Chapter 17: Valentine's Day
Valentine's Day is one of those days of the year where couples spend time with each other and giving gifts such as flowers and chocolates. Peter is one of those individuals who doesn't celebrate Valentine's Day because he's been asking different girls to be his Valentine, but they end up rejecting him. One day in school, Peter was in his locker getting books for science class when his best friend Ned approaches him.
"Dude, please tell me you are excited for this year's Valentine's Day," said Ned.
"I'm not excited for the Valentine's Day this year," said Peter.
"Why not? You've been asking different girls to be your Valentine," said Ned.
"Well, they all rejected me. So, I'm not excited," said Peter.
"Have you asked Michelle to be your Valentine?" Ned asked Peter.
"It's MJ. And no, I haven't asked her to be my Valentine," Peter answered.
"She's the only girl you haven't asked. If you don't ask her, someone else might beat you to it," said Ned.
"Thanks for the reminder," said Peter as he closed his locker.
Peter goes to his science class where he spends the next hour and twenty minutes of lecture because science is his favourite subject. After the class ended, Peter leaves the classroom and he finds MJ at her locker. Peter, feeling nervous, walks up to her.
"Hey MJ," he said.
"Hey Peter," she responded.
"I want to ask you something. Will you be my Valentine this year?" he asked.
"Sorry, I can't. Someone else asked me before you," she answered.
"Oh. Sorry if I asked," said Peter as he walked away from MJ, not wanting to show his sad expression to her.
'I wonder what that was all about,' MJ thought confused as she watched Peter walk away.
Peter goes to art class and he down on a desk, feeling depressed and sadness inside him. He covers his face with his hands as he tries not to cry. And this was another time that he got rejected by a girl, who has already been asked by different guys.
A couple of hours later, Peter goes to his locker to get his backpack because it was the end of the school day. He heads out of the front entrance with his head down. Then, he hears a girl crying, he looks up and sees a familiar face sitting in a set of stairs, crying. He carefully approaches the crying girl and he realizes it was MJ.
"MJ?" he asked.
"Peter?" she said when she looked up at him, tears in her eyes.
"MJ, what happened? What's wrong?" asked Peter.
"It turns out that the guy who asked me to be his Valentine ended up being an idiot. I caught him asking another girl to be his Valentine and I ran out of the school," MJ answered.
Peter sat down beside MJ and she rest her head on his shoulder and cried. Peter wrapped his arm around MJ's shoulder and rubbed it gently.
"Come on. I'll take you home," said Peter after a couple minutes of silence. But MJ shakes her head.
"I don't want to go back to my apartment. I can't endure another argument from my parents," she said.
"You can hang out at my apartment for a while," he said.
MJ nods as she continues crying. Peter pulls her into a hug and allows MJ to cry in his chest for a while and he rubs her back. After a few minutes, MJ finally stops crying and she and Peter walk to his apartment. They take the elevator and walk towards Peter's suite. Peter unlocks the front door and lets MJ walk in first. They take off their shoes and walk to Peter's bedroom and they put down their backpacks. MJ sat down on Peter's bed as she looked down on the ground. Peter sat down beside MJ.
"MJ, would you please look at me?" he asked.
"I can't," she answered, afraid to cry in front of the boy that she has a crush on.
Peter takes her hand and MJ doesn't pull away. MJ looks up and gives Peter her saddest smile. Peter uses his free hand to gently wipe the tears off MJ's face.
"I'm sorry that you had to see me like this, Peter. I just feel so vulnerable and being heartbroken over a guy who asked me to be his Valentine," said MJ.
"You're not vulnerable, MJ. I just don't want to see you like this. If you ever feel sad about anything, talk to me, okay?" said Peter.
MJ nods and Peter does the unexpected. Peter kisses MJ on the lips, but she doesn't pull away. Instead, she deepens the kiss and Peter pulled away and leaned his forehead against MJ's forehead and they look into each other's eyes.
"Happy Valentine's Day MJ," he said.
"Happy Valentine's Day Peter," she said as she pulled him in for another kiss.
Despite not having the best Valentine's Day they were hoping for, Peter and MJ ends up becoming a couple and Peter wrote on both his and MJ's hand 'Peter + MJ Forever' using a black sharpie. And they got their happy ending.
And that's the end of the seventeenth chapter. So, what did you guys think? When I got the request from Heinor Lopez on the reviews section, I came up on how to write this. My advice to you guys is make sure you make every moment count with your boyfriend or girlfriend on Valentine's Day. But, anyway. You guys know what to do. Make sure you drop those reviews and I'll be taking more requests from the reviews section. And the eighteenth chapter will be on its way later this week.
