Peter Parker- I'm with you, no matter what

Chapter 1

Monday, first lesson, chemistry. As always, I sat in my seat in the second row of the chemistry room. My hand supported my head and I watched the other students from my chemistry class. The door of the room opened, it was already 8:25 am, it was MJ. My friend sat down next to me and ignored how punishing the teacher, Mr. Miller, looked after her.

"Hi, what did I miss?"

"Actually nothing."

Behind MJ sat Liz Allen, who she tapped at that moment. MJ turned around and I heard them talking about something about the academic decathlon team and the tournament they would be going to Washington DC for in a month and a half. MJ had asked me many times if I didn't want to be part of the team, but until now I had never really answered her.
Since I was busy listening to Liz and MJ, I didn't realize that Mr. Miller called me again.

"Miss Adams! Lyra Adams! ”He kept repeating.

I didn't look up until Peter Parker, who was sitting diagonally in front of me, turned and spoke to me. I looked at Mr. Miller and since his mood had sunk by the lesson, he put me and anyone who seemed inattentive at that moment into detention.
So this was about me, MJ, Liz, Peter and his best friend, Ned Leeds. Finally the bell ended the lesson, everyone dispersed in different directions and ran to the next course.
MJ and I walked down the hall, not much had happened today, so there wasn't much to talk about. Also good, that way I had time for my own thoughts. It occurred to me that Peter Parker had never spoken to me and I had never spoken to him. I don't really know why not, it just never happened. We'd had a couple of courses together for a long time, chemistry, math, sports and English.

"Lyra!", MJ tore me from my thoughts.

I realized I was just about to walk past our history room. She held the door open for me and I hurried into the classroom.

During the lunch break we sat at a table in the back corner of the cafeteria. Suddenly Peter and Ned were behind us.

"Is there still room for two nerds like us?", Ned asked.

MJ just nodded slightly and shoved the last bite of her sandwich into her mouth. The boys sat across from us, but kept turning and staring at the other end of the cafeteria. We immediately noticed that they were looking at Liz.

"Do you like her too?" MJ accused them and grinned.

Liz Allen Aka the most popular and prettiest girl in school and as if that weren't enough, she's also president of the academic decathlon team. This team included MJ, Peter and Flash Thompson, one of the most popular but also most hideous guys in the school. Most of the time, he has nothing better to do than pick on and insult others.
In his eyes Ned, MJ, Peter and I were among the "losers".
