You Think You Know Someone Part 2

I knew what love was in sixth grade

Love had curly brown hair with eyes that matched and a blue Star Wars hoodie. Love would lone me with the hoodie when I forgot my jacket which conveniently happened every day. Love always carried 0.5 lead in his pencil case even though he used 0.7 because he knew I was always running out. 

I thought I knew what love was in sixth grade, but then I learned...

Love started to keep secrets. Love stopped walking me home every day. Love avoided conversations with me at the lunch table or... conversations in general. Love loved someone else... So is Love still love?

Not... So I left Love.

I then learned there could be more than one Love in a lifetime, but this kind of Love was different and unexpected.

New Love interlocked our fingers the moment he saw me and let it linger before he had to let go. New Love did give me warmth when I forgot a jacket but he didn't wear a Star Wars hoodie, He wore a black bomber jacket with his design painted on the back. New Love snuck me out of my apartment at midnight to watch him spray paint at the top of the city where you could see the stars. But the best thing about New Love is he helped me forget about old love.

"You said what?" I ask chocking on the sip of water I was taking

Miles laughed at my expression "I said 'I didn't want you to feel lonely' and she suspended me"

I laugh, dragging him into the coffee shop "I swear you need to get your head checked"

He shrugs, looks around a minute and his eyes land on a table "Gwen and Harry are over there by the window"

I look over to where he is pointing and see our friends indeed by their signature spot by the window. We walk over and take the seat across from the closest to the window yelling "Waddup Losers!"

Gwen looks at me wide-eyed and shushes me while giggling "Keep it down it took us a month to get Mr. Stevens to let us back in here again and we can't risk anything"

I roll my eyes "You throw three carrots at someone and you're a delinquent for life"

Everyone laughs and Harry says "Anywho, Have you guys finished the Physics homework? I haven't and I swear if I have one more missing assignment in Mr. Collin's class he will eat me alive"

"I got it," Miles says pulling it out from his backpack "I Looked a lot of it up so if it's not accurate I'm sorry but at least you'll have a grade"

They keep talking but I tune out and begin to look around the restaurant. It's kinda crazy how much life can change in a year. Dating Miles was nothing like dating Peter, for one it didn't take three years for us to realize we liked each other. After I bumped into him that day we exchanged numbers and were texting for a while when we realized we went to the same school. A few dates later we were together. Miles introduced me to his friends and family and honestly, I'm the happiest I have been in a long time. Until now...

It's not like I don't see him in school, of course, I do there's just almost an unspoken agreement that we don't talk. But here he is in my coffee shop... Walking over to me.

Oh god, Oh god! Maybe he's gonna walk past our table and doesn't even realize I'm here.

Then he taps on my shoulder. Great

"Y/N?" He asks and I put on my most convincing fake smile.

"Oh my gosh, Peter!" I say pulling him into a hug. I'm not going to be the awkward one here

Miles tenses at the name when he realizes who I'm talking to. It's not like I'm not gonna tell the guy why I was in such a huff when we met.

I pull away "How are you?"

He looks unsettled by that simple question "Okay... Can I talk to you outside actually?"

No "Yeah, sure" Stupid

He walks out and Miles looks at me like I'm crazy and says "Are you crazy?"

I chuckle "It's Peter, I think I can handle him" I give him a quick kiss and follow Peter out the door

The moment we are settled into a place where we can talk he says "Me and Mj broke up"

I take a minute to process what he said "That sucks"

To be honest, I don't care, their relationship ripped me apart and I'm glad they got payback. No matter how hard I try I can't feel sorry for him. So for at lack of words say "What happened?"

He sighs "Fights started happening and she got mad about my Spiderman stuff"

I give up "Okay Peter but why are you telling this to me?"

"Well, I just thought-" He started but couldn't even finish his sentence.

"What? Now that you and MJ aren't together our friendship would just magically be fixed" I say, heading back for the door.

"Y/N-" He says reaching for my hand

I shake him off and turn back around, and with my best composure, I say "That's not how this works Peter, you can't just tear me apart and then expect me to come running back. You didn't lose a relationship that day Peter, you lost the trust that comes with it. Now if you'll excuse me I have someone to get back to"

Without another word, I rush back into the cafe and take my seat next to Miles not even waiting for him to grab my hand.

Bewildered, he asks "You alright"

I squeeze his hand "I am now"
