Bab 58: Chapter 57
"She just kissed me," I shrugged, "didn't plan on it or anything."
"But you kissed her back!" MJ yelled out. Our relatives looked at us, we lowered our heads and whispered.
"Yeah well, why wouldn't I? It's not like I have girls lining up to kiss me. I take what I can and besides, she's pretty cool, you think so too right?"
"I-I….you still kissed her."
"Yes, yes I did. Why? Did you want me to kiss you instead?"
MJ looked away pissed, she didn't say a thing. I sighed, "sorry MJ, just teasing."
"It's fine," she shrugged.
Just then my phone began to ring. I picked it up, "hello?"
"Peter, it's me Marcus! Colleen sensei is having another training session, you coming or what?"
I blinked, "wait, today? I didn't know! How much time do I have?"
"Can you be here by 2?"
"Yeah I can but," I looked at MJ and sighed, "sorry I'm actually with a family friend. Rain check?"
"Damn, sensei won't like this man."
"I know, tell her I'm sorry." I sighed, "bye Marcus."
"Bye man," he hung up.
"Who was that?" MJ asked.
"A friend from my dojo, he wanted me to come over for a training experiences, I told him I couldn't," I took the used bowl and washed it.
"You didn't have to do that for me," MJ whispered.
I shrugged, "don't worry about it. Anyway, want to go up to my room?" MJ nodded, I guided her upstairs and closed the door behind me. She plopped down on my bed while I sat on my desk chair.
"So how's life?" I asked her.
"It's….weird to be honest. Friday was so freaking weird. I mean one moment we were on a perfectly ordinary school trip and the next..."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
"What's there to talk about?" she asked with a shrug, "robots attacked us, Iron Man flew in and saved the day and you basically made sure everyone I knew didn't die and saved our lives."
"I didn't do much."
"Peter you single handedly took out a drone, and if you hadn't called in Johnny Storm, who you're buddies with by the way, then who knows how many people would have died? Face it Tiger, you're a hero."
I chuckled, "thanks MJ, I'm glad you think so."
"What do you mean I think so? I'm not the only one! I was on the phone with Liz all day yesterday, the whole school knows about you Peter! They all think you're a hero! Hell I heard Liz mention half the cheerleaders like you now!"
I blinked, "huh….well that's interesting."
"Yeah," she looked unsure of herself and I honestly felt bad. She wasn't a bad person per say, just a little childish.
"So MJ, are you going to audition for the school play? I heard they begin on Monday right?"
MJ looked surprised, "y-you remember that?"
"Of course I do silly, I'm still you're friend right?"
"Y-yeah, right."
"So? Are you?"
"I don't know Peter. Liz keeps telling me it's a bad idea and I'm not going to like it. It's supposed to be long and gruesome and-"
"-Of course it's a long and tiresome task MJ, it's not worth doing if it was easy! But that's no reason to give up!"
"But Liz said-"
"-Liz doesn't know you, I don't think she bothered to even try, because if she did she would know how much you want this. So shut up about what Liz thinks and tell me what you think."
MJ was silent, she looked hard pressed for an answer before sighing, "you're right."
"I know I am," I grinned.
"Careful Tiger, girls don't find an ego impressive," she snorted.
"I'll keep that in mind."
"It's just," MJ sighed, "she wanted to focus on Homecoming instead, said we barely have any time left to prepare. She and Flash are going together but I'm not sure I'm even going at all."
I raised an eyebrow, "holy shit, that's right, Homecoming's this week. Damn, I actually forgot about that."
"Really? You did? Oh what am I saying, of course you did," MJ rolled her eyes.
"I'm surprised someone hasn't asked you out yet."
"Actually Harry did ask me out but...I'm not sure if I should go."
"Really? Osborn? Again? You do know they are all creepy little shits right? Harry might be decent enough, but his dad's totally up the walls fucked up."
"Really? How do you know so much about him?"
"I used to be his BFF remember?" I scoffed, "his dad always gave me the creeps, now ever more so."
"Because he showed interest in you?"
"Exactly. He saw me as a toy to add to his collection, nothing more. He treats people like toys to be added and I...I don't want Harry to think of you the same way."
"Peter he won't, he's not that bad."
I shrugged, "so you say...anyway, are you going to accept or what?"
MJ shrugged, "I don't really know."
"Alright tell you what, if you want I'll take you to Homecoming, only if Harry's too much of a pain to deal with. What do you say?"
"What about Felicia?"
"I don't know. That girl's complicated, I doubt she actually likes me let alone wants to got to Homecoming with me," or rather I know she has a thing for me, but I can't act on it unless she admits it. Stubborn Cat!
"Of course she likes you Peter, why else would she make out with you?"
I chuckled, "because she was turned on by what I did? Honestly I really doubt she's into the whole serious romance angle, and I highly doubt she wants to go to some dance. So? What do you say? Want to go to Homecoming with me?"
MJ blinked, "I-I, ah….tell you what, you talk to Felicia and I'll talk to Harry, if neither of our dates are like we want them, then we'll go together. Deal?"
I grinned, "deal. Now, what exactly are you going to do about the play? Do you like have lines to do?"
"Well they are doing Midsummer Night's Dream this year and I really want to play Helena," MJ smiled.
'The girl who love a man that has no interest in her? Damn Mary Jane, subtle you are not,' I shrugged, "okay, do you want to practise?"
