"There's something I have to tell you.....I haven't been completely honest with you either."
Y/N, Peter, Ned, and MJ have been best friends since they were 12. But Y/N has been keeping a secret the whole time. When Peter and Y/N finally admit their...
"Hey, what time are you guys coming over tonight? It's at my house this week right?" I ask. MJ, Ned, Peter and I have been doing a movie night every Friday since we were 12 and we always rotate who's hosting.
Ned responds "yea it is, I should be there at about 4:00"
"Ok, I know MJ is coming on the bus with me" I say pointing at her. "What about you Pete?"
"Umm.....sorry g-guys I....well I..." he says, stuttering, fidgeting with his blue sweater.
"Well spit it out already!" snaps MJ.
"I can't come this week" Peter says quickly.
"But we're watching Terminator" says Ned.
"Yea, remember? It's time travel movie month" I say disappointed.
"I know but Mr.Stark-"
"We know Peter, it's just lately it's been Mr.Stark this, and Mr.Stark that, can't you ask for the night off" I say even though I know what he's actually doing as the internship.
"Yea, I'll try" says Peter
"Ok, thank you" I say giving him a grateful smile.
We walked up the steps to school as we heard someone yell "Sup pen*s Parker!"
"Why don't you shut up Flash! I mean what kind of a name is that? You were named after one of the most cliche superheroes." I retort
(Sorry DC fans, but for the sake of the story)
Flash scoffs and drives away. "He's a jerk" says Ned, putting a hand on Peter's shoulder.
"Yea they should really expell him" I say.

In spanish class Peter raises his pen to answer the question. "Me gusta hacer la tarea"
"Do you?" I whisper to him next to me.
"What!? No, of course not!" He whispers back laughing a little.
Its good to hear him laugh, it's contagious, it makes me laugh too which is exacly what I need right now. My parents are not going to be home tonight so it's just going to be me, MJ and Ned. It's not unusual that they're not home when movie night is at our house but I understand, sometimes work keeps them longer than they want

At the academic decathalon practice Liz starts reading cards " Ok Y/N, There are 10 male students and 15 female students in a class. How many ways are there to select a group of 7 students of which 2 are males and 5 are females?"
I pause for a minute then ring the bell and say "135,135"
"That is correct" says Liz.
Suddenly Cindy, a girl on the team says "wait, what's happening?"
"Peter's not going to D.C." says Sally.
"No, no, no, no, no" responds Cindy.
Abe rings the bell and asks " why Peter?"
Liz looks disappointed and says "Really? Right before nationals?"
MJ is in the corner reading a book and says "He already quit marching band"
"And robotics lab" I add
Everyone looks at us but I say "We're his best friends, we know that stuff"
Liz sighs "Flash, your in for Peter"
"Ooh, I don't know. I gotta check my calander first, I got a hot date with Black Widow coming up." Flash says sarcastically
I just scoff at that
Abe rings the bell again and says " That is false"
" What did I tell you about using the bell for comedic reasons?" Says Mr.Harrington
Finally the bell rings for us to go home " Hey wanna get sandwiches at Delmar's?" Asks Peter as we exit the room.
" Yea sure MJ has a key she can let herself in" I say.
°°°°°
"what's up Mr.Delmar?" I say as we walk through the door of the sandwich place.
"Hey kids, number 5s, right?" He says.
Peter puts a plastic bag on the counter and says "Yeah, um, and, uh, with pickles, and can you smush it down real flat? Thanks"
I laugh a bit at the gesture he did and said to Mr.Delmar " no pickles mine"

"Hey Peter, hows your aunt?" Mr.Delmar asks with a smile
He turns to one of the staff members in the back and says "La tia de el es un italiana muy bellisima" ( his aunt is a very hot Italian woman)
Peter retorts the comment with "¿ como esta tu hija, eh?" ( how's your daughter, huh?)
I elbow Peter in the arm and start laughing, it must have been the boldest thing he ever said.
"15 dollars" says Mr.Delmar.
"It's 10 dollars, 5 for mine and 5 for Y/N's" Peter says.
"For that comment, 10 dollars for yours" Mr.Delmar fights back.
"Hey, come on, I'm joking, I'm joking, right Y/n/n (your nickname)?"
Peter pulls some money out of his wallet and puts it on the counter "here's 10 dollars"
He turns around to see me petting the fat cat on the counter "what's up Murph? How you doing bud?"
Peter returns to get the food when Mr.Delmar starts a conversation "So, how's school kids?"
"Ah, you know it's good, got better things to do" says Peter.
"Ok, I guess" I say tucking my h/c hair behind my ear.
"Stay in school kids, stay in school. Otherwise your gonna end up like me." Says Mr.Delmar gesturing to the sandwich place.
"This is great" Peter replies
"Best sandwiches in Queens" I say before we leave.
°°°°
"Thanks for the sandwich Pete." I say as we stop in front of my apartment.
"It's nothing, I'm sorry I can't make it to movie night" he says with an apologetic expression.
"Yea, it's ok, we all just hope you can be here next time, but that's life I guess, just remember it's at your house next week" I say
"Oh! Yea, of course!" He says palming his forehead "yea definitely at my house next week"
"Ok, I'll see you later Pete, the others are waiting for me"
"Yea, ok bye" he says as he runs off in the other direction
Author's note: Wow! That was a long one, about 967 words so idk if its a long one or if its just a regular size chapter. All I know is that its 2:30 in the morning rn and that I'm tired.
I'm trying to get these chapters done as quick as possible for the people who have found this book and are reading it, but it might take a few days.
SHOUT OUT TO MY FIRST COMMENTER Wallflower_thefuture THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING!
