"Hey! (Y/n)!" Peter called out at me when I walked in the cafeteria. "Hey guys." I said, greeting Peter, Ned, and MJ at our usual lunch table.
"I was wondering if you'd like to come with us into Manhattan tonight?" He asked, and I nodded, "Yeah, why not, right? It's a Friday night and this sounds like a lot of fun" I said, agreeingly.

I ran home the second the ninth period bell went off.
I stumped up my apartment building stairs, and the second I reached my door, I slammed the it shut behind me. "Mom, I need help!" I said, suddenly becoming a panicked 15 year old. "Oh my gosh, sweetie, what's wrong?" Se asked, suddenly concerned. "What? Nothing. Everything great. I need to look cute tonight. Super cute!" I explained to her, no less hysterical than before. "What's going on tonight?" She asked, and I told her that I'm going into the city with Peter, Ned, and MJ. "So cute and casual, but you don't want to look like you're trying too hard?" My mother guessed, and I nodded, "Exactly."

We walked together to my closet and she had me lay out all my favorite tops and pants.

"How about this?" I asked her, carefully laying a skirt, leggings, a sweater, and a purse on my bed.

"I bet it's cute, but you don't usually wear skirts and since it's not an official date, it'd look like you're trying too hard." She filled me in. Well, tell me what you really feel.

"Okay, but how about this outfit?" I asked, laying out a more casual one on my bed.

"Hmm... that one is good, but why don't you wear a brighter color? It'll make him notice you more." My mom said, and I nodded in agreement.

"I have the perfect final outfit!" I stated, showing her what I'd be wearing tonight.

"Perfect! And it looks absolutely lovely on you!" My mother said after I danced around in it.

After a couple more minutes I heard a kick on my apartment door.
I ran to answer it before my mom got a chance to, and I found Peter waiting for me outside. "Goodbye mom, I love you and I'll see you later!" I called before closing the door behind me.

Peter sat in the back with me, and Ned drove with MJ in the passengers seat. "Ned! You got your lincese?"I asked one I got in, and he nodded, "Sweet, right?" He said and I nodded. "Totally."

It took us about 35 minutes to reach Times Square, and the whole car ride was filled with talk about school and friends and how Ned somehow passed his driving test.

He parked the car in a huge lot, and the second we walked outside the parking lot and into Times Square, Peter took my hand with his. I sent him a confused look, but held his hand anyway... it's not like I'm not enjoying it.
"You're small, I don't want to lose you" Peter finally explained. "I'm not small" I stayed, huffing my chest and standing on the tops of my toes. "You're teeny tiny" He said in a baby voice while bending down to my eye level. "Okay, lets go" I said while rolling my eyes and pulling Peter back up to our crowd of people.

After a while of walking, we all got hungry and decided to go into a diner. There was like five people there, so we sat ourselves down at an empty booth. I sat next to Peter on one side, and Ned and MJ sat next to each other on the other side.
It wasn't until our food came and I found out that I can't eat left-handed that I realized Peter and I are still holding hands. Hmm... that's suspicious. We're no longer in a big crowd.
I slowly let go of it therefore I can eat my food, but the second I finished, he reached out again, and I gladly accepted it.

We hit the streets again, every now and then stopping in a store or kiosk, and whenever we stopped, whether there was two people in the room or twenty, Peter would hold my hand.

"What's going on with Peter and (y/n)?" I heard MJ ask Ned when we got slightly separated. "I'm not sure, why?" Ned responded with and MJ shrugged, "I think they'd be cute together."

Cute together? Us? We're friends. Best friends. Sure, I've always thought about being with him, but I'm sure he hasn't.

Peter heard too. I'm sure of it because he cocked his head to the side to listen, and then he tried to make eye contact with me, but I pretended to look at the gadgets and gizmos in the small store while still clutching onto his hand.

We went back out onto the street to find a food stand, and just when we did so, MJ spoke up, but I already knew what she'd say. "Peter, you're still holding (y/n)s hand".
Peter nodded. "She's small, she could get lost." He bluntly stated, and MJ gave Ned a look.
"What?" Peter said, his voice in a high pitched tone. "This is a pretty empty street. It's late and we're no where near Times Square anymore." Ned said sighing. "Are you guys dating or something?" MJ asked, making direct contact with Peter.
"What, no!" He said loudly, but then he corrected himself to sound more believable. "I mean-" he took a deep breath, "she's lovely girl and everything, but no, we're just friends. Best friends." he said, almost sound sad, but he quickly covered it up by coughing.
"He couldn't get her even if he tried" MJ whispered to Ned, but it was just loud enough for me and Peter to hear also.
As soon as they looked back at us, I decided it was my time to act. Okay, you can do this, (y/n), just go for it.

I pulled Peter down by his shoulder and jumped to reach my lips to his, and then we were kissing.
The busy New York City streets of Manhattan Island was silenced by the sound of my lips slamming into his. After a moment of shock, he kissing me back, leaning more into the kiss. I curved my body into his and wrapped my arms around his neck while he placed his hands on my waist.

Ned faked a cough, snapping us back into reality and out of our kiss.

We pulled apart smiling like idiots. "I knew there was something going on" MJ said while happily looking at us.
