Peter Parker was bitten by a spider on a school field trip months ago, and now his crush—MJ Watson—has begun to pay more attention to him, despite still dating his bully, Flash Thompson. Peter eats it up anyway, as any teenaged boy would when the most popular girl in school decides he’s with the time of day. But Y/n, the outcast, has been paying attention to Peter since you met him at science camp the summer before freshman year. You used to sit beside him in class, talk with him about things you were both interested in, and try to flirt despite your crippling shyness and his utter inability to see any girl but MJ. It’s senior year, time for prom dates to be determined, and everyone assumes MJ will go with Flash, Peter will go alone because he’s so lovesick for MJ, and Y/n…well, nobody thinks about Y/n at all. Until you walk in after spring break and suddenly you’re not invisible anymore—because you spent the week getting a new wardrobe, getting your hair done, and finally learning to do your makeup. Even the people who saw you before, don’t quite recognize you now. As you walk to your locker, the only voice in the hallway that you care about cuts through the whispers, the curiosity, the stares. “…Y/n?”
