Got the inspiration when I was watching Spider-Man clips and noticed the interesting way MJ looks at Peter. Cabrera1234 I haven't forgotten your marriage fic request I just haven't quite gotten there yet if that makes sense.
Peter and Michelle both like each other. But the other doesn't know.
"What's going on Peter?" Ned asked.
"I don't know but Michelle left me a bunch of messages. Like she's worried or something."
In response Michelle walked up, "Loser 1 Loser 2."
Ned stood taller, "Why am I loser 2."
"I won't dignify that with a response." She said. "Hey Peter are you coming to the decathlon meeting? It is mandatory."
"Yeah I'll see if I can make it." Peter said. Michelle rolled her eyes, "Whatever."
She walked away and Peter scratched his neck then ran his fingers through his hair.
"Seriously dude?" Ned said.
"What?" Peter asked.
"You did the the thing."
"What thing?"
"The thing you do when you just had a conversation with a girl you like."
"There is no thing." Peter said and slammed his locker door shut.
Michelle didn't know what was up with that guy. Peter freaking Parker, it had to be him. Out of all the guys she could like it was him. He didn't like her though and she wanted to pretend like she didn't care still. After school she went to Amy's house. Amy was her best friend, she didn't go to Michelle's school she went to a fancy school. She was the only person she showed any real emotions to, she was completely different around Amy than she was around anyone else. She knocked on the door and Amy's Mom answered the door, "Michelle, come in!"
"Thank you."
"Amy is upstairs."
"Alright."
Michelle went up the stairs and barged into Amy's room throwing herself on Amy's bed.
"Um, hi?"
"He wasn't there. Again he wasn't there."
"MJ, who are you talking about?"
"Peter, who else."
"Ah." Amy said turning around from her vanity mirror. "Decathlon?" MJ nodded. "Didn't show up." MJ shook her head. Amy went and sat next to MJ.
"MJ please tell me you didn't leave a million messages this time!"
"5."
"MJ! That's not not caring! That's too caring!"
MJ sat up, "What do I do? He's there one day he's not the other. I hate him."
"But you love him?" Amy looked at the MJ that had laid back down.
"I don't want to like him! But for some reason I can't put anyone else above him."
"This is a problem." Amy sighed.
"Yeah and you're my best friend. You're supposed to help me. I hate that I want him! What's he ever done for me? Nothing. He'd be a terrible boyfriend but that isn't convincing enough."
Amy nodded, "How about our usual remedy? Twizzlers and Rom Coms?"
MJ nodded.
"I'll go get them." Amy said getting up. MJ's phone rang. "Peter?"
From the other end 'I think you could have butt dialed her. How many times is this gonna happen before you stop putting your phone in your back pocket without locking it?' Then the line went dead. That was weird, were they talking about her? MJ forgot because Amy came back with the remedy.
"Peter seriously you need to stop with the butt dialing. One day she might here your exclamations." Ned said grabbing a Dorito.
"Yeah yeah you're right about everything." Peter said exasperated.
"I know. But what're we gonna do about it? You're hopelessly in love." Ned said grabbing another Dorito.
"I'm not in love Ned. I'm only 15! I can't be."
"But you feel stronger about Michelle than you did about Liz. Do I need to remind you about that?"
"No no you don't. What do I do?" Peter asked.
Ned sat up. "Well for one you could start showing up to meetings. She likes you too."
"No she doesn't how could she."
"1. Messages 2. You're not there when you leave. The way she looks after you, bro she loves you too."
"Ned! She isn't in love with me! We're 15! I don't know what's going on in my life! I don't even know what that kind of love is!"
"Fine whatever. But still the looks...ooh chilling." Ned smiled.
Peter fell on his back onto his bed. "Shut up."
Ned looked at him, "bro you just messed up the Doritos."
"How is that even possible." Peter said putting his arms over his eyes.
MJ decided to opt out of talking to Peter before school. It would just make her more frustrated about her feelings for the loser, freak weirdo. Last night Spider-Man had saved civilians from a burning building, why couldn't he go to her school? He seemed like a good dude swinging around and saving people.
Peter wondered why MJ hadn't come to them. "Hey Ned, have you seen Michelle?"
"Nope! And frankly it's better for you, come on."
At decathlon practice Peter showed up and MJ raised an eyebrow and snorted, "Look who finally showed up."
Peter stuck out his tongue and sat across from her. Great she thought Now he shows up
Ugh why was she so frickin beautiful when she was not trying to be? Peter thought look at her as the meeting started.
Hehe did you like my irony in there? I thought it was pretty great myself.
