Hello. I'm back with my second work for this awesome fandom. Many of you liked the last fiction I wrote( Although I thought it kinda sucked but anyway), so I decided to do another one. This one is a WhiteSpider too. I absolutely love them. Also this is not a sequel to my other story 'Moving On'. Go check it out if you would like to.

I don't write smut or anything too intense. I'm way too young for that :P. So this one is just another fluffy romance in an Alternate universe. Got this idea from a scene in my dream(I know, It's weird right?) and also from the song ' Perfect Strangers', hence the title.

So here is a slight introduction of this Universe. Please note that not all of my stories will be in this universe:

In this AU, Spiderman's identity as Peter Parker is known by everyone. Liz Allan is the hottest and corniest girl at the School, but can be nice sometimes. The whole School falls for her but she has a big crush on the webhead. (Sorry for this as for I really hate Liz, MJ or Gwen, but I respect if you do like them.) Harry Osborn is the same, cool and cute billionaire-son. All the rest of the characters are almost the same with a little exception of Ava. Ava Ayala is an A+ student and a Know-It-All. She is a tomboy and cannot bear anyone insulting her friends. But of course she is a human too and she has a weakness. She had never had a boyfriend or a single crush. One prom night, something happens that forever changes the twosome's fates. Will they get together or go their different ways? NOTE- SPIDEY OR ANY OF THE OTHER CHARACTERS DO NOT WORK WITH OR FOR SHIELD OR ANY OTHER SPY ORGANISATION.

ZWENJOY!

Chapter 1: Great Expectations

Peter Parker or Spiderman as everyone knew him now was a not-too-normal American teenager. A science nerd who got bullied until he revealed his powers to the world and possibly to the supervillians too. Of course his alias made him the most popular guy at the Midtown high or heck, the whole of New York City. Every girl in the neighborhood wanted to go out with him. Even though it was just to show off that they got a shot with a superhero. He had become a very big superhero sensation in the city, a close second to Tony Stark, his idol.

Peter was beyond happy with his latest decision. He was getting all the attention a teenager could dream of. It was like he was rediscovering his new self. A better, cooler and passionate self. Everything around him seemed to be changed. Like he had entered a whole new world of glamour. He found himself giving off autographs, kisses and interviews. Almost like a celebrity.

"But that's not what we're supposed to be, dude. You're inviting trouble", Luke said, in his brotherly tone. Of course not everyone was happy with his decision, and especially his teammates. They thought that it was foolish of him to leave himself and the people close to him, vulnerable to danger.

"Couldn't you just be happy for me?", Peter snapped back, making everyone's eyebrows to raise. This was something that had changed recently. Peter's behavior. He had became more aggressive and self-centric. The popularity had clearly taken toll of him. He had earned a lot of friends in a couple of days that he didn't feel the need to take advice from anyone.

They're just jealous. He thought.

"Look Peter, we're just trying to be realistic. Sure we're happy that everyone loves you now but we just want you to be careful. They're wasn't really a necessary move to do all of this," Danny replied, smiling.

"Yeah thanks Fortune Cookie. Or better No-thanks. Why don't you guys see the brighter side of this?", Peter said, annoyingly.

" What bright side huh? You bragging off yourself with all the fame and stuff? Or because your one time biggest bully is now your newest fan? Or because that sexy Blondie the whole School dies for has an eye on you? Come on Parker!", Sam blew right into his face.

Peter was downright furious right now. He wanted to punch the shorter boy so hard in his mouth. But somehow, he contained himself and walked away without another word. There a group of hotshots stood to welcome him. He disappeared in them not even bothering to look back at his so-called best friends.

"Well that went really well", A known voice startled the group, causing everyone to turn around. It was a certain hazel-haired boy, dressed in a black sweater. Harry Osborn. The son of former Goblin and billionaire entrepreneur, Norman Osborn. His usual cheerful smile was nowhere to be seen but instead replaced with a slight disappointment.

" Umm, sorry to interrupt like that. Peter's really getting hang of this huh?", then he just let out a dry chuckle, trying to hide his despair.

