╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

It had been a couple of weeks since everything that went down between Kate and I, The last couple of weeks have been crazy with everything that had happened to Kate, Peter and Liz. I have been using that experience for my song writing and have been posting them online and they have been blowing up and have thousands of views and it been so cool having people hear my music and see them love it. And that brings us to now, and I was on a school trip to the Museum of Modern Art with the science class to celebrate our win.

I was trying to focus of the song that I was writing but MJ kept bombarding me with different question like "When was I going to tell Peter how I felt" or "Why is it taking you so long to do it". But I had a plan on how I was going to do it, I still felt bad for everything that happened between me and Peter, and even thought he said he forgave me, I still want to make it up to him. So i was going to kill two bird with one stone and write Peter a song. It was like a grown up version of "Enchanted" and it was honestly my best song.

It talks about everything that happened and how I feel about him and that I want us to be together but I just need to finish it first and then find the right time to play him. I looked over to where Peter and Ned were sitting, and he looked like he was in a very deep conversation with him but I couldn't hear it. We have been talking but not a much as we did before, he been busy with Tony Stark and the apprenticeship with him that we don't have much time to hang out. I deiced that it probably best to get back to my song writing and was nearly done when I was cut off by Ned shout something,

"Look everyone a spaceship" He shouts and everyone rushed to the window, and I looked out to see a giant spaceship in the ship is in the sky. and everyone begins to panic because we don't know what is happening. "I'm sure there isn't a spaceship out outsid-" MJ says coming over ot the side of the bus everyone was at but stop mid sentence because she sees that there is an actually spaceship in the sky and it was huge.

" What the Fu-", "Y/N, Language!" Mr. Harrington cuts me of before I could finish what I was saying. "But sir look at the giant ship" I say to him, " please calm down and sit down" he says. " How do you expect us to calm down when that is in the sky" I hear a student shout behind me. After a few minutes of panic, the spaceship in the sky disappeared. " See nothing to worry about" Mr. Harrington says, and we start to make our way to the museum. I look back over to where Peter and Ned was sitting but Peter was gone, he must have moved seats when the panic happened.

And after an hour and an hour of driving we finally make it to the museum. As we all started to get off the bus, I looked around for Peter but there was still no sign of him, this wasn't the first time Peter had disappear but it was starting to get weird now. There is only one person that would know Peter whereabout and that was Ned. "Hey Ned, have you seen Peter" I asked walking over to him. "Oh... he's... he's in the museum" he says, "he was too excited and couldn't wait" he continued. "Oh ok, we'll if you see him can you tell him I'm looking for him" I say, and Ned rushes off into the museum.

"Ned is acting weird, right?" I turn to MJ and Betty who were now sitting beside me, "He always act weird, so it nothing new" MJ comments before walking toward the entrance of the museum and we followed her in. We all walked in and met the tour guide that would be showing us around. During the whole tour, I looked for Peter but there wasn't any sign of him, and Ned looks a bit nervous but why would he be nervous? It could possibly be over the alien ship, but it's gone now.

"Something is weird" I say to myself, "what is" MJ appear from behind me. "Oh nothing" I say trying to play it off and she just gives me a weird look before walking off, but then I remembered about what Liz said before she left. That Peter was hidden something, Peter disappeared the night before the decathlon meeting and then Spider-Man showed up the next day to save us when he was only know to be in New York. He also disappeared haft way through homecoming when Liz's father was arrested. And now the Alien ship appears and now he's gone again, and the only person that knows about it is Ned.

Could Peter be working with Spider-Man, maybe like the man in the chair ... Peter is smart so that could be true. I don't think he could be Spider-Man because I've meet Spider-Man and he sounded different, he had more of a deeper voice than Peter. Now I was just going to enjoy the tour... well try to with still being worried about where Peter could be.

MJ (POV)

We were now all sitting in the canteen after getting the tour of the whole museum; everyone got a tour while I had to listen to Y/N asking me repeatedly if I had seen Peter. But it was a bit weird that he had disappeared, he always disappears when something happens like Washington or the prom and even now. And to say Y/N was worried would be an understatement, you would think they were dating but they are both too awkward to do anything.

It was like watching two headless chicken running around, they both liked each other but didn't know what to do. Speaking Y/N, He was sitting on the chair at the window, reading over the newest song that he had written. He has been writing songs nonstop since the whole love triangle/blackmail fiasco, and they all weren't about Peter. He wouldn't let me hear the new ones about him, but I've heard the other ones like "Real Friends". That I had to make sure it wasn't about me but infect about Kate.

Just then I heard a women scream, and I look up to see someone turn into Ashe. "What is happening" I hear another person scream; I quickly grab my things and start to head towards Y/N. As everyone around me started to panic, including Y/N who had also started to grab his things and run towards me and the group.

I watched as Y/N dropped to his knees, and I started to run faster to him. I needed to get to him, he was all I had but he didn't need to know that. "Y/N" I shout his name and I beside me to see that Betty and Ned running toward him as Mr. Harrington tells us to come back.

We finally got to him, and I was terrified because I didn't know what was happening. Y/N looked at me with tears in his eyes and that's when I noticed that his hands were gone. "I'm scared" he says and just like that he disappeared, with tears in my eyes, all that was left over from my friends was his song book opened on the page

"Afterglow"

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

This was it, it was the day of Homecoming, and I was practicing with the band to make sure that everything went smoothly tonight. Also, MJ had threatened them that if it did not, they would not want to find out what would happen, and it also scared me as well. We had just finished as Liz had walked in to do her finally run off everything before she went home to get ready for the event. "Are you sure that I can't sit in for one last sound check" she asked, "You know I want it to be a surprise" I said. "Uh fine, but only cause it I trust you" she says before vanishing into the back, I mean I could not have her know what I was going to do, I know she would not know it was for Peter but in case she did I could vanish into the crowd before she could attack me.

"Thanks everyone again for doing this" I say before grabbing my things and leaving the hall, As I walk out, I see Ned and Peter talking to each other. They looked at me and I waved but went back to talking to each other. I was hoping this would work because I needed him back in my life. Before being friends with Peter was easy, I did not know what I was missing. And now I know that I was missing the most wonderful person, and I hated that I ruined it, but that was what tomorrow was about. And if it went bad, I prayed that the ground would open and take me to hell because anything they could do would be less painful.

Speaking of hell, Kate had not bothered me since I told her that if she did anything, I would ruin her life. Just then I hear my name being called from behind me and I see Nathan and Betty, "So my dad will pick you and MJ at seven" he says. "Yeah, as you told me for the hundred time" I say rolling my eyes, "I'm just saying because Betty wants to be here before everyone" he says. "I know, and I promise I will be ready" I say as I walk away before being reminded again.

I finished at my locker, and then I could feel someone stand behind me, turn around to see Kate and sigh loudly. "But I didn't say your name 3 times in a mirror" I say and she just sighs, "Don't worry, I'm here to hand you these" and she hands me my two-song books. "I would say thank you but you the one who took them" I say, and she just begin to walk away, "Hey Kate" I say, and she turns around, "It's not too late to change, and maybe you'll find the right people like I have" I say, and she gives me a weak smile at me before disappearing.

"What was that about" MJ says behind me that scares me, "oh, she was just giving me these back" I say showing her the books in my hand. We begin to head towards the exit, "Oh before I forgive don't forget to be ready at seven" I say. MJ just rolled her eyes, and I could not help but laugh, "If Betty or Nathan tell me that one more time ... I swear" she says. "I Know, so my father and I will be at yours for haft six for picture" I say, "Good because my mother won't stop about them" she says and then we go in a separate way.

As I walked into my home, a bright light flashed in front of me, and I went blind for a second. "What the fuck" I say rubbing my eyes because they are sore. "Y/N LAGUEGE" I hear my father shout from in front of me, "I'm sorry but you nearly blinded me" I say, my vision finally coming back after going black for a bit. "Sorry it's just your first dance, and if your mother was here, she would kill me for not having pictures" he says.

"Ok but turn the flash off please before you blind more people" I say before walking upstairs, "I brought your favorite food from the restaurant, it is on the table in the kitchen. And I quickly turned around and head straight for the kitchen to have the food, the whole time my father just get prepping me for tonight. "I just wish I could be there to see it" he says, "well there will be other times" I say as I finish eating and head upstairs to get ready for the dances.

As I walk into my room, I see my suit hanging up on my closet door. It was a black suit with a turquoise tie. MJ, being my best friend, decided we should wear it because it was my mother's favorite color and we wanted to thank her for everything. I walked over to the suit, took it down, put it on my bed and went for a shower, after I went back to my room and I started to put the suit on, but I needed help to put my tie on because I did not know how to.

But my dad said he would do it, but he did somewhere to put the camera so that he could make it take picture as he did it. "Your mother would be proud of the man you have become" he says, and I could see that he was begun to cry. "Are you crying" I asked, "No, the aftershave you're wearing is really strong," he says, and I tell him that I was not wearing any.

"She would be proud of how much of an amazing father you are" I say, and he starts to cry more. "I need to go because the aftershave is strong. "I told you; I didn't put it on yet" I said as he walks out but not before he turns around and takes one last picture of me. "Also, I have one last present for you" he says, "It's in the sitting room" he continues before walking into the bathroom. And I started to head downstairs and towards the sitting room, I opened the door to see that there was now a keyboard in the sitting room. It was the same one that my mother always talked about wanting, and I walked over to it and sat down and pressed random keys.

And the first song that came into my head was a Taylor Swift song, me and my mother were big fans of her. I loved Speak Now, and my mother was a debut fan, but her new album "Reputation" was my favorite and I loved "New Year's Day" because it reminded me of my memories with Peter but also my mother.

And I just begin to sing as I play the piano and just let all the emotion that I had been feeling out thinking about everything with Peter, from bumping into him in the hallway on the first day of school, the almost kiss, the fake date, the moment at my mother grave and then how I ruined it all because I didn't want to talk about my feeling. "Please don't ever become a stranger, whose laugh I could recognized anywhere" I sing as I play the last keys. Then another flash happens, and I look up to see my father was crying again.

"Aftershave" I say, and he just walks over to me and pulls me into a hug, "No, I'm just so proud of you" he says. I looked up to the clock to see that that it was twenty past six, "I think we should leave soon, MJ mother wants to do a photoshoot before we go" I say, and he lets go. "Thank you, I love it" I say before getting up and getting everything ready. Before we left, I took out my phone to give MJ a heads up that we were leaving, also that my father was trying to blind people with his flash on his camera and she told me that her mother is the same way.

we got in the car and started to head towards MJ house, and again the whole time he was prepping me, but it was good. I loved our relationship; he was the support I needed after everything, and I was grateful. We finally made it to MJ, and it was like a club with the number of flashing lights that was happening with all the cameras. "You look amazing as always" I say to MJ, "Listen this is a pity date, I felt bad for you" she says as a joke or I hope.

Finally, now we were all on the way to homecoming. And now the nervousness was starting to kick in. "I'm really doing this" I said to myself, but I guess everyone could hear. "You can do this Y/N and if he doesn't feel... Ouch" I hear Nathan say, "As Nathan was saying if people don't like it, it's their loss" MJ corrects him. "Yeah, All the boys will be at your door" Betty says. We finally make it to homecoming, "Liz just text me that her and Peter are on the way" Betty says before disappearing into the building.

I was about to walk in, but I was pulled back by someone and I looked back to see that it was MJ, "If you don't want to go through with this, I understand" she says. "No, I have to do it" I say, "but thanks for looking out for me" I say. I walk into the room and Betty walks over to me with an earpiece in her ear, "There has been a change of plans, we need you to go on first, the DJ didn't show up because he is stuck in traffic" she says. "But I'm not ready" I say, "we'll be ready" she says to me before walking off. "Just go I'll text you when Peter is here" Nathan says. And MJ and I head toward the stage.

"Give me your phone" Betty says, "What ... why" I asked, "Because it will mess with everything" she says before taking my phone. And then I begin to have a panic attack, and I begin to breathe heavily. "Is everything ok" I hear someone beside me and turn around to see that it was Liz. "Liz, what are you doing here, also where is Peter" I said looking around to see if Peter was nearby.

"He's talking to my father, now stop changing the subject, you're having another panic attack aren't you" she says, "yes... I am nervous about going on stage" I say. Y/N, you have nothing to worry about. Peter says you are a great singer, "Really" I say, "Yeah, now just do what I taught you and you will do great." "Anyway, I must go, I told Peter I would meet him on the dance floor, you will be amazing" she says before walking off.

"Y/N, you're on in 1 minute" I hear Betty shout from backstage, "she's really hot when she does that" I hear Nathan say. "Wait, I thought you were looking out for Peter" I asked, "I was, and I called you, but you didn't answer" he said. "But MJ will text me when he's near" he says, and then his phone vibrates, "He's on his way in" he says. "He's ready, babe" Nathan calls out and then I was being pushed onto the stage by Betty and now I was on stage and the band began to play the intro.

"Is everyone having a good time" I say into the microphone, and everyone cheers. "Well why don't you grab your date and have a slow dance; this song is about being in love with someone and hoping they feel the same" I say and then I see Peter walking into the room. But then the lights got brighter, and I could not see the crowd anymore, which was a good thing because it made me less stressed. But I could not see Peter, so I don't know how he will take it. As I am singing the song, the nervousness slowly begins to fade away, and now we were getting to the part that I was worried about.

"This is me praying that This was the very first page Not where the story lines end My thoughts will echo your name, until I see you again These are the words I held back, as I was leaving too soon, I was enchanted to meet you"

Then band stop playing as it gets to the main part

"Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you"

And then the band comes back even loud and strong as I sing the last chorus, as the band plays the last note and then the light goes out. And then the crowd started to cheer and scream, and I have never felt so good as I did right now, "Thank you so much Y/N, I think we all enjoyed it" I hear everyone scream. As I walk off stage, I still feel the excitement from when the crowd cheered, "that was amazing Y/N" MJ says. "Well, what did Peter look like when he heard it" I asked. "I lost him when you began to sing so I didn't see" she says, "Well it out there now, nothing I can do it's his move" I say. "Let's go enjoy the night" she says before pulling me from backstage and onto the dance floor.

"Who knew Michelle Jones knew how to move" I say, and she gives me a death look, and I just laugh. I did not see Peter or Liz the whole night, I guess they wanted to go somewhere private. He must have made up his mind and chose Liz and I just needed to be ok with it, and I was happy I went to homecoming because I had an amazing time with MJ.

The lights dimmed down and now the only light was on the stage, just then Nathan and Betty walked out onto the stage. "Who's ready to crown Homecoming king and queen" Betty says, "You have 5 more minutes to cast your vote" Nathan says and then the lights came back on. I then saw Liz run out of the hall and it looked like she was crying, "Hey, I'll be back in a second" I said to Liz before chasing after Liz.

I watched as she went into the bathroom, and I was hesitating at first, but she was there when I needed support, so I needed to return the Favour, I owed her that at least. "It's ok, I'm gay" I shout as I walk into the bathroom, I felt weird pulling that card, but I didn't want to wait outside for Liz that somehow felt creeper to do.

"Y/N, what are you doing here" she says as she wiped her face, "I saw you leave, and I wanted to check If you were ok" I asked. She sighs and walks over to the sink and leans against it, "Peter left" she says, and I was shocked, why would peter leave. "Wait what, did he say why" I asked, and she just shook her head. "He just said that he needed to go, and that I didn't deserve this" she says, and she started to cry again. Did he leave because of my song??

I didn't know what to do, so I did the one thing my mother always did to me when I was upset, and I walked over to her and hugged her. She was stiff at first but after a few seconds, she started to hug me back. We didn't say anything for a while, and we just hugged each other until she pulled out.

"Thanks Y/N, I really needed that" she says, "Hey, it is what friends are for" I say, and she smiles at me. "Really" she says, and I looked at her confused, "Yeah, why wouldn't we not" I say going and leaning on the sink with her. "Because... I just got this sense you didn't like me" she says, and I just froze, I guess I wasn't as good at hidden it as I thought.

"How could I hate you; you helped me when I was having a panic attack" I say, "You are the sweetest and kindest person I have ever met and if Peter doesn't see that then it's his loss" I say it and I honestly meant every word of it. "You don't understand Y/N, peter just has this control over me and makes me feel things I have never felt before and.." she tells me everything about her and peter, but the thing she didn't know was I did understand, because everything she was saying was how I felt about Peter too.

"Actually... I do understand... There is a boy I like, he doesn't know though and he makes me feel like that too" I say, "Is it the boy that you were singing about" she asked, and I just nod my head. But before she could ask me anything more, her phone rang. "Hello... yeah he is" she says, and she then hangs up, "We should go, there about to announce the prom king and queen" she says, and we link arms and walk back towards the hall.

We got to the hall and we both walked over to where MJ was standing and saw a wide smile on her face. "What has made you so happy" I asked, she didn't say anything and just looked forward and smiled. It was kind of scary, all I hoped for had nothing to do with why she was smiling. Then Betty and Nathan walk back onto the stage, "The votes are in" Nathan says and everyone cheers. "And we are now ready to crown you king and queen" Betty says, and she takes one of the envelopes off Nathan. "Your homecoming queen is ... LIZ ALLEN" She screams into the microphone and everyone cheers. I give Liz a hug and congratulate her and watch as she walks onto the stage. "And for your homecoming king is ...... Y/N L/N" Nathan shouts and everyone cheers even louder.

I just stand there in shock, "Please tell me you didn't rig this" I say, "Nope, didn't have to, Nathan texted me saying you won" she says before pushing me towards the stage. As I walked up towards the stage I looked around and saw everyone cheering for me and I even saw Mr. Harrington cheering along with everyone else and her mouths congratulations to me. I finally get on stage, and Nathan puts the crown on me and hugs me. And I go over to stand beside Liz. "Your homecoming King and Queen everyone" Nathan and Betty both shout, and everyone cheers. The rest of the night was so much fun, and I was sad that it was over. MJ and I waited outside the school for my father to collect us and go back to mine and watch a FUCK MEN MOVIE, so we watched Legal Blonde because she didn't need a man to be successful so why would we.

I would lie and say that I did not wait all weekend for a message or something from Peter, but I was, and he did not. Now I was getting ready to head back to school after a weekend of deciding what to do, I walked into the kitchen to see that my father was watching the news. Then a picture of Liz's father came onto the screen. "Adrian Toomes was arrested Friday night and has been identify as the vulture" the women on the News, "That man is a bad man" my father says, "that my friend's father, her name is Liz" I say. It says he had killed and robbed and is now being send to prison and he is family is being moved for safety reason.

"Hey, want me to drop you at school" my father asked me, and I nodded before sitting down and eating breakfast before heading to school. As I walk down the corridor, I see that Liz and Peter are talking to each other until she walks off and then Liz starts to walk over to me, "Hey, is everything ok" I asked noticing that she had tears in her eyes. "Well, I'm moving to Oregon because my mother wants to get away from it all" she says, "I'm sorry to hear" I say. I notice that Peter is still standing there staring at us.

"he's the boy, isn't he" she asked, "huh?" I say trying to pretend that I didn't hear her, "Come one, I had a feeling before because of the way you acted around me, and then when you sang your song and how you talked about the guy. " She says. "Liz, I'm sorry... I didn't know how to tell you" I said, "Just be careful with him, I think he's dealing with something, and I think he needs time to figure it out" she says. And I pull her into a hug, "Thank you for everything, and I'm sorry" I say to her, we end the hug, and we go on our separate ways.

Peter walks over to me with a smile on his face, "I heard you won prom king, congrats" he says. "Lister Peter, I just want to apologies for everything" I say, "You don't need to Kate told me everything" he says. "She did" I asked, now I was wondering because what if she told him everything. "Yeah, she told me she was blackmailing you and that she forced you to be friends with Flash" he said, and I feel relaxed. "Sorry about Liz" I say, "Don't be, you didn't ruin it. I did. guess I'm not boyfriend material " he says with a laugh, but I could tell that it hurt him. "Well, I'll see you around, yeah?" he says, and I nod, and he disappears into the door that Liz did. I stood there for a bit rethinking everything that had happened over the couple of months.

