To keep my promise to MJ, I decided to just break things off with Gwen. I had started talking to Ned the day after I apologized to MJ, and Ned accepted my apology pretty quickly. I felt bad for him, since he's just being so nice all the time, and I really wish I never took them for granted.
I was with them the whole day at school, and everytime Gwen starts making her way towards me, I'd avoid her and turn the other way. I know it's harsh for me to do this, but she's done enough for me and my friends.
When I was about to go to the Decathlon meeting on my own, since Ned and MJ already got there before me, I overheard Gwen saying to one of her friends that she was so jealous of me hanging out with MJ and Ned, especially MJ, that she made plans to practically steal me away from them. And I got so furious at her for that, so I walked towards her to confront her.
"So you actually did all that on purpose? You really went that low?" I asked her, just wanting things to be get over with.
"What do you mean?" She asked, trying to look innocent. Oh, please.
"Don't lie to me, Gwen. I know you wanted to take me away from my friends. My real friends. And all because you're jealous? That's not what friends do!" I exclaimed, not feeling at all pleased at what she did, wait, actually, I was pissed at her. I can't believe I didn't see it before. Her 'friend' walked away from the situation, so it was just me and her.
"I'm sorry, Peter. I just really liked you and...I couldn't get that girl in the way of us!" I rolled my eyes and laughed sarcastically. I was seeing her true colors now.
"Well, whatever's between us, it's over. I'm sorry, Gwen."
"You can't do that to me, Peter! It's supposed to be just you and me together!"
"Are you hearing yourself, Gwen? You're better than this!" She looked down in shame and whispered.
"I know."
"Then why did you do it?"
"I...I have a lot of things I've lied about. My name's not Gwen Stacy, it's Mafalda Russ. And I wasn't here because of my mother. I was here because my uncle wanted me to investigate the famous 'Spider-Man'. And I've heard people saying you knew him, so I had hoped that maybe if we became good friends, you'd trust me enough to tell me things about him that not most people know. Or maybe you could've told me who he is. But I saw how close you were to Ned and Michelle, so I needed to get them away from you, to get you close to me. I'm sorry." She practically almost ruined my friendship with Ned and MJ. My best friends! I could've lost them.
"What are you saying? So you never meant to be friends with me, Gwe--Mafalda?" She nodded, letting tears stream down her face. But then she suddenly leaned in and kissed me. I didn't have enough time to dodge her, since she practically attacked me, and though I would've wanted this to happen weeks ago, things have changed.
Then the memory of MJ and I kissing popped into my head.
And this kiss felt like nothing to me, so I pushed her away from me.
"This isn't going to happen, Mafalda. This is the last time I'm talking to you." She just sighed and spoke in a quiet voice.
"I didn't expect it to. Goodbye, Peter." And then she walked away, and rather than feeling hurt from this pretty girl walking away from me, all I thought of was MJ, and how mad she would be at me for being late at the Decathlon meeting. Crap.
MJ's POV
Where the hell is Peter? Everyone else is here, and much to my annoyance, so was Flash. Although, ever since the kiss at the cafeteria, he's never bugged me anymore, but his face was just so annoying. But back on the situation at hand...
What the hell happened to the loser?
If he abandons us again, I'm gonna kick his ass. He just promised me not to last night, and it's already being broken? How--
"Sorry I'm late!" Peter exclaimed, panting as he entered the room and closed the door.
"Glad you decided to join us, Parker. Now take a seat." I told him in a formal, fancy voice. He chuckled at my silliness, while I just rolled my eyes at him. It's good to be back to the way it used to be.
But why did I want there to be something more between Peter and I than what we already had?
A/N: They're making progress. If only Peter stops being so thick-headed about his feelings lmao. MJ already admitted it, but my poor baby Peter can't. Yet. Or will he? Nevermind, you'll find out anyway. Thanks for reading!
