MJ’s first assessment of Peter Parker is that he’s a little weird.
And this is perfectly normal. It’s New York. What are you gonna do?
But there’s this itch, deep in the back of her mind. This itch that grows and grows as Peter Parker becomes a regular. MJ has dreams and thoughts and feelings that don’t make any sense, and maybe it’s the stress of senior year, the excitement of getting ready for college, but she doesn’t think so.
Not when Ned can’t seem to stop staring at Peter Parker, either. Not when Ned finally googles him, and his search comes up empty. Not when there’s an unfinished drawing of Spider-Man in her room, the lines forming his face stopping just short of it, and he’s sitting on the roof of Midtown High, and he’s leaning forward, laughing.
She has no idea what that last part has to do with any of it, except for the fact that there’s a laugh that drifts through the back of her thoughts sometimes, light and joyful. Except for the fact that she’s never heard Peter Parker laugh.
In her mind, every day, the sky tears itself to pieces.