MJ walks over to me, "We have a decathlon meeting now" she says and pulls me down the halls, "UGHH... I forgot I was in that" I say as I'm being pulled down the room. As we walk into the library, we learn that a meeting is happening. "I can't believe she broke up with me" I hear Flash say to someone on the table, "I guess they broke up" I hear MJ say.

Then Peter and Ned walk into the room and Peter takes a seat in front of me, he gives me a smile and waves before going back to talking to Ned. "That performance was amazing" I hear one of the girls on the team say, "Yeah, it was killer" another person says. "Wish I had a guy sing a song about me, he must be a great guy" the first girl says. "Yeah, he is" I say looking at Peter and then to the door because it opens and Mr. Harrington walks in.

"Congratulations, Decathlon National Championship" he says while sitting down at the table with the troupe, and everyone begins to cheer and clap. "Guess it will have to wait till after" I say and bring my attention back to what was happening, "So we will need a new team captain next year, So I am appointing Michelle" he says, and everyone turns to MJ, and I couldn't help but laugh. As everyone is cheering and looking at MJ, I notice that not everyone wasn't looking at MJ, but out of the corner of my eye I see Peter was looking at me with a smile on his face.

Then his phone going off and he looks at it, "Hey, I have to go" he says, and I remember what Liz says about Peter acting weird. "Why, is everything ok" I whisper to him, and he starts to stutter, "What are you hiding" I say, and he begins to stutter, "I'm joking, I'll see you later" I say with a laugh, and he just looks at me before getting up and walking out of the room. The meeting finally ends after a long time of Mr. Harrington telling us the game plan and Flash saying that everything was rigged because he wasn't the leader.

"I saw you whispering to Peter, did you tell him how you feel" MJ asks me, "Nah, just was asking him where he was going" I say. "Plus, I might give it sometime before saying anything, rebuild our friendship first" I say, and she just rolls her eyes... "Plus I have been working on a new song and I think you'll love it" I say but she ignores me and keeps walking away. "HEY... I KNOW YOU CAN HEAR ME" I shouted, running after her.

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I just felt emotionally and physically tired when I finally got home, luckily my father was already asleep when I got home so I was not questioned why I was home so early. I walked over to the desk that was in my room and got all the proof that was on my drive and put it onto my laptop and emailed it to Nathan so that he starts with the video. All I wanted to do now was go to bed and never get out of bed, so I walked over to my bed, crawled into it, and stared up at the celling thinking about everything. Luckily, it did not take me long to fall asleep and soon I was knocked out asleep in my bed.

Everything was dark until I was now standing outside my childhood bedroom, the reason I knew this was because when I was little, I loved Monster Inc. So, my bedroom door was like Boo's door but was blue, it was weird to see it because it was removed the week after my mother death because it reminded me of her. I could hear laughing from inside the room, as I opened the door to see my childhood bedroom. But there was a little child in the room running around, then I realized that it was me when I was about 7 and it looked like I was looking for someone. "MARCO" the younger voice shouted, "POLO" I heard a voice call from the closet, and he ran over and opened to see my mother standing in the closet.

"I FOUND YOU MAMA" he says, and she grabs him and goes over to the bed, "Well now I have to tickle you" she says as she begins to tickle him. "Please, stop mama" he says in-between laughter, "Not until you say you love me" she says, "I love you mama" he says, and she stops. "I love you too my little Y/N" she says and then everything goes black. Until I heard shouting behind me and turned around and now, I was at the beach, it was the beach that we always went to when I was younger during the summer. "QUICK MAMA, HELP ME BURY DADA" I heard a boy shout and see that it was me again, and we were burying my father as he was asleep. He used to always fall asleep while watching the waves because he found it very calm because he was busy with his job.

But then he woke up, and saw what they were doing, "WOW, I go to sleep, and you do this to your father" he says in a joking angry tone. He then stands up and shakes off all the sand, "WAIT, TILL I GET BOTH OF YOUS" He shouts. My mother then grabs me, and I watch as my father chases after us and I watch as we all laugh and then it goes black again. And now I was at my front door in the hall of my house, it was empty and quiet but then my parents came down the stairs with a suitcase. "Y/N come say bye to your mother before she leaves" I heard my father shout, and then I realized what was happening. It was the day that my mother left for the business trip.

"Wait for me" I hear a younger me shout and watch him appear from the sitting room, I looked a bit older from the other memories, "I will miss you" I say to her pulling her into a hug. "Don't worry I'll be back before you know it," she says, "You promise," I say, and she nods. That was the only promise my mother ever broke but that was not her fault, I watched as she walked out the door and over to the taxi. Tears were now running down my cheeks. "Please don't go" I try to chase after her, but it will not let me leave the house. "PLEASE, STAY" I shouted, I hated that I could not do anything, Then I felt a tap on my shoulder and turned around to see the younger version of me. "Don't worry, she said she will be back before we know it," he says, and then it all goes black.

I woke up to the noise from the kitchen, as if someone was moving everything, I looked over to the window to see that it was now bright outside, I was grateful that I had woken up for that nightmare, but something felt off. I do not know why but something felt different, something weird and I did not know what it was, I then heard another noise coming from the kitchen, so I decided that I was going to see what it was. As I was walking, I started to smell a smell that I haven't had in a long time.

As I get closer to the kitchen, I can hear a woman singing in the kitchen, but it was mumbled because of the loud music. I open the door to see a blonde hair woman standing at the oven singing, she then turns around with a smile on her face. "Mother" I said feeling the tears began to fill my eyes, and I ran over to her and hugged her, "I've missed you so much" I said in the hug, and I was fully in tears now. "Honey, you saw me last night when I tucked you in" she says with a giggle.

We hug for another few minutes before we break the hug, "sit down, and I'll bring over my famous pancakes" she says, and I walk over to the table and sit down. Now that I was able to think clearly now, I was confused on why my mother was here and then it hit me, I was dreaming. I have not had a dream about her in a long time.

She walks over to me and puts a plate of pancakes in front of me, then she takes a seat across from me. "How is your father doing" she asked me. "Well, it was hard for him at first and he drove himself into work" I say, "Yeah, your father does that when he doesn't want to face things" she says. "But now our relationship being better than ever" I say, "But he can be very suffocating because he was afraid that something would happen" I continued. "Yeah, he was like that even before everything" she says with a giggle

"So, what about school, are you doing music" she asks, "Yeah, I'm in the music club but also on the Academic Decathlon Team" I say with a giggle because she always wanted me to join it, but I never did. "Any new friends in the school" she says but put emphasis on the word "friends" and I knew who she was talking about. There is Ned, smart and good with computers" I say trying not to talk about Peter.

"So, what about the boy who caught your eyes" she asks, "What" I say confused because I never came out to my mother. "Come on, I have been watching you and seeing how you are around him ... so is he" she says, and I giggle at her responds, "Well... this name is Peter, Peter Parker" I say, and she gives me a warm smile. I told her more about Peter, about how he was always there for me, I tell her that me and MJ were friends again and she was happy about that. Talking about all this just made me sad again because I remembered that I was not friends with them anymore. But I tried to push it off and just be happy that I can be with my mother again, but I guess she could tell that I was upset about something.

"What's wrong sweetheart" she asked, "Well I think I may have fucked it up" I say. And I tell her about everything that had happened, with the songs about Peter and Kate blackmailing me, "I have never liked that Kate one, but I am glad that you haven't stopped what you loved" she says. "But we have a plan "I say with a smile, "I know... and that's why I am here" her smile disappears now, and she looks more concerned.

"Sweetheart, do you really think this plan will make everything better" she asked, "Well... No, but Kate needs to be stopped and it is the only way I can make it stop" I say, and she sighs. "Have you talked to them about it" she asked, "Who" I asked trying to play dumb, but I knew that was not going to work with her. "Peter and MJ, you could explain everything and maybe they will understand" she says, "and the whole video situation isn't you, she doesn't have anything on you if you tell the truth" She said, and I knew she was right.

The whole revenge plan was mine, I guess the anger had just blinded me from what was wrong and right. "But I'm scared, I need you" I say, "Sweetheart, you don't need me when you have Peter, and I sure he will understand everything" she says before taking a bite from her pancake "But what if he doesn't and he is out of my life forever" I say. "And what would I even say to him, I wasn't able to say it when we were friends" I continued. "Who says you have to say anything" she says, and I just give her a confused look, "What do you mean" I asked her. And then my song book magically appears Infront of me.

And it was opened on Enchanted, and I knew what she was talking about now, "I can't, he likes another girl now" I say. "Oh, is it the Liz girl" She says, "Yeah, I want to hate her, but I can't" I say and my mother giggles again. "She seems like a great girl, especially after the whole Washington situation" she says, "You saw that" I say looking at her. "Yeah, it was like watching an action movie, lucky Spider-Man was there" she says with a giggle like she knew something. "He likes you, Y/N" she says, "And how would you know that" I say.

"I mean... He did sit with you at my grave for an hour" she says, "speaking of which, what did he ask you" I asked. "That's for me to know and not you" she says, "But I think you should tell him, how you feel" she says before standing up. "You can't leave me, I need you, what if it doesn't work out" I say watching her walk over to the door. "Trust me, the truth will reveal all" she says before walking out of the room. I ran out after her, but she was gone again, but weirdly it didn't hurt me to watch her leave me again, because I knew she would be watching over me.

I woke up in my room and this time I knew it wasn't a dream, but I am not sad but happy, I got to see my mother again. And she was right about the whole revenge plan. I texted Nathan that the plan was off, he asked me why, and I told him we would not be as good as Kate if we did it, and he agreed. I knew what I had to do to make it up with Peter, but I just hoped that I would be able to pull it off and I needed help, and there was just one person who would help me.

I pulled up their contact and press call and the phone began to call, and I was just hoping that they would answer. "Well, Well, Well. Look who is crawling back already" I hear MJ say, "Listen, I can explain everything" I say. "And why should I listen to you" she says, "because you were right" I say, "I'm right about everything, you need to give me more detail" she says. I rolled my eyes about the comment, but I had it coming after everything.

"Kate was blackmailing me" I say, and then it goes quiet, "Hello, MJ are you still here" I say. "Yeah sorry, was thinking about how I was going to kill that bitch" she finally says after a few seconds of silence. "What does she have on you anyway" she asked and then it was my turn to be silent, "It cannot be that bad... can it" she asked. "I would rather say it in person" I say, "OMG... It is bad, what did you do" she said. "Just come over and I will tell you".

While I was waiting for MJ to get here, I sweated through 2 different shirts and had to change them. I was worried about how she would think of me when I told her that I was the reason that she did not get the newspaper article. I walked downstairs to see that my father was getting ready for work. "Since when did you get home" he asked me while grabbing the waffle from the toaster. "I felt sick, so I decided to come home last night" I say, and he just looks at me before moving on.

"May tells me that Peter is going to come homecoming with Liz" he says, "Oh really" I say trying to pretend that I did not know it. "Also, that you and Peter haven't been spending time together lately" he adds, "I've just been busy" I lie but he already knew that. "Did you tell him you like him and that's why you aren't hanging out" he asked, "because if he hurt you, I swear to god" he says, "No... Something came up but mother helped me figure it out" I say.

"You had a dream about her too" he says, "Yeah, you had one too" I asked, and he nods, we spend the next few minutes talking about our dreams. My father's dream was about her telling him that it was time to move on, and to be open to new experiences, which she was right as always. "Well, I have to go to work, hopefully everything works out with MJ" he says before leaving out the door, and a few seconds later there was a knock on the door, and I knew MJ was here now.

"Hey" I say opening the door to let her in, "Enough with the small talk, and get to the point" she says walking in and heading upstairs. Now we were both sitting in my room as I explained what happened, "she has the song books" she says, and I nodded my head. "And why didn't you tell me, I could have helped Y/N" she says and now it was time to tell her. "Well, that's everything she has on me " I say, "but you must promise me that you will listen to then end before getting mad.

"Why would I get mad" she asked, "Well, remember the short story competition in seventh grade" I say, and she nods her head. "Well, I'm the reason you didn't win" I say, and she looks at me confused, "What are you talking about" she says. "Well, I was upset that you had ditched me after my mother passed, Kate came up with this idea that we would swap yours with a bad one" I said, and she did not say anything, and I could not tell how she was taking it. "I was blinded with anger, and I thought it would make me feel better, but it didn't, and I didn't tell you because I didn't want to lose you again" I say.

We sit in silence again, "Can we stop with this whole silent thing and just say something. "Oh, sorry I was thinking about murdering Kate again" she says. "And me?" I say, "No, why would I want to murder you" she asked, "Well I was involved with it too" I say confused on her reaction. "I'm not going to hold it against you, you were grieving" she says, "Are you sure you're not mad" I asked, and she nods. "Can we hug" I asked, and she gives me a look of disgust. "Sorry I asked" I say with a giggle.

"So, what about the plan with Peter" she asked, "Well there isn't much I can do, he's with Liz now" I say. "So, you're just going to give up" she says with a serious tone, "Oh, I never said that" I say with a smile and MJ gives me a look of excitement. "So, I may or may not have a plan to perform at homecoming, and it may or may not be a song called Enchanted" I say. "What is Enchanted" she says, and I go over to my desk and take out piece of paper that I had written on the song again and hand it to her.

"Wow... Y/N... this is amazing" she says finally putting it down, "Now I just needed to find a way to perform" I say. "Oh, I'll find you a way" she says, and we begin to plan, and the first part was to make sure Kate does not ruin it. And that brings us to now, and I was waiting at the pond sitting at our spot, and I was waiting for Kate to come. "Everything ok, it sounded important" she says, "It is important, I'm done with all this" I say. "Done with what" she asked confused, "Done with you, done being one of your puppets, done being scared to speak out against you" I was finally getting it all my chest and it fucking felt so good to do.

"Oh, I wouldn't do that if I was you or..." I cut her off before she could finish whatever she was trying to say, "or what you tell MJ, oh wait I already did. And she doesn't care about it, and it is planning your murder as we speak" I said, and I could tell that she was starting to panic. "Well that I will out you for writing songs about Peter while he was with Liz" she says with her ugly little grin, "Oh you can do that, but then I'll let Flash know about your little plan" I say, "I don't have a plan" she says. "Oh, what about the plan of using Flash for his money and cheating on him" I say, "aww with what evidence" she replies.

"Aw, sweet Kate, you don't think I have evidence" I say with a grin on my face and now you could tell she was nervous but trying to play cool. "Remember when I was in your bathroom for ages" I say and all she could do was nod. "Well, I was downloading every single message that you send to every guy" I say, "and if you step out of line at all, they will get sent to everyone and I mean everyone" I say, "You wouldn't do that though, you're too sweet" she says.

"But do you really want to test that because I have nothing to lose now... But you do" I say, "So you are going to leave me and everyone else alone, understand" I say, and she nods. "Good" before walking off, and I felt so good doing that after years I had finally put Kate in her place. Now that it was finished all I had to worry about was performing in front of the school, my phone vibrates in my pocket, and I see that it is a message from Nathan telling me to get MJ and meet him at Remi's Pizza.

I walked out of the park to see MJ waiting for me. She was there in case it all backfired and I needed a plan B. And she would not tell me what it was and that made me glad we did not have to do it, "So how did it go" she asked me. "It went really good, it felt good to get it all off my chest" I say, and we begin to head towards the pizza's place. When we finally arrived at the pizza store and see Nathan was waiting for us with a cheese pizza.

"ohh pizza" MJ shouts before taking slice, "Yeah it's my treat for getting rid of Kate, once and for all" he says before singing "Ding doing the witch is dead." "You are actually funny when your noise isn't up Kate arse" MJ says and I choke of my water, "MJ" I say trying not to choke, "What is true" she says and then she takes a bit of her pizza. "Anyway... I have contacted the band, and they said they would help" Nathan says.

I say, and Nathan and MJ give me the same look. MJ says, "Yeah, why can't you?" Nathan says. "I mean I have never performed Infront of a crowd before, and what if I'm not good enough" I said. "Y/N, I've heard you sing and you're great at it" MJ says, "Thanks MJ" I say. Now this was it... I was finally getting my music out into the world well it was Midtown High School but that counts for something. We talked for a bit about different things, Nathan told us about how excited we were about going with Betty, and MJ and I were just going to go together.

"Well, I should... I have somewhere I have to be" I say, "Want me to go with you" MJ asks but I politely decline. I left the restaurant, headed towards the places, and finally made it to the graveyard, sitting by my mother's grave. "Thanks for the advice, you be happy to know that I will be performing it", "I just wish you were here to see it" I say. This was the first time that I was not upset anymore, I knew that she was and always will be looking after me. And hopefully she could use some of her ghost power to help me on Friday.

But this was it... it was now or never.... Peter was going to know I felt, I just hope he feels the same way.

╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

It had been a week since I had decided that I was going to get my revenge on Kate, And after all the time of putting together the perfect plan, now I just had to make sure that my plan worked, and the very first step was to make sure that Nathan moved on from Kate, then when he is not focused on protecting her and he would tell me something that can stop her finally. I know I am making her sound like an evil villain like the ones in the Disney movies but honestly, they were not as manipulative as she can be. And let us just be honest I was doing Nathan a favor by setting him up with Betty at least he had a chance with her instead of just following her around like a lost puppy.

After deciding on how I was going to approach the whole setting Nathan up without him getting suspicious, I finished at my locker and headed toward the exit hoping to bump into Nathan. Just as I was getting close to the exit, I saw Nathan walking out and he was alone. "HEY NATHAN, WAIT UP!!!" I called out to him so that he would stop, I finally caught up to him but needed to stop so that I could catch my breath because this was the first real exercise in my life. We both just stood there as he waited for me to catch my breath.

"So...." he just looks at me with a confused expression on his face, "Oh I was wondering if you wanted to walk home together" I asked him. "But you never wanted to walk home with me before" he said, and he was right, Nathan and I were Never really close so even when we were friends, we never walked home together even though he lived down the road to me. "Well do you want to or not" I was too out of breath to try and come up with an excuse, "Yeah, sure" he said before beginning to walk again. The first five minutes of the walk was awkward because none of us were talking, so I decided that I needed to say something.

"So... any girls catching your eye" I asked after a couple more minutes of awkward silences, this was the first time that me and him were spending time alone with each other. "Y/N, why?" he asks as he stops walking, "Because I know someone who is into you, and come on you can do so much better" I say. He just looks at me and then it finally hits him, "Oh Y/N, I think you're a great guy but I'm not into du-" I stop him before he completes his sentence. "Oh god no, I was talking about Betty" I say trying not to be hurt by being rejected by a guy that I didn't even like, "OH" he says with a giggle and continues to walk.

"Come on she pretty and also smart plus you both want to be in the media industry" I say, he goes to say something, but I stop him. "Plus, again you can do so much better," "Y/N, you know I cannot..." he was about to say before I cut him off again for the third time. "Listen Nathan, I know we aren't close but come on, we both know you need to move on" I say, and he just stops again. "Kate is blackmailing you isn't she" he says, and I just freeze, "What... No" I say trying to play it off, but I knew I was not. "Come on, I wasn't born yesterday, you have never showed interest in my Love Life and now suddenly" he says, and I started to feel bad for using him.

"Listen Nathan, I'm sor.." I say but this time Nathan cuts me off, "No, you are right. It is time to move on but also put an end to Kate's reign of terror" he says. "And how are we going to do that" I asked, and he pulls out his phone, "Well I was saving his incase Kate tried to blackmail me, but you need it more" and shows me what he has on the phone and turns out Kate been cheating on Flash with everybody under the sun, but then he shows me something that I had never seen it before. "Wow, this is so juicy, how did you get these" I asked, "I have my ways" he says with a smirk.

