2023

Peter finally worked up the courage to do it. He had introduced himself to all his neighbors... except for one. He paced in front of his door until he clapped his hands together, took a deep breath, and threw the door open. He made a quick turn and stood in front of the door directly next to his apartment.

Knocking, he sucked in a breath. He had seen you walk the halls every day, and he had already developed a crush just by looking at you. However, he knew he had to get over his nerves if he ever wanted to talk to you.

The door opened a second later, and you looked at Peter with a smile. "Hi, how can I help you?" You asked.

"Hi!" Peter blurted out, then took another deep breath to calm himself. "I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Peter Parker; I just moved in a few days ago right next to you." He stuck out his hand, waiting for you to shake, and once your hands touched, he noticed something cold—a ring.

"Welcome, Peter!" You nodded to him. "Flash! Come and meet our new neighbor!" You yelled into the apartment.

A man appeared next to you, and Peter scrunched his face at who popped up. "Peter Parker?" Flash Thompson asked. "I haven't seen you in years! Do you not remember?" He turned to you. "We went to high school with him!" Flash laughed and shook Peter's hand. You gasped when realizing what Flash was talking about, and your smile grew bigger. "Good to see you. You're our new neighbor?"

As soon as Flash said high school, Peter remembered why you looked so familiar. The crush only grew, and he remembered things from the school years and his significant feelings for you.

Peter dropped the handshake and scratched his neck. "Yeah...just moved back to New York a few days ago. Got a job offer."

"Oh, that's awesome!" You smiled. "We are being terrible people. Come inside! Let's talk," You offered, and there was no way Peter would say no. He was excited to know he was living next to you; maybe not so much Flash, but people change. When he entered your apartment, his eyes looked around at everything. There were pictures of you, pictures of Flash, a clock, and some random posters. But the picture that caught his eye was a picture of Flash in a tux and you in a dress, dated 2022, about a year ago, at your joint graduation party. Since you and Flash are a year older than Peter, both of you graduated college last year.

The three of you sat around the coffee table and began talking. "What brings you back to New York?" Flash questioned.

Peter shrugged. "I graduated from MIT a few weeks ago. I got a job offer from Tony Stark since I used to have an internship for him. He needed some more help, and now that I have a degree...well, I couldn't say no to Mr. Stark!" Peter laughed. "Hoping to work a lot and start up my own business. But that's boring stuff."

"Wow, Tony Stark?" You marveled. "That's so cool."

"That internship was...real?" Flash asked, Peter only nodding in response. "Huh. I could have sworn you made it up back in the day."
