eric widens his eyes behind his glasses as his nostrils flare in fury. "Why would we do such a thing? Why would you do such a thing? He'd be ruined! He only got over that fact half a year ago! Do you want a reprise of your friend's almost suicidal misery?!" 

I stare at Eric halfheartedly. "He deserves it. He's been acting like a nerd ever since you've become his friend!" I criticize. "You are the 'brilliant' one, after all!" I realize that was wrong to say as Eric stares at me, horrorstruck and appalled. "Fine!"  he says finally. "Be the villain and ruin your--now your-- only friend! After that, you'll be alone. You'll stick out like a sore thumb! Being mischievous without being popular is stupid and foolish!" I stare at my 'ex-friend', aghast and ashamed. I run into the schoolhouse without another word. Whatever, I think to myself lividly in the middle of History. I'll get Peter back...I don't need Eric to spread a fact--and maybe even a little rumor of my own.