"Did something happen, Harry?", Ava, who was silent all the way along, finally spoke up. She knew how much Harry meant for him and he wouldn't do anything to hurt him. But lately, she couldn't be sure of any one thing related to him. Also she had known Harry for a long time now. She knew that something was bothering him. And she couldn't see any of her friends like this.

"Nothing too serious, Ava. I guess Peter just needs a break. We all do. Trust me, I know Peter. He ain't the way he is behaving right now. It's just the spur of what everything is going around here", he said, smiling. Fake-smiling to be exact.

He wanted to believe that, but did he?

"Yeah, we hope so. Just don't let him get on your nerves. After all, he still our Pete, right?", she said.

"Yeah", everyone agreed in unison and then went to their respective classes. No one was in a mood to study but that was the best probable option to get their minds off these events. The upcoming days were going to be hard for them, even for Peter.

Oh man, oh man, oh man. How did I not think about this? But out of all the people, parker was supposed to be Spiderman? This doesn't make any sense.

Flash wondered as he scratched the back of his head. This guy was the one to be taken aback the most. Who wouldn't? The guy you bullied whole your life just turns out to be the destination of your life. Your hero. Then he tried to remember all of his encounters with Spidey and things suddenly began to become crystal clear. Of course Flash had suspected that the wall-crawler knew a little too much about him and God, he behaved too different around him. Like he had hated him more than anything could be hated. But regardless, he had saved his life a couple of times as that was his 'Duty'.

Suddenly Flash was feeling guilty and weak in the gut. Why had he been so harsh to Peter? They weren't friends, but not exactly enemies either. He just liked to trouble him, because he was weak and could not stand for himself. But little did he knew how strong he was now that Flash himself felt so petty in front of him.

"Should I apologize to him?", he spoke to himself as he saw Peter coming right through the opposite side of the hallway, laughing with a couple of hickchicks around him. Flash approached to him with a sheepish look on his face. Peter's smiled fell as he eyed his former-bully with a disapproving look.

" Hey, Peter. I….I want to talk about something. Umm..can we?", he asked.

"Uhh..sure Flash", he said slightly confused with the unexpected politeness of Flash. They both walked down the end of the corridor and settled in the balcony. Flash was quiet for some time, not sure what to say. So Peter was the first one to speak up,

"What is it, Flash?"

"Parker, I…I just wanted to say sorry for whatever I've done till date. I'm sorry for troubling you all this time…"

Peter was surprised by his comment. Peter wasn't sure if Flash even knew the word 'Sorry'. The Flash standing before him was very different than the Flash he knew. But he also knew how much Flash had idolized Spiderman. Him. He thought he should say something but Flash just kept going.

"…I know that you wouldn't forgive me after everything I've done. But please, I just want to make sure that there is no tension between us anymore", he looked up at Peter with almost deadpan eyes.

If it was any other time, Peter would have just considered it to be another prank, but after seeing the seriousness in his eyes, he had to admit that every bit of thing he said was true. Peter's expression warmed as he placed his hand on his toned shoulder and grinned. What would be more joyous than your freaking bully apologizing to you?

"Hey, It's alright Flash. You know I never really kept anything in mind about us", He said.

" So we cool then?", Flash asked, dumbfounded.

" We're friends already, Genius ", then he let out a small chuckle and added, ". And I can't afford to upset my biggest admirer."

He winked and both of them laughed as if it was the joke of the century.

Then Flash's phone beeped. It was a text from one of his teammates of the School's football team. They were going to do practice for the upcoming Interschool Football Tournament. So he slipped the phone back into his pocket and looked up at Peter.

" Alright, Thanks Pete. I gotta hustle now. You know Net practice and all the stuff. See ya", He said as he almost ran into the crowded corridor, not forgetting to wave at his now-friend.

"Yeah sure. Good Luck", Peter waved back as he smiled to himself.

