Michelle Jones sat in her AP Language class on February 14, reading one of her favorite books, 'On Love'. She supposed it was appropriate for the holiday occurring today. She even wore a little splash of color today. She wore ripped blue jeans, a striped button-down, and a pink bandanna as a headband. She wore her glasses, though they were slipping down her nose as she concentrated on her book.

The clock rang 7:30, and the teacher, Miss Strunk, stood up.

"Alright class, I've decided to let you guys have a studying day for your upcoming test! You may listen to music through headphones, or form study groups. Whatever helps you! Have fun!" The young woman said and then sat back at her desk.

MJ shrugged and pulled out her notebook filled to the brim with handouts and notes and dogeared pages. She loved AP Lang. She pulled out her phone and dug through her bag to find her Air Pods (oooo). She plugged them in, and her hair covered them quickly. She played songs form her personal playlist. Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Billy Joel, Cyndi Lauper, Pat Benatar, Toto, AC/DC, a little bit of Lil Nas X, the works. 

She heard the door open, and books slam down at the desk behind her, and saw Peter Parker, she almost blushed. She had a really huge crush on him for such a long time. MJ took out one Air Pod.

"Hey, Parker. Who's that for?" she asked in her bored tone, gesturing to the pink envelope and small box of chocolates.

"Oh, hi MJ. I didn't think you were the type for Valentine's." Peter said, gesturing toward her bandanna, completely ignoring her question. MJ shrugged and put her earbud back in, and suddenly thought she could have at least gotten a card for Cindy Moon, her best friend and ex-girlfriend. MJ was glad they were able to be friends. Then it struck her a card for Peter could have worked too. But of course, it was too late for that now.

MJ just studied for a while, listening to music.

"Oops, I did it again. I played with your heart. Got lost in the game." Michelle mouthed along to the song.

"I'm not that innocent." Cindy said, a little too loudly, next to her. Michelle looked up to see her friend plopped down in the chair next to her. That chair was always empty because nobody really wanted to sit by her.

"Wassup? Did you do anything for Gwen?" MJ asked, closing her notebook.

"Oh yeah! We're going to Stonewall tonight! I can't wait!" Cindy said, clasping her hands together.

"Wow, I mean! Congratulations. You better find me one of those water bottle stickers, where it's the hand but with the flag!" MJ ordered, teasing, her friend.

"Naturally."

MJ noticed class was about to be over, apparently her playlist could make 75 minutes go by quickly. She started packing up her stuff, and soon kicked backward to stand up. She pushed her chair in, and let her long legs carry her to her locker. She quickly grabbed the stuff she needed to BioGeoChem. She continued walking, listening to music. She heard a panting behind her.

"Hey, wait up!" Peter Parker called. MJ turned off her music and placed her Air Pods in their case and into her pocket.

"I have a-uh- question for you." he said nervously, and clutched the card and chocolates. MJ felt her heart in her throat. Did Peter really feel the same way toward her?

"So, I wanna give these to Liz, and I had a whole plan to take her to Hard Rock tonight...and.. I don't know how to give this to her." he splurted.

MJ was so disappointed at that moment, she thought she could hear the cracking of her heart. She felt her heart dropping into her feet. Her disappointment must have showed on her face.
