"You're insane" Thomas rolls his eyes as he laughs at Lena's plans

She looked like a child in a candy store and was told her budget was unlimited. Most of her ideas were....um dangerous. And would probably hurt someone.

I glance behind me at MJ who was grinning happily as she watched the two argue. I take a few steps back and lean against the wall next to her.

"I am not! Im brainstorming" Lena defended

I lean over to MJ. I could feel her body heat radiating. The strange empty warmth fills my stomach again. I could see her side eyeing me.

"Is this normal?" I whisper in her ear

I hear her suck in a deep breath. Damn. I'm annoying her again. Then MJ lets out a snort.

"Happens every year. Most of our team's time is spent "planning" which is why we have never come close to winning" MJ whispers to me laughing a little.

"Do you think we have chance this year?" I whisper

MJ turns and smiles at me. I smile back. It made me happy. Maybe I wasn't annoying her.

"Not a chance"

"Peter Parker"

I feel Lena stiffen next to me as her mother approaches us. In all honesty, I felt just as uncomfortable. She flashes us a confident smile.

"Lena dear, do you mind leaving us for moment?"

I see Lena's jaw tighten.

"I prefer to stay here. He is my boyfriend."

"So you say"

I felt my heart sink at her words. Did she know? No, MJ told me they were paranoid.

"And what is that suppose to mean?" Lena retorts

I could feel this situation escalating.

"Well you left him alone yesterday. As always off chatting with Michelle and Thomas, but without him. Strange."

Lena face falls and she glances at me. Her mother nodded as it seemed Lena confirmed something to her then she turns to me.

"You saw right? I must have hurt. Whether you're a boyfriend or just a friend, that must have been painful to see that they only mean to use you-"

"Peter, it wasn't like that" Lena reaches and grabs my gently

Her faces looked pained and embarrassed. While her mother's continued to analyze us. I didn't really know what to do. It felt like the whole room was closing in on us. I could feel panic rising in chest.

I take a deep breath

"I did see them-"

I hear Lena suck in a deep breath and her mother nodded knowingly.