A smile found a way to his lips as he watched Flash make his way through the crowd. He never considered him to be his enemy. There were just these kinda people that trouble others just because they are fed up with their lonely life. And that wasn't Flash's fault that he was that kind of person. Peter always had a sympathetic side for the taller boy, though he never showed it up. But he was more than happy that the tension between them had been released.

And who says this hasn't brought up anything good?

And then he grinned for the umpteenth time that day. Everything had been going on so well and perfectly fine. With the exception of his encounter with his buddies. He wasn't sure if he could call them that anymore. He sighed heavily.

Seriously they couldn't be a tad bit happy for me? I never expected them to be so difficult.

That was what his mind said. But his heart knew that they were just worried about him. But he wasn't a kid anymore right? He was a Seventeen-year old for god's sake and was done with people treating him like a kid. He thought about talking to them but then just gave it up. They would probably never understand him. Some other time, he thought.

In the Literature class:

The usual buzzing chatter was going on in the class as students assembled after the Lunch Break. Liz Allan, the hottest sensation of Midtown High, was sitting on a bench next to Peter's with a group of sparkly girls surrounding her. Sam, Danny and Luke had Calculus classes so they were in the next classroom.

Ava was quietly reading an English Novel, in the corner of the room. 'Great Expectations'. The legendary work of Charles Dickens which happened to be in syllabus of literature. MJ was right next to her but was busy writing something in her notebook, probably homework. They gave each other smiles and nodded as a sign of gesture and acknowledgement.

Harry was in here too, speaking with the kid next to him. Even though he seemed normal, she knew he wasn't. No one really was.

She was startled by a loud sound of giggles. She peeped up to find that glittery group of girls chuckling. Ava wasn't against them or something but they were so annoying some times. Ava was glad that she had a female best friend like MJ who wasn't all fancy. So she just ignored them and focused back to her original task.

Liz pretended to act normal but it was clearly seen in her sapphire eyesthat she was waiting too eagerly for a certain someone. No mattered how hard she tried to hide it, the whole School knew that she had a little too Big crush on the brunette. The giggles and laughter stopped as soon as he entered the room. He was a literal Prince Charming, or as the girls would call it, The Spider Charming!

Liz was not only fascinated by him being Spiderman. No. Peter had always allured her more than any other Players at the School. He was just different. Differently Attractive, which just made her drool over him since the Middle School. But now he seemed like a Total package of everything that a girl would want. He was Smart, Brains, Funny, Had an Athletic Build and not to mention his perfectly edged jaw line. He was Good-looking, any girl would admit that, except Ava.

She always thought him to be a Knucklehead. Even though a caring Knucklehead.

He had been dressing up more thoughtfully. His wore a Red Tee which aligned linearly with his muscle-line, atop Black Baggy jeans. He looked Sexier with his slightly spiked Brown hair. It wasn't a makeover but still this new look of Peter was admired by everyone, even Sam had mentioned it earlier that morning.

Ava just gave Peter a quick glance and then shut the book as he was followed by Mrs. Tennyson, the Literature teacher.

"Now, settle down everyone", she said in a soft, motherly voice. English teachers tend to be nice naturally.

Everybody took their seats. Peter sat down next to Liz and took out his textbook. Mrs. Tennyson started the class. The class was almost halfway but that didn't matter to Liz at all. Her eyes were all fixed on the beautiful boy beside her. Peter did catch her staring at him but didn't say a thing. Not that he enjoyed that, he just didn't wanted to lose his focus. From the lesson.

Ava just rolled her eyes at how much fond Liz was of the webhead. MJ snickered silently as she nudged Ava in the arm. She gave MJ a confusing look which make her snicker even more louder. Mrs. T heard that and frowned. She called out,

" Miss. Watson, would you please recap the name of the protagonist of our current novel?"

"Uhh..Yeah sure", MJ stood up, thought for a second then the words slipped out of her mouth," Maybe It's…

"Philip Pirrip", Two voices shouted simultaneously. Everyone looked in their direction, including their teacher, stunned.

