The period before Lunch had surprisingly went by fairly quick. Which usually didn't but you guessed that the teacher just didn't want to pass out any work so instead he just gave us free time. You were able to take that time for granted by drawing some more in your sketchbook. This time you were adding on to a previous sketch of yours which ended up being a bit more detailed than the others.

On your way to the cafe, you flipped your backpack to the front of you so you could place your book inside. As you were now at the cafeteria doors and still trying to place your book away, two girls by the name of Gwen and Brooke pushed into you with their shoulders. Gwen being on your right side and Brooke being on your left. "Maybe you should watch where you're going freak." Gwen stated and Brooke followed it by saying "Yeah and stay out of our way bitch."

They're so rude to me but then you see Gwen being nice to everyone else. Like what the hell did I ever to to her?? Looking around, you couldn't find your book. Oh no.. no no no no no... come on.. please.. Just when you spotted it not too far away from you, someone picked it up. Shit! No! My book! It was open up to one of the drawings you were working on before. (Below.)

It was a partly finished drawing of C3PO from Star Wars

It was a partly finished drawing of C3PO from Star Wars. "No way.." the person said and when you looked up to see who grabbed your book, you couldn't believe it. It was your crush Peter Parker. "I didn't know you liked Star Wars." He mentioned and you mumbled to yourself really quiet "I didn't think you recognized or noticed me." Peter was looking at the drawing when he heard you mumble

"what was that?" He asked and your gaze quickly went from the floor to him. Your cheeks were turning light pink. "Oh Uh.. that I um.. I do like S-Star Wars. It's one of the best m-movies.." you managed to stutter out. That's when he turned the page and saw another sketch. (The one below is like a combination.)

"I gotta say, t-these are really good

"I gotta say, t-these are really good. D-do you have anymore?" He asked as he closed your book and lent his hand out to give it back. "I-... Uh.. those are actually um... the only t-two." You responded and took the book from him. Both of your hands gently brushed each other and you swore you could've seen him fluster up. "I-.. Well I should be getting.. um lunch. See you l-later?" He said then asked and you couldn't help but smile. "Y-Yeah. See you." You said.

Mj saw you from far and was already sitting at the lunch table. You were looking around after Peter left until you saw someone waving their hand at you. Mj. Walking over with a small smile on your face, you sat right across from her. "What's the smile?" She asked and you felt your cheeks lightly heat up. "Hm? Oh, uh.. nothing.. just happy to have at least someone to talk to and sit with." You responded and she raised her eyebrow.

"So it doesn't have to do with anything about you having a crush on Mr. Peter Parker over there?" Mj replied pointing to Peter in line. "Oh, I- uh.. maybe?" You finally admitted. "Okay yeah fine. He noticed me and saw my drawings." You also said and she smiled.... again. A few minutes passed and you were now eating the lunch you had packed since there was no way in hell you were going to wait in that long ass line everyday.

Looking up at Mj, you could see her motioning her eyes for you to look at the other side of the table. Placing your (favorite drink) down and raising an eyebrow, you looked over to the other side and saw both Peter and Ned look away. Were they looking at me? No. That's impossible. I'm not "pretty" like they tell me. Or am I? Okay stop. I need to focus. All of this thinking is going to make my head hurt.

Mj lightly tapped on the table and it made you look back at her. "Want to see something?" She asked and you nodded. "Sure." Just then, she pulled out her Sketchbook. Looks like you both had something in common. You both loved to sketch, but her sketches were different than yours. They were more of people than animals compared to your book. (Mj's Below.)

"I really like that Mj

"I really like that Mj. I can't draw people they just end up being a blob." You told her as you saw the sketch she did in her own sketch book. "Thanks (Y/n/n). I took the description of the book I'm reading and drew her. That's what I came up with." She explains and you just nodded with the same smile on your face.

You both had been talking for a while and have noticed that you actually had somethings in common with each other. You both loved to sketch, have a similar taste in music and are both basically loners. She placed her book away and no matter how many times you told her that she was smarter than you, she highly doubted it. The bell rang and it turns out that you both had some classes together. The next one included. "Walk together?" You suggested and she agreed. "Yeah. Come on." Mj mentioned.

What you didn't know was that Peter was in the same class but Ned wasn't. Michelle told you that Ned had calculus but with a different teacher and at the other side of the school which took time to get to. "So do you know if we're doing a project today?" You asked Mj "Don't know. I think so. That's what Mrs. Barnes said." She added then you both took your seats.

"Alright class. Project today." Mrs. Barnes started to say and everyone groaned, but honestly? Who wouldn't? It's English. "This is a partner project and before you could say anything, I'm assigning them." With that said you looked at Mj and frowned. She shrugged but you could tell that she wasn't very fond of it either.

"Let's see here, we'll be doing a project based on people who have had an impact during the past years. It can be anyone up to last year. No further than last year." Mrs. Barnes said and looked at the clipboard on the desk. She couldn't see it that well so she picked it up. "Okay, partners!" She continued on till the last two pairs. "Peter Parker and Michelle Jones. (Y/n) Marx and..."

0.o who did you get paired with? A nerd? A popular? A cool kid? A geek? The possibilities are endless.
