Love... a feeling that can sometimes drive us crazy or sad and unhappy. That's how Peter Parker felt, he's really madly in love with Liz Toomes, a senior girl.

The teenager does not know how to confess his feelings towards this young woman. He didn't know how to do it especially... he who was known for his clumsiness and his shyness.

This afternoon in the canteen, Peter and Ned were two at a table. They watched Liz Toomes in the distance, giving out paperwork for the decathlon group.

Peter: I don't know how to tell him. He said with a sigh.

Ned: Just tell him that you like him and want to go out with him. He said smiling.

Peter: It's not that easy Ned... imagine if Liz doesn't feel anything for me. The shame that I would do to myself once again in this school... He said with a sigh.

Ned: Liz likes you, only you can't see it. He says laughing.

Peter: No, stop Ned that's wrong. How do you know if Liz is in love with me. He said grimacing.

It was then that Michelle Jones, installed a few meters away alone at a table, got involved in the conversation between the two high school geeks.

Michelle: By making her jealous. She said putting her book on the table.

Peter: What? He said confused.

Michelle: If Liz is really in love with you, she'll be jealous to see you with another girl. Women hate that another marks their territories on theirs. She said smiling

Ned: So your plan is for Peter to make Liz Toomes, the prettiest, smartest, most popular girl in Midtown jealous? That's right ? he asked laughing.

Michelle: Yes that's exactly it. She said before taking a sip of her hot green tea.

Peter: This plan is madness. And even if I wanted to do that, I would need a girl to make it work. He said with a sigh.

Suddenly MJ had a plan, she who is not a big fan of Liz Toomes, would like to see her suffer. Michelle thought that Liz was just a daddy's girl, and that at the slightest whim she had everything she wanted.

Michelle: I can help you. I can be your fake high school girlfriend. She said grimacing.

Peter: What? You MJ? Is this a joke? he asked laughing.

Michelle: Then if you want, find someone else to help you. She said smiling.

Peter: No it's good I accept. He said smiling

Michelle: Cool. Start of the "make Liz jealous" plan tomorrow. She said before getting up from the table and leaving the canteen.

Ned: I don't know what you're getting into... but I feel like this is going to end badly. He said grimacing.

Peter: I'm getting into a dangerous game. He said grimacing.

The next day Peter heard MJ outside the Midtown gate. The latter had sent him a message late yesterday evening, asking him to wait for her at the gate.

Peter: Come on hurry MJ... it's very cold. He said chattering his teeth.

Suddenly the young woman arrived, Peter then saw MJ heading towards him. The young man also advanced towards her.

Peter: Hi MJ, how are you this morning? He said making a sign.

Michelle: Fine. Good ready for the start of the plan? She asked smiling.

Peter: You sure that's a good idea. End, you don't have to play the fake girlfriend. He said grimacing.

Michelle: If I offered you but services, it's because I want to play this role. And then it will only be fun. She said smiling.

Peter: Okay, fine. So where did they start? He said smiling.

Michelle: By that holding hands in the hallways, of our good old high school. She said smiling.

Peter: Ok. He said smiling.

Michelle: Come on give me your hand. She said smiling.

Peter then took his friend's hand, and they walked towards the entrance of Midtown High School. All the high school kids watched as the fake couple walked down the halls.

Michelle: Pretend to laugh at but jokes. She whispered.

Peter: Yes. He said smiling.

Michelle: Who's yellow and waiting? she asked laughing.

Peter: I don't know MJ. He said smiling.

Michelle: Yellow is waiting. She said laughing.

Peter then burst out laughing. In the distance Liz Toomes watched the scene intently. She couldn't believe it was her eyes, to see Peter and MJ holding hands and laughing together.

Betty: This high school will always be surprising. She said looking at Peter and Michelle.

Liz: Yes. She said looking coldly at the fake couple in the distance in the hallway.

The more the weeks passed, the more their plan worked. Liz was terribly jealous of MJ. An argument between the two young women had broken out during training for the academic decathlon.

But what Michelle hadn't planned on the program was falling in love with Peter Parker. Spent time with him, laughed with him, walked hand in hand with him, all of which she loved.

By realizing her love for Peter, the latter abandoned the idea of ​​the false couple. Michelle is even away from Parker and Ned. Peter didn't know why MJ had all quit overnight...he decided to confront her at the end of high school.

Peter: MJ we need to talk. He said walking behind the young woman.

Michelle: I have nothing to say to you, let me lose. She said dryly.

Peter: We need to talk please, wait for me. He said running towards Jones.

Michelle: What? What do you want ? She asked annoyed.

Peter: Why did you all stop. Our plan, our friendship... He said confused.

Michelle: Because I don't want to play this little game anymore. Liz doesn't like you. If she would love you she would have already come to talk to you. She said dryly.

The idea of ​​imagining Peter with Liz hurt him. She knew she had no chance with Parker, that's why she preferred to stay away from him, to forget him.

Peter: You may be right. But I thought you and I were friends... He said sadly.

Michelle: Are you kidding, before all of this I was nobody to you, just a classmate. She said dryly.

Peter: Yes, but then you and I became friends. He said sadly.

Michelle: Because, you think we're friends, you and me? No Peter... we're not friends. She said dryly.

Peter: MJ... He said before being cut off.

Michelle: And we never will. Now everyone is coming back to life. The game is over Peter. Now hello! She said curtly before leaving the place.

MJ left the scene, leaving a sad Peter, to see Michelle leave his life. Jones was very hurt for hurting Parker...but she preferred to protect him with love, a feeling she preferred to ignore all her life. Even if forgetting Peter Parker will be more than difficult for her...

END.
