I wave Everly and Paisly goodbye and walk out into the streets that are lit up by the glistening of the street lamps. I stroll down the street with one hand in my pocket and the other holding my hot chocolate, which I can say is the best one i've had in a while. There's only a couple people walking around at 7pm around here, but most of them are already drunk from the bar down the road. So I put in my headphones and decide to talk to Iris.

"Hey Iris, what's the temperature at the moment?"

"Good evening Miss (L/N), It's currently 53 degrees Fahrenheit in Queens"

Oh my god, no thanks.

I breathe in the air and watch as the fog slowly floats away then take a sip of my hot chocolate.

"Iris could you do a background check on Peter Parker for me?" I say plucking some leaves from a bush as I walked by it.

"Sure thing, Miss (L/N). Peter Parker, Age 16, goes to Midtown School of Science and Technology and lives with his Aunt May. There seems to be no criminal record and his grades have not dropped below a A-. He is part of the Midtown's decathlon team, which won last year, and is currently top of his class for P.E. Do you want me to continue?"

"No thank you Iris. Mmm he didn't strike me as the sporty kind of guy." I throw my cup in the in bin and put both hands back in my pockets.

"You know Iris you don't need to call me by my last name all the time, I mean I did make you so I feel like we should already be at first name basis." I kick a rock down the sidewalk and trip a little when I try and kick it again.

"Okay (Y/N), as you wish." I kick the rock again.

"(Y/N) I sense a new heat signature coming up behind you, he's on your right." I step to the left and watch as the man runs past me as he disobeys the red light telling us not to walk. Luckily for him there were no cars but I still stopped and waited for the lights to go green again. I cross the road then finally get back to my apartment. As soon as I get in I jump on my bed and splay myself out like a starfish. I reach into my pocket and pull out the piece of paper that had Peter's number written on it and plug his number into the message bar.

We messaged each other until the sun started to seep through the windows and the birds started to sing again. After a good 6 hour nap I woke up at 10am and started to get ready to go for a look around the neighbourhood but I was stopped by a sudden noise. A knock at the door made me jump and spin around, when I went to open it but first I looked through the peep hole. It was Peter.

"Hey! (Y/N) I was wondering if you maybe wanted to come see a movie with Ned and I?" He smiles at me, making my heart beat faster.

"Um yeah sure, I need to finish getting ready first though." I say looking at his perfectly quaffed hair.

"Okay cool. Um the movie is at 12 so i'll meet you back out here at 10:45?"

"Sure." I say. I close the door and start to get ready. I put on my ripped jeans, pink jumper and my white converse. I straighten my hair then put on some mascara and lip balm, grab my little white backpack and put my keys and phone in there. I walk out my door and see Peter waiting for me on the other side.

"Ready to go?" He smiles at me and I give him a nod. We take the elevator down and start walking.

"So I was thinking maybe we could stop past a supermarket on the way there to pick up some snacks because the cinema's food is expensive"

"Okay, sounds like a plan" I jump along the pavement trying not to step on any of the cracks, Peter bursts out laughing.

"What are you doing?" he looks at me, his face was all red.

"What? have you never tried to not step on the cracks before?"

"No, I've never thought about it" he chuckles back.

"Well now's your chance" I grab him by the wrist and start jumping again. Pulling him behind me, forcing him to jump along. After a while I stop and sit down on a bench huffing, Peter does the same.

"You know, you are a very strange person (Y/N). Strange, but I like it." he looks at me and grins.

*Peter's POV*

I can't help but stare at (Y/N) as she laughs to herself. She's so beautiful, definitely the prettiest girl who i've ever talked to. I get up and hold out my arm.

"Shall we?" I ask looking down at her.

"We shall" she says jumping up and linking her arm in mine. After we'd bought some food and waited in the park for a while, Ned showed up. Although Ned's my best friend I kind of wish that he wasn't here right now, I was having such a good time with (Y/N).  We finally reach the cinema and (Y/N) unhooks her arm from mine and runs up to pick the movie. God she looked cute when she ran. She comes back with 3 tickets to Maze Runner: The Death Cure, apparently it hasn't come out yet where she's from.  We go through the cinema and sit down, (Y/N) on the left of me and Ned on the right. She opens up her bag and gives me the popcorn and crispy m'n'ms and I pass the sweets down to Ned who's already invested in the movie trailers.  She taps me on the shoulder and leans in close.

"Thank you for inviting me." she whispers. I can't see her, with it being so dark, but I can tell she's smiling.

"No problem, thank you for choosing a decent movie for once." I laugh and she laughs back. The movie starts to play but I don't really notice because she's more interesting. I watch her facial expressions change as the movie goes along until something happens. I felt her hand in mine, she was grasping it so tight it felt like it might drop off. Suddenly she loosened her grip and wiped away a tear that escaped  her eye.

*(Y/N)'s POV*

He was dead!? I knew it was going to happen but not like this! The book was different! I turned my head to Peter to see he's already looking at me, he giggles when he sees the tears streaming down my face. He places his hand on my face and wipes the tears away with his thumb before turning back to watch the movie, I turn back around and put my head on his shoulder. Once the movie ends we all pack the food back into my bag and walk out, I keep my hand in Peter's.

"Hey, my mum's here so I'll see you guys tomorrow" Ned waves at us as he gets into the car and drives away.

"Do you want me to call May? she can pick us up if you want." He says turning to face me.

"No, it's ok. I kinda want to walk, you can call her to pick you up but I'm okay, thanks though." I smile and start walking

"Oh but (Y/N) why would I give up the opportunity to spend more time with you" he chases after and we walk hand in hand back home.
