Diary!

He stood me up again. But guess what, diary?! I couldn't care less about the elusive Peter Parker!

I actually planned out my outfit this morning before school so that I could look nice when I went to Aunt May's after drama practice. I was wearing this darling blouse/skirt combo with a black belt cinched in around my waist. I looked totally gorge when I got to Aunt May's house but Peter wasn't even there.

Aunt May told me, "Peter had been so looking forward to meeting you but I don't know what happened! He went to the grocery store to buy me some milk but that was an hour and a half ago."

I smiled, tossing my hand through the air to show that I didn't care. "That's alright, Aunt May. I'd take your company over his any day!"

I'll admit it... I stayed because I was sort of interested in meeting Peter and I thought that maybe if I stayed longer he would show up. His constantly blowing me off should have turned me off but it had the opposite effect! I was even more interested in him... but now, not so much! He's clearly avoiding me! That's not fair. I should be the one avoiding him not the other way around! Someone drop this kid a clue!

An hour into our conversation, we were interrupted by a knock on the door.

Aunt May got up to answer it and as she walked to the door, I crossed my legs then smoothed out the wrinkles from my skirt. I also made sure the trendy retro scarf I wore was still arranged right on my head and not lop-sided.

The door was opened and I heard two girl's voices. They walked in and although disappointed that it wasn't Peter, I smiled up at the blonde and brunette.

"Mary Jane," Aunt May smiled at me then at the girls. "This is Betty Brant," She nodded to the brunette. "And this is Liz Allan!" She nodded to the blonde. "Girls, I'd like you to meet Mary Jane Watson! She just dropped in to visit my nephew!"

They looked at me. I recognized them from Middleton High, although Betty was rumored to have dropped out recently. When they saw me they didn't look too happy. Nevertheless, I smiled up at them and waved. In a cheery sing-song voice I said to them, "Hel-lo, girls!"

I stood up. "Well, Aunt May, it's been fun but I have to go home and start my homework. I'll stop by soon, though. Goodbye, girls." I nodded to them as I walked to the door. "It was nice meeting you both."

I walked outside and who was parked outside in their snazzy Porsche than Flash Thompson! He stared at me with an intensity that made my skin crawl. I smiled at him but his hungry gaze made me start walking a little bit faster down the sidewalk.

Oh, didn't I tell you? I broke up with Flash. He got to be a bore, really. He took it kind of hard at first but it didn't take him long to find Liz. Yeah, the blonde that was just at Aunt May's. Everyone at Middleton High knows that Flash and Peter hate each other. They've even gotten into a fist fight before. Liz must have been the only reason he was there. I wonder why they were there though. Maybe Peter and Betty are dating? Maybe Aunt May doesn't know... That would certainly explain why he was avoiding me. Goodness knows he wasn't avoiding me because of well... because of ME!

I'll have to remember to ask her about Betty next time I come over.

Well, today sucked. Peter Parker sucks! I'm going out to blow some steam with Lisa. Till next time, Diary!
