After classes ended, I waited outside the school until Maria left. After ten minutes, I noticed her. She was one of the last to leave, all alone.

"Hi, is our meeting still on?" I said hello. I started walking in the same direction as her.

"Hey! If you want, then yes."

"Of course I do," I smiled at the thought that she still wanted to spend time with me.

"So what do you want to do?" she asked

"Why don't we just take a walk and talk?"

"I like it," she agreed

"You're Maria, right?" I asked, realizing that I'm still not sure about her name.

"Yes, but call me MJ."

"How do you know me?" she asked, surprised.

"We went camping together at the beginning of the year."

"Really? I don't remember you there."

"I'm Y/n Parker, I'm the school photographer, but you might not remember me from the camping trip since I came back from there a bit early."

"You don't have to introduce yourself, I think everyone at this school knows you by now," she smiled.

"So it was you that the ambulance came for that night, and there was one free seat on the coach on the way back because you weren't there."

"Yes, that's me, but I thought no one noticed my absence."

"I noticed," she smiled.

"Why do you want to be called MJ?" I asked out of curiosity where did that nickname come from.

"My middle name is Jane, after my English grandmother, so it's J. She and my dad came up with that nickname for me."

"So you're English?" I asked. "I'm not from here either." I added.

"Partially, dad was from England and mom is from Poland."

"Was?" I asked, surprised by the difference in tenses in the statement.

"Yes, he died a few years ago," she responded looking down. As if a sad memory flashed before her eyes.

"I'm sorry."

"Thanks. If you're not from here, where did you live before?"

"In New York, Queens to be exact."

"Huh, you lived in the largest city in the States and now you've ended up in this shithole?" she asked, surprised.

My spider sense activated and I noticed a car speeding towards us not far away.

"Watch out!" I shouted. I grabbed MJ's hand and pulled her towards me, protecting her from the fast approaching car.

"Who do I see Penis Parker with Maria Watson on a date. I see you liked your bodyguard," shouted through the window of this car none other than Flash.

"I'm not her bodyguard! You better tell that driver of yours to learn how to drive!"I shouted at him.

He stuck his hand out the window and gave us the middle finger. He drove away with a screech of tires.

He's already out of the hospital, so I didn't hurt him too badly. It's a pity he didn't break any ribs. No Y/n you can't think like that. No one deserves something like that. But after what he did to me all these years. Stop it!

"Is everything okay?" I asked Mj, stopping my mental argument.

"Yes, everything is fine. You saved me for the second time today," she smiled.
