We were going to go to the city-wide Carnival tonight, but now we get to go to The Opera. Everyone else was disappointed, but I preferred this. I don't like the big crowds, I love the theater.
Luckily, Mr. Harrington made us all pack a nice outfit so I'm wearing this
(Sorry if you don't like it)
I threw on a black denim jacket and MJ came out of the bathroom
"Damn girl! Who are you trying to impress?" She says handing me the lip balm she stole
I chuckle "My mom made me bring it, but now I'm kinda thanking her because I like it"
She smirks "I like it, I'm sure Peter will too"
I playfully smack her arm and then she slings her arm over my shoulders
"I think tonight is gonna go well for you"
We made our way up to the theater and I felt a pair of eyes on me. I turn around only to trip on my dumb two feet. I was prepared to face the plant but instead strong hands wrapped around my waist and lifted me.
I looked at my savior and no other than Peter Flipping Parker was above me. God this boy is gonna be the death of me.
I stood back up stuttering "Th-thanks"
"No problem Y/N"
I was about to walk back with the group when Peter grabbed my hand
"Wait!" He says "One, you look pretty"
I didn't even hide my blush "Thank you, Peter"
"And two, I-Uh- found this necklace in the shop yesterday and it reminded me of that story you told me on the plane so I got it for you"
He pulls out a little metal tin and hands it to me. I quirked a brow at him and I was about to open it up when Mr. Harrington yelled "L/N, Parker let's keep moving!"
Peter nods to me and then runs to catch up with the group
I start walking but open up the tin to see a wolf pendant with the bluest eyes I've ever seen. It looked just like the wolf I saw in the woods that day. I smile at the thought that Peter remembered that story. I hook the chain around my neck and touch the pendant as I walk back to the group.

When we got to the opera everyone sat down in the first few rows. MJ was still pestering me about the necklace but I wouldn't budge. Peter, Ned, and Betty come up behind us
"Hey Guys," Betty says, clasped to Ned's arm "Oh, Y/N I love your necklace"
"Thank you," I say looking at Peter "I like it too"
Peter grins and looks at the ground sheepishly. Ned and Betty go to their seats and MJ looks at me and Peter
"Um, I'm gonna go sit by those guys. See you in a bit?" She says winking at me. I glare at her and bite my inner cheek to keep from smiling too much
I look at Peter and smile, new confidence washing over me "I didn't think you would remember my story"
"Well you were wrong," he says smiling at me, "The man at the shop told me the whole story behind it, I'll tell it to you sometime"
My smile grows larger "I would love that"
Peter's cheeks flush "He also said that the necklace symbolizes Grace, Bravery, Intelligence, and Beauty, so I thought it was perfect for you"
My cheeks are beginning to hurt from how large my grin is.
"Hey, you um-Wanna sit next together?" I ask pointing to the rest of our class
"Y-You wanna sit with me?" He stutters but then looks down like he's focusing on something else and mumbles "No"
"You don't wanna sit together?" My confidence now shaking
His eyes widen "No! I mean- yes um, I'll be right there"
I nod and go take my seat next to MJ as Brad is still trying to get her to notice him. God will this dude ease up!
I wait for Peter in my seat until Ned gets a text and says Peter isn't feeling too good. I furrow my brows. He wouldn't just ditch us like that he seemed fine before...
I nudge MJ's shoulder "Come on, let's go find Peter"
She agrees not wanting to spend another minute at the opera
What we didn't know is that Betty and Ned were right behind us and were going to be met with gruesome circumstances
~
MJ and I made our way to the center of the carnival that people were running from. Ned and Betty were stuck on the Ferris wheel which had me freaking out. There was a guy who looked kind of like Spiderman but he had a different suit. I hear him yelling and it's quite familiar...
"HOLY SHIT IS THAT PETER" I yell, MJ clamps a hand over my mouth and hides us behind a wall as a fire monster looks our way
"Pipe down L/N!" She hisses "I don't know if it's Peter but we are going to find out tonight with this"
She holds out what looks like a projector maybe?
"Let's get out of here," she says grabbing my hand
I stop her "What about Ned and Betty?"
"If we're right, and I'm 67% sure we are, Peter will save them. And besides, what can we do?" She says looking hastily at the Ferris wheel
I take one last look at my friends and then me and MJ rush back into the night so we can look at this thing back at the hotel
Parker, I swear...