On the way home, we tried to produce different ideas that we could do to expose Kate till we decided. The plan that we land on would be that we make a video of all the messages with the guys, and we would play it at homecoming when she gets nominated as Homecoming Queen. Which also meant that we would have to rig the voting to make sure that Kate won, which would not be unexpected because she was promoting it all over the school with posters and cupcakes. Now we just needed to get more of the messages because the photos that Nathan had were not even the worst of it all, he only had time to take a picture of a few on them so we needed to produce a plan, I hate to get Kate's phone so I could download all the messages and then it hit me. Luckily, Nathan told me that Kate saved everything to her cloud, so all her messages were on her laptop as well.

So now we just had to make sure that I could get to Kate laptop without anyone seeing, "I think we should have a sleep over like old times" I said to Kate, we were currently sitting at the lunch table, I spent a lot of the night trying to produce an effective way to get access to Kate's laptop. And with this I would be in Kate house where she keeps her laptop, but I just need to produce a distraction, but I could not stay focus to the plan because my eyes kept wondering over to the table that Peter was sitting at with Ned and MJ. I missed hanging around with them but if this plan works it will not be long before I am back over there. The only positive thing about this was not being around Peter was that it was easy to move on and not have to hear about him and Liz.

"That's a great idea, we should go shopping for homecoming outfits before" she says, "oh what dress are you going to get Y/N" Flash says. "That's so funny, I forgot to laugh" I say, "Oh Y/N, he's just messing with you" she says. "But we should definitely have a sleepover tonight" she says and it like God didn't hate me enough with having to spend the night with Kate, "What's this about a sleepover" I hear a voice behind me, but I hope it did not belong to who I thought it was .... Then Liz sat down at the table.

"Oh Y/N and I are going to have a sleepover after homecoming shopping, you could come" she says, "oh, sounds like a great idea, Betty and I needed to go dress shopping anyway" she says, "oh who you are going with" she asked. "Well, I'm going with Peter, and Betty is going with Nathan" she says, "Oh really" she says staring at Nathan. "Well, you know what they say the more the merrier" she says with her famous fake smile. What could not be more fun than going dress shopping with the girl that your crush asked out? And the full day having to listen to her talking about her date with Peter.... That is the definition of FUN! And when I finally came back after the thought of hell, it was now Kate, Liz, Betty going to the shopping/sleepover now. But I could use them as a distraction while I was getting the messages.

After a couple of minutes of planning Liz finally let the table and Kate's eye went straight to Nathan, "I didn't know you liked Betty" she asked. "Well, it was time I moved on, and Betty is really smart and funny" he says, and I could tell this was driving her crazy, "oh .... I am so happy for you" she was not even hiding it at this point. You could tell that she was being fake but there was also maybe a hit of jealousy, but before anything else could be said she changed the subject. "So... Y/N, who are you going to go to homecoming with" she asked, "Yeah, even Penis Parker has a date, and you don't" Flash added on, and I really had to bite my tongue so I would not bad mouth Flash again.

"Oh, I don't think I'll going with anyone" I say, Homecoming was the last place that I wanted to be. The only reason I was going was to do the plan, I was just hoping that I would not have to watch Peter being all Lovey Dovey with Liz the whole night. And I did not even want to think about how Kate and Flash were going to be all night, but now I had to spend the night with Kate, Liz and Betty and then go homecoming shopping with them. It was just a week... a week of pretending to be friends with Kate.... a week of pretending to be happy about Liz going out with Peter.... boy this was going to be a long.... long... long week.

The more I think about it, my life will never be back to normal. I knew MJ would forgive me for what I had to do because she understood what she was like. But even if Pete forgave me, did I really want to watch in fall in love with someone else? That would be more painful than anything that Kate would do to me, I think Nathan could tell that I was starting to regret all this, "Hey Y/N, can you help me at my locker" he said before grabbing my hand and pulling me off into the hallway. He dragged me all the way to the bathroom.

"Please telling me you're not rethinking this because I pretty sure that Kate is planning my blackmail as we speak" he says. "No, I am still doing it... I was just thinking about what happens after" I say walking over to the sinks and sitting on the counter, "What do you mean" he asked while sitting beside me. "Well, I'm doing all this so that Peter doesn't find out about my feelings for him but is it all worth it when after I have to pretend to be happy for him and Liz" I confessed. "Wow, I did not know... I am sorry" is all that I hear before he pulled me into a hug, "I understand how you're feeling" he continues.

Nathan was the other positive thing about this whole experience, the more time I spent with him, the more I realized how much of a great person he really is. And he is the only person who would understand my whole situation, and I was happy that he was finally moving on. "Thanks Nathan" I say before he leaves me alone in the bathroom just as I finally got myself together, somebody walked into the bathroom.

I turned around to see that it was Peter, but he looked like he was upset. I did not know if I would say something, but I hated to see him upset. "Are you ok, Peter?" I asked him but he just ignored me, "Peter, I know you are mad at me, but I just want to know if you're okay" I say and he just turns around and looks at me, it was like he wanted to say something but did not know what. And after a few seconds of us just looking at each other, he finally says something. "If you really want to know, I lost my internship with Tony" he finally says, "Aww Peter... I am sorr-" but he cuts me off before I could finish.

"Don't act like you care" he says, and I could see the anger in his eyes, "I do care Pete-" but he cuts me off again before shouting over me. "NO, YOU DON'T... BECAUSE IF YOU DID YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT ME ... YOU WOULDN'T HAVE LEFT ME FOR FLASH ... IT COULD HAVE BEEN ANYONE Y/N" he shouts and I just stand there and take it all in because it was true, yes it was not the full truth and I really wanted to tell him the full truth but I could not so I just let him take out his anger.

"I WAS GOING TO TELL YOU THAT I LIKE... NO, I CAN'T DO THIS" he says before walking out of the bathroom, and I was just trying to fight back the tears, but I just could not anymore, and it all just came out. After a couple of minutes of ugly crying in the bathroom the bell went to tell me that lunch was over, so I quickly splashed my face with water to make it look less like I was crying but you could still tell. The next class was science, which I was just avoiding all week at this point because it was the class that I sat beside Peter in, but I could not miss it anymore, so I had to go and luckily it was a double. Luckily, we did not have a project that we had to do so I could sit where I wanted.

I just stood outside the door and just watched as everyone walked in and got ready for the class, Ned walked past me and gave me a look, but he was not with Peter. He decided to go home after the whole bathroom scene, which just made me feel worse about hurting Peter. And what I did the whole time was think about how much I hated myself for hurting Peter, all I wanted was to walk out of school and just find Peter and hug him like he did to me when I was sad at my mother's grave. But I could not so I just spent the rest of the day trying to think of how I was going to get Peter to forgive me if he even let me speak to him again.

The final bell went to tell me that it was finally time that school was over, and all I wanted to do was to get into bed and never get out of it. As I walk out of class, I hear the same annoying high school screams from behind me and I turn around to see Liz and Betty standing behind me. They quickly run over to me and link arms with me and begin to drag me off the hallway, "I am so excited for the sleepover/shopping trip" Liz says as Betty nods in agreement. With everything that happened with Peter, I had forgotten that I agreed to do this sleepover/ shopping trip and it was the last thing that I wanted to do.

But I just plastered on a fake smile and just pretended that everything was fine, "Me too, this will be so fun" I smiled through all the pain. As we walked around the school, I tried to keep an eye out for Peter but there was no sign of him. We all agreed to meet at Kate's house at around 7pm and I just head straight home, I knew I said that I would not lie to my father, but he did not know about the whole Kate blackmailing thing into hurting Peter and MJ, and I was planning to keep it that way. As I walked into the door, I did not even bother to say hello to my father, I just headed straight to my room and get into my bed.

I felt nothing... just numbness, I was debating that I should just stay home and just forget about the plan and just stay in bed forever. I heard a knock on my door, but I did not answer because I just wanted to be alone, but I guess they did not take the hint because I heard my door opening and closing. And then I could smell some food, then my bed dipping beside me from someone sitting on it. I could not see who it was, but it was not like it was my mother back from the grave, "Hey...." I look out to see my father sitting on the end of my bed.

"What are you doing here" I asked because I was confused on why he was in here, "Oh well, you see... I live here" he says handing me a plate of spaghetti, he then sits beside me, and we sit in silence as we eat. "So, you going to tell me why you came straight up to bed" he asked, and I do not reply, it is like he knew that I did not want to talk because he gets up from my bed and over to my Tv and grabs the remote. "Well, if you don't want to talk, we can just watch a movie" he says turning on Disney Plus and scrolling through it all.

"How about Love, Simon" he says with a little giggle, "really... Really" I say grabbing the remote off him and turning on a random Star Wars movie. "Since when do you like this" he asked, and I go back to not talking again trying to take my mind off anything, but I guess I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up the Tv was off, and it was dark outside. I just lay there for a bit trying to wake up more before my phone started to ring.

I grabbed my phone and answered it without even looking at who was calling me, which I was soon going to regret. "Where the fuck are you" I hear them say on the other side of the line. "What" I say still haft sleep from waking up from my nap. "LIZ AND BETTY ARE HERE, AND I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS ALONE ... SO, GET OVER NOW" they quickly yelled at me, then I realized that it was Kate calling me and I looked at my clock to see that it was now haft seven. "Oh shit, sorry I was watching a movie with my father and fell asleep" I say, "Well you want to get over here before I start spilling secrets" she says before hanging up.

I grabbed everything that I needed before telling my father that I was starting at MJs for the night, he offered to give me a lift, but I had to decline because I was not going to MJ; s. And after a 30-minute walk that could have been shorter if I just told him the truth, I finally arrived at Kates house and before I even could ring the doorbell. The door flew open, and I was pulled into a tight hug and all I could smell was a strong perfume that only belonged to Mrs. Nolan. "OMG Y/N, IT HAS BEEN TOO LONG" I hear her say as I slowly suffocate from the tight hug, she was giving me, "Honey let him go, he can't breathe" I hear Mr. Nolan say from behind us, and she finally let me go.

"Sorry" she says with a small giggle, "the girls are upstairs in Kate's room" Mr. Nolan says before him, and Mrs. Nolan disappeared into the sitting room, and I headed downstairs. If being friends with Kate taught me one thing, that was how to be fake, and I was going to need it. I did not have anything against Liz, she was the one that helped me in the elevator when I was having my panic attack, I just did not want to have to listen to her talk about Peter all night.

I walk into Kate's room to see them all sitting on the floor looking through homecoming magazines, "Y/N, take god you're here" Liz saying standing up and pull me over to them. She shows me two different magazines, one was a lovely red dress and the other one was a yellow dress that was not as good as the red. And believe me when I say that I really wanted to tell her the yellow dress, "definitely, the red dress" I say, and she smiles before looking back through them. I looked around the room to see if I could see the laptop but there was no sign of it.

"Hey, why don't we watch a movie on your laptop while we look through these" I say hoping that she would say yes. "Why would we do that when I have a big TV downstairs" she says, "ohh can we watch twilight please" Betty begs us, I hated Twilight, I do not know what it is, but the movie makes me cringy. But of course, it was three against one and now we were sitting down as the open scene of twilight began to play. Just then my phone vibrated in my pocket, I took it out to see that it was a message from Nathan reminding me about the plan.

"Hey, I'm going to go use the bathroom" I say getting up from the sofa and heading toward the bathroom was but going upstairs but quietly went into Kate's room, I had to be quick before they started to get suspicious. I quickly looked around the room but there was no sign of the laptop, if I were Kate where would I put it and then it hit me. I walked over to the bookshelf that Kate had in her room. When Kate was a kid her parents made a secret nook before the bookshelf. I quickly pulled the bookshelf out and out my hand behind it and fell around till I felt something, I grabbed a hold of it and pulled it out to see that it was Kate's laptop.

I turned it on hoping that it did not make a loud noise, luckily it did not but it did have a password on it, I took out my phone and quickly asked Nathan what the password could be, but he did not know. "Hey Y/N, is everything ok" I heard Kate call from downstairs, I quickly grabbed the laptop and my bag and ran toward the bathroom. "Oh, I'm just getting changed and ready" I call back out and she tells me not to be long, now I just had to figure out what the fuck the password could be. Think... think what the password would be, it was four numbers... I put in the day her, and flash started to date ... wrong, then I tried 1234 but of course ... wrong, then I had one last guess.

And I only had one more idea, but I did not know if it would work, so I type 1512. To anyone else that was random numbers, but it was the day that Kate and I became friends, it was the fifth of December at my mother's work party. When both of our mothers started to work together and we became close friends after, and it worked the laptop unlocked. It was bittersweet that the password was that because I was getting into it to end mine and Kate's friendship for the last time. I found all the messages, and there were a lot, I got the hard drive from my bag and attached it to the laptop with the wire and started to download them onto it. It said that it was going to take 5 minutes, but I did not have that.

"Y/N, its Liz. I need the bathroom" I hear Liz call from the other side of the door, "One second just brushing my teeth" I said looking down and it was at thirty-five percent and started to get changed so I was changed when I left. After a couple more minutes it was at ninety percent, "Come on, Y/N I need to go" I hear her again, but she sounds annoyed. "Just one second" I call out. "Y/N, you have five seconds before I open the door myself," I look down and it was at ninety-five percent.

FIVE... 96%

FOUR ... 97%

THREE ... it jumps to 99% but stops

TWO.... PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!

ONE...

"WHAT THE FUCK IS TAKING YOU SO LONG" Kate storms into the bathroom with Liz, she is holding a butter knife in her hand that she used to open the door. Luckly the laptop downloaded and put it into the bag before she could see it, now I just had to get it back without her noticing. "I had the bad diarrhea, ok?" I lied to cover up, so they did not get suspicious, "Ew Y/N, TMI" Liz says before pushing us out and locking the door after her. I go to Kate's room to put my bag and to sneak the laptop back, but Kate follows me back into her room, "So do you hate Liz?" she says sitting on the bed.

"What" I say looking at her confused because she was asking me this unexpected, "I mean, I would hate her if Flash was going to the dance with her and not me" she says. What was she trying to do, get me to admit that I hate Liz, believe me I wanted to hate Liz, but I cannot. If Peter were going to be with anyone, I would be glad it was someone like Liz. But let us be clear I am not happy about it, but I cannot do anything about it now.

"Well god thing you don't have to worry about that" I reply, and she gives me a confused look, "what is that meant to mean" she asks. "Oh, I just mean that Flash is so in love with you, you don't have to worry about that" I say, but I really meant that no one likes Flash enough to ask him out. Everyone around him was using him for his money, including Kate, and he was about to find out. "Oh, yeah that's true" she says with a look of disgust, just then the bathroom door opens, and Liz comes out.

"OH, we should play truth or Dare" Kate says, "Liz gets Betty, we are playing truth or dare" she calls out. Now we were all gather around Kate's floor in a circle, "Who's first" Betty asks. "I'll go first" Kate says, and I knew this was not going to end good for someone and I was hoping it was not me. "Truth or Dare, Liz" she says.

"Truth" she says, and Kate begins to think about what to say. "Why do you like Peter Parker" she says, "Well he's smart, kind and he's cute" she says, and I could feel the jealousy filling my body. "Oh... Even thought you were his second choice, you would still like him... Huh?" she says, and I feel my heartbeat in my chest, "What do you mean Kate" Liz asks, and I was hoping this was not the way Kate was going to tell Liz. "Oh, nothing" she says with a giggle then changing the subject.

We play a few rounds, Kate had to eat the day off cheese that Betty somehow had in her bag, Liz had to tell us a secret that no one knew, and Betty had to prank call Nathan and tell him we are watching him. And now it was back to me, and Kate was the one asking me. All I knew was that I was not picking truth because she would somehow find a way to bring up Peter.

"Dare" I say hoping that it won't be as bad, "I dare you to..." she was thinking, and I could feel a panic attack coming along. "Why don't you read us your latest song from your book" she says, and my heart sank, "I don't have my song book" I say, Kate do gets up and left the room. "What is that all about" Betty asks, and we just sit there, and all confused on what Kate was up to, but I knew what was happening and then she confirmed my biggest fear and walked in with my song book.

"You left this here yesterday" she says walking over and handing me the book, but it was not my actual book it was just a fake. I open it to see that all the lyrics to Enchanted was written in it with Peter name in a heart, "Well." she says sitting back down with a smile on her face. "Y/N, if you don't have to, if you don't want to "Liz says, but I knew that Kate will not let that happen, "Well. Y/N reads it or Liz you can" she says.

"If that makes it easier for you, I don't mind" Liz says to me, "Oh ... I will do it". I read it and see that a part of it was already highlighted, the fucking bitch already had this plan, now I was glad I was getting revenge. I clear my throat then look at Liz and begin to sing the part that Kate has highlighted, "Please don't be in love with someone else, plus don't have somebody waiting on you" I sing and then I look around to see everyone's faces. Betty and Liz were looking at me as if they felt bad for me, "Wow, that was beautiful" Betty says and Liz nods in agreement.

"Who is it about Y/N" Kate asks me, "Oh ... it's about a boy in school" I say. "Oh, how about we play hide and seek" I say trying to change the subject, "We aren't five, Y/N" Kate says. "I think it would be fun" Betty says, "fine, but Y/N, you can be on because it's your idea" she says getting up and walking out of the door and the girls follow behind. I begin to count to 30 aloud as I walk over to my bag and grab the laptop to quickly put it back where it was. And quickly text Nathan for the second half of the plan, and I find the girls.

It does not take me long to find Kate, who was just standing in the Kitchen eating ice-cream. "Why didn't you hind Kate" I asked, and she just rolls her eyes and heads upstairs. Next, I find betty who was hiding in the bath in the bathroom, and now it was just Liz, but I could not find her. After a couple more minutes of looking around for her, I decided that I would give up. "Ok Liz, I give up" I shout from the sitting room, and I hear someone shout from outside and then the front door opening.

"Hey, that's cheating" Betty says, and Liz sticks out her tongue, "They never said where we couldn't hide" she says and just then my phone starts ringing and looks down to see my father's name. "I have to take this" I say to the girls before walking outside, but it wasn't my dad calling me, "So did you get it" I hear Nathan say from the other side. "Yeah, now I can go home" I say before hanging up, now I had to do the acting of my life ... be sad... Be sad ... be sad

"Hey" I say in a sad tune walking back into the house, "Is everything ok, Y/N" Liz asks me. "Yeah, my father is asking for me to come home" I say. "Wait why" Betty asks while Kate is sitting on the sofa watching me, "because he just broke up with Miss Parker and he wants me home" I say. I know I was lying but it was my escape plan, because I could not stay another moment in Kate's house. "Oh ok, well we'll see you in school on Monday Y/N" Kate says walking over and pulling me into a hug. I quickly grab my things before leaving the house, not looking behind me.

╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I spent what felt like hours thinking about what I was going to do, this decision could have been ten times easier if Peter had not sent me mixed signals. If only he could just tell me he liked me back so it would be easy, but I had to make this decision and now I had run out of time. The first option was telling Peter how I felt about him, but that had two outcomes with it. The first one would be that Peter does not like me back, and it makes it awkward and ruins our friendship, or that he could tell me that he liked me back and then I would not have to worry about ruining our friendship. And the second option would be not to tell Peter at all and do what the person wants.

I knew who was sending the messages, it does not take someone with more than two brain cells to figure out that it was Kate. But I just did not know why, she was the one who ended our friendship because I wanted to be friends with Peter and MJ. Plus, after everything that she did to MJ and after the whole canteen scene I do not think I would be friends with her anymore. But I knew Kate and that she would release everything that she had on me including the songs. I could not decide on what to do that I got so frustrated and threw my phone on my bed.

But I did not have to do both, what if I pretend to be friends with Kate until she gives me them back? So, she does not have anything to blackmail me with and I could make her pay for everything she had done. But I could not tell anyone my plan because Kate had people all over the place since she started to date Flash, so it could get back to her and ruin the plan, so I was all on my own. I texted Kate to meet me at the spot before school tomorrow, that we always went to when we were friends. You see the spot that I am talking about is a hidden pond that is in the park that Kate, MJ, and I found one summer.

