„Fast reflexes, huh?" ______
May and Peter sat down on the couch, watching 'The Impossible' , while eating pizza. "You know, even though this movie is sad, it has a great message.", Aunt May looked to Peter. "And this boy, Lukas, reminds me of you. You two look alike.", she continued, smiling. Peter turned his head to her. "Really? I don't see it.", he said, taking another bite of his pizza. May just shook her head, in disbelief. The continued watching, while they cried. "I will never go to the ocean anymore.", Peter stated, hugging his aunt tight.
Peter was in his room, trying to sleep, but he couldn't. He had a nightmare again. The vulture tortured May and killed her, and Peter couldn't do anything to save her. He was shaken by the action of his mind. He didn't want to lose her too. She was his only family left. But Peter closed his eyes again, falling into the land of dreams.
"Peter, want me to drive you?", Aunt May asked, when Peter entered the kitchen, sleepy. He nodded and filled his glass with orange juice. "Next Time, you'll tell me, when you have a nightmare, 'Kay?", she said hugging him and drinking her coffee. They took their jackets, and May took her keys and they left their apartment. They sat in May's red car and drove towards Midtown high.
"Hey Peter.", Ned greeted him with their too long handshake. "Losers.", MJ said while she passed them. The two beys gave her a weird look. "Why did May drive you?", "If I walked, I would have come late to school. I overslept. Again.", Peter took his books out of his locker and they walked to their first period. They had English literature and were in the same class with their deca teammates. Peter and Ned sat in the last row next to MJ and Gwen. Gwen waved Peter happily and smiled. "Hey Peter.", she said and turned her head back to the front as their teacher Mrs. Longbottom arrived.
Peter wasn't in the mood for paying attention in math. He tuned out and started to draw a suit. He wasn't good at drawing, but since he knew his suit well enough, he could draw it without any mistakes. He tried changing things on it. He felt his spider sense tingling on his back, he turned to his left and caught the thing. It was a sharpener thrown at him. He looked to the other side of the room and saw Flash with widened eyes. When Peter realized that the whole class was staring at him he said "fast reflexes.", and shrugged, he ignored the stares and saw from the corner of his eyes that MJ smiled and Gwen gave him a knowing look.
He couldn't stop think about MJ's smile. It was beautiful, he hoped to see it more often. Peter didn't know why he liked it, but he doesn't mind it. "Hey MJ.", Peter greeted her. He and Ned were at lunch, sitting on their usual seats. And as always, MJ sat a few seats away from them. She looked up and nodded at him, but looked back to her book. Gwen also came, and sat in front of MJ.
MJ looked up, raising a brow. "What?", Gwen smiled. "I just wanted to talk to you, that's okay, right?", she asked. MJ put down her book, seeing Peter and Ned widening their eyes in surprise. "Sure why not.", she replied and Gwen smiled more. "I was wondering if you want to come to my place after school. We have a pool and all. We could swim in there.", she said and MJ nodded, she was coming over. Then Gwen turned to Peter and Ned and asked the same question, surprising them and MJ. But they agreed to come.
After school was another decathlon practice, this time Peter was there from the beginning till the end, like he had promised MJ. They were going through flash cards, but not in groups. MJ asked the questions and the whole team was answering them.
"What is the balanced equation of ammonia?", Peter buzzed the red button. "NH3", he answered. "Correct. What is anemia?", MJ said. Gwen answered "anemia is a condition where the body lacks the necessary amount of hemoglobin to carry oxygen to the body's cells; this condition presents as serious fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.", everyone looked at her. "Correct. Gwen you're really good.", "How come she's on the team, but I'm not.", Flash exclaimed. „Why am I a replacement for Peter when he's not always here.", he continued. "Flash, Peter is the best of all of us at chemistry. And like you said, Peter isn't always here, then you can take his place when he's not here. Do you understand? Okay, let's continue.", MJ said and asked the next question, leaving Flash angry.
At the end of the practice, everyone took their bags and said their goodbyes. Peter, Ned and MJ waited for Gwen. "You all go home and take your swimsuits with you. Here's my address. See you later guys.", Gwen said and left the three. "Yeah, see you Peter.", Ned said when he spotted his bus. Peter and MJ stayed there and looked at each other. "Fast reflexes, huh?", she said with a smirk. Peter felt his heart beating fast. "Yeah, uh, you want to walk a bit?", he asked and MJ nodded.
The two walked to the center of Queens. „Hey, isn't that the sandwich shop which got destroyed, thanks to Spider-Man?", she said pointing to the new sandwich shop. "Yeah, didn't know that the opened again.", Peter said, going towards the shop. MJ followed and they both entered the shop. „¡Hola! Peter, long time no see.", said the owner of the shop with his Italian accent. "Hey, Yeah, didn't know you reopened.", Peter said, caressing the cat. MJ just stood in the background, not wanting any kind of sozial contact.
At Gwen's place, Peter met Ned and MJ at the backyard. It was huge for a little house and in the center of the garden was a huge swimming pool. Gwen came out with drinks and said that they could go into the pool. Peter and Ned jumped in and MJ and Gwen sat on the sun-loungers. "Hey MJ, Gwen come in.", Ned said and tried to splash them with water. Gwen also jumped in, leaving MJ. She took a sip from her lemonade and watch them play like little kids. She smiled as Ned tried to push Peter into the water.
After the three teens came out, they tried to push MJ into the water, but Peter being the one who pushed her. He came from behind and jumped with her into the water. "Peter!", she screamed and started to laugh. It was a different day for MJ, she had fun with people she didn't know well. But she liked it.
Peter then asked her, when they left Gwen's Place, to walk her home. Ned followed them and said his goodbye when he needed to take the other way. There was a silence between Peter and Mj when they walked. MJ watched the streets, while Peter started to watch her face features. He noticed how her brown eyes moved, and how her curly hair was in the lose pony tail. His eyes then wandered down to her lips. Her soft, pink lips, he noticed how she didn't wear lipstick on them. He wanted to feel her lips on his. And wanted to feel her arms hugging his torso.
"You're beautiful.", he blurted out and saw her cheeks turning to a light pink. She didn't dare to look at him, her heart was beating fast and she could say that she felt uncomfortable. She really liked Peter but what he just said was something she wasn't used to. Michelle felt Peter grabbing her hand and intertwined their fingers. " Can you look at me.", he whispered and MJ did what he said. "What?", she said, and raised a brow. Suddenly Peter lost all his courage and started to get nervous. "I...uh...", he let go of her hand and scratched his neck. MJ smiled, knowing that she made him nervous.
When they arrived at her place, MJ thanked Peter for walking her home. She took her keys and put the into the keyhole, but she turned around to see Peter still staying there where she left him. She waved and entered her home. She liked the day, and realized that she liked Peter.
