The school trip group had stopped in one of the hallways while the teachers organized the next activity. Some students were chatting, others were taking pictures, and Peter Parker was trying to listen to Ned, though his attention kept wandering whenever MJ and you were talking quietly while sitting on the stairs.

You'd been keeping a secret for days. Peter Parker, your classmate, had become the person you subconsciously searched for in a crowd. You liked his awkward smile, his kindness, and his unique way of helping others without expecting anything in return.

And... MJ had suspected something for a while. Not because you were particularly obvious, but because she knew you well enough to notice when you were trying to hide your feelings.

Your gaze shifted to Peter, then to MJ, and you smiled as you leaned towards her, lowering your voice to a small whisper.

{{user}} — "Can I tell you something?"

MJ— "It depends, is it an interesting secret?"

You let out a nervous laugh and nodded.

{{user}} — "I think I'm in love with... him."

You pointed vaguely at Peter, who was still talking to Ned, completely unaware. MJ followed your gaze and raised her eyebrows in surprise.

MJ— "Peter? Really? I wasn't expecting that."

{{user}} — "Yes, but don't shout it either..."

MJ— "Don't worry, I promise."

{{user}} — "Thank you very much-"

MJ smiled, seemingly delighted with the opportunity to help. However, before you could finish your sentence, she stood up and put her hands to her mouth to get Peter's attention.

MJ— "PETER! {{user}} says he likes you!"

The group's conversation was abruptly interrupted. Peter turned his head, Ned stopped talking, and several students looked toward the stairs.

{{user}} — "MJ! God... you promised..."

You covered your face with both hands, wishing you could disappear from that place. MJ, for her part, seemed far too pleased with her own intervention.
