•(y/n)'s POV•
I feel like all I've been doing is sulking around. It's weird not hanging out with Peter and Ned anymore. Michelle is really my only friend right now.
It's usually pretty lonely, but with school starting to wrap up, I'm usually pretty busy. Next year I'll be a senior, which is terrifying enough.
Michelle was over and we were talking. She kept trying to bring up Peter, but I kept changing the subject. After a while, she got a text and had to leave. I was all alone again.
So, I decided to go and walk around to our park, and clear my head. I didn't feel like taking the elevator, and since I'm not that many flights up, I decided to walk down the stairs.
Ya. Big mistake.
No i didn't get attacked by some creepy dude or kidnapped, but I did run into Peter. When I say run into I literally mean like run into. He dropped all of his books.
"Oh my gosh, Peter I'm so sorry!" I said. I don't care if we are ex's, I'm still gonna help him pick up his books.
When I handed him his last book our fingers touched and I felt butterflies in my stomac-no (y/n) stop.
I looked up and said sorry again.
"(y/n) it's ok." He said pushing hair out of his face. God, he looked so dream-no. Stop.
"Well I got to go, bye." I said quickly.
"Bye (y/n)." He responded smiling. Before he could see me start to blush I looked away.
What is wrong with me?

•Peter's POV•
"Oh my god Peter, I'm so sorry." I heard someone say. I looked up. It was (y/n). I missed her so much. She started to pick up my books, and so did I.
When she handed me my last book, our fingers touched. I felt butterflies in my stomach and I didn't care. I knew I still loved (y/n), but I respected her choices.
She looked up and said sorry again.
"(y/n), it's ok." I said pushing hair out of my face. Is it my imagination, or did (y/n) blush a little bit.
"Well, I got to go, bye." (y/n) said. I felt disappointed. I wish she could have stayed longer.
"Bye (y/n)." I said as she turned around. I walked up to my apartment with a smile on my face. I'm definitely taking the stairs more often.

•2 hours later•
I was sitting on my bed throwing my pen up and down because I was bored, when I heard my phone ding.

(Carl) (one of Flashes friends)
Party at my house-7:00 don't be late

I put my phone down. Should I go? I thought about it and decided to ask Aunt May.

"Hey, Aunt May?"

"Yes Peter?" I heard her yell from the kitchen. I went over and asked her.

"So one of my.. friends, is throwing a party, is it ok if I-"

"Sure Peter, what time is it at?"

"7:00"

"Lets starting heading over then it's 6:40!"

~time skip to when they got there~

   When I went inside, I could feel myself getting more and more nervous. Ned couldn't make it, which made me more nervous than I normally would be, but then, to put the cherry on top, (y/n) walked through the door.
   Just my luck. She looked just as nervous as me, scanning the room for someone she knew. We locked eyes for a couple seconds before she walked over to me.
  "Hey Peter." (y/n) said. This is quite awkward.
  "Hey (y/n)." I responded. We kinda stood there in silence, until,
  "Hey, Peter, I know we are ex's, but I would still like to be friends with you." My heart rose a bit. She still wants to be friends. Maybe I can win her back.
  "Sound perfect."
  "So Friends? (y/n) said sticking out her hand.
   "Friends." I Said shaking her hand. But then..
"Hello Hello Hello Carl's Party!!!" I heard the Dj say. I looked over and, oh god. It's Flash.
"So, in honor of Carl's requests," Flash said looking over at Carl, "We'll he having a dance battle!! I will decide the dancers. First round-Girl V Girl!"
All the girls raised their hand, except for (y/n).
"Why don't you raise your hand (y/n)?" I asked
"Oh.. ummm.. I can't dance."
"Oh I'm sure you can dance better than 3/4ths of the girls raising their hands right now."

•(y/n)'s POV•
(y/n)'s thoughts
"Oh, I'm sure you can dance better than 3/4ths of the girls raising their hands right now." Peter said. What are these feelings he's giving me?
"All right lets do... Victoria!"(If your name is Victoria, change it to Charlotte)
I feel bad for who ever has to go against her.
  "And lets do......." no ones hands were raised. Everyone knew Victoria had been on the dance team since Freshman year, and was the captain this year.
   "... lets do (y/n)!"
    I froze. He just said my name. MY NAME. I couldn't move, until Peter nudged me up there. I turned around and he gave me a thumbs up. I took a deep breath and walked over there.
  "What song do you guys want?" Flash asked.
   "Do turn it up" Victoria said, before even consulting with me. I was ok with that though. I used to dance to it in my room all the time.
  "Ok! Victoria will start and then about oh.. 25 seconds in, (y/n) will take over and at the end you guys will join together. Got it."
  "Got it." We both Said in unison.
Flash turned on the music and we started.
    While Victoria was doing her little part of the dance, I looked into the crowd. Peter was staring at me. Just at me. Not Victoria. She's dancing why is he looking at me?
   Once it was about 25 seconds in, I made my entrance. I looked out into the audience for some of it, but was mainly staring at the wall. In the back. So it would look like I'm looking at them, when I was really concentrating on my dancing.
    I think Victoria and I did pretty well at staying together at the end. Once the music stopped, everyone clapped. I looked out.
  Peter's eyes were still on me.
  "All right. Good job ladies. How we are going to do this is, I'm going to say a name, and you cheer. Who ever gets the louder cheer wins. We will have a boy V boy and who ever wins the boy will go against the winning girl. Got it. Ready-VICTORIA!!!"
   The cheers were pretty decent. But not that loud.
   "(Y/N)!!
   The cheers were loud. Louder than Victoria's? What!? I was shocked.
  "Well it sounds like the winner is (y/n)!"
  Surprisingly, Victoria took that pretty well.
  "Good Game (y/n)! You should try out for dance next year!"
  "Thank you!" I said as I looked out into the crowd. I didn't really pay attention to the boys round, all I know is that is was Carl V James. Both of them hate each other, but in the end, James ended up winning. (Surprisingly) To be honest, they were both pretty bad. But James and I had done a dance together about a year ago.
    "(y/n) please come up and face your opponent, JAMES! Now what song do you two want?"
  I walked up and looked at him. We both nodded and I said "New Rules."
  "Ok!! Lets goo!!"
  Peter again, was staring at me the whole time. It felt awkward, but I kept dancing.
"Ok, the results! James!" The screams were really loud. I knew he won.
  "And (y/n)." Or maybe not. I didn't know people could scream so loud!
  "(y/n) wins!!"

~Time skip 30 min~

  I was dancing with my new friends. Winning that competition definitely made me even a little bit more popular. But the whole time I feel like there are eyes staring at the back of my head. I turned around and saw Peter staring at me.

   I waved and he waved back, his cheeks turning red

   I waved and he waved back, his cheeks turning red. I was confused because we agreed to just be friends, but I just shrugged it off, and went back to dancing with my new friends.

Peter's POV
Peter's thoughts.
  I was staring at (y/n) (trying not to be creepy) when she turned around. Shoot
  She waved and I waved back. I felt my face turn red. No. I can't feel this way. We are friends. It makes her happy.
  I turned away and went to the kitchen. People were drunk kissing in there so I just left. I just sat on the couch and stared at my phone, bored.

~10 Minutes later.~

"COUPLE DANCE TIME!! GET WITH A RANDOM PERSON OF SAME OR OPPOSITE GENDER AND SLOOOOW DANNCE!" DJ Flash screamed into the mic.
I kept sitting there on the couch until I heard.
"Hey, Peter, Wanna Dance?" I heard a voice say. I looked up. It was.....
