"Why do we have to do this while those guys just sit and gossip?" I ask between sit ups, glancing over at Liz and Gwen with a couple of other guys. I hear the words "Spiderman" and "crush" float around in their conversation, but I'm too focused on my hatred for the fact that they get to skip PE for no apparent reason.

"Because they're the cool kids," Michelle says, holding my knees together. "We, on the other hand, are not."

"But we're friends with—" I start off before I'm interrupted by Harry.

"Peter knows Spiderman!" Harry shouts as Peter throws glares at him.

"Really?" Liz asks, perking up. I guess she has a crush on Spiderman. That would make sense. The popular girl has a crush on the most popular guy in Queens. Kinda weird, though. Why have a crush on someone you know you don't have a chance with?

"One second," Pete replies, chuckling before pulling Harry down. He angrily whispers to Harry who says something back. I see them glance in my direction, and I hear Harry say, "impress and jealous." I'm sure he used incorrect grammar, but who even cares at this point? "Yes, I do know him," Peter adds after a minute.

"Could you bring him to Liz's party?" Gwen asks enthusiastically. Since when did she like Spiderman?

"Sure. Totally," Peter says, rambling.

Rolling my eyes, I continue with the sit ups. I could bother myself with that simpleton anymore. I think I'd lose too many brain cells around him. After all, he does seem to care about the most random stuff. Like "impress and jealous" whatever that meant.

Parker glances my way and asks, "You coming to the party?"

"Only losers go," Michelle answers quickly.

"Yes, she will be going," Gwen says, intervening and answering for me. I shoot her a warning glare to which she responds by arching her eyebrow.

"I guess I am," I reply after a second.

"Good," he says, looking quite pleased with himself. For what, I cease to understand.
