I look over and see my phone had lite up. I roll over on my bed and see I had some texts from Ned and one from Peter. I opened my phone and saw that Peter texted me and asked if I was at school, which I wasn't because I didn't feel like going to school today. Then I look over and see Ned's texts:

Hey, where are you?

Everything Ok?

Peter seems upset that you're not here.

(y/n)?

I sigh and see that it was sometime after one in the afternoon. I didn't realize that I laid around in bed for that long but I just didn't feel like getting up and run around. Early this morning, Happy took me back to my apartment so that I could go to school but obviously I didn't go.

I bite my lips and begin to text Ned.

Hey, I haven't felt good all day today so I didn't come to school. I'm sorry for not telling you guys. You can tell Peter that everything is fine with me.

I push send, set the phone down and run my hands over my face. I hear my phone go off and see that Ned text me back.

Oh, good! Pete said he's relieved that you're okay. He was wondering what happened between you and your dad after you dropped him off?

We got into an argument and he took away my suit. That's about it.

Damn! Your dad was on a roll, wasn't he?

Haha funny. 

Anyway, I did want to ask you something.

What is it?

I was wondering are you going to homecoming tomorrow? Pete is going with Liz and all four of us could hang out together!

I felt a pang in my heart and try to hold back tears as I read this. I take a deep breathe and start to type again.

Well...Dad grounded me...so I don't know if I can go...

I set my phone down as I sigh then my phone starts to ring. I look and see that it is Peter calling me. I pick it up and answer it. "Hey, Pete." I said in a depressing tone. "Hey, I'm sorry about getting you in trouble with your dad..." Peter said and I let out a breathless chuckle. "Peter, it's not your fault. I chose to team up with you. I'm a big girl! I can handle it." I replied and my heart leaps as I hear him chuckle.

"To be honest I thought you wouldn't want to talk to me." I said. "I'm not blaming you, (y/n). I--I screwed up. All I wanted was to impress your dad and prove to him I could do it!" Peter said. "Join the club, Pete." I said.

"So, uh....changing the subject....are you going to homecoming?" Peter asked. "Ned just asked me that and I don't know. Dad grounded me so I don't know if I can go. Normally I would just go ahead and go but I don't want to upset him more." I replied. "But Ned told me you asked Liz to the dance."

"Yeah....I...I--I...uh..." Peter stammered which I couldn't help but giggle at. He was always so cute when he stammered. "I'm happy for you, Pete. Hopefully everything goes well between you two." I said as a tear falls down my cheek. "Yeah, thanks, (y/n)." Peter replied. I wipe away the tear and start to clear my throat. "You know what....I'll see if I can make my way to the dance and meet up with you guys." I said.
