Why Me

Part 4

Without a moment's notice Peters eyes began to sink into a sad sulk and almost had tears in them. Chase noticed his sinking expression on his face and said,
"Hey are you okay?"
With those words Peter lost it he couldn't take it any longer he broke down and a tear fell ever so slowly and gently down his cheek. Peter had tried ever so hard to keep the tears from coming ,but he just couldn't they just kept coming so eventually he just gave up and let them fall.
"No I am not okay Chase. Chase to be honest with you I've liked you since we were in the 7th grade (btw they are in 11th) ,but you never thought twice about me I was just Peter the boy in your math class or your history class nothing more."
"Peter I do like you."
"NO YOU DON'T!!!!"
Peters voice was beginning to raise and through those tears of pain tears of anger began to emerge.
"I do like you Peter....."
"NO YOU DON'T LIER!!!!"
" I don't know what you want me to do to prove it to you."
Chase's voice was beginning to sound a little angrier with every word that came out.
"Chase look I know you don't like me and so do you!!! So why are telling me this because you like Spiderman not Peter but tell me why isn't Peter good enough why can't you or anyone else see Peter how they see Spider-Man!!! Huh??? You didn't like me before and don't pretend like you do now and your friends don't talk about me behind my back on how I am sooo weird and a freak and how unattractive I am and how you all think I am just some know it all with no hopes in life besides going to an Ivy League university!!!!"
By now Peter was out of breath and still in tears full of mixed emotions.
"Look Peter weather you believe it or not I do like you and not because you are Spider-Man I've liked Peter since we were in grade 4 ,but I figured I was never enough for the boy I saw the real Peter. The smart funny and sometimes a bit cowardly Peter not the amazing Spider-Man who jumped from building to building saving lives ,but the Peter the boy who was Spider-Man with or without the mask. And why I never told you I liked you was because I was not the best student and nowhere near pretty enough for the Peter that I saw so I figured if I was part of making your life living hell no one could ever have you like I wanted you. I know my actions were stupid ,very immature and honestly downright mean I am really sorry for the things I have done to you.....and I hope we can start a new beginning one were we are real because if you ask me Peter is just as good as Spider-Man and maybe a little better."
With her final words Chase sat there on the bench pondering the things she had done to Peter and more importantly why she had done them but she thought back and asked herself why....
