Hey guys! I'm so sorry for not posting in like forever! I had computer issues along with exams and final assignments! I was also really busy during the holidays! Anyway, enjoy chapter 3! :)
Later that late afternoon, Peter told Michelle that he would spend the rest of the day finishing up his rounds and later he promised Ned that he would build his new Lego death star. Michelle lets a small chuckle, "They are such losers, but I'm dating one." She walks down the sidewalk and starts thinking about what had happened to her last night and this morning. Did she really sleep with Peter Parker? The one boy who she always thought was a loser but still felt tiny attracted to, that Peter Parker? She feels as though she can't keep it bottled up inside. She needs to tell someone, and she needs to tell them fast. She stops and leans her head against the wall of a building. She looks up at the sky and digs deep into her thoughts and who she can talk to. Her uncle James is the first eliminated, there's no way she can tell him about this. He would want to hunt Peter down and kill him. Right now, he thinks that she spent the night in another bedroom because it was too risky for her to walk home late at night. Plus, she really needs a girl to talk to about this. She lets out a sigh, wishing she had more friends to talk to about this. She takes out her phone and scrolls through her contacts, hoping to find at least one person she can talk to. She suddenly stops scrolling when one name catches her attention, Betty Brant. She forgot that they exchanged numbers after they became partners for an assignment. She thinks to herself, "Should I do it? Should I call Betty and ask to talk to her about my night with Peter?" Her and Betty aren't even that close, yeah, they are friendly with each other, but they aren't best friends or anything. Michelle figures that this could be a good chance for them to become better friends. She takes a deep breath and click on the phone icon. She places the phone against her ear, her hand shakes slightly as she hears every single ring. She nearly hangs up when she finally hears Betty's sweet voice, "Hello?"
"Umm… hey Betty, it's MJ aka Michelle Jones." Michelle answers.
"Oh, hi MJ! How's the first official day of summer treating you?" Betty asks, cheerfully.
"It's alright, umm listen…. I kind of did something last night that I really need to talk to someone about, specifically a girl. I know, we aren't that close of friends, but I was wondering-
"Yeah sure! You can talk to me! What's up?" Betty interrupts.
"Well umm… I don't think this is something we can discuss over the phone. Do you think we can meet in person and talk privately?" Michelle feels a sense of relief in her stomach.
"Of course, I don't really have any plans the rest of the day. You can come over to my place or I can come to yours, if you want." Betty offers.
"I think your place would be better, can you give your address?"
"Sure, I'll text it to you."
"Thanks, I'll come over in a few minutes."
"Cool, see you then!" Betty says.
"Yup see you." Michelle replies and hangs up.
"Hey Karen, any crimes or danger?" Peter asks as he sits on top of a building.
"There are four group of college age guys messing around with someone's car on 54th street." Karen answers.
"Well then, let's pay them a little visit." He places his mask on and starts swinging across buildings."
As he reaches 54th street, he sees the four guys throwing rocks at the back of someone's black SUV car, causing the windows to break. One guy grabs a stick and starts smashing the top of the car, leaving huge dents.
Peter clears his throat, "Don't think you guys should be doing that!"
The guys turn around and try to run but Peter shoots a web at them and pull them back, causing them to fall backwards. They all pick themselves up immediately and run towards Peter; one guy throws a punch but Peter blocks it and pushes him back. Another guy comes from behind and tries to throw a kick, again he grabs him from behind and throws him to the ground. "Peter, should I activate insta kill?" "Karen, please stop with the insta kill!" He yells as the third guy comes with a stick, but Peter shoots a web at it and grabs it away from the guy. The guy tries to throw a punch, but Peter blocks it and uses his knee to push him to the ground. Finally, the forth guy comes from behind with a rock and throws it at Peter; however, he turns around and catches it. He pushes the guy to the ground and grabs him and the other guys. He ties them to a lamppost with his web and leaves a note, "Caught these four guys smashing someone's car. From your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man!"
"Wait, so you and Peter really did it last night?!" Betty asks as she hands Michelle a glass of water and takes a seat on her bed next to Michelle.
"Yeah kind of." Michelle looks at the ground and smiles as her face turns red.
"Wow, I can't believe this. Michelle Jones and Peter Parker, hooking up."
"I'm not going to lie, I still can't believe it myself."
"The fact that you both were the shy outsiders, makes this really interesting." Betty comments.
"Yeah, I get that." They both share a small laugh as Michelle takes a sip of her water.
"But wait, haven't you guys only been going out for only like three months?" Betty scrunches her eyebrows.
"Four. Why?"
"I'm not trying to judge you or anything, but seems too soon, for me at least." Betty places her phone next to hers.
"Oh no, I completely understand. I also felt that it might have been too soon, but there was just something inside of me that was telling them that I was ready." She takes another sip of her water.
"Well I guess when it's right, it's right." They both laugh.
"Yeah, Peter told me that he thought about it two months after we got together.
"He must really love you." Betty admits.
"Yeah, and I really love him." Michelle again looks at the ground with her face red.
"Aww, I'm not going to lie, you guys are like the cutest couple I ever saw." Betty smiles.
"Thanks." Michelle smiles back.
"So, anything else you want to talk about?"
"How are you and Ned doing? Have you guys done it yet?"
"Oh no, no, no, no. Even if I really do love him, I never move that quickly with anyone. We have to be dating for at least a year before that happens." Betty answers with her face now turning red.
"Wait a minute, did you just say that you love Ned?" Michelle questions.
"Oh, well I guess I did." Betty smiles.
"Aww, have you told him yet?"
"No, I'm too worried. I don't want to scare him off." Betty smile soon fades to sadness.
"Are you kidding me? You won't scare him off, he loves you. I can see it in his eyes, he loves you Betty." Michelle reassures.
"I know but still, I've never been in love before. When do I say it? How do I say it? Do I just say, I love you?" Betty covers her face.
"Hey, listen to me, just listen to your heart. It will tell you what to do and how to do it. That's how I got the courage to tell Peter that I love him."
"True, thanks MJ. You and I should really spend more time together. You're actually cool and easy to talk to." Betty grins.
"Yup, same with you. Thanks again for letting me share one of my super personal events, oh and please don't tell anyone."
"Of course, and don't worry your secret is safe with me." Betty smiles and opens her arms out.
Michelle gives her an awkward smile and is very hesitant; however, she decides to accept the hug and wraps her arms around her neck.
"Well, I should probably head back to my place before my uncle starts to worry." Michelle says as she stands up from the bed.
"Okay but before you go, did you hear about Flash?"
"No, what is it?"
"His parents are making him stay in counselling for the entire summer. He has to go at least twice a week." Betty lets out a huge smile.
"Seriously! Holy crap!" They both share a good laugh.
"You know MJ, you really are so much fun to hang with, want to go to the mall this weekend?"
"Meh, I'm not really fond of shopping."
"Judging by how you dressed in school, I can see that. Which is why I'm insisting we go to the mall and get new clothes. You know, for a whole new look.
"Oh no, trust me Betty, already went through that once, no way am I doing that again." MJ protests while looking the other way.
"You don't have to completely change your look, just changing your fashion senses a little bit. Trust me, guys love that. Come on, just once." Betty persuases while placing her hand on her shoulder.
Feeling like Betty won't let this go, she figures that buying a few new outfits with an experts help wouldn't hurt.
She sighs, "Alright. Saturday at noon."
"Yay! I'll text you more of the details about it later."
"Okay, see you later."
"Yup, see you."
Michelle exits.
Thought I would do more with Michelle and Betty's friendship! Hope everyone had a happy new year! Remember to Review :)
