"Let's Just Start Over"

I set my bag down, and take a seat sighing. Advanced chemistry was something I looked forward to, but not today. As Peter takes a seat next to me he eyes me warily. I just continue reading my book.

"Did I do something wrong," he asks in a quiet voice as the class starts. I shrug getting out a pen to write my notes down with. "Okay class the prjects are due at the end of the week, and I'm going to give you thirty minutes to work on them today." The teacher explains. I then grab the rolled up poster out of my backpack, and lay it on the desk.

We end up finishing the project, and turn it in.  Then I decide to work on some of my Geometry homework. "Please tell me what I did. So that I can make it better." I go to open my mouth before im interrupted, "Ms.Vascova and Mr.Parker if you can not keep quiet you will be separated." I mentally thank the teacher because peter doesn't try to say anything else the rest of the class period.

Three minutes before the bell rings; I pack my stuff up, so that I can make a run for the door. The sound of the bell ringing causes kids to get up, and start packing their things. I pull my bag on my shoulders, and start to rush out of the cold room into a crowded hallway.

I start to fast walk, but peter is faster. He runs to catch up with me, and grabs ahold of my elbow. He does it to tightly, and it throws me into a memory I've tried with every fiber in my body to forget.

*Flashback*
"Come back here." A rough voice called out as I ran out of the cell. My legs were to short, and I was too slow for the older man. He grabbed ahold of my elbow, and pulled. I slammed into him. He grabbed my shoulders, and pushed me down. I fell hard, the cold concrete of the basement beneath my cheek. "You thought you could escape" he states chuckling evilly. "I told you that you would never leave, as long as Im alive."

I try to crawl away, and he kicks me. I cough up blood, and spit. Grinding my teeth from the pain. He delivers another kick, and I feel something break. I let out a scream of pain, and call out to someone who won't come, and help me. "You're going to die here." He says bringing his boot down, and kicking me in the head.

I Flinch, and he lets go. "Come on lia please tell me. I have to fix it." I close my eyes, and he pleas again,"please," he whispers sounding torn. I open my eyes, and look at him. "You ditched me, peter. I went to the party for you, and you left me." I say releasing myself from his hold. "So excuse me for feeling hurt. I've felt abandoned all my life, and when someone I thought was my friend left me..." I don't finish ,but I know he understands.

"Something came up. I had to leave." He says. I back away from him, and shake my head. "Something always comes up, doesn't it?" I turn away, and he calls my name. "Please leave me alone right now. I don't really want to be pestered okay. I think better by myself." With that he stops pursuing me, and I walk out of the schools doors.

I place my tray down on the table next to ned,  and I sit my chin resting on my hand. "Okay peter. Seriously you've been moping around for too long. Just go apologize. " peter looks up at ned furrowing his eyebrows in fake confusion. "I don't know what you're talking about." Ned scoffs, "yeah right if you want to pretend that her absence doesn't bother you then your a liar. You obviously feel something for this girl if your moping around after only knowing her for a few weeks."

"We're just friends ned. I like liz, you know that." Peter says running a hand through his hair. His heart fluttering in his chest at the thought of her, telling him something else. He chooses to ignore it, and ned rolls his eyes, "whatever okay, but whatever you have to do to make her not be mad at you go do it," he says gesturing towards the library. I nod getting up, and gulp. I wipe my hands on my jeans, and make my way towards the girl that means more to me than I'm willing to admit.

I look up from my book, and brush my wispy bangs from my eyes. When my eyes land on the person that had caused my eyes to travel off the pages of the captivating story I had been trapped in. Of course I want to be friends with him, and I've gotten over what happened; he just needs to apologize.

"Look I'm really sorry. Can we just start over, and be friends." I tap my chin, and act like im thinking about it. When I break out in a smile, and he does too. "Sure," I say before I look down at my book.

I brush my bangs out of my eyes, and push my glasses onto my nose. The noise that had piqued my intrest is a boy. A boy with wide brown eyes stares into my grey-blue ones.

He smiles at me awkwardly composing himself. "Sor-soryy," he pauses picking at his nails, almost as if he's debating with himself.

"Hi um, im um peter. Peter Parker. Would you um like to come eat lunch with me." "Im natalie, Natalie Vascova, and I would be honored to eat lunch with you." I laugh.

We shake hands and he laughs, "did we really just do that like we didn't know eachother?" I laugh along with him. "Yup."

"Grab your stuff, and we can go finish in the cafeteria, and you should sit with me from now on stop eating in here alone." I nod smiling feeling all warm inside. Never in a million years did I think that I would be talking like this with peter parker.

"You got it parker." I smile. He looks at me whimsically, "I like that." "Like what?" I ask cocking an eyebrow. "I like it when you call me by my last name."
