The Spider-man << Marvel Cinimatic Universe Fanfiction>>

Crushed

"So, what do you guys think about a night at my place tomorrow. It's the weekend and I know for a fact that you aren't busy, so what do you say?" I placed my elbows on the table, looking the three in the eye and considering what excuses they would come up with.

"Though that hurt my feelings, I am actually free tomorrow night, so yeah." Ned said nodding at the others knowing their response would be similar.

"I mean, I'll have to ask May, but there was absolutely nothing that I had to do this weekend. Why not?" MJ shrugged, nodding with her mouth full of today's school lunch. She slung out a thumbs up at the same time. 

Peter snorted, glancing over at my tray of mostly uneaten food. "You gonna-" 

"Peter you eat my lunch every day, just take it." I laughed, passing the tray over to him. He began to stuff his face with my enchilada as I began to laugh. The sauce was all over his face and he didn't seem to care.

"You know it's not your job to feed his raging appetite." MJ said, elbowing me in the side in a playful manner.

"Yeah, I've just got a small stomach. Besides, it would just go to waste anyway." He continued to knaw away at my lunch as I sat there with my stomach growling. I coughed a couple of times to gather their attention, "so is that a yes? Night in with the Maddex?" I asked their collective ears. 

"Yeah, sounds good." MJ stated, cleaning off her tray onto Peter's. I laughed a little and nodded. 

"Okay, six thirty tomorrow afternoon. My moms gonna be at work till Sunday evening so no parent supervision." 

"Aw sweet!" Ned practically cheered, pumping his fists up and down. "Can you say freedom?" He whooped, waving his arms overhead. Peter cleared his plate, stacking up all of our trays and walking them over to the trash. I watched him skip across the room in excitement. He was so cute when he was happy. "And not to mention, romance?" 

My face went bright red, I immediately reaching across the table and smacking Ned across the back of his head for the statement. "Shut it would you?" I mumbled, checking to make sure peter was taking his time. He seemed to have gotten caught up in a conversation with one of the cafeteria staff members so we were safe for a while.

"But it's so obvious! And there is NO way he doesn't like you back, I mean, look at yourself. You're smoking hot!" I scoffed, wrapping an arm around myself.

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder my friend. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go." I swiped up my bag and placed it back up on my shoulders, tucking a few curls that had lost their way from my ponytail tail behind my ear and turning away.

"See you tomorrow!" I waved goodbye, heading down the hall to the bathrooms. He came out of nowhere.

"Where you think you're going Maddex?" He snarled. Flash held my shirt in a tight fist. I dared not fight back and risk doing serious damage. "I saw you skipped lunch again today. Good call, you need it." He patted my stomach, glowering into my eyes as I held in anger and the self hate he preyed upon.

"I-"

"There's nothing for you to say pig. You try to hide it with your cool clothes and dyed hair. But your disgusting. That's why I hit on you,  you know. I felt pity for the new gross fat girl." He shoved me up against a locker and laughed as I attempted to scramble away. "And your crazy if you think he'll ever like you." Tears brimmed at the edges of my eyes. "Parker's a loser, but he'd never stoop so low." 

And with that he pushed me to the ground, smeared at me with his greasy hair, and marched away in his finely quaffed clothes. 

I held myself there for a moment, mind in shock, until I felt the will to pick myself up off the ground and migrate to the bathroom. 

It was empty, no one there to hear me cry, to see me purge over the toilets, to watch me throw away every ounce of hope I had that there was a chance he would like me. I wiped my lips as the bell for next class rang, the toilet swirling away my shame as I stood on unsturdy legs and looked at myself in the mirror.

How could anyone like this?
