I tug my best friend's hand desperately. "We're going to be late," I told them with a small frown. She laughs and shakes their head. 

"Okay, okay I'm coming." I pull them into the classroom. They sit down before putting their feet up on the table. I look over at her. She just shrugged and clicked her pen before drawing on her leg.

I sigh looking at the teacher as he walks into the class. I pull out a small notebook. He starts talking about our new Science project that we will be given.

 I take a few notes before I got distracted, my gaze falling on Peter. Peter Parker, my crush since who even knows. I feel a something hit my head. I snap my head around at where it had come from.

It was a piece of paper my friend had felt the need to throw at me. I scoff before opening the paper. 

It read 'Why don't you just tell Parker you like him?' i scrunch the paper back up and shove it in my pocket. Making sure that my friend saw my movements so she got the idea. I look over at her shaking my head and mouthing 'no'.

"Ahem, miss Y/n." The teacher then calls causing me to look over at him. "Is there something wrong?" he asked in a passive-aggressive way. I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear. "No...sorry sir," I said feeling all the eyes on me. I then look down pretending to be very busy with my work as he continues.

"You will be put in partners for the project. They will be assigned." many classmates groaned at the thought. 

Being stuck with someone you might hate for a whole project. I frown with everyone else. He stuck the sheet on the glass part of the room's door. "Look on your way out," he calls just as the bell goes off.

I collect my books in my bag before reading the page.

Y/n - Travis

F/n - Peter

I look over at my friend with a frown. "F/n" I complain, pointing to the page. She shrugs. Then she reads who I was with. "You're with Travis," she said her eyes lighting up. 

"He is really cute." she joked looping her arm around mine and walking to our lockers. I shove some of my stuff in there and sling my backpack onto my shoulder.

"I guess I'll have to talk to Travis about studying in the library tomorrow," I said sighing as we walked to the bus. F/n rolled her eyes.

 "Dramatic much." she looked at me with a gentle smile. She then got on the bus and I continued to walk until I made it home.

I walk into the house pocketing my keys. I then turn to see my mother. She was rushing to get reading for work. "Sorry love, I didn't realise I was on the roll at the ward today," she told me kissing my forehead quickly. She then ran out of the door without her stethoscope around her neck as she ran to her car.

I wave goodbye before walking to my bedroom. I throw my bed at my desk chair, it rolled slightly from the impact. I then changed into some more comfy clothing.


I tied my hair into a messy bun. Pulling pieces out in the front so they framed my face. I was about to sit down when I feel my phone buzz in my back pocket. I pull out my phone and see a text from F/n.

F/n- I took your partner. Thank me later and don't be mad ;)

I stare at my screen confused by what she met. She took Travis... I thought to myself. Well now, what do I do?

Just as that thought pops into my head I hear my doorbell ring. I cover half of my hands with my oversized sweater and walk to the door. I open the door expecting to see my mother because she forgot her stethoscope. Instead, he stood there.

 In front of My house. "Peter?" I asked quietly more to myself. He looked down at me him being taller and smiled nervously.

"Hey, I'm here f-for the science project," he said showing me his backpack in his hands. I feel a quickly blush cover my cheeks as I realise what I was wearing. "Oh, right. Come in."I open the door fully so he could enter. He walks in with a shy smile. I lead him to the study, a table sitting in the middle of the room.

I sat down in one of the chairs. He sat next to me. I pulled my books out my backpack and laid them out. He did the same. I would be lying if I said there was no awkward silence between us. I then clear my throat and look over at him. 

"Any ideas for what we can do?" I ask wondering out loud. Peter looks around the room his eyes falling on the stethoscope my mum had forgotten. "What about heart rate?" he asked looking back at me.

I didn't think it was a good idea because my heart is racing him just being here. "Sure." I still said anyway. Peter nods writing down a few dot points before handing me his book so I could copy them. I just smile in thanks and write down the notes in my own book.

Peter goes and picks up the stethoscope placing it around his neck. He sits back down next to me. "Uh, I need to take your resting heart rate," he told me a small blush rising on his cheeks.

I then nod. "okay..." I swallow as I turn to face him. He then places the end of the stethoscope on my heart. I blush and look away as I feel it beat fast. He smiles lightly and writes down the average. I follow.

I take it and place it on his chest. He heart was steady, unlike mine. I take some deep breaths. "Y/n, are you okay?" he asked noticing my hesitation. I nod and pulls away from him, writing down his average.

We continued to work on the project until we were almost done. "Did you know your real partner was F/n?" I then ask looking down at my paper so I could dodge is stare. "Yeah... I did. But she messaged me an address that was meant to be hers. Turns out it wasn't." Peter told me laughing lightly.

I nod my head and look up at him nervously. "So then why did you stay?" I asked my hands shaking slightly but I held them together under the table.

 Peter's face flushed and he looked everywhere but at me. "B-because..." he started not knowing what to say.

He then sighs and looks back at me. "I've liked you for a really long time Y/n," he said his nerves now showing fully. I feel my body freeze and looked at him checking to see if he was telling the truth or not. Peter doesn't break eye contact. I feel a smile shot across my face.

I then smiled down at the desk butterflies running through me. Peter then takes my hand in his and he looked at me. "Will you go out with...with me some time?" he struggled to get out. I then nod shyly my blush radiated. Peter then leaning in closer smiles. He kisses me sweetly before pulling away.

I grin my heart fluttering. "We should finish the project," Peter said his eyes still on me. I nod. "Yeah, we should." We both don't move for a long second. My mother then looks over at us. "Y/n?" she asked seeing Peter's face close to mine.

We both jump to our feet, our chairs flying back behind us. "Mum..." I said it coming out as a nervous chuckle. Peter then looks from my mother back at me then back at my mother. "...H-hi. I'm Peter, Parker...Peter." he stumbled out holding his hand out to shake.

My mum nods a knowing smile on her face. She then goes to shake his hand but misses and takes her stethoscope off his neck. 

Peter's face was burning and he looked very uncomfortable. My mum then smiles at both of us winking at Peter before turning to leave for work again. "Science project," I yell at her back in my defence.

Peter then looked very embarrassed, I peck his lips quickly. "Don't stress too much," I told him smiling.
