Today was a day like all others. At 8,30 she walked to the Parker's and knocked on the door. After 5 minutes the door opened to show Peter with a very bad case of bed hair. It fitted him though.

"Morning" Jess greeted. Peter looked at her and smiled.

"Morning" Jess smiled and walked with him to school. Wow he had talked to her. It was more than he had said to her in a whole week.

"How's your face" Jess asked. Peter turned his head to her. The bruises were nearly gone, only one dark spot on his temple remained.

"Better, it doesn't hurt that much anymore"

"Good" They fell into another silence only this one was very uncomfortable. When they were only a block away from school Peter grabbed Jess's arm, making her stop.

"Jess, I'm sorry. I have been a real ass to you the last weeks" Jess sighed. "I just have a lot on my mind and-" he stopped himself and ran a hand trough his hair. "Thank you for helping me and my aunt. Is there anything I can do to make it up to you" Jess turned red and looked down at her shoes.

"Well you could buy me dinner?" She joked. Peter smiled and nodded.

"Alright, tonight, 6 o'clock, I pick you up" Jess looked at him confused. Seeing that he was serious she nodded a huge grin on her face.

"It's a date" She smirked and left a flushed Peter.

Peter watched Jess go. Had he just asked her out? No they were best friends. But then why did Jess blush when she had asked it?
