Monday morning she woke up and got ready for school. Because she showered the night before, she had plenty of time to put on an outfit for the day and eat breakfast.
She finishes putting on her shoes and makes her way to the kitchen.

She makes some tea and puts in in her cup for school and takes her lunch out form the refrigerator. Making breakfast, she puts on her music and eats. She tries to push back her thoughts about asking Peter and gets into Happy's car.
She watches the city out of the tinted windows and twiddles her thumbs. She turns to her phone when it buzzes. Looking at the screen she sees MJ's contact.
MJ: You're really going to ask him? D: Yeah. Should I try to get him alone? MJ: if you don't want me to make kissy noises at lunch then yes. D: lol yeah I'll make sure of that. MJ: You'll be fine just ask him the moment you see him. Whatever happens, homecoming will be a blast with you, D. D: thanks MJ. I'll see you at school.
The car slows to a stop and Delaney looks up to see they're already at school. Thanking happy in his funny disguise of a blond mustache and sunglasses, she closes the door.
————— This is it. Delaney waits until the bell finishes ringing and makes her way to Peter's locker. Turning the corner, she looks up to see him. However, Peter wasn't alone. Next to him was Liz Allen, tall, older, and beautiful. She sees them smiling and lips moving, but she can barely hear their echoing voices. Her heart breaks as she only hears 'date' and 'homecoming.' Before he could see her, she tucks behind the wall and walks away.
This is it. The boy she's falling for asked someone else to the dance.
She finds Ned and MJ in the library and they both look up. "How'd it go?" Ned asks. Delaney shifts her eyes to MJ who she guessed told Ned about her plan. "Um, Peter is going to homecoming with Liz." The two teens in front of her share a look as she slowly sinks into a chair. "Someone told me to shoot my shot and now I feel like shit. Can't believe it." She shakes her head. She honestly just felt blank. She didn't know what to do or if she'd talk to him about it. "Want me to kick his ass?" MJ says as she leans closer, but Delaney just shakes her head. "It's not his fault he likes someone else. But at the end of the day, I'll see him there."
__________ Sorceress takes a break on the roof of a random apartment complex, looking at the city and those within it. She takes a deep breath and starts to make a few flowers as she hears a familiar 'whoosh' and thud next to her. "High school fucking sucks and this is just the beginning." "Is this about your dance?" He sits next to her and kicks his feet back and forth on the edge. Sorceress nods. "I was going to ask but the timing was off I guess. So instead of me possibly going with him, 'Miss Save The Fucking Whales' was there."
————— They continue to talk. Spider-Man was confronting his second thoughts about the dance and Sorceress talks about how her friends will be there. Having someone else to talk to helped them both realize their thoughts about it all. It was therapeutic, really. It was time for them to both go home, the sun already gone and the moon rising in the sky.
"Here, for your girl. The one you really know you're into. I hope you figure that out." She hands him her conjured flowers and takes a few steps back. "What about you?" Spider-Man asks.
"I'll save him a dance."
As much as she hated to expose herself and face the awkwardness between them, she wanted him to know.
"Hey wanna meet here late Friday night?" "Absolutely. Good luck to you." "You as well." And with that, they went their separate ways.
[A/N: hey okay idk if people read these but here's the kinda sad chapter. I'm trying to make it seem like Peter realizes he might really like her back but he is still going with Liz. Delaney isn't necessarily over it because it was sad but she doesn't want her first high school dance to be miserable over it. Also, she's going to look like a GODDESS and have a great time with her friends. There might be more hints towards each other's super identities? Idk we'll have to see. Thanks for reading! Sorry if this chapter sounds icky oops. Make sure to like, comment, and vote! Lemme know what you think!]