We found it when we were in an exploring phase and wanted to explore the park and then it became the place we went to when one of us was upset. It was so pretty, it had trees that went all the way around it and there was a big rock that we sat on. We went there a lot the year that my mother passed away and when we stopped being friends with MJ. It did not take long before I got a text message back from her saying that she agreed and would meet me there at haft seven. So now the plan was in motion to pretend to be Kate's friend, now I just need her to believe that I wanted to be her friend again, especially after what happened outside the canteen. I headed to bed before I knew that I had a long day ahead of me tomorrow.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm clock going off and got ready to do the best acting of my life. I needed to seek out of my house without my father seeing; he was still babying me since the whole Washington accident happened. He has been dropping me straight to school every morning to make sure that I get there unharmed. But since him and Miss Parker have been seeing each other, Hes's attention is not really on me anymore. Which was the only good thing that come out of that weird relationship, I mean I happy for my dad, but did It have to be the boy I like aunty. That would make me and Peter.... I do not even want to think about that.

Anyway, moving on .... My father was out all night working in the restaurant, so I knew that he was going to be asleep. I went downstairs to see that everything was dark because the sun had not come up yet, I got to the door and was about to open it. "What do you think you are doing, Y/N" I hear my father say. I turned around with a smile on my face, "I was just going for a morning run before school, got to keep fit" I said hoping he would believe it but of course he didn't.

This is it; I know I said I did not want to tell anyone, but my father was not going to run to Kate and tell her everything. We had only just started to have a good relationship with him, and I did not want to ruin it by lying to him. So, I told him everything, well not everything ... from my fight with Kate, to my song book being stolen and it is having a song about a boy I like. He just stared at me as I was waiting for an answer, I mean I just came out to him.

"Y/N, Is the boy Peter?" he asked, and I just froze how did he know, "No... It is not" I try to lie because I did not want him to know. "Y/N, I can tell that you're lying to me" he says with a little giggle, "You have the same tell as your mother when she tried to lie" he says. "I don't have a tell" I don't know why I was still trying to cover it up, "You do, both of yous pick your nails when you lie" and I looked down to see I was doing it. "Sorry, I didn't want to make things awkward since you're dating Mrs. Parker" I say.

"You really like him, huh" he says, and I finally make eye contact with him for the first time since the conversation started. "Yeah" is all I could get out, "And your worried it will make it weird between everyone" he asked and all I did was nod. "Listen Y/N, I had my chance with my soulmate and if I could have her back in a heartbeat" he says, and I can see tears in his eyes, but he was not sad. "There is nothing romantic happening with May and I, and even if there was, I want you to have your time with your soulmate" he says.

"Thanks Dad, But I think he's straight, so nothing is going to happen" I say, "And how do you know that" he says grabbing my hand into his. "Because likes Liz" I said, and his face dropped a bit, "Well I think you should tell him, you'll be surprised" he says before walking out of the kitchen. "Also, I'll let you walk to school today; let you have your independence back" I heard him shout from the other room.

It was time to tell Peter everything, even if he did not like me back then at least he would know right?? I looked over at the clock to see that it was time to meet Kate. I grabbed all my things and headed out the door and towards the park, thinking about everything that Kate did makes my blood boil, but I needed to be calm for this. I finally got to the park and the sun was starting to come up so I could see better, I went to the pond to see that Kate was already sitting on the rock. She notices me and starts to walk towards me.

"I'm glad you came to talk Y/N, I really appreciate it" she says pulling me into a hug. "Yeah totally, not like you're blackmailing me or anything" he says under my breath. "Yeah, I feel like we ended things on the wrong foot last time" I say. We walked over to the rock, "So why did you do all this for Kate" I asked really trying to keep my cool. "Well, it's the only way I knew I could get your attention" she says before continuing "I don't want to not have you in my life Y/N, you mean everything to me" she says. Did she really think I was going to believe all this bullshit, "yeah, I don't want to ruin our friendship either" I reply trying not to scream at her. "And as your best friend, I should tell you that you need to stop whatever it is with Peter" she says, "I'm sorry what" here we go again with her trying to control my life.

"Y/N, if you want to be friends again, you can't be friends with him and MJ" she says, "And why would I do that" I say. "Well, I didn't want to do this but we both know I have the books" she says, "Well if I say it to him, you have nothing on me" I say with a smile. "Aw that's so sweet that you think that is the only thing that I have on you" she says with a devilish grin on her face. "What are you talking about" I was confused about what else she had on me, all I knew about was the books, "did little sweet Y/N, forget about what we did in the seventh grade" and it all hit me.

So let me set the scene for you ... It was the start of Seventh Grade, just after the summer that my mother passed away and I was not really in the mood for school. Having to hear about how everyone's amazing and fun summers went, while I was grieving about my mother passing away. And I did not want to become the kid that my parents passed away over the summer and everyone feels bad for me. I remember the first day because it felt like the whole school was looking at me, whispering about me and what happened. When really nobody knew what happened, but it just felt like everyone knew.

I was still mad at MJ, for just abounding me during the summer. According to Kate, she was to focus on her short story to be available for me, you see each year our school holds different competitions to show off the many skills that the student has. And there is a different price for each of them, and this year's prize for the best story competition was to get their short story published in the local New Paper front page. Which was a once in a lifetime opportunity, the principal was able to pull some strings, and she made it clear that this was a one-time thing because the school was one of the best.

So, Kate produced this plan, that we would make sure that MJ did not win. At first, I did not want to take part in it. But Kate made it clear that it would be unfair how MJ would get the chance of a lifetime and go on to do other things with the opportunity that she has. While I am here still upset about everything that happened. My anger had covered my judgement, and all I wanted was to make MJ feel what was close to what I was feeling.

So, the plan was that we would help Mr. Jacobson and volunteer to help collect all the short stories, and we would replace MJ's one with one that we would write. We just drafted a short story that did not make sense and we just had to wait for the winner to be announced. And in the end MJ did not win but it did not make me feel any better but worse, and I have felt guilty about it since that day, but I have been wanting to tell MJ since we became friends again, but I have been too afraid. And now Kate was using it against me and now I was stuck.

"Wow, you're a fucking bitch" I say, I was done holding in the anger because she was blackmailing me. "I know, so you're going to do as I said" she said with a smile. She explains everything that I must do, and if the wicked witch were real, she would be Kate. I took out my phone so that she would watch me, and I pulled up my conversation with Peter.

Me: Hey, can we talk at Lunch

New Message!

Peter: Yeah, I need to talk to you too

I know what you are thinking just tell Peter and MJ the truth and just pray that they forgive you, that would make things a lot easier, right? But what if they did not forgive me and I was left alone? It would be easier for them to forgive me for ignoring them then if they found out, all I needed to do was to make sure that if I did what Kate said that she would not go against her word and still release everything. So that just meant that I had to get something dirtier on her that she would not want to get out.

And as her old best friend you would think that I would have something juicer than what she had of me. But everything I had on Kate wasn't as good. I needed to get something that would stop Kate, and that would take time. Which sadly meant that I was going to have to spend as much time with Kate, and it just felt like God was punishing me.

We finished everything and started to head towards school, which Kate thought was the perfect time to get me updated on her and Flash relationship. And the whole time I was trying my best not to vomit from how disgusting it was especially when she was telling me about how flash was in bed. As we made it closer to the school, I could see MJ and Ned waiting for me outside of the school.

"Ignore them" I hear Kate say from my side, and I had to do as she said, and it was going to hurt to ignore them. As I got closer to the building, they both noticed me and were beginning to walk toward me until they saw that I was with Kate. I could see read Ned face because he just looked confused, but I could not read MJ at all, she was just giving me a blank look. I hated this; I hated that I had to ignore my friends. But I need to get dirt on Kate, but I need her to trust me, and I was going to get that by doing what she said.

We walked past both and just headed to the school and toward Kate locker, as she opened her locker I tried to see if my books were in there but there was no sign of them. "Do you think I'm that dumb Y/N" She turns around to me and looks at me, "Do you really think that I would just leave them there, I'm not stupid" she says before turning back around and grabbing the rest of her stuff. We headed towards my locker to see that MJ was standing there, as soon as she saw us, she headed down.

"Oh, hey MJ, how have you been" I hear Kate say, but MJ just ignores her and just looks at me as if she was reading me. "Whatever she has on you Y/N, it can't be that bad" she says to me, "I don't have anything on him, we just friends again aren't that right" she replies and nudges me in the side. I look at Kate and then at MJ, "Yeah" is all I can say. "I was there for him when his mother passed away unlike someone" she says and MJ just looks at me, "Are you really just going to forgive her for everything" MJ asks me. "Yeah" is all that I could get out again, "Fine, but when she stabs you in the back again don't come crawl back to me" she says before pushing back.

"Keep doing this and you might get one of your books back" she says as we head towards my locker, the entire day I was just thinking about what I was going to say to Peter. It was my free period before lunch at I was sitting outside with Kate and Nathan, and Nathan was just looking confused the whole time at me and Kate. Just then Kate phone went off, and she get up and says that she must meet Flash at his locker before walking off. He just stared at me the whole time, "Are you going to say something or just stare at me" I asked, and he breaks out of whatever thought he was having.

"Why" he says, "Why, what?" I asked him back because I was confused about what he meant. "Why are you friends with Kate again" he asked me. "Because I forgave her, that's why" I say, I did not want to tell him in case he went and told Kate because he is her little lap dog. "But she treated you like dirt" he says, "And she treats you like dirt too, but you stayed by her side" I say back hoping that it was the end of the conversation.

"But that is difference how" he says to me, "Different How?" I asked. "Oh, come on, everyone knows that I like her. Even she knows that and uses it knowing that even though she hurts me, I will still be by her side" he stops as he looks at the door that Kate disappeared through before turning back. "Plus, Kate told me everything that happened out here, so either she is holding something against you, or you bumped your head" he says, and I just stayed quiet. Just then the bell rings I remember that I must meet Peter at the canteen, "I have to go, I'll see you afternoon at Kate's, yeah?" I say before walking into the school.

I circled the canteen a couple of times; I was too nervous about what was about to happen. I finally got up the courage to go into the canteen, I walked in to see Peter waiting for me at the table. And I could also see Kate and Flash sitting at the table a couple of tables away, they noticed me, and Kate took out her phone and then my phone vibrated in my pocket to see the message saying that she would be watching.

Peter finally notices me, smiles, and waves at me, and I head towards Peter at the table. I sit down in the seat Infront of him, and we just sit there in silence. "I think we...." "I like..." we both start to talk at the same time and talk over each other, "You go first" he says to me. I felt myself beginning to sweat and from where I was sitting, I could see Kate staring at me. "I do not think... I do not think we should be friends anymore" I say and the smile on his face disappears, "wait, what... why" he says. "I just think it's for the best that we shouldn't be friends anymore" I say, "the best for who, because it isn't for me" he asked, and I could see that he was getting upset. Just then Flash walks over and sits beside me, "Y/N, Is Penis Parker annoying you" he asked

"Oh, so your friends with Flash now" he asked, and I just stay silent, not wanting to answer the 'question. "You don't want to be friends, but you'll be friends with a dickhead like flash" he asked. "I just think it's a good idea, I just need you to understand" I say, "Don't worry, I got the message loud and clear" he says getting up and walking away and I just watch as he goes over and sits where MJ and Ned were sitting.

Kate walks over and sits in front of Flash and I, "did you really have to send flash over" I asked. "Well, I could see that you were struggling, and Flash offered to help. I looked over to where Peter was sitting now and could see all of them staring at me, and I just wanted the ground to swallow me up. I spent the rest of the day just hating myself for upsetting him, I know I did not have a choice but was upsetting Peter worth him not finding out about my crush because either way he or he was not in my life anymore and I hated it. The one time that I am finally happy since my mother passing, it had to be ruined. Hopefully, I could get the dirt on Kate soon before it was too late, and this would have been all for nothing.

Now I was sitting in my last class, and the teacher decided to put on a movie, but I was too busy thinking about what I was going to do with Kate. I just needed a sign from God on where I could get this dirt, and then it was like God himself finally listened to me and the teacher announced we would be watching, then it hit me when the part of the movie where they were planning revenge on Regina. I was going to do what Candy did to Regina in mean girls, apart from the part of me turning into Kate at the end of the movie. I just had to get rid of everything that gave her power, and that was Nathan and Flash. If I got rid of them, Kate would not have anyone and would be defenseless

The bell, and I walked out of the class to see Nathan walking into the hallway. I honestly do not know why I didn't think about it, he was the closer to Kate apart from Flash and would know everything. Now I just needed a reason for him to ditch Kate, and just then I watched him bump into Betty and watch her getting all awkward around him, and if I knew anything from my whole experience with Peter. I knew what someone with a crush on someone and gets all awkward around looks like because I was walking example. Then when I got him out of Kate's hold, I just needed to focus on Flash.

"OOOH, someone has a crush" I say, she looks at me like a deer in headlights. "No, No I don't" she says. "Girl, If I know anything, it when someone acts awkward when they like someone" I say. "Well, everyone knows that he likes Kate" she says, "What if I told you that it wasn't completely true" I say and her face lights up. "Maybe I could put in a good word for you" I say. Just then Liz runs over to us with the biggest smile on her face, "Someone is happy" Betty says to her. "That's because I was just asked out to homecoming" she says, "Oooh who's the lucky guy?" I asked.

"Peter just asked me out there" she says and they both squeak like schoolchildren, which they are. And my heart hurt but I put on a fake smile. "Oh, I'm so happy for you Liz" I say, "Anyway I got to go, Betty gets ready to go to date with Nathan" I say before walking off. Now I just need Nathan to agree to it, and if it did not work then my plan was not going to work so it had to work. Now it was ready to put step one into action.

But was there really a point to it all anymore, Peter had moved on.

Maybe so should I?

╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

After everything that happened in Washington and me nearly dying, my father has not let me out of his sight. It has been a week now and he has dropped me at school and collected me and I need to get permission from him when I leave the house. I know he is heart is in the right place, but it is so fucking annoying, I honestly surprise he did not get me a bodyguard. Also, Spider-Man came to my house a couple of times to apologizing to me. One of the times he showed up during the middle of the night, and just hugged me for a couple of minutes and cried. MJ has been apologizing as well because she made me go up when I wanted to stay with her. But I have assured her that she had nothing to apologize for and that she would not have known. And of course, Flash made the whole thing about him and how his best friend Spider-Man saved him and did an exclusive interview with the school media and made him sound like a hero when he in fact is nothing but a selfis- we will not get into that. Now we were less than 2 weeks away from homecoming and I honestly did not want to go, I mean there is only one reason I would go, and he is into someone else.

I have tried to get more along with Liz since she helped me with my panic attack, and even though I hate to admit it, I do think he and Peter would be great together. Well not as good as Me and Peter but it would be a close second. Now I just had to pretend like I did not like Peter like I was doing now while we were finishing our project in my house because we were going to present it tomorrow. I was a nervous wreck while Peter was so calm and collective. I would catch him staring at me sometimes with a smile on his face, and a part of me just wanted to ask him but the other part wanted to just move on with it all. We finished the project and my father offered Peter to stay for dinner, well we would be going to the restaurant. My father really likes Peter because he thinks that he will be a good person in my life.

"Why don't you invite her up for food" he says with a smile, I look at Peter and he just shrugs at me, he takes his phone out of his pocket and calls his aunt. "Hey May, Y/N's father invited us for dinner to his restaurant" he said, I couldn't hear what she was saying but when Peter smiled it meant that she agreed. We finished and got into the car to go collect Miss Parker before we went. She came out in a dress and looked like she put some makeup on, she got into the car. "Y/N, you didn't tell me you had an older brother" she says in a weird voice in a sexual way, "I actually Y/N's father" he says, and May looks at him shocked. They spend most of their car ride talking about different things, and I swear my father was trying to flirt back sometimes. Peter and I just looked at each other confused about what was happening.

I was happy that my father was moving on, I been pushing him more to put himself out there. I will be going to college in the next couple of years and the thought of him being here by himself made me sad. But why did it have to be Peter's Aunt May? We finally made it to the Restautant, and the flirting got worse, they decided that they wanted to be own their own table so they could talk about "Adult Stuff" and made me, and Peter go to the children's table. Which I did not mind because it meant that I could spend time together, "Well I guess they're going on a date now" Peter said with a laugh, "Yeah, I guess so" I said with a giggle.

"Well maybe we can go on a date" I hear Peter say and my body goes into shock, I could say anything all I could do was stare at him. "What... did you say" was all that I was able to get out after a few seconds of silence. "Oh... I meant like a date like a friend date" he said and just like that it felt like I was just stabbed in the heart, and it hurt so much. But I could not let Peter know that, so I just put a fake smile on and moved forward. "Yeah, sounds fun" I said with a fake smile hiding all the pain that I was feeling from the friend comment.

We walked over to the table and Peter rushed over to me and pulled out my chair for me, "Just because it is a friend date does not mean I should not be a gentleman. I sat down and he pushed my chair in. I have never been on a date before but damn this was the best one I have ever been on ... even if it was just a friend's date. We spend most of the night talking about Star Wars, to the avengers, to his apprenticeship with tony Stark and then Spider-Man.

"What are your thoughts on Spider-Man" he asked me, "I mean he saved my life so I would say he is a great superhero" I say. "But I was thinking about something" I say to him putting down my slice of pizza, "So Spider-Man is New York based right?" I say and Peter just nods in response. "Well, the one time he's seen outside of New York is in DC when we have the decathlon" I say, and I look at Peter and he gives me a weird look as if he is holding in a fart. "What are you trying to say" he asked me, "Well Spider-Man goes to our school and maybe is in the decathlon team" I say and Peter chokes on his pizza. And I was wondering because you work with Stark that you would know him. "Why" he asked, "Well... I wanted to see maybe if he would want to go on a date with me" I say. Believe me I did not want to go on a date with Spider-Man, he is not Peter and that who I like. I was doing what MJ told me to do and to make him jealous.

"What, you want to... Go on a date with him?" he says almost stuttering over his words. "Yeah, we've talked a couple times and he seem really nice" I say keeping eye contact with him to see if I could read how he was feeling but I could not tell, he still looked like he was holding in a fart. "You don't even know what he looks like, he could be ugly underneath" he says a little defensively, "Well Peter Luckily for me, I don't care about looks it's all about personality" I say with a smile. I look at Peter's face and he looks upset, could it be working but then a smile appears on his face. "Yeah, I can do that for you" he says. "Lucky for you, I have gotten really close with him and I will be happy to let him know" he says, the rest of the night we just talked about other stuff including the Homecoming dances that were coming up, and that he might ask Liz out, which just made me jealous, but I could not let him know that, so I just played along. "Maybe, I could put in a good word for you since you're doing the same thing" I say with my well-practiced fake smile, and he smiles back at me. And we just smiled at each other till it was time to go and we headed home. I try asking my father how he is date with May went but he would not tell me and made me go straight to bed.

I went to bed and listened to my favorite podcast until I fell asleep, I woke up to the sound of pouring rain and lighting. I looked at the clock to see that it was 3am in the morning, I was about to go back to sleep when I heard a knock on my window. I ignored it and then tried to go back to sleep but then it happened repeatedly, so I angrily got out of bed and went over to my window. I open them to see Spider-Man hanging at my window, so I open it, "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING HERE IT'S 3AM" I quietly shout at him, so I do not wake up my father. "Could you maybe let me in then give out to me please" he says and then a lightning flashed in the sky, "yeah, come in" I say walking away from the window so that he could climb in. He climbs into the room and does not say anything, just walks around until he spots my song book. "I see you still write songs" he says, "Yeah, I have but I haven't written one in a while" I say walking over and taking the book off the desk.

"How come you haven't" he asked me to sit down at the chair at my desk, I been stuck on a song I have the lyrics but not the melody. "Can I hear some of it" he says, and I just look at him, "Please" he says after a moment of silence. "Ok, but I can't look at you as I do it" I say turning around and picking a part of the song to sing to him. I close my eyes and take a deep breath before starting.

