This is the story of Peter Parker, he is the smartest kid known to the world. But after Aunt May passes from cancer what will happen to the young hero?
Michelle walked into school feeling a lot happier than usual. She clutched her book to her chest as she made her way to her locker. She wore Peter's jacket today as she just found it way too comfortable, plus it smelt like vanilla.
As she deposited her books into her locker a hand tapped her shoulder. She jumped slightly and turned to see a very distressed looking Ned Leeds.
"Ned! What the hell is wrong with you?" she asked feeling slightly angry at him for scaring her. Ned shook his head in response.
"Not me...it's Peter," said Ned somewhat angrily himself. Michelle felt a bit of worry trickle through her.
"What's wrong? Is he okay? Is he hurt?" she asked quickly surprising Ned.
"Flash brought up Aunt May and his Uncle Ben outside and now Peter is in homeroom looking depressed, and seeing as you like each other I thought you could help," said Ned in explanation.
Michelle felt her face go bright red, "What do you mean we l-like each other?"
"I saw you guys the way you held each other, yeah I know Peter is clueless and all but I saw through you straight away. Now go cheer him up or something!" said Ned firmly. Michelle just nodded and headed in the direction of homeroom.
When she entered she could hear Flash Thompson insulting the fact that Peter had no family. The class sat in horror while Mr Johnson did nothing. But her eyes found Peter. His head was in his arms on the table and even though she didn't see his face she knew he was crying.
Michelle lost control she approached Flash shaking with anger. Then she slapped him so hard he stumbled backwards.
"FUCK YOU EUGENE! YOU NEVER MAKE FUN OF SOMEONE FOR BEING A FUCKING ORPHAN YOU PUNK ASS BITCH!" screamed Michelle.
Flash had a red hand print across his cheek and he had watery eyes. But he glared angrily at Michelle. Mr Johnson decided that it was an appropriate time to leave the room and he slammed the door behind him making Peter look up.
His eyes were red and puffy and tears soaked his cheeks. Everyone in the class noticed this and began shouting insults at Flash.
Flash couldn't take it anymore and out of anger made his biggest mistake yet. He punched Cindy Moon. Before anyone could react Ned yelled, "Ah hell no!" and punched Flash in the face sending him to the ground. Michelle ran to comfort Cindy as did the rest of the class. But Peter noticed his best friend struggling with Flash. Flash seemed to be winning.
Peter stood up and walked over to Flash and pinched the nerve on his neck sending him crashing to the ground before sitting back down. Nobody saw what happened as they were to busy comforting Cindy but when they turned and saw Flash unconscious and Ned standing over him they immediately started congratulating Ned on his fight.
Cindy walked over to him and to everyone's surprise kissed him, not on the cheek but full on the mouth.
Peter smirked at his friend. Michelle sat down next to him.
"Nice move loser," she whispered to him quietly. He looked a little shaken buy was saved by the bell and ran off to first period. Everyone left homeroom leaving Flash drooling on the floor.
⌚ Time Skip ⌚
Peter sat in the cafeteria on his own as Ned and Cindy were hanging out somewhere else. He let his mind wander and soon it came back to May. All he could think about was all the time he lost with her. The time he should have spent with her instead of being Spider-Man. It hurt to think about it. That's why he never put the suit on after her passing. He blamed Spider-Man for not spending enough time with his Aunt May.
He didn't realise that he was angry or that the fork he was holding in his hand was bending due to the strength in which he was holding it.
"Hey loser, why so pissed," said a familiar voice. Peter looked up at her and snapped back, "Why so nosy?" and stroked out of the cafeteria making a few people look at him with weird looks.
Michelle felt a little hurt. But she knew he was still healing and left him alone. Maybe she'll just check on him after school and see if he was alright.
The rest of the school day flew by for Michelle and when she finally caught up with Peter he was already outside.
"PETER WAIT!" she called out to him. He turned and looked at her with his big doe eyes. They were full of sadness and all she wanted to do wad hug him and never let go. But she refrained from doing so.
"Sorry about earlier MJ, I was feeling a little depressed. I shouldn't have snapped at you like that," said Peter looking down at his shoes feeling sad.
Michelle just smiled, "I know you're not feeling to good, with all the crap going on lately and with Flash...how about we hangout. Just you and me. We could go to the mall?" asked Michelle quietly. Peter nodded and smiled widely.
They didn't waste any time in heading towards the mall. Michelle listened to Peter ramble on about the most random things. From Star Wars, to Footloose, to Michael Jackson, to Pandas? she just found him hilarious to be around. He made her feel happy.
She felt a feeling of butterflies in her stomach as she looked at him. The way his hair moved in the slight breeze. His smile made her feel like she was weak at the knees. He was adorable like a puppy.
They made their way into the mall and immediately headed straight to the food court. Michelle got some food while she noticed that Peter had a massive tray of food. How the hell would he eat all that!? But within minutes it was completely devoured by Peter's insatiable appetite.
They made their way around some stores and eventually made it to the arcade. Peter took his gaming very seriously and soon he was in an intense gaming session of Pac-Man. When he won he whooped and threw his hands into the air in triumph. To which he celebrated with a selfie along side Michelle.

She laughed as he showed her the photo and she made sure that he posted it on Instagram. Which he did in a heart beat with the caption BFF at the arcade! Michelle couldn't keep the smile off of her face.
She was getting closer to Peter, and hopefully to a relationship.
