Y/N's POV /// After everyone formed a group, we could finally started to think about our sciences project. Obviously, Peter delivered all his ideas and point of views, as interesting as they are complex. But everytime he suggested an idea which seems pretty good Stacy wasn't the same opinion as him, and every ideas went down. I started to think that she was doing this on purpose, because it was Peter. Yet, he was practically the only one who had some best ideas, ours were all...so-so. Stacy suggested some, but they were all off track. This class was boring me so much, and icing on the cake, we have two hours of science class. Yay.
One hour spent, still I was rocking in my chair, bored. Suddenly, the teacher cleared his throat, and said "Alright, as I see y'all struggling to find something which is as easy as that, I think I'm going to allow you to work in the library, maybe you could find some good subjects". I crossed Peter's eyes, already begging me to go there. I faced Ned who was doing the same, and Stacy was admiring her nails. I saw some others students standing up, heading the library. I sighed, looked again in Peter's puppy eyes. "Okay, then...let's go there" I said, standing up too. We were about to go through the doorway when I saw that Stacy was still sat, admiring her nails. "Ugh, Stacy, could you move your ass!!" I shouted. Then, all student's face who have stayed in the classroom stared at me, including the teacher. Stacy was redding, looking daggers at me. She suddenly stood, and came towards us with a determined step. She crossed us, without giving any look, and went to the library alone. Peter faced me . " I think you offended her ?" he said, running his hand in his curly hair, with little a cheeky smile on his lips. "You think ?" Ned said, laughing with Peter. I looked at them, trying to retrain myself to not laugh. "She's getting on my nerves" I just said, nibbling my lip. We walked to the library, and looked for Stacy. I tried to find her among the crowd of students who were reviewing, working, reading,...there also were entire classes.
" Here", Peter said, pointing one, close to the a shelving unit. We made our way to it, and sat. "Okay, so we have to find a subject, and fast! if we don't want to be in deep shi-" "yEs, thanks Stacy.." Peter cut Stacy, before she goes too far. "Don't you dare cutting me off again" she said, giving Peter a dirty look. The more time i spent with them, the more you could cut the atmosphere with a knife. I took a look to Ned, who was biting his nails. I sighed. "Can we start now ? I don't want to stay here for ages" I said, a bit irritated. Peter and Stacy sighed at the same time, and buried their noses in their sciences books. Ned, and then me, did same.
Half an hour spend, and we still hadn't found any subject. As I was slouched on the table, I sit up straight, and looked at the others. They were literally lying on the table. Peter was almost asleep on his book, same for Stacy, but her phone was glued under her chin. I finally looked Ned, who had a trickle of drool flowing down his sleeve. His book was on his head, hiding him from the light. Please tell me I'm dreaming. I abruptly stood up, and smashed my fist on the table, almost spilling Stacy's bottle, which stayed open. In a flash, Peter raised his head, and stretched his arms, at just the right time, and avoiding the water to spill on Stacy's notes. They all rapidly raised their sleepy faces, wondering what happened. Stacy saw her bottle in Peter's hands, and "jumped" on him immediately. "WHat aRe yoU doinG with THis ?!!" "I-Im trying to he-" "Give mE thIs back!!" she screamed at him. He was looking at her, wide opened eyes. " Calm down, Stace', he's just trying to your notes-" "YOU WANTED TO SPILL THE WATER ON IT" she cuts me off. I saw Peter's hopeless gaze turning to me. I shrugged, and took the bottle from his hand. "Okay, Stace', enough now! don't you saw he did this to avoid it!" I thrown. "You only had to close that fucking bottle!" I added. "Now, Peter, you come with me looking for informations and stuffs in those books..." I pointed the shelving unit, "...While Ned and you are looking the other side" I said, while shaking Ned to awake him. I walked in front of those great shelves, followed by Peter. We looked for some books, with some interesting subjects that would perfect. I was sneaking my eyes between thousands books, when I heard Peter clearing his throat. "Look, uh, y/n, I'm sorry, for...earlier." I faced him. We were two brushwoods standing between those huge shelves filled with knowledge. "It's okay, Pete. It wasn't your fault, anyway. Relax, Parker" I smiled. He smiled too and looked down. Maybe I saw him reddening.

After one hour spend again, we found enough informations to go back to our worktable. We were heading back, when I looked up and I saw a manual attracting my eyes. I put on the tips of my feet trying to catch it but I was too small. I stretched my arm so far, but still couldn't reach it. I suddenly felt strong hands taking me by the waist. I jumped, felt that he was lifting me up. I reached the manual and took it. Then he gently put me back on the floor. I suddenly tilted towards him and went back down faster than expected. I grabbed his neck, as he held me tight against him. I looked up and crossed his two brown embers. "I got you" he whispered. Our faces were only a few centimeters apart. "Looks like I have a gift to always catch you" he laughed. I giggled. We stayed like this for maybe 1 or 2 minutes. I felt in such a safe place.
Suddenly, I heard someone clearing her throat at the end of the aisle that led to this shelf row. Peter and I both turned our faces to the person. "Tell me if am I disturbing ?" Stacy said, crossed arms. "I think it's enough time, huh? I found pretty good things with the other, there" she said, probably talking about Ned. I suddenly felt Peter's arms muscles tensing as he was still holding me. I faced him and saw his jaw contracts. He gently let go of me, and went straight on Stacy. "Excuse me ?! 'the other' ?" he said, scornfully. "Peter..." I said. "He's got a name !!" he said, ignoring me. Stacy was just standing there, a petty smile on the lips. "And ? I know that, don't worry. Was just too lazy to pronounce it" she provoked him. Yes, she was literally provoking him. Peter's fist clenched. I approached, and put my on his shoulder. " It's fine, Peter.." I whispered. "Please" I said again. He freed himself from my grip, and walked to the table, keeping staring at Stacy. She only raised an eyebrow. I followed Peter, shooting a dirty look to Stacy too. I can not bear with their little game very long.
