Spider's poison

Halloween

Halloween... (1 week after previous part)

Peter was much more quiet that day & has barely spoken a word to Mj, Ned, May, or any of his other friends. It was hard, Ned constant talking, May's constant desire to help him, & his crush on Mj. He still had no plan to talk to any of them. But he couldn't avoid them tonight.

"Peter! Peter!", Ned yelled at him from across the lunch table. Peter finally snapped back into focus. Ned spoke once he knew Peter's attention was fully on him, "I convinced Mj to come trick or treating with us".

"That's great Ned", Peter didnt fully acknowledge what Ned said. Until...

"What are you gonna be dressed as", Ned asked? Peter's eyes shot open, realizing he hasnt made time to get a costume. "Oh, you haven't gotten one yet, that's cool. I have some teeth, fake body, & white makeup if you need it".

"Thanks man", Peter said, feeling relieved. Mj sat down a little closer to him today.

"What's up losers", Mj said taking a bite of her lunch. They both shrugged.

They continued to eat their lunch then left to finish off their last to classes.

...

They got released from school, Peter rode home with Ned so they could talk, to Peter's surprise Mj was also going to Ned's for her costume as well.

When they got there Peter returned to being quiet & distant, he was gonna be okay with Ned, but now Mj too. He lay sluggish on the couch scrolling through his phone.

"What are you doing", Mj asked sitting at his side. Peter sat up & showed her his phone. "Cat videos", Mj questioned?

"They cheer me up, a little", Peter quietly spoke, Mj barely heard.

"It's okay", Mj placed an arm around Peter. "I dont want to sound cliche or anything, but it's all gonna be okay in the end". Peter leaned into her somewhat hug & lent his head against her shoulder.

"Are you two gonna keep awe-ing over eachother or do you want to do your makeup now", Ned asked? Mj threw a couch pillow at him.

"We're not awe-ing, I'm just being a good friend", Mj threw another couch pillow at him. She stuck her tongue out at Ned, Ned returned it.

While Ned & Mj were playfully arguing, Peter was trying to keep his heart from racing, his hands dry, & his chest from rabidly rising & falling.

"You look like you are having a heart attack, you good Pete", Ned asked? Mj turned to look at Peter, Ned smiled knowingly at Peter. Peter's face reddened a little when MJ's gave fell apon him, proving Ned right. "Peter let's go put on your makeup", Ned really mean, "let's go talk about your cruch on Mj" but he was being suddle.

Nee led Peter to the bathroom, well technically dragged him to the bathroom. "Dude! why didnt you tell me you li. . .", Peter covered Ned's mouth before he could finish yelling the rest of the sentence?! Peter pressed his finger to his lip.

"Because I didnt want anyone finding out that I like like Mj", Peter said sitting on the counters ledge.

"I wouldnt have told anyone", Ned defended himself.

"You almost just screamed it at the top of your lungs", Peter said. "Pluse if May knows I like her, no more late nights, sleep overs, nothing, I'll get no time with her".
