Fight Or Flight | Peter Parker & MJ

Go.

               I hung out with Eddie for two hours but... I don't know, it just felt weird. He was kinda clingy and a bit possessive which made me uncomfortable. I wasn't sure what to think of it... I told Eddie I'm going to go sleepover with Olivia and Dani, which was true. Us three texted about it but I thought I was gonna be with Eddie all day. Now, though, leaving early felt better.

               I knocked on Olivia and Dani's door, opening to see a large white open space with light hardwood, it was more of a studio than an apartment. With a large gray couch in the center and a TV in front on a light wood table that held many movies. There was a kitchen to the side that was pretty big, there was also a spiral metal staircase to the upstairs. Olivia led me up the stairs and it was just a bedroom, pretty small compared to downstairs but a good size for a bedroom. It was very hippy with candles and rugs and tapestries everywhere, even a hammock hung from the tall ceiling. We all three sat on the floor in a triangle as Dani did Olivia's nails. Dani wore a black tank top and polka dot shorts along with her hair having two short french braids.  Olivia wore a white shirt and yellow plaid pants with her bleach blonde hair up in a messy bun. Dani was very delicate as she painted Olvia's fingernails a baby blue. It looked like the sky when there were no clouds to be seen.

               "I'm telling you, I can't believe Coney Island—I mean-you survived!" Dani said as she stayed concentrated on Olivia's nails.

               "Were you scared?" Olivia asked, looking at me and Dani muttered, "Don't move..."

               "Well, yeah, who wouldn't be? It's scary." I say with a shrug, taking a bite of the white cheddar cheezit grooves that we all been eating.

               "The old Webhead saved you, huh. What's that, twice now?" Dani asks, glancing at me. I could only laugh, "Yup."

               "I really want to get a picture with him..." Olivia said, fangirling slightly. Dani made a face at her, "What?? I saw on Instagram a few people got a selfie with him!" Olivia said defensively. Then she paused and said lightly: "He's so cool."

               I hold back a snort.

               Honestly, it was funny hearing this conversation with the perspective I now have. Hearing about Peter's alter ego was entertaining, he really had a different confidence to him as the web-slinger. "Yeah, cool." I say.

               Dani glances at me and smiles, "What are you thinking about?"

              "What? Nothing." I say, confused.

              "MJ, you literally were smiling and not saying anything, you don't do that." Dani said, squinting her eyes questionably.

               Wait. I was smiling?

               Olivia gasped, "Are you in looooooovvvvveee?!"

              "What! No-I mean, yeah." I say, practically forgetting I was in a relationship with Eddie.

               Dani finishes Olivia's pinky and turns to me while Olivia starts blowing on her nails. "MJ... I'm confronting you." Dani starts, in a half joking attitude.

               "What?"

               "Can we please be honest right now? You don't like him."

               "Who?"

               "Eddie."

               Olivia's attention was immediately pulled away from her nails and turned to me. I felt a sinking feeling in my chest, as if I've been caught.
