Do you feel what I feel?
        You hated to be annoying again. This was the fifth time that you had bothered your friends about Peter. You were being a cliché teenager regarding the fact that you didn't know how to approach a boy, but you didn't know what else to do. You, Y/N, had no idea how to confess your feelings to Peter Parker.

        Is it real? I don't know.
        You were too terrified to legitimately act on your crush and everyone knew it.
        Michelle knew it, so she subtly suggested you join the academic decathlon. You did, but you were too focused on Peter to actually pay attention as to what was going on. You had to drop out.
        Ned knew it, so he forced you to join advanced chemistry. Everything seemed fine at first, until it was no longer syllabus week and you couldn't manage five advance placement classes. You reluctantly, had to drop out of the class.
        Betty knew it, so she made you join your school's leadership program. You had loads of fun being a part of the committee and taking part in the planning of the school dances. It was fun being around Peter, until he decided to drop leadership in order to add another advanced placement course to his ever demanding schedule.

        I don't know about you, but I know that I want you.
        Truth be told, Peter didn't think about you in any way other than as a friend. Not because you weren't gorgeous or an incredible girl, but because you were always just... there? He didn't know how to explain it, but he always saw you as one of his friends and nothing more.
        It was the worst feeling, because for you, he was no longer a friend. You didn't know what to do, or how to act around Peter anymore. You knew that you didn't want this crush to affect your friendship with him, but you couldn't deny your attraction to Peter.

        Can you hear me say that all I know is you?
        You knew you had messed up. How? It was homecoming weekend and Peter had a date. One that wasn't you.
        How did you find out? Well, because you had asked him to be your date... very publicly... in front of his locker... surrounded by about twenty classmates. Though the only reason you did it was because stupid Ned had convinced you—and himself, that Peter would say yes.
        You had figured out Peter's combination with the help of Ned, opened his locker and filled it up with tons of ping pong balls—which took you forever to stuff in there because they accidentally kept falling out. Your plan was that when you and Peter were to stand in front of his locker, he would attempt to grab a book; cause all the ping pong balls to fall, and reveal a small poster saying, "I finally found the balls to ask you a question... Homecoming?"
As far as that went, you happened to be 1 - 577898654, defeat winning. Your proposal went according to plan, but the reaction was horrible.

I can't say what you want, and you know that I won't.
        Peter didn't know how to respond, he was dumbfounded. You wanted to go to homecoming... with him? Did you have a crush on him—no wait, How could you have a crush on him? He thought you were his best friend? When had you developed feelings for him?
        Peter didn't know how to respond other than with by uttering a simple, "No." He was going to homecoming with Liz, he thought you knew that they were talking to each other exclusively?
        He didn't mean to fall into a relationship with Liz. It wasn't anything at first, they were just hanging out and having fun.
        He didn't even think that she'd ever like him back, but then everything just clicked. Peter swore Liz wouldn't like him, and then, it turned out that she did.
        Peter didn't know how to tell you that being with Liz made him the happiest that he had been in years. She made him feel whole, he didn't know what it was about her, but everything just made sense when he was with her.

       Won't you tell me something please? Give my mind some ease.
        Leave it to you to get rejected at school. In front of every single person you knew. You had given yourself a million reasons as to why you should  just leave school then and there, pack up your things and move to Canada—but you knew that you couldn't.
        You had put yourself out there in the most embarrassing way, got rejected and humiliated... but as hard as it was to admit, there was nothing that you could do. You knew Peter shouldn't have humiliated you in front of everyone, but you knew it was your fault for being optimistic about the results.

        And with that, you had gotten an answer on how to approach Peter Parker: don't.
