The next Monday at school, Megan ran up to Peter the moment she could. "Peter! I heard about what happened in Washington! Are you okay?"
He was confused by her concern, and found it interesting. "Why? Were you scared?"
Peter got a little closer to her, which caused her to blush a little. "I wasn't scared!"
"Well for your information, I wasn't even up there when it happened, so I'm fine." He said.
"Oh, good. See you at work!" And with that she walked away then went to homeroom.
Peter knew Megan was always quite hostile towards him, so why wonder for his well being? She didn't know whether he was up there or not before he told her, but she definitely didn't know that he was, in fact, Spider-Man.
In homeroom, the school news was playing on an old, practically ancient tv. Betty and Jason, two classmates who did the school news every morning, were talking about the decathlon. According to them, "Spider-Man Mania" was going around the school.
It wasn't surprising though, Spider-Man literally saved the lives of students at Midtown. They'd probably talk about it for the next 10 years, since it was a pretty big deal.
While in chemistry class, Megan saw Peter mixing stuff together under his desk, failing to hide what he was doing. "Whatcha doing, Parker?"
He almost dropped a beaker, cursing to himself. "It's nothing, just trying out some experiments for Halloween."
Obviously, that was a big fat lie. He was trying to make web fluid, due to using up almost all of it in D.C.
"Sounds lame." She cackled, returning to her own experiments.

Things went back to normal very quickly. Once the two were at work, Megan was back to complaining and yelling at Peter. "God, I wish I was working with Scott right now."
He snapped out of whatever shenanigans he was going with Ned, and looked straight at her. "When did you work with Scott?"
"Saturday, why do you have your panties in a twist?" Megan said, which made Peter shut his mouth quickly.
She took her attention back to Michelle, who she was currently serving. "Ugh, they're such losers."
Michelle laughed at her. "Ha! You're taking my words now."
"Well, it's true!" She exclaimed. Megan didn't know what she would do if Michelle didn't stop by almost everyday she worked.
"Yeah, you're right." Michelle replied, taking a sip of her soda. "This is so unhealthy, yet so good."
"What do you expect from a cotton candy soda?" Megan asked sarcastically.
"Nothing but heavenly taste." She said in awe.
Megan cringed. "That sounded so weird."
Michelle gulped down the rest of her soda, placing the glass on the counter. "I gotta go, I'll see you at school tomorrow."
"Bye!" She waved goodbye to her best friend, who quickly left the diner.
Peter and Ned were discussing what was going on with the Vulture, and how to find him. They made sure to talk as quiet as possible, so Megan couldn't hear, but they're not that smart at hiding things.
She heard bits and pieces of their conversation, and the only thing she could get out of it was Peter going out this upcoming weekend to find some location.
Still, she wasn't suspicious enough. It wasn't really her business, but at this point is was like they were trying to make it her business.

Scott made an appearance at the diner, the only times he was there was when it was to work. "What brings you here?"
"I'm done with my classes for the day, I thought I'd stop by and visit my favorite gal." Scott stated, opening up a menu, having a look.
"So, what would you like?" Megan asked. "Or do you need a minute..."
He quickly closed the menu. "Actually, I'd kill for a chocolate milkshake and fries."
"Your wish is my command." She joked.
When she came back with his order, she just had to ask: "You never come here on weekdays, so why now?"
"It was actually nice seeing you on Saturday, made me remember the good times from last year." Megan reminisced on all the nonsense those two did last year. Gym class would never be the same without him there. She'll never forget the time he accidentally hit the gym teacher with a hockey stick.
"I'm glad you enjoy my presence." She smiled.
"Why wouldn't I?" He chuckled.
"Probably because I'm the lamest person ever?" Scott laughed at her. "You're definitely not lame."
Megan wasn't believing him. "I beg to differ, Wilson."
"Well, I'm right, and you're wrong." He smirked.
Another customer arrived, and sat at one of her tables. "Enjoy your food, this conversation isn't over."
"Wasn't planning on it being over!" Scott called out as she walked away.
As Megan walked past Peter, he elbowed her a little bit. "Someone seems to be flirty."
"Suck my dick, Parker." She sassed. "I have work to do."
Peter rolled his eyes, surprisingly going to serve one of his tables. She knew that Scott was just a flirty guy overall, but the fact that he was 18 didn't really help his case. He was still a good guy though, and he was kind of like the brother she never had.
Returning back to Scott, who had scarfed down his fries, was very happy to see her. "Amazing service. 10 out of 10."
She giggled, then went to place the check on his table. "I'm a pretty average waitress."
"I think my tip will be the judge of that." He said, smacking $20 on the table. "Keep the change, Meggy."
He didn't order much, so she basically got a $10 tip, which was a pretty nice tip. Scott left, only waving goodbye.
Half an hour later she clocked out, and walked home with a spring in her step. Appreciation never felt this great.
At home, her parents noticed she arrived home happier than usual, as she usually was moaning and groaning the moment she walked through the door from work. But today was definitely different.
