Taking a chance || Spideychelle

Chapter 3

I laid on the floor of our small living area staring up at the ceiling. Waiting for Ned to say something after I finished explain the sticky situation I got myself into. He seems to mumble something under his breath that I couldn't quite hear.

I roll head to the side and look at him. He was staring at me with a wide grin.

"What?"

"This is great!"

"How!?"

I sit up and flip around to face him. His smile never leaves as he shrugs.

"This is a chance for you guys to make up!"

I scoff

"Don't count on it"

His face falls for a spilt second, but I saw. I saw the hurt expression.

"Peter, if you think of it like a burden, it's most likely going to end up feeling like a burden. I'm not saying go in with high expectations.

"MJ...hot?" The idea never crossed my mind and it baffled me

It's not that I thought she was ugly, but I never really thought of her as a girl...that's sounds sort of mean.

"Yea, I guess. I think she's attractive, but I think she's more annoyingly sarcastic sister type to me, but her sister might be different"

My mind was reeling

"Um uh-" I was speechless and surprised by Ned's words, "maybe"

I wasn't sure what I was saying "maybe" to, but I had to say something. I couldn't let my mind linger on if MJ was hot or if her sister was hot (though it hid in the back of mind). Nonetheless Ned nodded as if I answered him properly.

"Might come back with your first girlfriend!" Ned shouts and jumps up.

He grips my shoulders with a wild look in his eyes. He looked more excited than I felt about the idea. Then with impeccable time, I get a call from none other than
