Peter P.O.V

We set up our stuff in the living room and got to work. The news was playing quietly on the tv. I sat down on the couch while Aubrey was getting out her notebook from her bag. Then she sat down next to me after she got it. And she was sitting kinda close. I felt my face heat up and I tried my hardest to keep the redness in my cheeks from showing.

"So it says that we need to first write a paper then we have to have something like a poster or slide show or something." I said. "I think we should do the paper first. What do you think?"

"Yeah. I think that would be best." She replied. "What is the paper on actually, again?" She asked me.

"We have to right a paper on someone's point of view during World War II. So what person do you want to do? We could do a person in the military or the Air Force or a person not in the war, just someone from that time period...." I stopped because I realized Aubrey wasn't paying attention. She was watching a story on the news about me. Well the Spider-Man me.

"You, uh, like Spider-Man?" I ask.

She started to blush a bit. "I...uh...." she started. I smiled out of amusement.

"I just think it's really cool what he does for people and stuff. That's all." She said.

"Okay." I replied laughing a bit.

"What?"

"Nothing. It's just you don't need to hide your Spider-Man crush from me."

"SHUT UP PETER! I don't have a crush on Spider-Man."

"Okaaaaaayyyy."

"Whatever. Can we get back to the project?"

"Yeah."

We work for two and a half hours then Aubrey's phone buzzes. She picks up her phone.

"It's my dad. Sorry I got to go." She said.

"It's fine. We can work some more another time." I say.

She gathers her things and I help. I hand her her notebook and she takes it and puts it in her bag. Then after she's packed up I walk her out.

"See you at school tomorrow Bree." I say while opening the door for her.

"See ya Pete." She replies. I close the door behind her.
