Homecoming

Peter's POV

"Peter! Kate's here!" May calls the night of Homecoming.

I walk out, and stop in my tracks when I see her. Wow. She looks... beautiful is not even the right word.

"Hi, Peter." Kate says. "How do I look?" I don't answer. I just want to stare at her forever. "Peter, is it bad?" She asks, worry crossing her face.

"No, no, no!" I say. "You look amazing. Gorgeous."

She smiles. "Thank you. You look gorgeous, too. I mean, amazing. I mean..." she looks down. "You look great. Liz will love it."

My stomach drops when she mentions Liz. Suddenly, I didn't care about Liz anymore. It was official.I'm in love with Kathryn Virginia Stark. How could I not have seen it before? She's perfect! She's perfect for me! I want to facepalm. I need to tell someone. I whip out my phone and text Ned.

Peter: Ned!! I need your help! 911!!!!

Ned: What's wrong?

Peter: Okay, this might be crazy, but I think I'm in love with Kate!

Ned: Duh, Peter

Peter: What do you mean, duh?

Peter: When did that happen?!

Ned: In your room, while we were tracking the bad guys.

Peter: What do I do?!?! I'm going with Liz, and she's going with Flash!

Ned: Just tell her how you feel, dude.

Peter: I can't. What if she doesn't feel the same?

Ned doesn't respond. I groan. "Peter! Time to go!" May calls. I get in the car with Kate. We arrive at Liz's house.
