Something like love | Peter Parker

2

My dad made me hang out with Peter, not that I wasn't having fun he's a good guy and I like hanging out with him. But the thing is that I started hanging out with him more so for fun then for the mission. Which my dad wasn't too happy about.

It had been 2 weeks since I started at Midtown Tech. It wasn't all that bad. It was a little more bearable when I was with Peter.

I rolled out of my bed at 6:40 in the morning. I couldn't be late, not again. I threw on an old pair of distressed ripped jeans a plain T-shirt and my favorite pair of white sneakers and ran out the door, I had no time for coffee this morning. Bad start to the day.

I ran up the ridiculously big marble staircase at the front of Midtown Tech and through the stupid hallways all the way to my biology class. This was one of the only classes I didn't have with Peter.

"God I hate this class" I muttered underneath my breath while thumping the end of my pencil on my yet-to-be used notebook.

When the bell rang I grabbed my useless notebook and my bag quickly then ran out the door. As I passed underneath the door frame I spotted a familiar face. Peter!

"Peter?! What are you doing here?" I asked a little surprised.

"I wanted to walk you to your locker."

"Peter, my lockers within 4 feet of this class. What's this really about?"

"Ok ok fine" Peter surrendered

"I wanted to ask if you wanted to go to Delmar's after school today?" He asked awkwardly as we continued to walk to my locker.

"What... like a date?"

"What?! I- uh n-" The look of sheer panic on his face was priceless.

"I'm joking! I'm joking. I'd love to Peter" I said leaning my back against my locker and smiling.

He let out a long breath "Thank god. I didn't mean it like that by the way! I just thought it would be fun to go you know, as friends!"

"I know that's what you ment Peter, don't worry"

"Okay"

"It sounds like a lot of fun thanks for asking me, Peter" I smiled at him.

"No problem!!"

He walked away with a hop in his step. I turned around, unlocked my locker and shoved in my notebook. Actually it's less of a notebook and more of a useless book of paper that will never be used. I already knew all I needed to know and more so what's the point in taking notes? I was excited to go to Delmar's with Peter I wasn't sure why, it was just a store. But I was really excited, so excited I bounced my leg in impatience for the rest of the day. My heart skipped a beat at the thought of going to the store with Peter. What the hell is happening? Why am I so excited about a stupid store?

Holy shit.

I think I have a crush on Peter Parker.

My dads going to kill me.

My 2nd last class of the day was French. I have to take both French and Spanish, something about late admissions. It sucks because I have Spanish before French so I get 2 hours straight of people talking at me in a language I don't understand. I'm glad that I have free period last so I can go out with Peter though I promise my dad I stay at school studying during my free.

After the bell rang I ran so fast out of my French class I almost forgot my bag. The bench where we first met, had unofficially became our meeting spot. I was excited and nervous all at the same time, it was one of the weirdest feelings I'd ever felt but I kind of liked it. I let out a small smirk as I ran down the stairs to met Peter. We both got there at the same time and almost bumped into each other. We both laughed.

"So should we head out?"

"Sounds good Parker"

As we walked I could feel the shift in his energy. Something had happened today that changed him. Or how he saw me at least. I hoped it was in a good way and that he didn't hate me now. I don't know why he would hate me, I didn't do anything wrong. Or at least I don't think I did?

He couldn't hate me, not now. We just became good friends. We're just starting to get close. I've never had a friend like Peter before. I never want to loose him.

I mean talk about timing.

As we talked I realized how much we actually had in common. As we kept talking I realized how much I actually liked him. Just listening to him talk was soothing to me. Just being with him made the whole world fade-away none of my problems mattered, nothing did. Only Peter. It felt like he was the only thing in the world. I feel so sick about lying to him. I couldn't keep this charade up for much longer. The sooner the better. I don't want to hurt him, but, at the same time, if I tell him I could be putting myself and him in danger.

I've never had friends before let alone a best friend. He's so important to me.

Oh god,

Am I falling for Peter Parker?

My dads gonna kill me.
