Ned and Peter's eyes caught your wave and smile.
"Hey!" Ned returned the wave with a grin and leaned against the lockers. You tucked my hands in your jackets pockets.
"Are you ready for the math test today?" You said positively, hoping that Peter would talk to you too. You loved talking to Ned too. You just wished that Peter would talk to you.
Sneakers squeaked on the school's tile, Liz Allen and her friends passed by waving good morning at you.
"Nope." Ned laughed and Peter shook his head quietly with a smile. He said nothing.
"Hey, I think you'll do amazing." You moved around next to Ned and kept your smile on your face. Voices from each of our classmates filled the hallway.
"Thanks, Y/n. You're always so nice." You beamed at Ned's compliment and looked over at Peter who was already looking at you but, tore his eyes away when you caught him.
You looked down at the floor blushing, this was progress, right?

It had been a few weeks since that day you talked to Peter and Ned.
Your eyes never left the spot where the chemistry textbook laid on the bookshelf. After, that day you failed that math test and it felt like this crushing weight laid across your chest. Maybe it was disappointment in yourself?
You waited for your "friends" to notice you. No one checked up on you.
So, why should you check up on them?
No one noticed. Or so, you thought.
Peter's eyes never lost sight of you in chemistry. The goggles on his face were a bit tight, he listened to what students Mr. Field was picking for partners.
Peter noticed how you changed. How the smile left your face. How you didn't even try to wave to others. He missed that smile, the crinkle on your left eye when the corners of your beautiful lips curved upwards. The way you would talk to everyone, no one felt left out. You would even wave to Flash Thompson.
He missed your positive remarks. He missed the beautiful glow you radiate. Hell, he missed you.
"Peter Parker and Y/N Y/L/N."
Mr. Field's voice broke you out of your dissociated state and you turned around in your chair to look back at Peter. He gave you a small smile and pulled out the seat beside him.
Mr. Field told the class to separate, you got up and grabbed your goggles and gloves despite the easy project. Mr. Field's wife had just had a baby so, it wasn't surprising for such a easy project. Everyone just talked instead of doing the project.
Peter already had the blue balloon, water, vinegar and baking soda. You pulled out the chair beside him quietly and sat down, trying to ignore his stare. You thought you were invisible to him. Better to make this quick.
"Hey," Peter spoke clearly, his voice breaking slightly at the end from nervousness. He took off his tight goggles, not wanting to handle them anymore and set them off on the side. You blinked in surprise, he would never talk to you first. A blush rose to your cheeks, trying to compose yourself, you poured the baking soda into the measuring cup. "How've you been?"
"Peter, don't." You slightly slammed the baking soda on the table and Peter looked at you with a mixture of concern and confusion.
"What do you mean?" Peter lightly rubbed your shoulder, he looked at you with a hidden emotion.
"Don't act like you care about me." You laughed bitterly, you were facing him fully in your chair. Peter bit his bottom lip trying to figure out ways to describe how much he cared about you.
"How could you say that?" Peter chewed the corner of his cheek, he was visibly upset. "That's not even remotely true."
"Oh, please. It's the whole damn truth." You shook your head trying to convince yourself that he truly didn't care. "I was invisible to you. Just, some dumb girl who had a crush on a boy who didn't even notice-"
Peter's handsome features softened at your confession, he felt the same. He wanted you to know how much he noticed you. How your presence was overwhelming and controlling but he welcomed every bit of it. He craved being close to you, hearing your melodic voice and laugh.
So, he told you.
"You were never invisible to me." Your forced cool composure broke, you looked down at the patterned tile trying to steady your breathing. "I noticed you everyday, who couldn't? You're beautiful."
Looking back up at him, the wall you built was crushed instantly. You couldn't believe this, he liked you? No, no, he likes you?
"You know," Peter laughed to himself quietly and the look he gave you melted your insides. "You have different smiles? One when you think of something funny, it's instant. One where someone compliments you, it's polite and completely gorgeous. One where you're uncomfortable, it's a little crooked. One where you're with your friends and one where you're around me, I think the last one is my favorite. "
Peter's hand reached out to hold yours gently and the other pushed a piece of hair behind your ear.
"You were never invisible to me. You couldn't if you tried."