"There I was again tonight Forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you" 

This versus perfect describes my night with Peter, after I did it, I wait to hear something from Spider-Man. But he does not say anything, and I start to get nervous, so I turn back around to see him just staring at me. We stared at each other for a while before I decided to break the silence, "Not to be rude, but why are you here" I asked. And it is like he finally realized what was happening and quickly stood up and walked over to me. "About that...I got a pretty interesting text off Peter tonight" he says, and I just look at him. "And..." I asked waiting for him to say what he needed to say. "Well... he told me that you had a crush on me" he says, I completely forgot that I said that, and I did not think he would tell Spider-Man. "Oh...he did?" is all that I could get out, still in shock that Peter told him, this was the sign that I needed to move on. "Yeah, And I really appreciate but."

Was Spider-Man about to reject me about my fake crush on me, what the fuck... I know I made it up but damn it still hurt. "I just see you as a friend" he says. Guess now I needed to act, "Wait what" I say acting upset, "I can't believe this" I say with tears in my eyes. All the years of learning how to fake cries from YouTube videos were finally paying off. "I'm sorry, I didn't want to upset you" he comes over and hugs me. "You'll find someone much better than me" he says, "Like who" I say still fake crying. "Well, that Peter kid seems good" he said. I stopped fake crying and looked at Spider-Man, "What" I said, "I said what about that Peter kid" he says again. "He likes someone else" I say, and Spider-Man walks over to the open window and begins to climb out, "You sure about that" is all he says before climbing out the window. I walked over to my bag and put both my song book into my bag, so they were more hidden.

I spend most of the night thinking about what Spider-Man said until I fell asleep at about 5am. Until I woke again but this time my name was being screamed. "Y/N, Y/N, Y/N" I hear someone shout and it get louder until my bedroom door swung open. "Y/N L/N, GET UP NOW YOU ARE LATE FOR SCHOOL" my father shouted at me, and I look at the clock to see that it was 10am ... TEN FUCKING IN THE MORNING!!!! FUCK I GONNA BE LATE FOR MY PRESENTATION AT HAFT TEN. I quickly got dressed and saw all the missed calls and texts from Peter asking where I was... I texted him that I was on the way and to meet me at my lockers. I quickly got into my father's car, we headed to the school, and I did not even wait for the car to stop before I jumped out of it, and I could hear my father giving out to me as I quickly ran in with the project. I ran to my locker and quickly turned the corner and I bumped into someone; why am I always bumping into people. I looked up to see that it was Kate and she just looked at smiled at me, "I'm so sorry, Y/N" she says getting up for the floor and putting her hand out to help me up.

"I hope we can put everything behind us and be friends again" she said with the most fake-ish smile ever. Kate forgets that I have known her all her life, so I know when she is being fake. So, I did the only thing I could do and that was be fake back, "Oh yes, totally I'm so happy that we can be friends again" I said with a fake smile. I should be getting an Oscar with all this acting I have been doing the last 24hrs, I should be an actor when I am older if music does not work out. I pick up my stuff and give her one last time, "Well we should totally catch up soon" I say before slowly walking away. I could feel her death stare at the back of my head as I was walking away, and I turn the corner to see Peter.

"Omg, thank god Y/N" he quickly rushes over, "I thought you were to upset to come in because Spider-Man turned you down" he says rushing me over to my locker. I started throwing everything that was in my bag and put it into my locker, I wasn't even looking at what I was putting in because I was thinking about what Peter said. "Wait, how did you know he rejected me" I asked, and I could see that Peter started to panic, "We do not have time for this ... we have a presentation to do" he is saying grabbing the project off me and grabbing my hand and running to the class. Thank God, we just made it on time, and we did it with success and not to blow my own horn, but it was fucking amazing, and we walked out of class with an A. "We need to celebrate this A" I say to Peter as we walk down the corridor. "We should get milkshakes" he says stopping me in the corridor and shaking me with excitement, "ok, we can get milkshakes" I giggle.

Ned runs up to us and links arms with Peter and Me, "So are we going to the homecoming together?" he says. "Peter is asking Liz" I say, and Ned looks shocked. "What really Peter, that's so cool" he says, "Actually..." and then I freeze when I notice something. "Y/N, what wrong" Peter says, and they both look at what I am looking at to see that my locker has been broken into. I rush over to it seeing what has been taking, "Where is it, where is it" I say taking everything out of the locker and throwing it onto the floor. "What's wrong" I hear Ned say but I was too busy panicking. I could feel myself having another panic attack, and my arms being gripped me, and they took me to the bathroom and saw that it was Peter. "Y/N, look at me" he says, and I look at him, but I could feel my chest getting heavy.

"Breathe In, Breathe Out, Breathe In, Breathe Out" he says with a calming voice, and I do as he says. Something about Peter voice was so calm and helped me. I feel myself calming down, "Thanks so much Peter" I said walking over to sink and sit down. "No bother, after you had your first one, I asked Liz was I would do if it happened again" he says sitting down beside me. Just as he sat downside me my phone in my pocket went off and I took it out to see a message from an unknown number.

New Message!

"Secrets cannot stay secrets forever"

"Do as I say, and We won't have a problem"

I could feel my chest beginning to pick up again and my breathing was going out of control and Peter could notice too. "Y/N, what's wrong" he says, I did not answer and began to get my backpack and begin to walk out of the bathroom, but I was stopped by Peter grabbing my arm. "Please tell me what is wrong, I want to help" he says, "I just need to be alone right now, you need to focus on asking Liz out anyway" I say, and he lets go of my arm when I say that. I did not bother to stay for any reaction and left the bathroom and headed towards the main entrance, I could hear my name being called by MJ and Ned, but I did not stop, I decided to go to the place that I go where I go when I am upset. And now I was standing in front of my mother's grave.

"I'm sorry that I only visited you when I'm upset, you're the only one I can talk to about this stuff" I say sitting Infront of her grave with some flowers. "A lot has happened in the last 24hrs, and I really wish you were here to give me some advice" I started to feel the tears fill in my eyes. I told her about everything from my fight with Kate and becoming friends with MJ, that I knew that she would be happy about. And how father has been incredibly supportive lastly but has also been extremely strict after what happened in DC. "I know it because he loves me but damn, I need some independence" I say with a giggle, also that I was turned down by a guy I did not like, that I liked Peter that she would really like. I did not even notice how long it was until I got a text from my father asking me if I wanted a lift, but I told him that I would walk home.

Just as I texted him back, I started to hear some footsteps coming from behind me, I turn around to see Peter with flowers. "What are you doing here" I asked him, and he just stood beside me and put the flowers on the grave, "I didn't want to leave you upset, so I went to your house to see if you were here, but you weren't" he says. "How did you know that I was here" confused because I never told him where my mother was buried. "MJ" is all he said, "I hope you don't mind me coming, I didn't want come empty handed, and I remember you saying these were her favorite" he says handing me the flowers. "Peter, you didn't have to" I say to him putting the flowers with my ones, "They are beautiful, thank you" I say pulling him to a side hug.

I spent some time telling Peter stories about my mother and vice versa, it was nice having Peter here, it weirdly made me feel more comfortable. "Oh, Peter is going to ask his crush Liz out to homecoming" I said to my mother grave. "Actually, I don't think I will" he says looking down at the ground, "wait why" I turned to him, but he will not look up to me. "Because I.." Just before he could say anything my phone started to ring in my pocket, "Sorry, just need to take this" I got up and walked away from the grave.

"Hey, what's up" I say as I answer the phone call, "What's this about leaving school early" he asked me with a bit of anger but also concern in his voice. "Sorry I had a panic attack, and just needed to be with her right now" I say. He told me to head home and that we would talk about it when I am home, we say our goodbyes before I hang up.

I started to walk back to Peter when I heard him talking but he was not on the phone, he was talking to my mother. I could not hear exactly what he was saying because he was whispering and when I got close enough to listen, he stopped. "Talking to my mother" I asked him, and he quickly jumped, "oh yeah, just some advice" he says standing up. "Well, she good at advice so whatever she said it good" I said with a giggle. "Anyway, my father needs me home so I think I should go" I say picking up my stuff. "Can I walk your home" he asked, and I could not help but smile. I guess becoming friends with Peter was better than not having him in my life, we spent the time walking home playing eye spy. Until it started to rain, and I did not have a coat, so Peter took his hoodie off and handed it to me. "No thanks, it's yours" I said. "I wasn't asking" he said with the most serious face, it was kind of scary but kind of hot.

I put the hoodie on, and we continued the journey, we just walked in silence, but it was not an awkward silence but a comfortable one. We finally made it to my house, and I was beginning to take the hoodie off, but Peter stopped me, "Keep it" he says to me, "But it's raining Peter, you need something" I say. "So... you look better it in it" he says, and I definably could feel myself blushing. "Well, I see you in school tomorrow" I say, and it looked like he was about to say something but quickly changed his mind. "Yeah" he said looking disappointed in himself. He pulls me into a tight hug that lasted for a good few seconds before he lets go and just stares at me before just walking off.

I walked into the house to see my father waiting for me in the kitchen, "So you want to explain what that hug was" he says. I will explain everything that happened from the song book, my crush on Peter, the book going missing the first time and then the second time. I did not tell him about the message because I wanted to deal with it myself, if they did have it. They would release everything that was in it. Plus, I needed to figure it out who it was, and get it done with something happening. We have dinner before I head upstairs to my room and put the hoodie that Peter gave me on my desk. Then my phone vibrated again so I took it out and saw that it was unknown again.

New Message!

"Ditch Peter or else he finds out"

"And I will be watching to make sure" 

FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

The last week of my life has been the most normal it has ever been since my mother passed away, of course I was still fighting with Kate and the note of locker but its be radio silence with them. And plus, everyone knows that Flash is all talk no action, the number of times he said he would do something and then does not is in the millions. I spent most of the week either studying with MJ and Ned or hanging around with my father, and now I was in the car on the way to school so I could go on a DC with the decathlon team for the tournament. During the car ride with my father, I got every talk that you could imagine which include sex, drugs, and alcohol and among more and so I had to remain him that it was a school event with all nerds.

We finally arrived at the school just as my father finished the birds and the bees talk while Taylor swift played in the background. I tried to quickly get away, before he could give me another talk that was not needed for this event, but I was quickly pulled into the tight hug. My father has been paranoid all week about me going away, he was worried that something bad would happen to me and he would lose me like my mother. But I assured him that nothing would happen and that I would keep him updated all weekend, and that I would get him something nice from DC.

"Now you better keep me updated, let me know when you get there" he shouts at me as I walk away, "I will, don't worry" I replied. I noticed that MJ and Ned were looking toward me at the bus and MJ had a big smug grin on her face, "Bye Mr. L/N" she says as she waves at him. "Bye Michelle, make sure Y/N calls me will you" he asked before getting in the car and she gives me a nod. I look over to see a very confused Ned, "How come he can call you Michelle, and I can't" he asked, "Well that's because I like him" she says with an evil grin. "So does that mean I can call you Michelle, Michelle?" I asked with just got an evil look from her that send shrives down my spine.

But that was our friendship, MJ was just that type of person who came across imitating at first but once you got to know her, she was really caring and kind. She acted mean but was not, whereas Kate acted mean and was mean, do not get me wrong she did have her good bits, but it was always at a cost. We were about to get onto the bus when Flash stuck his head out of a window, "Now Y/N, you can sit and just look pretty and let the smart ones do all the work" he said. Flash never really got over the whole ego knockdown and is trying to get me back and if this was what he meant with the note, then I really did have nothing to worry about. "Damn Flash, what would Kate think about you hitting on me" I playfully say to him. He did not like that at all and tried to produce something but could not, so he just stuck his head back it. 

All I could do was laugh, Flash was like one of them small dogs that would bark loud and you get scared until you see what they look like. Just then Mr. Harrington came off the bus "Great everyone is here, time to go" he says handing me a blazer that had the school logo on it. We all began to get into the bus when I noticed something running towards us, and as it got closer, I noticed that it was Peter running towards us. "Is that Peter" Ned said getting off the bus then I could hear Flash making a stupid joke as he always does and then MJ roasting him. I walked towards Peter who was now squatting down out of breath. "What are you doing here" I asked him while handing him the bottle of water from my bag.

He takes the bottle and drinks all of it in one go before handing it back to me, "Thanks for the bottle back" I jokily say. "Sorry, I had to run from my apartment to here" just then I hear a pair of footsteps and then " Yo Penis Parker, what are you doing here" he says, and I give him one of the evil looks that MJ been teaching me. "I'm here to join back the team" he says, and the smile of Flash face from his "good" name calling disappears. "Well, the team is full so bye" he says before grabbing my arm and pulling me to the bus.

"You have 3 seconds to get your hands off me, 1....2" I said, and he quickly let go and headed toward the bus. Just a few seconds later Flash came back off the bus with Mr. Harrington with him, "Flash told me you wanted to join back the team" he says. "Damn didn't know Randall was coming" I say which gets a laugh from Peter, Peter and I have been watching a lot of Recess lately. To be honest we have been spending a lot of time together since the night I stayed over, which is good and a terrible thing. Good because I get to spend a lot of time with him but bad because my feelings are getting a lot stronger. With all the feeling it helped me finish my song "Enchanted," well I have all the lyrics just not the melody yet. Peter has been teaching me how to play guitar but without the kissing part. I do not regret telling him that the kiss did not mean anything, yes it did mean something to me, but I did not want to ruin our friendship that was just beginning.

"Yes Sir" he says looking down at the ground as if he was a child that just got told off by his parents, "he can have my spot, I was just keeping his seat warm anyway" I say handing him my blazer. "There is no need to do that Y/N, he can just take Flash's spot" he said and told flash to give Peter his blazer before both got on the bus. "Thanks for getting me on the team, Y/N" He said, "But I didn't do anything" I said confused and he just laughed and walked towards the bus. When we got on the bus, there were just two seats left at the back of the bus, and I saw MJ sitting beside Ned, that never happens so I knew she was trying to get me to sit with Peter.

But I just decided to sit by myself just do some writing, I started to watch some YouTube videos about music writing until I started to feel myself dozing off. I looked like one of them baby video where the baby falls asleep at the dinner table but wakes them up when their head goes down. I wake up to the sound of someone laughing and open my eyes to see peter on the other side of the bus, he was recording me. "HEY" I tried to give him the scary look that I gave Flash, but I was too tired to do it. "I'm sorry but you looked so cute, and it was funny" he says putting his phone down. I just gave him a look of pity to deleting the video, but he would not.

"I'm not going to delete it, but I have a way to make it up" he says taking off his blazer and putting it onto his lap. "Lay down and use this as a pillow" he says, and I could not stop myself from blushing at the thought of laying down on his lap. He jesters me to come over to him, I was too tired to overthink it and just get up and go over and lay down putting my legs on the seat I was on. Just as I was falling asleep, I thought back to what Peter said, wait did he call me cute and then I was out cold.

I woke up to the feeling that someone was watching me, and I open my eyes to see that I was facing Peter chest. I looked up to see Peter staring back at me with a smile on my face, he finally noticed that I was awake and quickly looked out of the window, but I was still waking up, so I did not think anything of it and just got up. "How long was I out" I ask trying to stretch as much as possible while sitting down, but he did not answer me and just continued to look out the window. Then I heard my name being screamed out by one of my fellow teammates, "Hey Y/N awake" I looked around to see who it was to see that everyone was staring at me and Peter. "We are playing Truth or Dare, and Peter didn't want to play until you awake up" Betty said, I look back over at Peter who was still staring out the window, but I could see in the reflection that he looked like he was in deep thought. 

"I think I'll pass, but thanks for the offer" I said walking back over to my seat and taking out my song book. "Aw, Y/N is just a chicken" Flash says and starts making chicken noises, "Fine but I'm going first" I said annoying because I let Flash get under my skin. "Oh, let the fun begin" flash said, "Flash, Truth or Dare," "Truth" he says. "Why did you leave that not on my locker" I asked, he had to say it. "What note" he says looking confused, "Don't play dumb, you left a note on my locker after I embarrassed you in the meeting" I said getting more annoyed now that he was playing dumb. "I honestly don't know what you're talking about" he says and for the first time, I believed him because when Flash does something he owes up to it. "ok" I say sitting back in my seat, now Peter was looking at me again with a look of worry. 

We played a few more rounds until it was Betty turn, "Peter, Truth or Dare" she asked him. Peter was brought out of thought, "Emm, truth" he says unsure about it, "Do you have a crush on anyone" she says. Peter's face quickly starts to blush, I look at him and then over at Liz who now has a smile on her face. "Emm..." is all that he could get out, "Now remember you must be truthful" she says, "Yeah" he quickly said then looks at Liz but then at me. "Are they on this bus" she asks, "Hey, one question at a time" Ned quickly chines in. "Ok, next time then" she says sitting down. I knew that Peter had a crush on Liz, and the way he talked about her and looked at her, he was talking about her. 

Just then Mr. Harrington sits up, "Ok we are here, so I'm going to call out the rooms" he says taking out a list. He called out everyone names, Liz was with Betty, MJ was with Lisa then he said something that was a sign from the gods. "Y/N, you will be with .... Peter" he says, and I got excited at the thought of a sleepover with Peter. "Sir is it ok if Y/N and Ned swap" Peter asked, and my heart dropped when he said that I could ever look at him. He just let me sleep on his lap but now suddenly. 

"I promise his mother, I'd make sure he takes his medication" he added, and I see Ned give him a confused look. I got off the bus and I guess I looked upset because MJ walked over to me, "What was that all about" she asked, and I just shrug my shoulders. "I do not know; it is all just confusing. One minute he wants me to sleep on his lap, next he produces some excuses to swap rooms. Thankfully I do not get put with Flash but with another boy on the team, we get up to the room and Liz wants us to meet at dinner so that we can practice tomorrow. At the dinner peter is being really distance, he and Ned sit off at a table talking in secret. "What you think" I hear Liz say to me. "Huh" I say turning my attention back to her. "I'm saying that the team should all go for a swim to help with tomorrow, I saw it in a ted talk" she says, but I stop listening again thinking about everything that happened today with Peter. "Yeah, sounds good" I say without thinking or knowing what she said. "Great see you then" she says before getting up and walking away. 

Then something hit my shoulder and I look to see an angry MJ, "You do know what you agreed to" she says. "Mayb... nope" I said grabbing my empty plate and heading towards the cleaning station to leave your plate. "Well, you just agreed to a late-night swim with the team" she said, "What, I can't swim MJ" I say. "I know, this will be fun" she says with a smile, and we head up to her room and wait for the knock to tell us its time. MJ and I spent the time  watching Hunger Games with comments from MJ saying that this should be a real thing. We get through the first movie and haft way through the second one when we hear a knock on the door. And we open the door to see everyone waiting in their swimming stuff, "Now we just have to get Ned and Peter" Liz says with excitement, a little too excited. 

We finally got close to Peter's room, and I spotted him coming out of it, I told them to wait there so we do not make too much noise. As I get closer, I see that Peter is not in his swimming truck, but it is a hoodie and jeans, he finally notices me and gets a bit of a fright. "Oh, hey Y/N ... and Liz" he says, and I look behind me to see an excited Liz. I tried my best not to roll my eyes and just put my attention back to Peter, "Great timing, we were about to knock at your door" I said and was butted over by Liz. "Yeah, we are about to go swimming" she says, and waves and I hear everyone, and they run pass us and Flash spanks Peter on the ass. "So, are you coming?" I asked hoping he would say yes, "I was .... I was going to go study in the ... in the business center" he said. I could tell something was off because I have noticed Peter gets jittery when he is nervous.

"You don't need to study; you are like the smartest guy I have ever meet" Liz says and honestly fuck rolling my eyes I was about to get sick with this cheesy line of Liz. "She's right though, you don't need to study" I added. I zooned out because I was getting angry with this interaction between Peter and Liz, he was looking at her like I looked at him. It was clear the person on the bus that he was talking about was Liz and not me. Why would it be me, I was brought out of thought when Liz threw a bar at Peter before dragging me off to the others. I could help but look back at Peter who was just standing there looking back at me, I knew that it was time that I got over him finally. 

