It's Not What You Think

Walking through the halls in Midtown high is like walking through the busy streets of New York. Their's people running, playing with their tech, and just standing in the middle talking. That's what bugs me about the hallways here. Like come on man can you move already!?! I was headed to my locker and as I opened it I felt someone's hand grab my wrists. I flinched my hand away and as I turned around I saw not only but my best friends, Peter and Ned. We all greeted each other and walked to our classes. Since I didn't have first period with either of them, they walked me to my class. I walked into my class and went to the back where I usually sit and wait for the other students to pile in.

~ Peter's POV ~

As soon as we were out of earshot from y/n I asked Ned, "Why does she always flinch when I touch her?" I was really confused. Y/n would've told us if something was wrong right? She would at least tell me, right? "I don't know man. She doesn't always flinch", ned says. I looked back at the most recent times that I or we made her flinch. "She always flinches when we grab her wrist", I state. Ned and I both realized something. "You don't think she would-", I cut him off shaking my head no. We both decided that the next time one of us was alone with her we would ask. 

~ Y/n's POV ~

As I was taking notes I felt a poke on my shoulder. I turned to my partner Liz to see what she needed. 

"Yeah?"

"The boys are worried about you"

"Ned and Peter? Why"

"I was headed here and as I walked past them, they were talking about you and how they were going to talk to you separately"

I was confused. Why would they want to talk to me alone? 

"You are alright though right y/n?"

"Oh, uh, yeah I'm more than alright", I say with a small smile and a chuckle escaping my mouth. She says, "Ok" and we continue taking notes. The class goes on and I get a text from Peter.

1 new message

Peter: Hey at lunch can we talk

Y/n: Yeah sure. Wait, you're texting in class? This must be important lol

Peter: Yeah it's pretty important haha

I put my phone away and carry on with class. 

~ Time Skip ~

I headed to my locker to switch out my books. As I was doing so I felt a presence behind me. Well, more like I could see Peter in my peripheral vision. "Peter I can see you and feel your eyes burning holes into my head", I said jokingly. He laughs a little as he says, "I wasn't going to scare you I was going to ask you something". I closed my locker and turned around. "So what did you wanna ask?" I said deciding to not take a walk. 

"Are you okay?"

"Ummm, yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"Well Ned and I were talking and we noticed that you always flinch when we grab you by your wrist."

Oh my god. They think that I-

"You guys think that I-"

"We just want to know if you're okay and if you want to talk to somebody we're here for you, ya know"

"Oh jeez. Look I don't do that. I'm fine seriously. Look" I showed him my wrist to show him I didn't do anything.

I see that he gives out a sigh of relief and we finally walk to the cafeteria. 

~ At Home ~ 

I walked in my house seeing that my big sister was home. 

"Hey, Nat!" I was happy to see her home and not out on a mission. I ran up to her and gave her a huge bone-crushing hug.

"Hey y/n/n"

"So how long will it be until your next mission huh?"

"That is something I don't know but I'm going to assume I'll be here for a while"

I smiled happily at the fact that my sister was going to be here with me and I won't be here at my house by myself. 

She told me how the mission went and how all the others were. I told her how I was doing at school and told her what's been going on with me and my friends. 

"Ya know, something kinda funny happened at school today"

"Oh yeah, what was that?" Nat said getting up heading to the kitchen. 

"Peter and Ned thought that I was harming myself," I said casually.

"Why would they think that?"

"Well, you know how I have the thing about people touching my wrist? Well, I was just putting some things away in my locker and to get my attention one of them grabbed my wrist and I kinda freaked out" I say as I am sinking into my couch.

"Y/n it's okay. You know they wouldn't tease you about it"

"I know. I just thought I wouldn't have. It's just kinda embarrassing"

"What are you going to tell them if they keep asking?"

"I just don't like it I guess?"

~ Next Day ~

It was lunch and we sat at our usual table. Ned and Peter haven't asked me about my wrist yet so maybe I don't have to explain anything. 

Just as I said that Ned asks; "So what is it with you and your wrist?" I sighed and responded with, "It's nothing bad guys, honestly." They look at each other, then at me. "If it's nothing bad then just tell us." I sighed once again and told them how it just made me feel uncomfortable. 

"I didn't tell you guys because I thought you'd tease me and do it to me even more"

"Y/n, if it made you uncomfortable you should've told us sooner", Peter informed. 

"Yeah, and come on, we're not mean. Unlike flash", Ned said as he glared at flash.

I laughed at Ned glaring at Flash and continued eating. I was so glad that they understood my whole thing with my wrists. The bell rang and we all got our stuff, threw our trash away and went to our next class. 




A/N ~ Ok I'm going to be honest with you guys. I started this with so much inspiration and then that kinda died out. But I wanted to finish it because it's been a while since I last posted. I hope you guys like this. And I'm sorry if it wasn't exactly cute or something. But I will try and make the next story cute and maybe do something different with it. Oh and before I leave (because I can totally do that right?) I wrote this because I don't actually like my wrist being touched or held. So there's something to know about me :)

Ok see ya guys later ;)
