He's my Boyfriend, Peter Parker

CHAPTER 19

 I sit down outside the stage where we have to wait, people gave me weird looks as they walk past, I guess its because they never thought I’d go for the main role. But that doesn’t stop me.

“Gwen you’re up.” Says Ms Smith peaking her head out of the door

I stand up holding my lyrics and walk in on the stage standing in the middle in front of two judges

“Welcome Gwen, are you ready to shine!?” Says Hanson in a thrilled voice

“Yes I am.” I reply confidently

“What song are you going to sing today for us?” asked Ms Smith

“I’m going to sing Pretty Hurts by Beyoncé.” I say

“Good choice in song, you may start.” Says Ms Hanson

This is you’re time Gwen

I close my eyes as the instrumental starts playing, I let the soft music take over my head

♫….Just another stage, pageant the pain away
This time I'm gonna take the crown
Without falling down, down, down

Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worst
Perfection is a disease of a nation, pretty hurts, pretty hurts
Pretty hurts, we shine the light on whatever's worst
We try to fix something but you can't fix what you can't see
It's the soul that needs the surgery…♫

 

I open my eyes, Ms Smith and Hanson looked surprised and started clapping.

I smile widely and walk off stage

“We will let you know the results later this week.” Ms Hanson says

I nod quickly and walk out of the assembly area.

“I didn’t know you would audition for the main role.”

I look beside me and see Peter walking next to me with his hands in his jacket pocket with one earphone in his ear; he looks at me and smiles.

He did his hair today, he looks more hot than cute today.

“Nice hair.” I say trying to sound ignorant

“Why have you been ignoring me?” I asks changing the subject

“Did you use gel or wax?” I say trying to avoid the question

“Hairspray and wax. Answer my question Gwen.” He says stopping me by stepping in front of me

I stop

“Who said I was ignoring you?” I say as I continue walking

“No one, I can feel it.” He says pulling the headphone out of his ear

“Maybe you should ask you’re girlfriends Melissa! “ I say quickly.

I shouldn’t of said that.

“WHAT? Girlfriend? Melissa?.” He says shocked and in disbelief

“Who the hell told you I’m going out with Melissa?! I’m NOT with her. Never!.” He says standing in front of me.

I look at him shaking my head, he stretches his arms out blocking me from walking on.

“Listen to me, I would never date Melissa.” He says looking deep in my eyes

How could I not believe him?

I look back into his eyes, he leans in and gives me a quick kiss on my lips and walks away. Peter turns around and smirks nodding his head slightly, He knows I like it.

-GWENS BATHROOM-

I squirt toothpaste onto my toothbrush and jab it into my mouth and start brushing my teeth, I look at the mirror

God I look horrible

I’ve been trying study Spiderman and stalk him for eight hours straight. Looking through every newspaper and news report and peoples Conspiracy, only stopping for food and toilet breaks. My dad thinks I’m insane for “studying” for that long.

I eyes grow heavy as I keep brushing my teeth, my head drops a bit letting the tooth brush jab into my throat..

*BUZZ BUZZ*

It’s a text, from Peter

Peter: Wanna meet up?

My body rapidly turns awake, I leave the toothbrush in my mouth a reply back

Me: Sure!

Maybe I haven’t thought through carefully. My parents aren’t allowed me to go out when its late at night.

Me: It’s a bit too late to meet up…

Peter: I will come then

Me: Wouldn’t it be strange if someone comes to your house at midnight?

Peter: For me its not. I’ll be here in 5 minutes

Me: No, Peter…my parents!

Peter doesn’t reply after that, I’m so screwed

I walk back into my room after I’ve done my makeup, I even put on makeup for Peter when its nearly the middle of the night.  Its 12 o’clock now

*knock Knock*

It’s Peter!

I spring out of my chair, Peter lifts my window up.

“Heyyyyy Gwennn.” He says while climbing into my room

“Hiiiiiiii Peterrrrr.” I reply back laughing

Peter hops onto my bed and lays there, the turns he head to me and gestures me to come in too. I step back a bit, I want to hop in as well but I’m worried that my parents might burst in any second. Peter gets off my bed and grabs my arms and drags me in next to him.

“The reason I came here, is because I need to tell you something…”
