PART ONE
Bye Bye, Uncle Ben

" y/n's point of view "

——————————————————————

AFTER HEARING ABOUT the incident with Peter and Flash on the basketball court, I found Peter in the hallway talking with an older man.

"She looks familiar." The man spoke after seeing me and I looked down at the ground when Peter turned around.

They said a few things quietly to each other before his uncle said to me, "He's got you on his computer. I'm his probation officer."

What the hell?

The man said something else to Peter before he started walking away.

"Okay." Peter started chuckling before he turned to face me. "He's a character. That's my uncle."

"Not your probation officer?" I asked.

"No, uh, he's a pathological liar. He thought you were someone else."

"Oh, so you don't have me on your computer?" I frowned and let out a large sigh. Jokingly of course.

Not that I would mind if he did have me on his computer.

"Well, yeah, I took a photo of, um... You know, just school stuff and you were there."

"Oh, right. Yeah."

"He must've seen- I was touching up stuff."

"Touching up stuff?" I repeated with a smile.

"Come on." He chuckled. "I was... I was... I'm not gonna answer that."

"Suspicious." I said before pausing. "Did you get expelled?"

"No, no. I didn't get expelled. I got community service." He told me and I nodded.

I looked around to find we were standing alone in the empty hallway.

"Um, so, uh, you want to- Uh, I don't know...? Um..." He stammered over his words and I was facing him again.

"Do I want to what?" I asked.

"I don't know. Just, uh..." He looked down and his face fell before he shrugged. "Um... I don't know- We could... I don't know, we could, uh... Or we could do something else, or we could- If you don't feel like, we could-"

I smiled again, feeling my face start growing a little warm. "Yeah."

"Yeah?"

"Yeah." I wasn't too sure what I was agreeing to, but if it involved Peter and I together I didn't mind. He was cute. "Yeah, either one."

"Really?"

"Of course."

"Okay. Alright, good." Peter nodded. "Sounds good. Okay. I can't right now, I can't right now."

"Yeah. no."

"I'm so busy right now."

"I know, me too."

"But, uh, maybe, uh... Some other..."

"Yeah. Some other time." I agreed before turning around to go to class. "See you around, Peter."

"Alright."

After walking almost halfway down the hallway, I did glance back at Peter, and he was still standing and smiling before he turned around to go down the other hallway.

"GUESS WHAT?" I said to Gwen with a smile that night as we both sat in our shared bedroom.

"You grew a third arm?" She guessed playfully, not looking up from her homework from where she sat at her desk. "Or did you grow two more arms?"

"Ooh, great guesses, but no." I sat up on my bed and lowered my book.

"Damn, I really thought one of those were it." Gwen joked and turned around to look at me, spinning in her chair. "Then what?"

"I'm pretty sure Peter Parker asked me out earlier today." I told her with a smile growing on my face.

"What?" Gwen quickly put her pencil down and math was the last of her worries. "Like, asked you out, asked you out?"

"Well, I think he was trying to, at least." I explained. "There was a lot of 'um's and 'uh's and he kept stuttering. He didn't even really ask me out anywhere."

"Oh, wow. A little underwhelming." Gwen turned back to her homework. "But, you know what? Good for you."

I laughed. "Yeah."

"So, do you like him?" Gwen asked me. "The edgy photographer skater boy who likes to sneak into science labs?"

"I don't know." I admitted. "Maybe a little. He's cute. And he's nice."

"Hmm." Gwen then looked back at me again. "Why aren't you doing your homework? Mr. Miller will be pissed if you don't hand it in."

"Yeah." I sighed, putting down my phone and standing up to find my math notebook from my backpack. "I guess so."

"It's not hard." Gwen told me.

"I know. I just can't be bothered." I sighed and sat down at my own desk, picking up a pen and opening my textbook.

THE NEXT DAY at school wasn't as happy.

The night before, Peter's Uncle Ben had been shot and killed.

I had been walking with Gwen when we turned down a hallway and Peter was pushing Flash against a locker, when usually it was the other way around.

Then Peter let go of Flash, picked up his stuff, closed his locker and started walking away, right towards Gwen and I.

"Peter." I said his name and he stopped in front of us.

I took one look at him and immediately stepped forward to hug him.

I let my arms link around his neck and held him tightly.

When I let go of him, he just walked away without a word.

Gwen and I watched him go and she leaned closer to me.

"He just needs space. Don't take it personally."

"I know." I glanced back as he turned the corner. "I know."
