Waste of My Time

It was late at night, and I was back at the Avengers Facility. Tony was partially pissed at me, because I was his responsibility and I disappeared without telling him. I had been out in Queens, trying to be alone, only to have Spider-Man comfort me. I sat on my bed, wondering, who was really behind that mask. My thoughts slowly drifted to Peter Parker. I may or may not have developed crush on him the minute I arrived on Earth. Everything was so confusing and complicated. It seemed like Peter was never going to return my feelings for him. When I was with Spider-Man it seemed like there was an actual chance we could be together. One-sided love, isn't exactly healthy, maybe I should just forget about anything I thought of Peter. He clearly had feelings for Liz. The thought of her instantly made me dizzy. I decided it would be best for me to get some rest.

My alarm went off at six am, I probably shouldn't have stayed up so late attempting to sort out my feelings. I was so exhausted, I didn't want to get out of bed. As soon as I was able to drag myself out of bed, I took a nice cold shower to wake me up. I got dressed, and went down to the kitchen where I saw Tony seated at the island counter sipping his hot coffee, scrolling on his phone. He heard me enter the room and looked up from his phone. "Morning," he said with no expression at all. I didn't think much of it, he was a busy man, and probably was even more tired than I was.

I smiled at him as I headed towards the cupboards, locating a granola bar of some sort. Once I found one, I poured a glass of milk for myself. I chugged it down, and made my way to the door. "Bye Tony!" I yelled as I walked out the door and to the car waiting outside for me.

*Time Skip*

I entered the school, and brushed past a crowd of students. I didn't bother going to my locker, I didn't really need anything from it. On my way to first period I saw Liz Allen surrounded by a few other girls. They were giggling and teasing Liz about something. Liz is a kind, smart, and caring girl. I didn't have anything against her. Except every time I saw her jealousy was brewing up inside of me. I ignored my feeling and headed into the classroom where I sat down at my seat. I took out my notebook and pencil, placing it in front of me.

Peter walked into the room, heading towards me. Oh god. Why is he walking this way. I had no intentions of talking to him today. I just wasn't in the mood. I looked down at my notebook hoping not to make any eye contact. He sat down next to me, taking out his stuff from his bag. Right, he sits next to me. I felt more nervous than usual. It's like my entire confidence had dropped to the lowest level possible when I was around Peter, and when my confidence drops I become the most awkward and clumsy person you'll ever meet. This isn't going to end well.

I sighed out loud by accident and Peter just looked at me. I could feel his eyes locked on me for a while, the heat rising in my cheeks. Once he turned his focus back to his notes I felt relieved. Throughout the rest of my classes with Peter I tried my best to bring my confidence back up but whenever I talked, I just stuttered.  I rarely stuttered.

During Lunch, I was lost in my thoughts. I just stared at my plate of food and poked at it, not realizing what was going on. "Oh, come on Penis Parker, at least fight back for your girlfriend over there. Ignoring us only shows her what a complete loser you are!" I raised my head and Flash pointed at me. "She's not my girlfriend..." Peter muttered. I'm not gonna lie, that hurt more than it should've. In fact it caught me off guard and I ended up knocking over my milk. That brought everyone's attention towards me and I just got up with my head down and grabbed some napkins. I cleaned up my mess and Flash and his little crew just began to snicker. I just looked back down at my food. After Flash left, I noticed Peter was acting a bit strange while him and Ned were having a conversation. He kept glancing at me, making me more uncomfortable than I already was.

I began listening to their conversation and soon figured out, they were plotting on how Peter should ask Liz out to Homecoming, whatever that was. Considering they were talking about Liz, I decided not to listen anymore.
