Peter B Parker grew up in the small city of Riverdale with his Aunt May and his Uncle Ben, after his parents, Richard and Mary Parker, died in a plane crash. The last time he saw them he was four years old, and he never discovered why his family had...

Betty got out of her house and headed straight to the Parker residence, which was next to the Cooper's one, to walk with Peter to school: it would've been a perfect occation to talk about how he felt, and also to apologise for ditching him. She stood in front of the house, her heart was pounding inside of her chest. She realized that everytime it was about meeting, talking or even seeing Peter, her heart race increased greatly. At this point it was obvious to her that she felt something for Peter: it was exactly the same she felt for Archie. She made a deep breath and knocked on the door, then waited patiently for it to be opened, while nervously moving her fingers together and fixing her clothes. Then the door opened, revealing May Parker, with a huge smile on her face
May: "Betty, hi!"
Betty: "Hi, May! Is Peter here? I was hoping to walk with him to school."
May: "Oh, I'm sorry dear, he got out early this morning: he said he needed a bit of time alone."
Betty: "Oh...um, alright then. It was good to see you May, bye!"
May: "Bye!"
Betty was visibly disappointed of what May told her, she was really hoping to have Peter's company this morning, but she understood Peter's reasons: in a single day he started a relationship, then was betrayed by his girlfriend and his friend, who abandoned him when he was in need, then was fooled by everyone at the party. Betty thought that, in any case, she would've seen him at school, so she kept walking.
In the meantime Peter was on the rooftop of the school, he needed time to think about everything: obviously he and Veronica weren't together anymore, and Archie at this point was far from good in his book, but Betty? Clearly Peter was happy that she texted him during Summer, meaning that she didn't want to leave him on his own, but then why just listen to Archie and stop hanging out with him? It was like he came second to Archie, but at the same time he heard Betty going all out on Archie, meaning that she's truly sorry for what she did. Of course he needed to talk about this with her, but his instinct told him that she deserved a second chance. Still...that dream kept haunting him, and he couldn't but wonder if he truly brought only pain and suffering to those around him. Plus he was still hurt by the whole Veronica situation. Considering all of this, Peter couldn't handle a single conversation that day. That's why, when he got off of the rooftop, he avoided everybody's gazes and just kept walking with his eyes on the ground.
Veronica Lodge was by her locker feeling like shit: she hurt Peter the one single time he wasn't with her, it was as if she returned to be the asshole she was in New York, and she hated that. She wanted desperately to make it up with him, because she truly cared for him, the boy who said to the others at the party that he loved her...and just a few moments later she came out of the closet, breaking Peter's heart. She really hoped to have a chance to fix what she did, and while she was wondering this she saw the boy walking to his closet, which was ironically across from hers. She turned and glanced towards him, he noticed her, but he just turned and ignored her, then he took his books from his locker, closed it and walked away, while Veronica was following him with her gaze and with a frown on her face. Unknown to Peter, Gwen too saw the strange acting of Peter towards Veronica: she and Harry weren't at the after party at Cheryl's, so she didn't know what happened, but was sure it was something very serious to trigger such a reaction in Peter. She also knew that it was the occasion to talk to Peter without Harry being constantly keeping an eye on the situation since his father needed him at Oscorp: she knew that Harry knew about her old crush on Peter, and the fact that he apparently didn't let her be alone with Peter made her crazy, at this point she didn't know if he didn't trust her or Peter, and the curly brunette didn't seem to notice this, he was so smart yet so innocent.
