As time passed Gwen by, she was struggling to find her friends a perfect Christmas present. But, she didn't know how. For, she was an expert on Science, not social gatherings. Gwen groans as she was going through almost every department store to find Peter a Christmas gift. Not only it was her mission, it was her duty. Gwen grew tired, as she walked home. Moaning in her bedroom as she does her homework, her phone rings.
"Hello?"
"Hey, Stacy."
"Peter...! How are you?"
"Great. Can't wait 'til the holidays. You?"
"Yeah..."
Gwen's frown made it hard to lie to him. Good thing he can't see it.
"I was over to the mall and I saw this-"
"Shut up, Parker! Don't ruin our surprises!"
"Haha! I'm messing with you!"
Gwen groans as she laughs. "Parker, you're an ass!"
"Love you back, Gwennie!"
"Ugh, not that name again."
"Yeah, that name again!"
"Anyways...what did you get, Petey?"
"Not tellin'."
"I remember two years ago."
"Oh, yeah. Those toy robots I've made for you guys..."
"And...that scarf you gave me. I'm planning to wear it this winter."
"Really?"
"Uh-huh. It's really beautiful. Thanks again, Gwennie."
"Ugh...you're welcome, Petey."
"Haha."
"Have you talked to Harry?"
"Not yet. I'm planning to, though."
"Good; he's been acting strange lately."
"Yeah."
"Maybe he's jealous of us. You know, how we act towards others."
"Nah. He's not the jealous type."
"Perhaps."
"Well, I should get back to my homework, Gwennie. See you at the last week of school...?"
"Yep. Hopefully with presents."
"We'll give our presents to each other on Christmas Eve at my place. Alright?"
"Alright. I love you, Peter."
CRAP! She didn't mean to say that out loud! Gwen couldn't take it back now!
"Love you too, Gwen."
Good grief...he didn't notice.
Peter hangs up the phone along with Gwen.
Did he notice the thing that Gwen had said? Did he mean it sincerely? Gwen better not say a word. She didn't want to dig a deeper hole. Especially since she almost confessed her love to the nerdy Peter Parker.
