You hadn't been able to sleep. There were plenty reasons as to why. One being, you had a test later today, two you found out your ex(?) was the Queens hero Spider-Man, three the same day you found out he was the vigilante hero was also the same day he had kissed you.
After the very unexpected kiss, he all but too awkwardly left you with your thoughts, the clogs in your brain trying to work but to no avail. You didn't say anything either, and neither did you try to push him away.
It made your head hurt, trying to understand why Peter kissed you in the first place. Maybe it had something to do with your confession, or he realized Michelle wasn't the right choice after all.
You had only hoped it wasn't the second option. If it was any other person you'd be beaming, but Michelle was a harmless person who only saw the best in people. You really didn't feel good about kissing someone you know she had feelings for.
The problem now was, how were you going to face her and Peter? Especially Peter.
It's only been a few hours since the kiss, it now being almost the crack of dawn since then, and you couldn't sleep, no matter what.
You tried to find alternatives, loopholes and whatever else you could possibly think of to avoid Peter at all cost. It was hopeless considering you had a few classes with him, and a lunch period as well. You could fake sick, but your mom works an AM shift to PM shift today, so she wouldn't be home when you had to get up and ready for school.
Another misfortunate was, should you talk to him. Obviously that was your first thought, but given how awkward the kiss was to begin with and how he left without saying a word, you knew the solution would just be as worst.
You sadly had no friends to talk to, other than Betty, but she wouldn't be much help with how happy go she was all the time. It was just you and your thoughts to keep you company.

Finally, you got the sleep you deserved.
Okay, so maybe that was a complete lie, unless you count the hour of sleep you managed to sneak in.
You were all zombie like waking up, getting ready, and on your way to school, your mind surprisingly Peter free as you arrived at your locker.
"Hey Y/N." A voice greets you from behind, you turn around, your heart almost dropping to your chest.
"Oh-, hey uh, hey Michelle." You give her a small smile, the tiredness probably evident on your face.
You tried to not look surprised, or let your fear show because you had known the brown haired girl to be quite the observant person. You hope she didn't notice how nervous you were.
