Reasons Why I Will Forever be #TeamPeter:
He drives his mom’s minivan instead of his own black Audi so Kitty can ride with them to school.
He actually initiated their kiss in seventh grade and it wasn’t because of a spin the bottle game. They were alone and he just went for it. It was also his own first kiss.
“I started liking you…Why do you think I kissed you that day at McClaren’s house back in seventh grade? It’s why I went along with this thing in the first place. I’ve always thought you were cute…’
Years later he still remembers the smell of her shampoo, and asks her if she could go back to it when she starts using a new one she stole from Margot.
“I’m sleepy.” He closes his eyes and snuggles against me. “Tell me a bedtime story, Covey.”
He asks her to go with him to an estate sale and he gets her Mocha Sugar donuts on his way to pick her up.
He pushes her to negotiate with the estate manager for the reindeer she wanted and then he convinces him to give it to her for free.
He leaves her a note asking her if she could take the bus the next day because he wanted to give Kitty a ride to school in his Audi so she could show it off.
“Wait, I thought I was your dream guy,’ Peter says. Not to me, to Kitty. He knows he’s not my dream guy. My dream guy is Gilbert Blythe from Anne of Green Gables. Handsome, loyal, smart in school.
He bakes fruitcake cookies for her from scratch.
He gets insanely jealous whenever Josh is around.
“‘Then just in case,’ Peter says, and he leans his head out and kisses me on the lips, open-mouthed and sure… When he pulls away, Peter’s smiling. ‘Night, Lara Jean.’”
He tells his mom about her.
“He looks at you a lot, Lara Jean. When you’re not paying attention. He looks at you, to see if you’re having a good time.”
He wants to be the last call before she goes to sleep.
He reads all 7 Harry Potter books to get her references.
He gets her the expensive necklace that she’s wanted for years for Valentine’s.
“My hands fly to my mouth. It’s my necklace, the heart locket from his mom’s antique store, the very same necklace I admired for so many months. At Christmas when Daddy said the necklace had been sold, I thought it was gone from my life forever. “I can’t believe it,” I whisper, touching the diamond chip in the middle.”
Yes, he spends time with Gen and won’t tell LJ the reason why she needs him (her dad was having an affair with a young girl and she had no one to confide in but him), but him keeping Gen’s secret actually means he’s a genuinely trustworthy person.
“No. When I get you back, I’m gonna put that necklace back around your neck and pin you.” He tries to hold my eyes with his own. “Like the 1950s. Remember, Lara Jean?”
He plans a Sixteen Candles themed surprise party for her eighteenth birthday.
He gives her a Sleepless in Seattle inspired promposal on top of the Empire State Building.
He has Kitty teach him how to French braid Lara Jean’s hair.
He goes all the way across town in the middle of their trip to get her cookies from a place she’d always wanted to try.
He plans her dad’s bachelor party.
He still hangs out with Kitty even when they’re broken up.
He suggests the sky-lanterns for her dad’s wedding as an asian tradition to acknowledge her mom on the day.
He stands up for her in front of their whole school and gets suspended for it, and tells her “I did it for us. It’s you and me, kid.”
He tries his best to reassure her that they can make it long distance. He even considers transferring to UNC when she doesn’t get into UVA.
He doesn’t sleep with her on Beach Week because he feels like she’s saying goodbye.
He still remembers the first time he ever saw her at the first sixth-grade assembly, when she had a backpack with her name written in glitter and her hair got caught in her chair.
He is constantly fighting for them.
He writes an amended contract that says:
