Young Avengers: Child's Play [1]

Seven

Emma POV

I spent my rest of my weekend training, Black Widow - Natasha worked me pretty hard. As I went to my locker, I rolled my shoulder. Adjusting to the slight dull pain in it.

I open my locker to reach for my chemistry and physic text books, when I turn to see Peter and Ned by Peter's locker. A small smile slipped the second my eyes landed on him.

"So you have eyes for Peter, huh?" It was MJ.

I jumped slightly, "Wha-! Uh- no." I had a mini heart attack from that.

MJ eyes me and turns to Peter, "Then you wouldn't care if he went out with someone else?"

"No- yes- wait, he's into someone?" I confusingly ask.

MJ smirks.

"There was no one, you wanted to see my reaction." I say realizing it.

MJ slow claps, "And it went exactly how I expected." She said.

I shut my locker and sigh. If it was this obvious that MJ noticed, then Peter might know. I rest my head on my locker and frown. Sure, I may have a small crush on Peter but he only sees me as a friend. And we've only known each other for what almost a month.

"Does he know?" I was too afraid to look up.

MJ shakes her head but added, "He's too tense to notice."

I look at MJ, "Really?"

She nods.

"Oh great." I say, "Please, please don't say anything."

MJ nods, "Alright."

I glance back at Peter, it was like he read my mind and looked in my direction. I see his dorky smile and wave at my direction. I couldn't help but smile and wave back at him. Ned nudges Peter, probably mentioning how they'll be late for class. I know because MJ whispers that into my ear.

"I'm coming, I'm coming." I mutter to MJ.

We walk in the opposite direction as Ned and Peter. I turn my head back to look at Peter. He was in his world. Laughing at something Ned was saying. There is no way he'd like me.

Peter POV

It was lunch time. I was sitting at the table with Ned. We were beginning to eat. Emma was missing, MJ had informed us she was speaking to a teacher regarding an assignment she was behind on due to it not being covered at her previous school.

However, when Emma appeared into the lunch room, everything slowed to me. I lean my head on my hand as I watched her walk. As she walked, it felt like the entire world was in slow motion. Her hair bounced as she walked, and her body moved as she passed table.

I unconsciously smile seeing her.

I felt a nudge by Ned, "Pete, you're staring."

I snap and turn away, "No I wasn't."

Ned gives me a look.

"Yeah you were," MJ speaks, "Creepy."

I turn to her. Pot calling the kettle black, the entire last year MJ was up in all my business. Knowing I had quit all the clubs but one and even seemed to be one move ahead of me.

Before I could say something, Emma sits down next to MJ and in front of me.

"Hi guys," She smiles, "Sorry I was running late."

Ned smiles at her, "It's fine. You weren't missing much."

MJ smirks.

"So uh- get everything sorted?" I ask.
