It was a week away from homecoming and no one had asked you yet. Well, some boys did, you just said no. Why? Because you liked them as friends, nothing more but also because you liked someone else. Your best friend: Peter Benjamin Parker.

Oh god, how you adored him. First, you never saw him in that way when you both met in kindergarten. Obviously you were young. In Elementary school, you still felt like he was just a friend. In Middle School, you started to feel weird around him but ignored it and now in High School, you finally gave up and admitted it to yourself that you had a crush on your childhood best friend.

So, why didn't you ask him to homecoming? I mean, he isn't going with anyone yet. Well, that's a problem. First, you didn't want to ruin the friendship by making a move on him. Second, he liked Liz Allan. Of course he did. She's pretty, smart and kind. Basically everything you're not. At least that's what you thought in your head. It wasn't 'soul crushing' to hear that Peter liked Liz but it did shatter your heart a little.

You thought about it in your Science class. Peter was always sitting next to you and was your partner for everything. You didn't focus on the lesson because you didn't care. Meanwhile smarty-pants Peter was making notes in his notebook.

The bell rings and you snap out of your train of thoughts. You pack your bag and head to your locker that was located next to Peter's. You guys begged the principal since the beginning of the semester and it finally happened. You put your books in and some other useless stuff and Peter does the same. You both close your locker afterwards and head over to the cafeteria.

"What do you think they'll feed us this time?" Peter asks you while making a disgusting fave you find adorable. "Probably diarrhea" You chuckle and Peter does too. "But I brought my own snacks. I'll give you some." You say smirking while holding up a bag of Doritos. "You always give me some when you have snacks with you." "Yes. Because I'm nice." You state and he laughs. "You give EVERYONE." He rolls his eyes jokingly making you scoff. "I'm just very generous." You say and make your way over to the table where Ned was sitting and eating his sandwich. You grab out your bag of chips and immediately your table gets crowded.

"Hey Y/N! Can I have some?" Flash asks nicely and you hand him some. Flash was always nice to you. Probably because you give him food. "Hey Y/N! Over here!" "Y/N! Can I have some?" "NICE DORITOS. CAN I?!"
Y/N this, Y/N that. You gave half of your chips away but it was a party bag so it was okay. You were pretty popular. You always got invited to parties and you were known as the 'girl with snacks'. Everyone thought you were cool. Even though Flash still bullies Peter sometimes when you're not around.

You leave the chip bag on the table for Peter and Ned to grab. "So, uhm, Y/N?" Peter asks you and you nod an 'Mhm?'. "How do I ask Liz to homecoming? I mean, you're kind of popular so, maybe, y'know.... maybe you know what she likes?" He asked shyly and blushing making you feel defeated. "Uhm, just ask her? I'm not good with relationships. You know that Peter." You sigh remembering your boyfriend was gay. (Trisha Paytas who?) "Yeah yeah. Just wondering."

The bell rings again and you head to your next class. You took a seat next to Flash in your Maths since Peter wasn't in this class with you. "So Y/N... Why'd you hangout with Parker?" He asks you. Rude... "Because he's my best friend?" You say as if it's obvious. Flash and his friends look at you. "Why'd you ask?" You say confused. "Because I wanted to ask you to homecoming, but I don't know if Peter would like that. Considering he's, almost like, your boyfriend." He says and you tense at his comment but ignore it. "Peter is just a friend. Plus, he's asking someone else to homecoming" You say a bit sad.

"You obviously like Peter" He said stating it as a fact. You just fiddle with your fingers. "Don't worry. Your secret is safe with me" He smirks and you didn't trust him. "I don't like him. So shut the fuck up with this nonsense!" You say annoyed and he scoffs. "Wow. Language! Trust me I won't do anything!" He says backing a bit off and having some honesty in his voice making you calm down a little. Flash always thought you were cool so you doubt that he would do anything.

"Who are you going with?" You ask him, changing the subject and he smiles. "I wanted to ask you but you like Peter so I might ask Liz." He says smiling a little and you look down. Realizing what he said. "Liz Allan?" You say confused and he nods. "She's cool." You say while scribbling in your notebook. "If you help me. I'll help you." He says randomly. "Help me with what?" You say now even more confused than before. "You help me with Liz, I'll help you with Peter." He says and you hesitate. Peter wanted to ask Liz and if you helped Flash, he would be so mad at you and sad but Flash could help you with Peter. "Like I said, Peter is asking someone else." You say avoiding the question. "Come oonnn! It'll be fuunn!" He says chuckling. You hesitate but eventually give in.

"Fine. but I want you to help me with Peter first, then I'll help you with Liz." You say and he shakes your hand. "Deal, but no tricks" He says serious. "No tricks, yeah yeah" You promised. You see a figure in the corner of your eye and look over to the window towards the hall. You see Peter standing there with sad eyes as he catched your gaze. He quickly walks away, leaving you confused.

It was now the end of the day and Peter had been planning this the whole day. How to ask Liz but you had to go to Flash first. You were at your locker with Peter when you suddenly get a text from Flash. You put your phone in your pockets. "I gotta go" You say. "Where?" Peter asks confused and you reply with: "Uhh, Flash and I have a, uhm, studying to do. For Math" You say and walked away as fast as you could.

Peter looked sad to the floor as he knew you were lying. You got to Flash quick and he smiled. "Waddup L/N! How's it going with Peter?" He says and you shrug. "He's about to ask Liz to prom" You blurt out and then widen your eyes about what you've just said. "Wait. Peter is asking Liz?" He says now getting pissed. You nod. "He's not taking away my second choice either" He said making you suprised. "He's supposed to be your boyfriend" He says and walks away towards Liz but Peter got there first.

You mentally facepalm to see the witness of a new love story. "There goes my heart" You said and see Ned at his locker not to far away from the action that's gonna happen. You walk over to Ned and look at Peter. "H-hi Liz. Do you wanna, uhm... maybe go to homecoming with me?" He stutters. His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy, there's vomit on his sweater already, MOM's spaghetti. He's nervous. ;)

Liz looks at him, hesitating. People are forming looking at both of them and Flash walks up. "Hey. Why're you asking my girl to homecoming? Liz. Wanna go to homecoming with me?" He says making Peter even more nervous and heartbroken. Liz nods and endulges him in a hug. They both leave, leaving Peter alone. Flash walks by you with Liz but stops where you're standing and says: "Now's your chance."

You grab all the courage you have and walk up to him. People are still staring at a heartbroken Peter, including Flash. "P-Peter? Will you go to homecoming with me?" You stutter and say it. Flash cheers you on. "Y-Yeah. Yeah, sure" He says while his eyes lit up. "O-Okay. Pick me up at 7?" You say and he nods. "Y-Yeah, Yeah..." He says relieved and now smiling from ear to ear. Flash left and people were minding their own business. You smile at Peter while you were now blushing madly. He walks with you towards the exit as he intertwines your hands. Ned looks at both of you in shock.

You text Flash really quick saying 'thanks' and he replied with a 'no problem'. Peter is smiling to himself and can't believe what was happening. Ned catches up with you both. "You know you guys make a cute couple" He says and waves goodbye quick. Leaving you both red as tomatoes. "See you tomorrow!!" Ned says from a distance. Peter and you look at eachother. "This where we part ways" You say a bit starstruck.

"See you later alligator" You chuckle. "In a while crocodile" He replies being flustered. You kiss his cheek and walked the other way. Making Peter even more flustered. He walked towards the subway with his smile never leaving his face.
