At the end of the class I got up to try and talk to MJ, but before I could even try she was swept away by Liz and the others into their next class. Witches actually fine, I had AP chemistry and MJ had basic math with the rest of them.
As I walked to my next class I realised I was alone, Peter didn't have anyone. Even the one friend I some how managed to get was swept away in a matter of moments. Maybe it was best just to accept I was going to be alone.
During chemistry I had problem following whatever they said. It was honestly a little boring after a while, didn't even bother taking notes.
But near the very end the teacher mentioned how graphite chains were strong and changing the structure determine their tensile strength. I got an idea on how to improve the webbing formula.
The rest of the day turned out to be the same as the first couple of classes. I was ignored or shunned by everyone there and the teachers didn't bother me even if I was crealy day dreaming, since they knew I knew everything.
Honestly by lunch I was wondering why Peter even bothered with school. He was smart enough to start college any time he wanted, so why in God's blue Earth did he?
And when I sat down alone in the table furthest away in the lunch hall and right next to the trash cans I knew. Peter didn't want to leave because he was lonely, so damn lonely and stupid that he thought college would be no different from high school and that people would shun him wherever he went. So it was better to stick with the devil he knew rather than the one he didn't.
I suppose I understood after high school is supposed to be an important formative year for a child's social skills, Peter was hoping his would kick in, but sadly no luck.
As I bite into Aunt May's homemade tuna sandwich I realised MJ and her new friends had just entered the lunch hall. They all laughed and chatted like theres no tomorrow. MJ didn't even look at me.
I didn't understand it, was she really that shallow? Did she really not care a bit about me? Was the week we spent making googly eyes at each other all just a time pass for her? What the hell man, did I just get played?
Just then I noticed another kid walk up to them. He wore expensive clothes and a stylized haircut, one look and I knew who he was, I didn't even need Peter's memories.
"Harry!" Liz smiled, "come sit here! Meet the new girl!"
Harry grinned, "gladly, hey, I'm Harry Osborn," he winked as he sat next to Mary Jane, very closely.
MJ blushed at the forwardness, "h-hey. I'm MJ."
Liz grinned, "careful Osborn, I think she's in love!"
"Liz!" MJ shrieked, her face as red as her hair.
Harry laughed, "I don't mind, I've never had someone so cute falling for me before, so it's a real boost to my ego."
I couldn't stand the sight of them, all the positive feelings I had with MJ turned bitter quick, guess I was stupid that way, but it just wasn't fair. I stuffed the rest of the sandwich into my mouth and left, not looking back even if my ears picked up her melodious laughter.
I walked down the corridor, pissed, alone, I hate being alone. And idiots, I'm surrounded by idiots. I wasn't a genius or something in my past like, nothing like that, but fuck even then I had trouble with people. And now? With Peter's IQ? Fuck finding a friend who I can treat as an equal, I would need to hang out with Tony Stark for that to happen!
No wonder Peter had been holding back so much, if he didn't he would have gone made being surrounded by these shallow people eons ago!
I walked to the Chemistry lab and found it open and empty, like I knew it would be. Peter used to retreat her to escape Flash, and now it would seem it would become my haven as well.
I began to work on a couple of chemicals, trying to work in the new graphite chain into the webbing formula like I theorized. I spent all of break there and soon classes began again.
The school day ended with history last period, which MJ and I shared. She laughed and joked with her new friends,and when school got over she walked up to me like nothing ever happened.
"Hey Peter!" MJ cheered as we walked towards the school bus.
I felt anger pour through my veins, but I kept it in check, she's just a little girl, she didn't understand what she did was wrong, it was pointless getting angry at her.
So I put on a cheerful fake smile, "hey MJ."
"I swear this was like the best first day ever!" MJ cheered, "I didn't think I would meet so many people who liked me! Liz was amazing Pete! You should see the way we just got along!"
I shrugged, "I'm glad you made friends, told you there nothing to worry about."
