hope you will enjoy :3

_ I need to go, I've something important to do. But don't worry I'll be back soon! I promise I'll be back before the end of the party and spend the time with you if you're still okay. They nodded and I left them. but before that I kissed their cheek and they smiled slightly to me. I ran to the door and I saw Y/N joined their friend. I really hoped that I would be able to keep my promise.

Y/N's POV

I waited for Peter for an eternity and he never came back to the party. I thought that he would after all he promised me but he didn't keep his words. I felt humiliated, I waited for him and I refused all the invitations to dance from other boys for a guy who never came back. My friends tried to cheer me up but I wasn't in mood for the party after that. I've to admit that a little part of me still hoped that he would show up but Flash crushed it. I was sitting in a chair looking at the others having fun when Flash invited me to dance. I politely declined just like I did with the others:

_ You're really refusing to dance because you're waiting for loser who obviously left the party and won't come back.

_ He promised me that he will be back before the end of the party I've no reason to not believe him.

_ When did he say that? Something like 3 hours ago, don't you think that he would already be back if he really wanted. He just invented an excuse to leave the party because he had enough to be here and he did a lame promise because he didn't want to hurt you. face the truth Y/N he just let you down. So wanna dance and have a little fun to forget this loser? I remained silent for a while thinking about what Flash just said and realizing that he was probably right.

_ right let's dance. I replied smiling slightly at Flash.

The next day I waited for a call from Peter or just a message but it never happened. First he abandoned me and second he didn't even apologize. Really he is a real jerk! I also worried for him maybe something bad happened to him when he left the party. I was a little scared so when I saw him the Monday at school and realized that he was okay, joking with Ned, I wished my death glare could have kill him. when he spotted me, he made in way to my locker. I looked at him as coldly as I could.

_ I'm so sorry Y/N. he began visibly embarrassed. I know I messed up because you waited for me and I never came back. I did my best to be back quickly, I really wanted to be back but it took...

_ You know you don't have to find lame excuses. If you wanted to left the party because you were bored or because you don't like party you should have told me and not lied to me. I would not have waited for you like an idiot!

_ Y/N I wanted to come back to that party I had fun and I'm sorry if you waited for nothing. I am truly sorry I swear.

_ Peter. You cut him off. You should stop swearing because I don't believe you. Now I've to go to French class or I'll be late. Have a good day. I retorted sharply.

It hurt me to see his sad look but I'm the one who should be sad, he treated me like a nothing, does he really think that I would act like nothing happened. The following days I tried my best to ignore him and that was pretty much difficult. A part of me hated him because of what he did but another part of me still cared about him. Peter was a nice guy, he wasn't the type of boy who played with the other so I guessed that he wasn't lying when he said that he did his best to be back quickly. Maybe I shouldn't have reacted like that. I've been so bitchy with him and I felt bad, Peter didn't deserve that even if I waited for him for hours. I couldn't help myself but stare at him during the few classes I had with him. I noticed that he seemed more and more exhausted, he almost slept in class, he had also a concerned look on his face. Plus I heard him talk to Ned and said that he wanted to skip class. I was astonished, Peter was a straight A student who usually was active in class so something bad must have happened if he wanted to skip class. That was certainly why he left the party and never came back. Oh god I felt terrible, something bad must have happened and I just acted like a basic bitch with him. I needed to fix it as soon as possible. I needed a plan to talk to him, to have an extended conversation. When I saw him left his chemistry class I ran to catch him up.

_ Hey Peter. I said smiling nicely.

_ Hey Y/N. he answered with a nice tone. I want you to know that I'm still sorry for last time. He looked at the ground.

_ No need Peter I'm the sorry one, I overreacted. But I'm not there for you. I need your help if you're okay with that.

_ Yeah obviously, what can I do for you. he looked at you truly happy and your heart melted. He was so cute.

_ I don't really understand my algebra so I was wondering if you could tutor me since you're the best of the high school.

_ Yeah that would be a pleasure to help you.

That is how you end with him working on algebra at the library. Working is maybe a little bit exaggerated. I didn't have any problems in algebra so I was more staring at him, detailing him. I was lost in his gorgeous eyes when I heard him called my name. I realized that he was asking me to answer to a problem. I looked at my algebra book and instantly solved the problem. He had a surprised look on his face and frowned a bit:

_ You don't really need help in algebra, am I wrong?

_ No I'm okay with algebra. You chuckled. I just wanted an excuse to talk to you. he frowned even more. I'm worried for you Peter. I mean you seemed really tired these past days, you don't pay attention in class which is surprising and I heard you said to Ned that you wanted to skip class. So I was wondering if something happened. If you don't want to talk about it with me I would understand but you know I am just worried for you. the more you were talking the wider his eyes grew.

_ Thank you Y/N, you're the first one at school who cared about me enough to ask me if I'm okay. Yeah Ned asked me too but he spends some much time at my home that he is almost my roommate so that doesn't really count. He joked but soon his smile faded. Actually I've been fired from the Stark's internship.

_ What?! You couldn't believe it.

_ I've been fired from the Stark's internship. He repeated even sadder.

_ But that's insane! You exclaimed earning few death glares from students who were currently working. I mean you're the smartest guy I've ever met, probably the smartest kid in all New York, they can't do that it's a total non-sense. You whispered-yelled. Plus you're a jerk with people just like Tony Stark so he can't fire someone like him. you joked and he laughed.

_ I'm not that smart Y/N. You realized that he was truly crushed when he pronounced those words with an heartbroken tone. I've messed up once more. I tried to do something to impress Tony but that didn't happen as I planned. And he had to save the day. As I messed up completely he fires me because I don't deserve to work for him if I do some stupid stuff to impress him and don't think of the consequences. A tear escaped his eye and he brushed it away, when you saw that your heart clenched.

_ But that is stupid, you're a young not very wealthy genius surrounded by a billionaire genius in his forties and his army of geniuses, of course you wanted to impress them and prove yourself. Everybody would have act like you. and maybe what you did didn't succeed but you tried your best and that is all that matters. Moreover you could have succeeded you needed to try to know that. I am convinced that sooner or later they will regret you because they need you in their team more than they could imagine. You're a kind-hearted smart guy and they're a bunch of genius disconnected with the real life, they will regret and call you back, I'm sure of it!

When those words left my mouth, I noticed that Peter had the most adorable smile I've ever seen. I swear at that moment I would have kiss him....
