michelle lay in bed. she couldn't sleep. It had been nearly two months since the start of the summer holidays. All she'd done was add to her book collection and hung out with friends from school, now that she finally had some.
There was a knock at her window. her head turned and her hair flew in front of her face.
"m-mj? is this the right house?"
she pulled the covers off of herself and made my way to the window. she opened the latch.
"p-peter?"
michelle pulled the window open. peter climbed in through the window, his curly hair fell on his forehead.
they shared a look and then went in for a hug.
"i really missed you peter." mj said, burying her face into him.
"i really missed you too."
they separated after a while and mj sat on her bed.
"y-you can sit here if you want." she gave and awkward smile.
peter came and sat next to her.
"i-i'm really sorry mj."
"wha- why are you sorry?"
mj tilted her head and peter looked up from the floor.
"i really wanted to spend this summer with you. and i- i've been away for like two months!"
"it's ok, peter, really." mj took peters hand.
mj looked down, but quickly looked up as peter had planted a kiss on her cheek.
they both went red.
they heard a door open.
"uh- i y-you should probably go."
"oh, uh you're right sorry i- i'll leave."
peter looked disappointed and ashamed.
"n-no! i didn't mean that, it's just my moms boyfriends son just got home, and it would be kinda weird if he walked in on me with uh- spider-man." she gestured to his suit.
"i'll see you at school tomorrow?" peter asked.
"yeah. th-thanks for coming over."
peter climbed out of the window and swung home.

mj turned around to see billy, her moms boyfriends son standing by her door. since her moms boyfriend moved in at the beginning of the summer, billy had been bothering her. but only recently had it been getting abit much.
it started with rude comments, and had escalated quickly.
"mj."
"don't."
"don't what honey?"
"don't call me mj."
"that's what your friends call you."
"you're not my friend."
"i'm your brother."
"for the last time, you are not my brother!" mj was getting annoyed.
billy moved fast from the door frame and stood in front of her.
mj started speaking "i'm not afraid of y-"
billy raised his hand and struck her cheek.
she fell to the ground.
"what do you say mj."
michelle stayed silent.
"I SAID WHAT DO YOU SAY?"
"i'm sorry."
"thats what i thought."
billy left the room and mj returned to her bed, holding her cheek.

peter woke up the next morning bright and ready for senior year.
"Bye May, love you!"
"Bye sweetie have a good day ok?"
"I will!"

Peter raced down the streets so he didn't miss his train on the first day back of school.
He hopped on and sat down next to Flash.
"Penis parker back at it again!"
Peter just put his earphones in a scrolled through instagram, pretending not to hear flash.

The train stopped at the station and a rush of students exited.
Peter walked to his locker only to be greeted by Ned.
"Hey dude."
"Hey Ned."
"I've finally got a break Ned! From all the superhero stuff and all."
"That's great man!"
The bell rang. And did so seven more times before the end of the day. Time for decathlon.
"Hey guys, so for this year we have a whole new course to learn, and we have a new member! Meet Jessie, she's a Junior." MJ said.
"Hi!" Everybody greeted.
Decathlon ran smoothly and finished at 15:30.
Everybody got up to leave, but Peter went MJ, who was still clearing up.
"MJ?"
"yeah Peter?"
"Are you ok? You just don't really seem to be yourself." Peter paused. "Did i say anything?"
"what? no! i'm just, err a bit overwhelmed with senior year, that's all."
"Oh ok. Well do you wanna maybe grab a coffee or something? It's fine if you don't"
"Tomorrow maybe? sorry i'm just a bit busy today."
"Tomorrow's great. Bye MJ.
"Bye Peter."
They awkwardly waved goodbye and went separate ways.
