"We need to talk Peter...or should I say Spider-Man?"
"Wha...what? what are you talking about?"
"You can't escape from me so let's talk"
In where Peter Parker and Tannie Maria Stark fall for each other and you know what they say... the more you try...

An amateur, that's what I am. And my search history proves it.
I'm currently at Chemistry, 2 minutes before recess and 3 periods before Christmas break. Paired with Flash while we finish writing the final results of our experiment. The bell buzzes and with a collective cheer everyone storms out of the classroom. I hand the stack of papers and spot Peter still seated on his bench and closing his backpack. Deep breaths Tannie. No awkwardness.
My legs wobble approaching the table "Hey!"
He looks up and smiles "Oh, uh hi Tannie" he swings his backpack to his back "What's up?"
"Well, I was thinking that maybe... only if you want to of course... I can sit with you and Ned at break" I start following him to the hallway and he stops and turns to look at me
"Really? that'll be great! sure! it's being like...?"
"Almost two months, give or take" I answer and he nods
"Yeah, but it felt like more though at least I did uh... I thought you were having lunch with Harley? not like I don't want you to have lunch with me, with us..." he stutters
I start walking to the hall and he follows "Harley and me... we're friends... what we had, we ended it"
Peter's shoes shriek against the floor and he clears his throat "what? rea-" but before he could ask, Ned walks to us frogmarching us to the same table they always have lunch in
"My heroes! once again together!" he squeals and Peter quickly shushes him sitting next to me "ok, sorry... hey, there's cheeseburgers I'm gonna grab us some, Tannie you want one?"
I nod and slide my backpack under the table "oh yes please, I love cheeseburgers"
Ned hums and walks away. I settle in the chair and turn my eyes to Peter who is fidgeting and biting his bottom lip suppressing a smile?
"Ummm, nice jacket" I mutter and he looks at me blinking few times
"oh...thanks" he touches the buttons and breathily smiles "I always use it..."
"Yeah, I know... but today that color looks good on you... not that it doesn't look good on you other days..." I start fricking rambling and internally slap myself
he laughs but stays quiet, fingers tracing the hem of his jacket. I gulp observing how his mouth twists.
"So, ummm what happened with you and Harley?" his voice fades into the crowd chattering behind us
"Oh, he's a great guy but ummm, the connection is nothing more than a friendship and constant fights with sarcasm" I explain to him and he nods looking down and tilting his head
"So, you're cool with him?"
iI shrug and nod "Uhum... friends that's all"
Ned pops beside us breaking another wave of silence
