The Choice-Spider-Man homecoming fanfic

The assigment & a long metal object

Mr. Leeds and Miss Benson, and Mr. Parker and Miss Jones," their history teacher finished. "Now, you all will be working together to come up with a paper on what you think should be different in America." Peter groaned, eagerly waiting for the bell to ring. Finally, it did and he quickly gathered his stuff and ran out the door. "Hey, Parker!" MJ yelled. Peter rolled his eyes and prepared for whatever smarty-pants comment she would make. "What?" Peter asked as he reached his locker and turned towards MJ. "So," she started giving him a smirk. "We're working together on this assignment." "Yup," Peter answered resisting the urge to add in a little, unfortunately. It wasn't that he didn't want to spend hours looking into her gorgeous eyes or- it was more than he knew they could never agree on anything to save their lives. "Well, don't look so excited," she said sarcastically. "We'll have to find something to agree on," Mj said as if reading his mind. A surprised look must have swept across his face because Mj said, "As I said, you're not hard to read." "Great," Peter thought to himself, "first Mr. Stark and now Mj."

After school, Peter went right home like he had been told to by Mr. Stark, even though it was the last thing he wanted. "After half an hour May called to him telling him Mj was here. "You never said you were coming!" Peter exclaimed. "Oh, must have forgotten to mention it," Mj said slyly. "Well by all means!" Peter began sarcastically. "Come in!" "Thanks," Mj said giving him a fake smile. After an hour of working on the history assignment, Mj looked up from her notebook and set down her pencil. "Why haven't you been out recently?" Mj asked. "Who said I hadn't?" Peter asked. "Television." "What?!" "Yeah. It's on the news. People think Spider-Man has gone missing and the crime rate's gone up again." Peter sighed. He wanted to listen to Mr. Stark, but he couldn't just sit around anymore. It was driving him nuts. "Mr. Stark told me that I couldn't because someone's trying to kill me, supposedly. He locked me in a room for hours!" Mj snorted. "I'd love to see that!" Peter rolled his eyes, not expecting anything else from her. "Do you remember when I first found out you were Spider-Man?" Mj asked on a whim. "Yeah. Why?" "I don't know. I just wouldn't take it back..." Mj trailed off as she stared into Peter's eyes, mindlessly thinking of the day. Peter felt his cheeks flush a little and he set his textbook down, bringing Mj out of her trance. "Sorry," Mj said sitting up. "I should probably go. You need to sleep and it's really late," Mj said glancing at the time on her phone. It was an excuse she made to break the awkward silence. "Um, yeah," Peter agreed awkwardly. Mj smiled and made a mental note of how cute Peter was when he was being awkward. Stop! She thought to herself. It's a bad habit. He doesn't like you and it's never happening. "K. Goodnight!" "Goodnight," Peter said back after realizing he had been staring. Mj left Peter's room and quietly went out the front door, trying not to make a sound because May was sleeping. "Why do I make such a fuss over him!" She complained to herself. Mj really hated teenage drama and crushes, but somehow with Peter, she couldn't help it. Mj was pulled from her thoughts when she heard something and felt a sharp sting in her neck. Her hand flew to her neck to feel a long metal object impaled in it. "Ah!" She screamed in pain before her vision became blurry and everything went black...