But Peter never showed up to the late swim, even though I really did not want to go it was really fun. I spent most of the night with MJ and Betty trying to teach me how to swim. Well, I should say Betty tried to help me as MJ just called out supportive things from the sidelines as she read her book. We all said goodnight and headed upstairs to bed, I stopped by Peter and Ned's room to check on them since they never came down with us. I knocked on the door, but no one came to it, so I knocked again and still nothing. They must have headed to bed early, I guess. I head down to my room; we have a busy day tomorrow. 

THE NEXT DAY

 wake up to the sound of Mr. Harrington knocking on my door, giving us a ten-minute warning that we are leaving soon. I get up and get dressed in the uniform that everyone must wear on the team and get all my things ready and head out to the bus. Everyone starts showing up one by one and Ned walks out by himself without Peter. He tells us that Peter had some family stuff that he had to deal with, but I do not remember Peter ever mentioning that he had family out here, but he says he will meet us at the decathlon. We spent the bus ride testing each other and Flash demanding that if Peter does not show up that he should have his spot back, and Mr. Harrington agrees to that deal. We get to the decathlon, and they tell us that we must turn our phones off, which is bad because me and Ned try to ring Peter, but he did not answer and now Flash to go on with us. We go on and it is Me, Flash, MJ, Liz and Ned and we all answer questions to get our teams some points, until we get to the final question;

The room got quiet as everyone was trying to figure out the answer before everyone else. Then I hear a buzzer and our school's name being called out and I look up to see that MJ has buzzed in. "Zero" is all that she says, and the room goes quiet again waiting to hear if she was correct or not. "Correct" the women says and it hit us, WE WON, WE ACTUALLY WON. We all got so excited that we all started to hug each other, well everyone but me and Flash. Mr. Harrington decide that we would celebrate the win by going to the Washington Monument, MJ did not want to go up because it was built by slaves, so I decide to stay with her, but she told me to go up because she knew that it was a dream of mines to visit it. As we walked into the building Ned took out his phone and started to call someone, I heard him say Peter's name and then he began to whisper. "Hey, is that Peter" I say walking over to Ned, nods to me so I take the phone off him.

"Peter, What the fuck" I said to him on the phone, "Y/N, Put Ned back onto the phone please its important" he says, "Not until you tell me where you are and why you been acted different" I asked. He ignores the question that I just asked and asks me to put Ned onto the phone. But before I could say anything Liz took the phone, took the phone and I put it into the scanner and onto the elevator. And of course, Flash had to make one of his smart comments, "Can I be the one to tell Peter he's expelled" he said, and I could not help it but hit him on the head and pretend that I did not do it. Which of course did not work, and I got into trouble. 

As we went up the tour guide told us some facts about the Washington Monument that were not that interesting. Just then there is a loud bang, and the elevator stops. "What the fuck was that" I asked, which of course I got into more trouble for cursing. Ned throws his bag onto the floor, and we can see that it is burning, then we all look up at the ceiling and it looks like it was cut through with a laser. And that is when the whole elevator started to panic, of course not me... Man who am I kidding, I've never been more frightened in my life. "This is Flash's fault" I scream, and he looks at me, "How?" he shouts at me, "I don't know but I know you have something to do with it" I shout back at him. The tour guide women tell us to calm down and that the safety system are working, and that we are safe in here AS IF THAT GOING TO KEEP US CALM BRENDA WTF!!! Like does she think we are stupid, we are in an elevator that could collapse at any time, and she tells us we are safe. Again, may I say .... WHAT THE FUCK BRENDA!

And the worst thing that could happen was I started to have a bad panic attack, I could feel my chest collapsing and my breath begin to be increasing up. "Y/N having a panic attack" I hear betty says, and I feel a hand on me and look up to see Liz. "Y/n, look at me breath In and Out," I hate that out of everyone that could be helping me that it was Liz. I wanted to hate her for being the one that Peter liked but I could not, I started to breathe in and out just like she said, and it was starting to work. Brenda then opened the emergency door on the roof and started to climb out of it, and I could see that they had people at the elevator door waiting to help us. They started to get us off one by one, my breathing started to pick up again and Liz helped me focus again, of course Flash had to be next and pushes pass everyone with the trophy and climbs up. With all his movement the elevator dropped down and my breath was back and there was no stopping it. I was too deep into the panic attack, I was about to die, I should have listened to my father when he told me that something might happen. Then the cable that was holding up the elevator snapped and dropped, and I thought I was about to pass out. 

But then it stopped, I looked around to see Ned, Liz and Mr. Harrington were left in the elevator. OMG IT STOPPED!!! And just as though they God hated me it began to drop again and then SPIDER-MAN!! LET ME REPEAT THAT!!! SPIDER-MAN fell into the elevator. He shoots a web out and the elevator stops but let us be real he cannot hold an elevator with five people for too long, I've honestly accepted death at this point and the fact that Flash got to survive pissed me off. He goes flying and stops himself on the roof and does this weird New York accent that he did not do the last time I meant him. Ned started to jump around, and Spider-Man gave out to him and which I would have found funny if I were not having a panic attack. 

He starts to get everyone off, starting with Mr. Harrington first and he just left us in the elevator, then Ned and Liz. Just Liz gets off the elevator and to save the web snap and the elevator drops, and I froze as I watch myself drop down. I close my eyes and wait for it, but it doesn't come, and I feel like I am hanging. I open my eyes to see that Spider-Man had a web around my hand and has saved me. I finally got to safety and had a checkup with the doctors on site. Of course, when I got out MJ ran over to me and pulled me into a tight hug.

I hear my name being called and I look up to see Peter running towards me, he pulls me into a tight hug, and I hear him say something. "I thought I lost you, I was so scared" as he kept me in the hug. The bus ride home was the quickest we have ever been, we were all process what just happened, we get to the school, and I get off the bus to see Aunt May and my father talking to each other until the notice us, my father run over and pulls me into a hug and tell me I am never allowed to go on a trip again and we head home.

╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I did not sleep much that night after getting food with Aunt May and Peter; my mind was just all over the place trying to figure out everything that happened. All I could think about was what happened at Peter's and how he acted after it. All these questions were rushing through my mind, and they would not leave. Was Peter just playing dumb and he knew what happened as well or was it all in my head and nothing happened? It had been a couple of days since that, and I decided to go to school early so that I could get some stuff done for school. Peter hadn't been in since that day and I was starting to get worried that I had something to do with it.

My first two classes were weird, Kate would not sit with me and was sitting with Flash and would ignore me and I did not know why. Now I was walking into my third class of the day, which was science, the teacher was giving us the class to plan out our project and because Peter was not in, I was left to do it by myself. I felt so lonely, with Kate ignoring me and Peter not being in. My phone buzzed and I took it out to see a text message from MJ, I was happy to have MJ back in my life.

New Message!

MJ: Hey, Are you free next class

Me: Yes, why

MJ: Want to get breakfast with me

Me: Sure, sounds fun

MJ: Great, I will meet you outside your class

For the rest of the class, I just focus on doing research for what the project could be. I saw something about how different music influences how planets grow. I love music and it would be fun to mix them both, now I just need to get Peter on bored if he ever came in. The bell rang to tell us that class was over, and it was time to meet up with MJ and go get some food.,

I walked out of the class to see MJ waiting for me, I walked over to her, but I was pulled to the side by Kate. "What are you doing" she demanded, "oh, now you want to talk to me, after ignoring me all morning," I asked. She does not say anything but looks over at MJ, Now I knew what she was talking about. "What? We are friends again and she does not ignore me all morning for no reason" I say, and it was like I had just stabbed her in the back with the look that she gave me. "Well do I need to remind you why we hanging around with her," she says giving me a look of anger. "I was never told why we stopped, And I don't recall having to ask you for permission about who I can be friends with" I comment. I was getting a bit sick of HOW controlling Kate could be sometimes, but I would always push it to the side because we have been friends forever. Why does she think she gets to ignore me and then tell me what I can do.

"Well, she hurt me and that's all you need to know. Plus, she ignored you when your mother died, what kind of a friend does that" she explains. "Well, she apologized for it, and you did the same thing today," I told her, which she did not like because she gave me one of her famous "You've pissed me off" faces and just walked off. I walked over to MJ, and she gave me a confused look. "You don't even want to know," I say to her and link our arms together. We headed towards the exit of the school, but we were stopped by someone calling MJ's name. We turned around to see Liz standing at the end of the corridor.

"MJ, did you forget that we have a decathlon meeting," she says waving at her to come over, I hear her sign loud and pull me towards her. "If I have to suffer, so do you," she says as we get closer to Liz. "Oh, hey Y/N are you joining because we are down two people now," she says. I was about to reject her offer, but MJ hit me on the side before I could say anything. "He would love to," she says with a fake smile, and Liz smiles at me before walking into the room. MJ was about to walk in after her but then I pulled her back in. "what was that for" I ask. "Please Y/N, everyone in this club is so boring and you're smart so it will help us after Peter leaves," she says. "Wait, Peter dropped out," I said, He was acting weird lately and now was dropping out of all his clubs.

"Yeah, he dropped out of the school marching band and robotics," she says. Before I could even say anything, Liz comes running out again and pulls MJ and me into the class. They sent the whole free period testing each other for a quiz that is happening this weekend. The only sad thing about the club is that flash was in with his big ego, I knew I had to knock him down a few pegs. After my very first meeting, I was second on the leaderboard, I was one above Flash and one below Liz. Which he hated and I loved for those reasons.

I was about to leave when I was called over by the teacher, he asked me if there was any chance of me joining the team in Washington, in DC and he handed me a form that I needed to be filled out by my parents. I told him that I would think about it and would let him know tomorrow, the rest of the school day was normal. I spent lunch with Ned and MJ, and during lunch, I could feel someone watching me. I looked to see Kate giving me evil looks. I had enough of it, so I stood up and walked over to her. I grab her by the hand and drag her outside.,

"What is your problem, you ignore me all day. And then decide to talk to me when you want to tell me what to do" I shout at her. I did not care that everyone was watching me, I needed to get this all off my chest. "Also, you try to help me with Peter, but then don't want me anywhere near him" I continued. "What's wrong with me, what's wrong with you, you walk into Flash's club and embarrass him, and you don't even apologize to him" she screams at me. I felt my body fill with anger and all I could see was red. "Also, I have been nothing but supportive to you and your sad little crush on Peter, I was the one who gave stupid Peter your number and I was the one who got everyone to swap so that you can be with him. And to be honest you would be nothing without me but a loser who has no friends and cannot even get Penis Parker to notice him" she shouts at me.

"Wow at first, I did not see why you would want to be with someone as mean and big echo based as Flash. But how I can see that you are both the same, you pick on people for no reason just because you think you are better than them. And it is Peter Parker, not Penis" I shout back at her. "Fuck you Y/N, go be a loser like MJ and Ned," she says. She pushes past me, and I watch her storm into the building. Then I noticed that someone was watching me, it was MJ. "How much of that did you hear," I asked in case She heard about my crush on Peter. I could feel my heart beating in my chest, it felt like it was about to explode out of my chest.

"Just the part of you calling her a female version of Flash, "she says while laughing, my heart beings to slow down and I feel relieved. "Also, the part of you liking Peter," she says playfully hitting me in the arm. "So, you heard the whole thing so," I asked, and she nodded. "It was about time that one of us stood up to that bitch and her evil ways," she says, "What do you mean," I asked. "Well, the reason we stopped being friends was because of Kate. She told me that you two wanted nothing to do with me because I was freaky and weird" she says. And my anger comes back into my body, how fucking dare Kate do that.

"MJ, I am so sorry. I did not know that. Kate just told me that you and she got in a fight" I say, I pull her into a hug but she pushes me away, " don't worry" she says before the bell went to tell us that class was starting. The rest of the school days went flying in. I get to my locker and there is a note hanging on it. With "Watch your back" written in bold letter. I look around to see if I could see anyone watching but no one looks suspicious, but I knew exactly who it was... Flash. I wasn't worried at all; Flash was all talk but never action.

I grab my phone from my pocket and get my father's contact and ring him, it rings a couple of times and goes straight to voice mail. He must be at the Restaurant because he has a health inspection coming up and he is making sure that everything was in shape. I decided that I wanted pizza, so I headed to the nearby pizza place. I got my all-time favourite pizza and got a large slice of it, I decided that I would just go on a walk around Queens since I never really leave my house. I find myself on a street that seems familiar, but I don't know why, I am walking when I hear my name being called. I look behind me to see Miss Parker.

"What has you in his area," she says, "oh I was just on a walk and guess I unintentionally Walked here without realising," I say laughing, "also how is Peter?, he wasn't in school the past couple of days," I asked. " oh yeah the food from that night gave him food poising, I guess he didn't larb it," she says while laughing. "Oh damn, I hope he gets better soon," I say. "Why don't you come up and have food with us," she asks. I think about how it was awkward last time with Peter. "Thanks for the offer, but I need to get home," I say but she gives me a look before taking my hand and leading me into the building.

Why was everyone dragging me around today, my arm is going to fall off with it being pulled all day. We get to the apartment, and I can feel the nervousness start to kick in because I was about to see Peter for the first time in a week. She opens the door and I'm back in the Cozy apartment that I was just in a couple of days ago, "Peter!! DINNER!!" May shouts and then I hear footsteps getting closer and closer until Peter was standing in the kitchen doorway.

"What's Y/N doing here," he asked, I don't look at him but just at Aunt May, "I found him wandering around and invited him ...well more forced him," she says with a laugh at the last part. She started to take the food out of the bag and onto the table, she ushers us to come over and eat. If I thought the first dinner was bad, this one was even worse, the whole dinner I could feel Peter staring at me the whole time.

Aunt May started to notice, so she grabbed her food and told us that we needed to talk because we could cut the tension with a knife. We just sit there in silence for a couple of minutes, I didn't know what to start was meant to be like. Hey, peter remember when we nearly kissed 3 days ago, and you acted like it didn't happen. "I'm sorry" is all that he says, I was confused about why he was apologising.

"About what," I asked, I was hoping he was talking about the kiss, but I had to make sure. "About being M.I.A past couple of days" he says, I didn't know how to reply, and I think he knew that. "I know we should talk about what happened, but I still don't know what happened," he says to me. "We don't have to if you don't need to, we both know it was nothing" I don't know why I said it, but I instinctively regrated it as it left my mouth.

I don't look at him but at the ground trying to hide that I was upset, "so Ned told me you made a show of Flash at the decathlon today" he says. I look at him for the first time today and I could feel myself getting lost in the brown of his eyes. "Yeah, he had it coming," I say with a laugh, and he laughs with me, "I only wish that I was there to see it," he says with a smile on his face. He dislikes Flash as much as I do because he always picked on Peter for no reason. That was one of the reasons I enjoy making a show of Flash because it gave him a taste of his own medicine which he needed. "Speaking of the decathlon, how come you dropped out. Now I'm forced to replace you by MJ and Liz" I say. The smile disappears on his face, and he starts to get a worried look on his face.

"Oh.... well... since I am working with Stark, I just haven't had much free time," he says, "Well I'll keep your seat warm still you can come back" I joke. We spend the rest of the time talking about random stuff, he asks me if I would like to watch a movie. We walk over to the couch, and we sit down, and he grabs the remote, and he clicks straight to the Star Wars section and clicks on "A New Hope". Haft way through the movie I begin to get cold, and I can feel myself shivering. I think Peter notices because he gets up from the couch and walks into the hall before walking back with a blanket. He sits back down and put the blanket on me, "here you go" he says while tucking me into the blanket "Just so the heat doesn't escape" he says. I hate that he didn't know he was doing this to me, I could feel myself blush, so I look back at the movie.

I could see him starting to shiver too so I try to put the blanket on him, but he is too small. He notices what I'm trying to do and moves closer so that it fits on both of us. He gives me a smile before going back to the movie. Throughout the movie, he would tell me fun facts about it and behind the scenes. It was kind of cute seeing him geek out about all this stuff. I feel my eyes beginning to get heavier and heavier and with the warmth coming off peter it wasn't helping. My head starts to feel heavier and heavier and its drops onto Peter's shoulder. I would move it, but I was too tired to move it and then I fell asleep.

I woke up to Peter moving me and now I was laying down on the couch, I feel a pillow being put under my head and a blanket being put on me. I open my eyes a bit to see that it was Peter doing it. "Goodnight, Y/N," he says before heading to bed.

And I just laid there thinking about how much I really liked Peter

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I woke up once again to the sweet and wonderful noise of my amazing alarm going off. I did not want to get up, I wanted five more minutes, I was having a dream about performing at the American Music Awards and My mother was in the front row. But I did not want to be late, so I headed out of bed and started to get ready for school. I walked over to my closet and put on a baggy black and white flannel and ripped jeans. I put them on one of my favourite pairs of vans and grabbed my bag before heading downstairs.

When I get downstairs, as I got closer to the kitchen, I could start to smell bacon, as I walked into my kitchen, I saw my father was cooking. He turns around and notices me "Morning Y/N," he says putting a plate of bacon and eggs on the table. I sit down and smiled at him; I was happy to see that my father was finally acting like himself again. He sits down across from me and begins to eat, "oh and before I forget I will drop you at school" he says before putting a fork load of bacon in his mouth. "I was offering you yesterday, but you ran out before I could say anything" he says with the bacon in his mouth. 

We eat and talk about what we have planned today, of course, I talk about school. He talked about how the restaurant is doing great and how he should have more free time. It is good that he would have free time, meaning we can spend more time together. We finish and grab things before heading outside to the car, I asked if we could stop outside Kate's house to also give her a lift to school.

We get to school, and we get out of the car, and I tell my father that I will see him later. We walk towards the school doors, and I see Peter and Ned walking into the school. He notices me and waved at me; I can feel my face being too heated up from blushing. I wave back at him before he disappears into the school. I remember back on our small interaction yesterday when I bumped into him in the halls. And then he checked up on me later that day, he was so sweet and kind.

"You're welcome, Y/N" I was brought out of my thought with Kate saying that, "what" I said confused because she just randomly said that. "I gave him your number because after you left, he seemed worried," she said. "Why would he be worried about me, we are strangers," I said. "I don't know, I didn't ask," she says as we walk over to our lockers to get out books.

I looked over to see Peter at this locker with MJ and Ned, Peter and Ned were talking while MJ was just reading a book. MJ and I used to be friends when we were kids, it was the three of us. It was Me, Kate, and MJ, when you saw one of us, you knew that the other two were not far behind. But MJ and Kate got into a fight while I was on holiday and I tried to find out what happened, but Kate would not tell me, and MJ ghosted me that whole summer. I did not even notice Kate walking over, so she scared me when she spoke. 

"Maybe this will be the year that you will date," Kate says, which causes me to jump because I was deep into thought about everything. "Stop, we haven't even said more than one conversation," I say, she does not say anything she just gives me a creepy smile and winks like she was up to something and then walked off. I chased after her trying to find out what she was up to because her plans never ended well for me. 

The bell went as I walked into class and saw Ned and Peter were sitting beside each other as always. I went to sit beside Kate as I always do but Flash was sitting there, she notices me, and I give her a WTF look and she gives me a Fuck Off look back and points at the seat beside Nathan. I let out a loud sigh before walking over to him, it is not like I did not like him it was just that we barely talked except for that one night. And every time I was around him, Kate was always there so I was never around him by myself. So,  it was awkward as hell sitting beside him. He was just staring at Kate; it was creepy. 

"What does he have that I do not have," he says turning around to me looking for an answer. "I don't know, I'm as confused as you are when it comes to them two," I said taking my stuff out of my bag for the class. The teacher walks in, and the class begins, it was just a normal class about science of course now with smart comments from Nathan about how he did not understand any of it. Luckily, Nathan was attractive because he did not have one brain cell in that brain of his. 

Just before the class ended, she announced that we would have group assignments in pairs. Katie looks at me then at Peter and gives that creepy smile again. She was up to something, and I needed to stop it before it was too late, but I didn't know what it was. I looked over at Peter and I could see Peter and Ned doing their little handshake, which meant that they were pairing up. 

