A canon-compliant drabble on The Amazing Spider-Man #63.


Gwen and Harry were heading into E.S.U. Gwen hadn't told anyone what happened between George and Peter.

"Say! There's Pete!" Harry said, waving at Peter. Gwen couldn't bear to look at him.

"Please, Harry... Don't call to him! I'd prefer not to see him!" The blonde mumbled.

She could feel Peter's presence, but he didn't speak.

"Look, Gwen... I don't get it! Everyone figured you and my gloomy roomie were a real item! And now..." Harry trailed off, looking at Peter.

"Let's just say, they all figured wrong, shall we?" Gwen replied coldly.

"Okay, Gwen... Have it your way! See you in class, Pete!" Harry replied, ushering Gwen to class.


Classes were nearing their end, and Gwen could feel Peter's eyes wandering back to her during class. She ignored him entirely, but finally, it got to the point Professor Warren was calling Peter out.

"Mr. Parker! We're still waiting on that oral report I requested!... Parker, if you're trying to lead some sort of silent student protest, I wish you'd let us in on it!"

Peter stood up suddenly, seemingly confused. "Huh? Oh,... I'm sorry Dr. Warren! Did you... say something?"

Gwen looked down, she refused to give Peter any sort of attention.


Chemistry finally ended, and Gwen was free to leave. She grabbed her textbooks, tears cascading down her cheeks.

'Oh, Peter... If only you had one word of explanation! I'd believe anything you tell me! Nothing seems to matter without you!' Gwen thought to herself dreadfully as she left the classroom.


Fun Fact: This issue has George inviting Peter to lunch, explaining "Gwen's out on a date". It's not with Norman, he's having a mental break down with Harry. George was most likely trying to make Peter jealous. Gwen's been literally pining for Peter ever since the attack. Or more specifically since her first appearance in issue #31.