The two faces, which belonged to Peter and Ava respectively, turned red of embarrassment. Then they looked into each other's contrast eyes for a moment and then quietly sat down. Ava had read the book so many times that it was not possible for her in this lifetime to forget 'Pip'. But Peter reading something this serious was a new thing to her, which was a change she actually quite didn't mind. She freaking loved this book. Then she remembered that she had just practically shouted that out in front of the class.

Peter, too was feeling awkward to have all the eyes on his face.

"Sorry, Mrs. Tennyson", they both said in unison, Again. They looked wide-eyed at each other.

This time it made some of the students to titter and chuckle. A small smile formed on Mrs. T's lips as she said, " It Okay. Sit down."

" Yeah, That's what I wanted to say. It was just under the tip of my nose", MJ smiled broadly as Mrs. T just shaked her head.

"Very good, Miss. Watson. Now class, as Pip and Estella…."

MJ laid back in her chair, let out a relieved sigh and said, " Hey thanks guys. I really didn't knew that one."

Ava looked at her and chuckled nervously. She thought of the strange co-incidence as she watched Peter shift awkwardly in his seat with Liz continuingly staring at him. Maybe she was doing just too much. Maybe she should just let it go and give him some time, Ava thought.

Because she knew that Peter wasn't a womanizer. He never was. Never will be….

It was almost 5:00p.m, which meant that the School was over. And more on, It was Friday, so everybody was planning something for the weekend.

Peter had been invited to over a dozen of parties, but he couldn't go to all of them at once. And furthermore he didn't wanted to break anyone's heart. So he kindly declined all of the invitations and had decided to spend his time lousing on the couch reading some comics.

While walking through the hallway, towards the exit; Liz called out to Peter.

"Hey Peter. It's Liz. Elizabeth Allan from English class", she said cheerfully as a streak of her long, blond hair fell upon her face.

"Yeah, Yeah. I know. So what's up?, he asked looking at the floor.

"Nothing much. I…I just wanted to say that you really did good back there", she spoke enthusiastically.

"Uhh…yes. Actually I'm a big fan of Dickens' works", Peter replied and suddenly that incident flashed in front of him. His mind drifted off to Ava. He fazed as he recollected that awkward moment. That's when Liz's concerned voice broke through his trance.

"Hey, you okay?"

"Oh, I'm good. I just gotta go now. You know the hero has some home duties too. See ya", with that he gave her a sweet smile to which she almost blushed.

"Yeah, okay. So Friends?", she asked sheepishly.

" We're already friends Elizabeth", he said waving and then ran towards the exit.

The way he said 'Elizabeth' just made her fall for him more. It made her feel like a Queen. It felt so right. She blushed again as she watched him descending the stairs. Usually Liz Allan would be a sucker for Saturdays. But now she couldn't wait for Monday. She couldn't wait to see him again….

Peter made his way towards the gate and started walking by the footpath. He stopped to find out his friends on the opposite side of the road. The guys didn't notice him. One part of Peter wanted to go there and apologize for everything stupid he had said that morning, but the other part was afraid that they wouldn't understand why he had to do it. Why he had to reveal his identity even when he didn't want to. Why had he put the lives of his dear ones at stake.

He tried to look away but Ava had caught his eye. He looked into her deep browns as he lipped, ' I'm Sorry', with an apologizing look on his face.

She slowly nodded in understanding, as his lips turned to a slight curve, before walking away. That was the moment that Ava knew that he was still the same Peter she knew. The same Peter underneath all those walls. The same Peter who was her closest friend. Who IS her closest friend….

So that's it for the first chapter. I was originally going to do this as a one-shot but then I decided to write a flesh-out story, as one of my readers requested me to do. So yeah, Peter wouldn't really do such a thing without a very strong reason behind it right? So why did he have to do it? Find out in the next chappie. Also I'm going to do a love triangle. Hope y'all are okay with that ^ ^. So stay tune as much of the drama is gonna unfold in the next chapter. I want to do it as small as possible but don't worry it will be quite long. Can't say much anything right now. Hope you will like this one. Zwaggy out.