"Oh, and before I forget I picked the pairs, I have made a list and will be putting it on the board," she says which gets a few groans and moans from some students. I looked back over at Kate and the smile was gone, and it looked like she was thinking.  The bell goes and then she puts the list up on the board before everyone rushes over to see who their parents were.

Kate rushes over to the list and is the first one to get there, I walk over to and look through trying to find my name on the list. 

Tom Holland & Jocab Batalon                                         

Zendaya Coleman & CJ Kenna                                       

Marisa Tomei & Laura Harrier                                       

Nathan Patson & Flash Thompson                               

Y/N  Y/L/N & Kate Daly 

Peter Parker & Ned Leeds 

I was paired with Kate, which I mean could have been worse. It just basically means that I would have to do most of the work while she does nothing but the pictures.  "Hey Ned, could you swap partner with me. Y/N get so controlling when it comes to projects, and I can't do it anyone with him" she says. I shot her a dirty look and I get a smile in response, I look over at Ned who was looking at Peter. "Oh, but Peter and I have a good idea -" she doesn't even let him finish, "Oh please Ned, I'll put in a good word to Liz" she says 

Peter and Ned talk for a bit before they come to a decision that they would swap with us. Panic starts to take over my body and I can feel myself getting a little lightheaded. I mean I was happy that I was with him, but I was nervous about it. I always acted weird around Peter, I try to act normal, but I act anything but normal. 

I look over at Kate who is now talking to Nathan, I have a feeling she is now trying to get him to partner with Ned. Of course, he agrees because he is in love with her and will do anything for her, which I feel like she uses for her advantage which I don't think is fair. I look over to see Peter walking towards me with a smile on his face. "I guess we are partners, if you want you can come over to mine later and we can start it," he says. I couldn't say anything because I was still panicking about being a partner up with Peter, I just stare at him not knowing what to say in case I fuck it up. 

"Earth to Y/N," he says while laughing, I quickly remembered what happened. "Oh yeah, that's sound great" I answer back trying to ignore the fact that I took ages to answer. He smiles at me, "grand, we can plan it during lunch" he says before joining Ned in the hallways. As soon as he walks away, Kate walks over to me with a smile on her face. "You're welcome again" she says before walking over to flash.  

The rest of the classes dragged in; Peter wasn't in for some of them, and Kate didn't see beside me for English and would avoid me in the hallway. Something happened and I needed to know what it was.  The bell went for lunch, so I headed to my locker to get my lunch. 

I see Kate and Nathan are at Kate's locker. They were talking about something but stopped when I got near enough. "What are you talking about," I asked, they both looked at each other before looking back at me.

"Oh, nothing, just talking about a science project" Kate lied, she was my best friend, so I knew when she was lying, and she was lying to me right now. But I did not know why or what it was. She finished at her locker, and we headed towards the canteen, then grabbed our food and headed towards our normal table when I heard my name being called.

"Y/N, over here" I hear someone shout, I look around to see Peter waving at us to come over to him. I begin to walk over but I am stopped by Kate, "Emm, I think we should sit at are normal tables" she says.  "Well, Peter invited us over there. So, I going to sit beside him" I say before walking off. I look over to see Kate and Nathan going toward the other table.  I don't know why she was acting like this, one minute she tried to get us together and then the next she avoided him. 

I walked over and took a seat beside Ned, who was sitting across from Peter, and MJ were sitting at the other table. She looks up and sees me, I smile at her, but she just goes back to her book. "Don't mind her, she ignores everyone" Peter says while taking out a sandwich from a school bag. "Yeh, she can be mood sometimes" Ned says which gets him a death stare from MJ, she looks over at me before going back to her book. 

We ate lunch and talked about different stuff, about Star Wars, which I had never seen before, and Ned and Peter looked at me like I had three heads. And demanded that I watch them soon before the new one comes out. Just then Liz Allen walked in and got Peter and Ned's attention, she and her friends were putting up banners for homecoming that was happening next month. The table went quiet as both boys watched her every move, it was kind of creepy, I just wished Peter looked at me like that and not at Liz. 

"Did Liz get a new top?" Peter said as they both stared at Liz. "No, we've seen that before but never with that skirt " Ned replied. I just stared at them while it happened, "we should stop staring before it gets weird" Peter says. "Too late" is all I could get out; they both just look at me. I can feel jealousy filling my body, I had my answer. Peter liked Liz, so I had no chance. I noticed that MJ was looking at me like she was studying me. 

"Can we talk?" she says, damn I forgot what her voice sounded like with how long it's been since we've talked. I nod in response before grabbing my stuff and following her outside, I saw Kate walking over and she looked pissed, but she was stopped by Liz when she asked her about the homecoming.  I followed MJ outside and we sat at one of the benches outside, we sat in awkwardness for a while because neither of us knew what to say. 

I decided to be the one to break the silence, but I guess we both had the same idea because at the same time we both asked each other how we have been.  We both laugh at how awkward it is, "You go first" she says laughing. "Well, I've been good, thanks what about you" I say with a smile on my face. "I've been good too, I just wanted to apologize," she says. "For what," I asked, "For not being there when you need me" she says, I could hear that she was fighting back tears.

The summer with Kate and MJ's fight, which led to MJ ghosting me all summer, was also the year that my mother passed away. I was mad at MJ for never contacting me or saying anything, but I eventually moved on because I never liked to hold grudges. "It's Ok MJ, I forgave you a long time ago" I say, a smile appears on her face, and she pulls me into a hug. "I've missed you; I wish I didn't let the fight with Kate affect our friendship," she says. I was about to ask what happened when the bell rang to tell us that lunch was over. 

I grabbed my things and gave MJ my number before heading off to class. I was happy that I was able to fix my friendship with MJ, and I'm sure my mother would be too. My last two classes were a double music class, which I was thankful for because I had so many emotions I had to get out. I walk straight over to the back room and take out my book. I think back about Ned and Peter talking about Liz and the way he looked at her.

I don't blame them for looking at her because who wouldn't, she was pretty, smart, and kind, there was no chance of winning with that. Also, she was a girl, she ticked all the boxes for Peter. I hated her for it, but it was not her fault. I tried my best not to let my feelings for Peter influence my feelings for Liz, but jealousy got the best of me all the time. All I could think about was this line repeatedly, I needed to put it down, when I wrote what I was thinking about, it was like the thought was being taken out of my mind.

"Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting on you Please don't be in love with someone else Please don't have somebody waiting for you"

All I could think about was Peter and Liz. What if she did like Peter and Peter asks her out to homecoming, I did not want to think about it anymore, so I focused my attention on something else. I still had to go over to Peter's house after school, so I need to get over it before he catches on. 

It was time for me to move on, but there was no one in the school that I found as attractive as Peter. Everyone else was just meh when compared to Peter. Maybe I just need to take a break from boys. Focus on my music, the school did a talent show at the end of the first term just before winter break. 

I would never normally think about doing it, but this year felt different this year felt like my year. It was not the year I would date Peter as Kate said but the year of music. I spent most of the double class trying to play the guitar, but I still could not get the hang of it. Then the bell went to tell us that the school day was over, I grabbed all my stuff and made sure that my bag was closed before leaving.

I made my way to my locker to find Peter and Ned standing there waiting for me. He notices me and starts to walk before me, "We never got to plan about going to mine, so I thought I'd meet you at your locker" he says. He looked all sweaty like he was just running, "oh yeah sorry, when do you want me to come over" I asked, I walk over taking everything I need into my bag.

"Well, I was thinking maybe we could head over now," he says looking down at the floor. "Yeah, I just have to text my father and let him know" I reply. I take out my phone and click on my father's contact. I let him know that I was heading over to a friend's home to do some homework and will be home later. 

I finished my locker, and we headed toward the front entrance of the door. Just as we got out of the school, I got a notification from my father, telling me that it was ok and that he will see me later. I look up at my phone to see Peter and Ned talking about something, I look behind me to see Liz walking over to a car and getting in. 

"My father said it's fine, so I can come over," I say which takes Peter out of his thought. He smiles at me and says bye to Ned before we head off in the direction that I am guessing his apartment was in. On the walk we talked about our lives, I told him about my mother, and he told me about his parents. It was nice getting to know Peter, he was a kind and caring person. We finally make it to his apartment block, and he takes out his keys to unlock the door.

We walk into a small but cosy apartment, as we walk into the apartment there is a loud bang coming from the kitchen. "Wait here," he says before disappearing around the corner. I hear him talking to someone, but I cannot make out what they were saying. I stand there awkwardly for a couple of minutes before Peter comes back around the corner with a brown-haired lady. She looks at me then looks at Peter, I guess he did not tell her that I was coming over.

"Aunt May, this is Y/N L/N," he says introducing me to her, I put my hand out for a handshake. But she hits it out of her way and pulls me into a hug, "we are a hugging family" she says while hugging me. She pulls away before grabbing her purse, "well I'm going to grab some food, Y/N you're welcome to stay for dinner" she says. And I thank her for the offer while she heads out the door.

After disappearing, Peter leads me down the hallway to his bedroom, he opens his door to a medium side room with bunk beds again the wall, the walls were covered in nerd stuff from Star Wars and other things I did not know. I looked around taking it all in, I did not know what I was expecting his room to look like it, but it was not this. He sits on his bed and motions for me to come to sit beside him.

"So, what do you want to do the project on," I said to him, "actually I was thinking about maybe asking you about yesterday," he says, not looking at me but at the floor. "What about yesterday, I told you I am fine Peter," I said. He finally looks at me, "I know but I was just worried because you ran out of class" He speaks. He looked concerned, but I do not know why.

We had just only become friends, "it's just that I lost something really important that belongs to my mother," I said looking at him, "I thought I lost it forever, and I got upset at myself about it" I continue. "What did you lose if you don't mind me asking," he says, I did not know what to say, oh just a songbook that my mother gave me that had all the songs about my feeling for you. "Just a songbook my mother gave me," I said leaving out the rest of it. He looks at me with a smile, "you write songs" he asked, and I nod. I did not want to say anything else, so I just looked around the room to find something to change the subject.

When I spot a guitar hidden beside the desk, I walk over and looked at him. " I didn't know you played," I said, taking the guitar in my hands. " I used it; my uncle got it for me. But I have not played it since he passed away" he says I could tell that it was hard for him to talk about it. So, I did not ask any more questions. " I've always wanted to play it, but I'm not good at it," I said putting the guitar down and heading back to bed.

Peter gets up and walks over and grabs the guitar, "Maybe I can show you something," he says walking over and handing me the guitar. We spent a couple of minutes with him trying to explain to me where to put my fingers, but I could not get the hang of it, "come here, I'll show you" he says coming behind me. He grabs both of my hands with his and puts them in the right places. I could feel his breath on the back of my neck, and it made me have butterflies in my stomach.

He puts my fingers onto different strings then tells me to pull them, and it places a note. I turned around to thank him but noticed how close our lips were to each other. I just look at him not knowing what to do and something tells me to lean in so I do, just then Aunt May walks in and causes us to jump. "Hey, I was wondering if you would want to go over to that new place across the street," she says.

She does even let us reply before we are pushed outside the door and towards the elevator. We walked over to a restaurant called The Prachya Thai and we get a table for 3. We sat down and May asked me questions about my life, and I would catch Peter looking at me but would look away when I caught him. We get our food, and we begin to eat and then it awkward silences. Aunt May notices and gives us a look before talking, she turns around to Peter.

"I thought you liked larb, too early, not early enough, how time do I have to say larb before someone speaks" she says. I look over at Peter who is just looking at his place, I don't know what to say after the nearly-almost kiss we had in his room. "You know I larb you" she says to peter. He looks at me then in May, "It's just I'm tired with school and the apprenticeship, it a lot of work" he says. She then talks about how she is not a fan of Tony and how he's a bad influence.

"What does your mother think about tony, Y/N" she says, I look down at my food not knowing what to say. "Y/N, mother passed away a couple of years ago," Peter says, and the smile drops from Aunt May's face. "Oh Y/N, I'm sorry". "It's okay Miss Parker, and I think she would feel the same way" I say with a smile on my face. I liked talking about my mother because it was like she was still alive. We ate our food before Aunt May paid the bill. Peter and I are waiting outside for her. 

"Can we talk about what happened in my room" I said, "About what" he says. Before I could say anything, else Aunt May walked out, "So Y/N would you like a lift home" she says, I politely decline saying that my house isn't far from here. I said goodbye to Peter and May before heading off, but all I could think about was the almost kiss.

╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else”

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I finally got to my destination and opened the gates to the graveyard; I have not been here in a while because my father refused to bring me down anymore. I walk up to where my mother's grave is and sit beside it. I need to talk to her; I need to tell her that I was sorry for losing the songbook.

I also apologise for not coming here sooner, and that I will be up to visit her more often. After a couple of minutes I heard the gate open, and I saw my father coming down towards me. He notices me and gives me a small smile and comes to sit beside me. "Kate told me what happened," he says, " I went home, and you were not there, so I assumed you were here" he continued.

We sat there for a while having a conversation, for a long time we finally felt like a family. It is started to lightly drizzle so we say our goodbyes to my mother, and we start to leave the gate when a white feather falls on my head. I knew it was a sign for her to say thank you for coming, a smile appeared on my face, and I headed to my father.

On the way back my father stops outside of a store and runs in. He comes back with a bag and hands it to me; I open the bag to see a new songbook. "I know it's not the same, but I don't want you to give up on it," he says. This was a side of my father I have not since my mother die, "thanks so much, she would be proud of us" I say.

When we get home, I text Kate and tell her that I am fine and that I just need some fresh air. She tells me that she will drop over when school is done. I go up to my room and open the new songbook, I want to be happy that my father bought me a new one. But I was upset about losing my first one, so I decided that I could clean to take my mind off it.

I spend 2 hours cleaning and rearranging my room, which I normally hate cleaning, but it helps my mind off the songbook. I started to get a bit tired so I decided that I should take a quick nap before Kate drops over. I set a two-hour alarm, climb into my bed, and let my heavy eyelids close to sleep.

After two hours and a couple of hitting the snooze button, I wake up after a 2 and a haft hour nap. I looked at my phone to see that it was 3 pm, I still had an hour before Kate would be here. I headed downstairs to see a note from my father.

Hey buddy Sorry I was called into work, and you were asleep, and I did not want to wake you up. But I will be home at 8 and I will bring food for us to have dinner together Love, dad

I headed into the sitting room and watched some of my favourite shows, I was about to click the next episode when I got a notification on my phone, and it was from Kate.

New Message!

Kate - hey, I am sorry, but I will not be able to come over. My parents are grounding me because they found out where I went last weekend

Me - it is fine, do not worry about it. I will see you tomorrow at school xx

Kate - love you

Me - LY2

I watch a couple more episodes of the show, before turning the Tv off and heading back up to my room. I noticed that the book that my father got me was sitting on my bed. It would be a clever idea to rewrite all the songs from my other one. I grabbed the book and decided that I would write in my special spot. Well, it was the balcony that was attached to my father's room, there was a seat out there from when my mother would sit outside in the morning.

So, I used it to help give me the motivation that I need to get back into it. I head toward my father's room and out the window to the balcony and sat down on the chair. I just stared at the book; I did not know where to start. There were many songs that I loved in that book, but I decided to start the new book with my latest one.

I open the first page and put "Enchanted" it big bold letters and write everything that I had on the song. Just as I finish the last line, I hear something land beside me. I look up to see something I was not expecting to see, it was Spider-Man and one of his hands were behind his back.

"What are you doing here," I asked confused because I was not in danger or needed any help. He does not say anything and takes his hand from behind his back. He reveals that he had my songbook, and I was so happy that I had not lost it. "Thank you. Thank you, thank you"' was all I was about to get out

I pulled him into a hug because I was grateful that he found it. "Where did you find it," I asked, taking the book from him, and opening it up to the message from my mother

Never give up on your dreams, I cannot wait to hear all the songs you are going to write - You're Number One Fan

Tears start to form in my eyes but no sad ones, ones of happiness. "I found it outside the school when I was on patrol," he says, I looked at him, something about him was familiar but I did not know what it was. But I did not care, I was so happy that I had this back. "It must mean a lot to you," he says bringing me out of thought. I sit down and nod at him to take a seat to which he accepts and sits beside me.

"It's the last thing my mother gave me before she passed away, it has a little message from her," I say while trying to fight the tears. "When I lost it, it felt like I lost the last part of her I had" I continued. He does not say anything, but I know he was listening. "She believed in me and my songs writing, but I never got to show her any because she passed away a week after she gave it to me" tears were streaming down my face.

A pair of warm arms wrap around me and look up to see that it is Spider-Man. "I'm sure she would be proud of you, Y/N," he says, but how did he know my name, I did not tell him, and I have never met him before. "I never told you my name," I said looking at him confused. He does not say anything like he was trying to think of something to say. Did Spider-Man know me? Did I know who Spider-Man was, there was something about him that was familiar, but I could not put my finger on it.

After a few seconds of silence waiting for an answer. He finally says something. "Emm... I ... it says it in the books, that how I knew where you lived as-well" he says. I looked at him for a second before opening the front of it to reveal my name and address. I forgot that my mother wrote that so when I lost it, they knew where to return it. "Oh... makes sense, I was beginning to think I might know you," I say, which gets a weird awkward laugh from him.

We continue to look weirdly at each other before his phone begins to beep, he takes it out and looks at it and then at me. "I got to go, see you around," he says before swinging off with his web. I could feel my heart beating loudly, I do not know why but there was a weird feeling in my stomach like when I saw Peter. I ignored the feeling and sat back down in the chair; I was happy to have the book back.

But I decided it is best to start a new book, I open my mother's books and put the date I got it than today's date. It was time for me to move on from Peter, Spider-Man was single?. Did he even have time to date? wait is Spider-Man even gay? Ugh not again. I opened the book that my father  gave me and put today's date and closes it.

I wanted to name this book and I knew what it was "Enchanted Tales by Y/N" it would have all my thoughts and feelings. In my storybook of songs about my life, I glimpse out to see the sunset. It was beautiful, I sat and saw the sunset for a while before I started to get cold and gathered all my things and head back in.

I head to the kitchen and grab something to eat, my phone goes off and it is a text message from an unknown number.

New Message!

Unknown: Hey it is Peter; I got your number from Kate. I just wanted to check on you and see how you are.

Me: Hey Peter, I am doing good thanks.

Peter: That's good, I went looking for you, but I could not find you

Me: Yeah, I just went to clear my head. Thanks for the check-up, Peter

Peter: Ya welcome Y/N, I will see you tomorrow

Peter:

Also, use this for the contact photo Haha

Me: ok, I will Hehe

I put my phone down and I could feel my heart beating fast again. Some luck getting over Peter, at least we could be friends. Friends are better than anything... right? I go into my room thinking about how Spider-Man brought back my book. Something about him made me feel familiar and safe, his voice sounded like someone, but I could not put my finger on it.

I got on my bed and looked at the clock, it was 7 pm and I was already tired. I walk over to my desk and decide to do my homework, well the ones for the classes that I went to at least. It took me about an hour and a half to do it, then I decided to call it a night. I walk over to my bed and open my songbook once last time of my mother's, and I look at the first song that I wrote.

The song was called invisible, it was about liking someone that did not like you back. I know enchanted is the same, but it is more of a mature version of invisible. I smile at it because a lot has changed since then I was not invisible anymore, but the only problem is that now there were two, I do not know. I was still confused about the whole Spider-Man situation, I do not know if it was because of the book or because I liked him.

I did not even know if I would see him again, he is a superhero, he has thousands of people after him. What would make me any different to them, both Spider-Man and Peter could do better than me.

I hear my front door unlock, and the sound of keys being put on a table. I hear them come up the stairs and a knock on my door, I tell them to come in and I see my father holding a box. "I brought you back food," he says handing me the warm box, he notices the mother's book on the bed. "I see you found it, I guess you're back to writing songs in it," he says. I looked up and then the book, "yeah, a kid from school dropped it over" I say and then I grabbed the book he gave me.

