Same as Peter, MJ could barely get anything done. Her thoughts were clouded with only images of a certain brown haired brown eyed gentleman who's the most amazing person in the world. Peter Parker apparently had that effect on people.

You always think of that boy don't you?

Great, you're here come back later.

Sorry sweetie, you can't get rid of me that easily.

I hate my life.

Yeah, me too, but here we are. Why don't you actually get stuff done otherwise I'll keep bugging you.

I can feel your evil smirking.

Right... you might as well tell that Parker kid how you feel.

Yeah, how about no?

That's such a great cliché.

What cliché?

Oh, the one where the main protagonist likes another protagonist but doesn't tell them, and soon grows old regretting their decision.

That only happens in movies and books.

Oh honey, it's happening right now to you, but it's real life. Not a book or movie.

After her headspace said that MJ thought about everything that's happened the past few months, she came to the realization that it was indeed correct, her life was officially a coming of age film. (That's how I feel about my own life sometimes, why? I don't know.)

Holy crap! You're right!

Of course I am.

No need to boast.

I do what I want.

Yeah, okay.

While dealing with her conflict MJ was snapped out of her daze and she looked up to see her teacher looking at her trying to get her attention. "Ms. Jones! Are you paying attention?" He asked.

She nodded, "Yes, sorry Mr. Winchester."

Mr. Winchester turned, continuing to write on the board but MJ's thoughts always went back to Peter. She didn't realize until now, but she not only liked him. She realized,

ℐ 𝓁𝑜𝓋𝑒 𝒽𝒾𝓂.

She found someone who made her realize three things: one, that home is not a place, but a feeling. Two, that time is not measured by a clock, but by moments. And three, that heartbeats are not heard, but felt and shared.

Sometimes pain becomes such a huge part of your life that you expect it to always be there, because you can't remember a time in your life when it wasn't. But then one day you feel something else, something that feels wrong, only because it's so unfamiliar. And in that moment you realize you're happy.

That was the only perfect way MJ could explain it, and she loved how she described it. She's never felt this way, not for a single soul, and it felt amazing. To finally figure out how you feel about a certain someone.

Peter realized he loved MJ back in Paris, but it took some time for both of them to realize that they loved each for all of the right reasons. MJ couldn't believe it took her this long to say that she felt severely happy.

All she had to do was tell Peter, that was the hard part though, since she doesn't know Peter loves her too, she definitely needs to talk to Liz and Betty. Good thing school is over in twenty minutes.

When she was done with art class she left the classroom and went to her locker putting her books away in her book bag, she finally headed out the school doors seeing Liz & Betty.

"Liz! Betty!" MJ called out.

They turned to see their friend, Liz waved to her. MJ walked up to her friends and they could tell she needed to talk to them. It's a really good thing that Liz was hanging out with MJ for a little while while her parents are at work.

Soon MJ's mom pulled up next to the sidewalk and the two girls got into the car. Twenty minutes later they got to MJ's house.

Both Liz and MJ went up to MJ's room laying their stuff on the floor by MJ's bed both of them sitting on it, well MJ was laying down and Liz was sitting.

"Alright, girl tell me what's up." Liz said.

"It's Peter, I can't stop thinking about him, I figured out I love him Liz."

"Okay I knew something was up, and it was about Peter but the other part completely threw me off."

MJ sighed, "Yeah I knew you'd react that way, but what am I supposed to do? I mean what if I ruin our friendship by telling him I'm in love with him?"

"M. You just gotta fess up and tell him, you'll never know what he'll say if you don't tell him." Liz stated.

"Yeah, I guess I should tell him." MJ said.

Liz smiled, "Oh, and if you don't Betty and I will."

MJ rolled her eyes, "Fine."

As they kept talking MJ's phone dinged she checked it and turns out it was a text from Peter.

Parker 😎: Hey M. I've got a question for you.

MJ 📚: Hey Peter! What's up?

Parker 😎: Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts are getting married this weekend and I was wondering if you wanted to be my plus one.

MJ 📚: Yeah, that'd be fun! Let me ask my mom. Just send me the details.

Parker 😎: Pepper wanted to invite you to her small bachelorette party on Friday May will be there too! So don't worry, May said she would take care of you.

Parker 😎: So... what'd your mom say?

MJ 📚: She said yes! Also okay I'll be ready by then is there a theme? Because knowing Mr. Stark it's going to be extremely over the top.

Parker 😎: Surprisingly no, Ms. Potts actually got him to agree with a small wedding.

MJ 📚: Nice, go Ms. Potts! 👏

Parker 😎: Exactly, anyway see you this weekend!

MJ 📚: Yep! See you later Parker

Parker 😎: I forgot to tell you what time it starts, it starts at two o'clock and the reception starts at six o'clock.

MJ 📚: Alright, see you then Peter.