I handed him the book he gave me "also I think it's time for a new chapter with a new book" I say. Showing him the front of it with the title, a smile appears on his face but none of the small ones he gives. "Well, it's getting late, you should probably head to bed soon," he says getting up and handing me back the book.

"Night, love you," I say, "Love you too Y/N," he says back before leaving my room. I ate the food that he gave me and put on a podcast and put my head on the pillow. My eyes started to feel heavy, and I drifted off to sleep.

I wake up to the sound of my alarm screaming at me, I hit the snooze and try to go back to sleep. Today marked the first day of school, I was great when it comes to school, but I hated it. I would rather just be homeschooled. I was not being bullied or anything, I just hate being around people, well of course with some exceptions of Katie.

I slowly crawl out of my bed, and head into the bathroom to have a shower before I must leave for school. I quickly jumped into the shower and listened to music while doing it.

Music was the one thing that I loved; a song could tell you a whole story within 3 minutes. It could be about heartbreak, happiness, loneliness, there was not just one way to write a song. I love the lyricism of some artists like Taylor Swift, and how they would use words that normally do not rhyme and then make them.

That is what made me start to write songs because it helped me get away from everything that I happen ding in the word, it allows me to be in my own little world, and I could get all my emotions out without having to talk about my feeling to someone.

I had a songbook that had all of my thought, ideas and songs in it and no one was allowed to look at, not even Katie or my father. They knew that they was not allowed to look at it and Katie respected my privacy. But there was sometimes when I caught her trying to look.

Most of the songs were songs about Peter, and some were about other people. But mostly about Peter and how I could never be with him because he never felt the same way. I started a new song a couple of days ago called "enchanted" but all I had so far was the chorus.

"There I was again tonight Forcing laughter, faking smiles Same old tired, lonely place Walls of insincerity, shifting eyes and vacancy Vanished when I saw your face All I can say is, it was enchanting to meet you"

The song was about how much Peter had an impact on me, how he could make the most horrible day turn into the best with just his smile. But of course, he could never know how I felt. I grab a plain white top and black jeans and a green flannel from my closet and throw them on.

I walked downstairs to find my dad in the kitchen with his laptop looking at the news. It was talking about the Germany situation with Iron Man and Captain America. And how they are outlaws now, it was sad to see the one hope that the world had fall apart.

My father is always working and never takes time out for it; he  owned a couple of restaurants with my mother. But after she died it became his full responsibility to run them, he used it so that he did not have to cope with my mother's death. He never really showed any emotions, but I knew it hurt him.

My mother died a couple of years ago when I was 13, she was in a plane crash on her way back from a business trip. My father was meant to go on the business trip with her, but they got into a fight the night before and he decided that he was not going to go. And now he blames himself for what happened and how she was alone. I have told him thousands of times that he did not know it would happen, but he still blamed himself.

Ever since then he drove headfirst to work and has not stopped working since then. And it has affected our relationship, we barely spend time together or even talk. He is always either at work or home in his office doing work. I heard him one day talking to grandparents on the phone about how hard it was for him to look at me because it reminds him of her.

I do look a lot like my mother, we both had E/C eyes and H/C hair. People would say we look like twins and my dad did not get a look in when it came to me. I did miss her; I missed her a lot. She would help me with my songwriting, she would help me when I need a word to rhyme with or could not think of a chorus.

She also loved music but never did anything about it because she was so busy with business. So, when she died, I decided that I would complete her dream for her. I was good at writing songs, just not everything else when it came to it. All I knew is that I would be famous one day and I will dedicate my first Grammy to her.

My father looks up form the laptop and gives me a small smile that he always gives before going back to work. I grab bread and decide to make toast, I sit down and eat the toast in the awkward quietness. My father closes his laptop and looks and me not saying anything for a while.

"Excited for your first day back, Y/N," he says after a while. I was honestly shocked that he remembered because he never really kept up with me and what was happening in my life. "Yeah, but nervous about it as well" I answer while eating my toast. He looks at me and let out a small sigh, "I'm sorry I haven't been the most amazing father lately, I just thought that my focus on work would help us. But it has honestly done the opposite" he confesses

I did not know what to say, this was unexpected, my father and I have not had a conversation like this in years. We normally just have small talk and then go separate ways, but he was having a conversation with me and wanted to know how I was. "It's ok, I know it's been a lot for you lately" is all I could get out. I did not know what I should say. I was never good at comforting people, so I normally left that for other people to do.

We ended up talking more about my mom and how she would be proud of me. He also asks me if I am still writing music and I tell him that I am, and when I tell him a smile appears on his face. We talked for a couple of minutes before I looked at the clock and saw that I was late for school. I rush to grab my bag and notebooks before rushing out the door to the bus stop.

I did not even hear my father when he offered me a lift because I was already out the door and running down the street. I was thankful to make it just in time for the bus and sit in the back of the bus in the empty bus, the bus ride is normally about 30 minutes, so I take out my songbook and scribble some ideas down.

I open the page that enchanted is on and read over the chorus that I have. I had a pre-chorus and chorus idea, but I did not know if it would work with the songs. But then I heard my mother's voice in my head telling me to put it in, so I did.

  "And it was enchanting to meet you All I can say is, I was enchanted to meet you"

"This night is sparkling, don't you let it go I'm wonderstruck, blushing all the way home I'll spend forever wondering if you knew I was enchanted to meet you"

When I finally get to the school, I am already 10 minutes late, I get off the bus and put my songbook in my bag not even realizing that I did not close it because I was in a rush. I ran into the school and down the hallways and rushed over to the corridor that my locker was in.

When I was about to turn the corner to it, when I bumped into someone, everything in their hands went flying into the air. We both fell to the ground, and I could hear him laugh, "Are you ok, Y/N" I heard him say.

I look over to see that I bumped into Peter, out of all the people I could have bumped into it was him. I was screaming on the inside but looked calm on the outside, I was good at doing that when Peter was around. I help him pick up all his stuff, and he puts out his hand to help me up.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't  looking where I-" I was cut off by him laughing again. "It's grand Y/N, I wasn't looking either," he says. Wait he knew my name, I did not think he would know it.

He picks up my bag and hands it to me, I do not even notice that something fell out of it when he does. We just stared at each other till I remembered that I was late for class and still had not been to my locker.

I apologise again for bumping into Peter and being too rushed off, I could hear him calling me, but I was too embarrassed to turn back around.

I finally got to my locker and started to put my stuff in quickly, so I am not late for class, just as I finished with my locker and was about to go to class. Kate and Nathan turn the corner and walk over to me. Nathan was our friend; well, he was Kate's friend more than mine. Also, he had a crush on her, which he told me about one night when he called me drunk.

But of course, Kate does not feel the same way because she has her eyes on Flash,  It was a weird love triangle that I just did not want to get involved in, so I just pretended that the call never happened. They walk over to me and open their lockers. "How come you're not in class," I asked, I was confused. Yes, Kate did not like school, but she would never ditched class. "Remember, Miss Potts, emailed us saying she wouldn't be in first-class," Nathan said.

I think about everything that has happed , I had to rush to school for no reason. I head butt my locker and sigh with everything that happened. Didn't even notice Kate had walked over to me and closed my bag for me, and we headed to the canteen to grab something to eat.

Most of my classes were mostly just the teachers telling us what we were going to do this school year. And then we had my favourite class, which was music. Music was the one class in that I did not feel like I was under pressure to be the smartest in the room. It was the one hour of the day that I could just be myself, the teacher tells us that we can just do our own thing for this class.

So, I head to the back room, the back room is normally used for people who play drums, so they do not make too much noise but since no one in my class played it, I used it as my quiet spot for songwriting.

I get to the back room and sit in one of the bean bags that are randomly laid across the room. And open my bag to take my songbook out so that I could work on it. I looked in my bag and I couldn't see it, so I just assumed that it fell to the bottom, and I started to take everything out.

Panic started to take over my body when I realized that the book were not in my bag anymore. It was gone and I did not know where it was, I left the back room and asked the teacher if I could go to the bathroom. And I ran down the halls looking around for my book, but it was nowhere to be seen, I went to my locker thinking I could have accidentally put it in there when I was not paying attention. But it was not in my locker, I could feel a panic attack coming on.

That book had everything in it, from notes from my mother, my feelings and thoughts and worst of all everything about Peter. I needed to find that book, I texted Kate to meet me in the hallways outside of the class she was in. After a couple of minutes of waiting she finally came out of it. She looked concerned because I texted her EBFM, which stands for Emergency Best Friend Meeting. We normally used it when it was important and it was important.

"I can't find my songbook Kate" I explain to her and the concerned look on her face disappears. "Y/N, are you serious? You called an EBFM for this" she says with a disappointed look on her face. "Kate, you don't understand, this book means everything to me. It was the last thing my mother got me before she died" I explained. Kates  faces changes to sad now, she knew that my mother's death had a significant impact on me.

"Ok, I'll go ask around and you go to lost and found to see if anyone handed it in" she explains, I give her a big hug and thank her before we split up to find the book. I get to where lost and found is in the front office and ask the receptionist if anyone had in a book, she hands me a box that has books in it. I looked through it, but it was nowhere to be found, I asked her if anyone handed in a book to let me know, I told her that it has my name on it and says songbook.

I meet back up with Kate at my lockers, she had no luck finding it either, "Y/N try to remember the last time you had it" she says. I think back to my day, so I had it on the bus and when I got off it, and then I rushed into the school and bumped into Peter. "Oh" is all I could get out, "what, what," she said.

I explain to her that when I was rushing to my locker, I bumped into Peter and my bag was open because I forgot to close it. Which meant that my songbook with songs about Peter was with the person the songs were about. It felt like my heart dropped, I could not even say anything else. If he had the book and he looked in it, he would think I am a creep.

The bell went to tell us that it was time for the next class, so I went back to the music room and grabbed my stuff and headed to the next class. Luckily, it was science and Peter was in this class, I walked in and saw Peter and Ned sitting beside each other. I needed to find out if he had the book without him noticing, I know I could just go up and ask but what if he had it and looked thought it? I was not ready to have that conversation with him yet.

I slowly walked past trying to look in his bag, but it was closed, Ned noticed me trying to look in his bag. "Is everything ok Y/N?" he asked. Peter turned around and we made eye contact and I could feel my heart beating so fast.

"Yeh, I drop my pen and I'm just trying to find it" I came up with an excuse for what I was doing. Peter gives me a small smile and grabs his bag. Was he about to hand me the songbook, was he about to tell me to never talk to him again?

Panic started to take over my body as I waited for him to take it out . He finally gets what he needed from his bag and hands me a pen, I look at it confused. "I just thought you might need it because you lost yours" he explains.

Oh yeah, thanks," I say before quickly taking my seat at the back beside Katie. I guess Peter did not have it, so it was gone. I could feel tears start to form in my eyes, I tried to hold it back but then Kate asked me if I was okay. And then I lost it, the tears that I was trying to fight back were now running down my face.

And now everyone was looking at me, even Peter, I could not take it anymore and I grabbed my bag and ran out of the classroom. Almost bumping in to the teacher when she was coming in, I could hear Kate calling me, but I did not stop till I got to the bathroom.

I just needed to be alone for a bit, I lost the one thing that my mother gave me. I felt like I lost her again, and it hurt even more now because I had nothing to remember her by now. I was quietly crying in one of the stalls when I heard the door open, and someone walked in. I put my legs up so that I was fully on the toilet so they could not tell I was in there.

"Y/N??" I hear someone say from outside the stall, I did not say anything, "Y/N, it's Peter" he says. Are you serious? The last person that I wanted to see was on the other side of the door. I did not know what to say, he stood there in silence at the stall for a while before I heard the door open and close again. As soon as it does, a sigh leaves my lips, I sit there in the toilet before I decide that I am done with school with the day.

I grab my stuff and unlock the stall; I open the door of the bathroom looking around to see if Peter was waiting for me, but he was not. Which I was disappointed about but why would he, I head toward the front door and sign myself off before heading out the door but not towards home.

Masterlist

╰┈➤ Summary: Y/N has had a crush on Peter Parker for as long as he can remember, but with Peter's clear preference for girls, Y/N had long resigned himself to the idea that nothing would ever come of it. Little did they know, an accidental songbook mix-up would bring them closer than either of them could have imagined.

As Y/N begins writing a song about the way Peter has impacted him, titled "Enchanted," an unexpected friendship begins to blossom between them. But not everyone is thrilled about this new connection, and someone is determined to do whatever it takes to stop it.

Will their bond remain purely platonic, or will something deeper begin to form, despite the obstacles in their way?

"Please don't be in love with someone else"

─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ───

I could not believe I was doing this; I could not believe I was at my first high school party. I normally would not go to these sorts of parties, not because I was not invited. Yes, I was what you called a "nerd" but so was everyone in my school. The school was full of smart people, so people were not called nerds. Even some of them would be the definition of what a nerd is with loving stuff like Star Wars or Star Tark. But I did not go to parties because I am not a huge fan of drinking alcohol, I do not understand the fun of it. I am sure it is great now but then you have a bad hangover the next day. I do not get the point of parties either, it is just a reason for teenagers to get horny, sweaty, and drunk all at the same time and that does not sound fun at all.

But we still had popular kids in the school, and I was not one of them. Not that I wanted to be one of them, all they care about is how much money is in your bank account and what car you were driving. Example of popular kids was Flash and Liz, both of their parents were rich, so everyone wanted to be friends with them. And the party I was at was Flash's one, I do not like Flash at all, he is full of himself and how rich he is, but I was at this party against my own will.

The only reason I am at this stupid party was that my BFSB, who is my Best Friend Since Birth, wanted to come. It was the end of the summer party that everyone and their mothers were invited to, it was a way to prepare that we need to survive another year of school. She was friends with Flash and Liz, so she was invited to this party and dragged me along with her,

I honestly do not know how Kate and I are best friends because we are the opposite of each other. Both of our families are close to each other. And me and Kate became close because we were always around each other. But we had nothing in common when it came to our interests. She is popular, loves fashion and is a party animal whereas I am shy, and only wears hoodies and would rather just stay in and watch TV than go out.

So, when she told me about the party and how she needed me to go because she could not go by herself because her family did not trust her. And that is because Kate has done a lot of bad things over the years that have gotten her in trouble over the years, sometimes even with the police.

So now her parents were watching like a hawk watching their pry. So, the only way that Kate could go to the party was if I went with her and lied saying that we were going to the cinema or library. Her family saw me as the "Golden Child" as one would say because I always studied, was doing great in school, did not drink. It was every parent's dream.

So now I flash forward to the present and I am awkwardly sitting in the kitchen of the flash's party waiting for it to be over. I haven't even been there more than 10 minutes, but I wanted to leave already. I lost Kate as soon we walked into the room, so I was just waiting for her to show her face again.

And speaking of the devil and they shall appear, Kate comes running into the room and almost falls all over the place because she is drunk, and we only just got there. "We've been here five minutes, how have you drunk already," I asked her while I walked over to her and helped her over to a seat and sat her down. But she slowly slips off the chair and now is on the floor, I try to sit her down again, but she just keeps on falling. She finally gets herself to sit down and then looks around the room before her eyes land on me and she screams.

"There you are Y/N, I need you to do me a big Favour" she chuckles while saying it to me as if she just found me. This bitch is drunk, I do not like to do Favour for her, she always asks me to do them for her and they are always bad. Most of the time I do a Favour for her, I always end up holding her hair up in my bathroom because she is too drunk to go home.

" Depend on what it is?" I answered her while getting a glass of water for her from the sink. To say I am scared would be an understatement, she could ask me to do anything, and I did not want to hold her hair back again all night. "I need you to play seven minutes in heaven so I can get on with Flash in the closet," she said trying to stay sitting at the table and blinking at me weirdly.

I think she is trying to wink at me, but she is so drunk that it isn't working out for her. I honestly don't know what she sees in him because he is the most selfish person I have ever seen, but as her BFSB I just must support her and her stupid decisions and just put a fake smile on.

I walked over to give her the water and the smell of alcohol off her is strong. Flash and Kate have this think. Like  will they, won't they thing going on. They like to hook up, but it never turns into anything serious. Kate says she is fine with it, but I do not think she is, to be honest, I think she wants a relationship (AGAIN I DON'T KNOW WHY!!).

My heart drops when she asks me that question, she wants me to play seven minutes in heaven. She knows I have not even had my first kiss yet, and she wants me to have my first one with a drunk stranger. She must be joking; this must be a joke.

"No... it's a bad enough that you dragged me to this party, but now you want me to go out there and play a game," I said, walking back over to the sink and refilling the glass of water. "Oh please." She is giving me her famous puppy dog eyes. Kate always does the puppy eyes when she wants me to do something, and sadly it always works.

"No, I'm not doing it, I'm not having my first kiss be at his stupid party" I am standing my ground, there is no way she can get me to do it. And then she plays the card that she knows that I cannot say no to. She begins to walk away but then turns around to say one last time. "Oh, and also Peter might be playing, and I know you have a big fat crush on him," she says with a smirk on her devilish face.

Peter is someone that is in my year, he is the sweetest, kind, smartest person that I have ever met, well I have never had a conversation with him but what I have seen and heard is all of that. Well from everyone except Flash who likes to call him Penis Parker for some stupid reason, and that is another reason that I don't like flash. But sadly, he isn't into boys because he has his eyes out for Liz. I don't blame him because she is the girl every guy wants to date and every girl wants to be including Katie.

She continues to look at me with those puppy dog eyes until I cave in. I was going to do it any way but since Peter will playing and I have had a chance to kiss him is a bonus. I will do her this Favour, but this is the last time, I hope. We walk into the room and people are on the couch ready to play. As I walk over, I see that Peter is sitting there but Liz is sitting right beside him.

I walk over to the couch and sit beside Kate. I look over to Peter and he sees me and gives me a smile and a wink. I looked behind me thinking he did not just do that to me, but when I looked behind me there was no one. I was confused about why he was at this party because he and Flash don't get along but I didn't really think much into it.

They begin the game, And Kate says she will go first and spins the bottle to see who the first person is. She spins the bottle and of course out of all people its lands on Flash. He makes a joke about how they aren't in a relationship and that other ladies can join in. Like I said they have been hooking up for like seven months and spend most nights texting but to flash they were not  in a relationship.

Kate gives me a smile before getting off the couch, and they go off somewhere to have their seven minutes. And now I was stuck on my own with people I do not know and one of them I will have to spend seven minutes in heaven with. I feel myself starting to panic that I would have to spend seven minutes alone with someone. Maybe I could just leave the game and no one would notice.

I stare into the distance in my thoughts when I am brought out of it with someone shaking me. It is my turn to spin the bottle. And my nervousness starts to get the best of me, I can feel myself starting to panic. I grab the bottle and I spin it and my heart starts to beat fast. It feels like it is spinning forever until it lands on Peter. I do not want to do this, so I grab the bottle to spin it again when I am stopped by a hand.

I look up to see that it is Peter's hand on my hand, and my heart starts to beat faster, and it feels like I am about to have a panic attack. "Hey, it landed on me, and we have to play by the rules" he winks and then grabs my hand and leads me off. I can hear Everyone talking while we walk away. We slowly walk over to the closet and close the door.

It is awkward for a while because neither of us does anything. We just sit there awkwardly. I am too busy panicking about what to do because this is my first time. It feels like I have been in this closet for hours, and I have already spent most of my life in it. When he finally breaks the silence and says something.

"You know you're the only person who does not pick of me like flash" He's staring into my eyes while saying this and damn it feels like I am in actual heaven. "Or wants to be my lab partner just so they can pass the class and not do any work" I feel my heart melting as he says all this to me. I do not know why he is saying it, but I am not going to stop him.

"You're not my type," I say trying to act cool, but I can tell it is not working. He can hear my heart beating so loudly or could he hear my thoughts.

" Oh, really Y/N" He smirks while saying his to me. We stood there quietly again just staring into each other's eyes. Then when all is in slow motion, he starts to lean in. And just before our lips touch.

I woke up
