86 SUDDEN DATE WITH MICHELLE
I bought a burger, a hotdog, and a can of Coke and sat in the park, enjoying my meal. The winter has passed. And now, no more annoying snowfall and the flowers are blooming again. There were a few people in the park. A couple of kids are playing and a young mother is reading a book and watching her kids.
I closed my eyes, basking in the warm sunlight.
Haaa... Isn't it nice to have a day without any work or responsibilities?
Man, I was so tired that I didn't even realize it until now. Yeah, I'm Spiderman. I have super endurance and stamina. I can go days without sleep, but that doesn't mean, I don't get exhausted. I'm still human.
I took a deep breath and looked up at the clear sky. A large yawn escaped my mouth. I finished my food and threw the empty wrappers into the nearby bin.
I went back to my seat once again and just sat there, closing my eyes. Might as well take a little nap.
.
.
"You are a sight for sore eyes, Parker," A familiar female voice startled me.
I turned my head towards the sound. "Michelle...!"
She was dressed in a black shirt and blue jeans. I've never seen her wear anything else besides her school uniform and this casual attire.
"What's up? Haven't seen you for a few months. Been busy?" she sat beside me and looked at the children playing around the park.
"Yeah, busy with research and stuff," I replied and turned to her, "Say, what have you been up to lately?"
"Same old. Anyway, heard you dropped out and you read about your research. You are doing great, Parker," Michelle complimented.
Well, that's new. She's always sarcastic and comes back with witty replies that make her kinda difficult to deal with. Everyone finds her way of talking annoying, and they try to avoid her as much as possible. I don't know why, but I'm drawn to her. She's unique. Every time I tried to talk with her, she would throw sarcastic and snarky remarks. Just like when I met her... Well, damn! It's been months since the last time I saw her.
"Thanks. Anyway, what's with the sudden praise? You didn't come all the way here just to compliment me, did you?" I smirked and asked. Humm... My eyes fell on her new hairstyle. She made it long and curly.
"What are you looking at? You want a piece of me? Go find a girlfriend, nerd. Oh, I forgot, Mr. Reborn, go, and find a girlfriend."
"That's what I'm trying to do. So, are you available?" I blurted it out without thinking.
She stared at me for a moment. "What the fuck, Parker. Do you want to die or something?"
"What? You got a boyfriend or are you not looking to get into a relationship? Wait! Don't tell me..." I smirked as I leaned back, looking at her expression.
"Don't you dare..." She grumbled.
"No one ever asked you out?"
"Shut up." She clenched her fists.
"What the hell. That's a shocker. Who knew? How's it possible? Don't tell me your snarky remarks scared everyone away."
"What? Fuck you. I'm not the one who has zero experience, or who doesn't have a girlfriend. Hahahaha... You are like a dog chasing his tail. No matter how much you run, you won't be able to catch up to that blonde chick. You are such a loser, Parker," She snorted at me.
"We'll talk about the blonde later, right now, I've my eyes on you. And as for experience, how about I show you what a man like me can do?" I smirked.
She froze. Her cheeks reddened and her mouth hung open. It was probably the first time someone like her got embarrassed. She stammered a bit.
"What are you going to do?" Michelle's voice came out as a whisper.
Ok, I wasn't expecting that reply.
"Well, since you have got a lot of free time. I'm not doing anything. I'll take you on a date, right now," I stood up and stretched my arms, "And we will get to know more about each other. And maybe if things go right, and you fall for my irresistible charm, we can go on a second date. If that goes well, and things heat up between us, then a third, and if you agree to the fourth, then maybe..."
I extended my arm to her.
"So, what's it going to be, beautiful? The choice is yours."
She looked at my hand and then back at me.
"We just met after what... three or four months and haven't even talked for five minutes and you think you can get me to go on a date with you?" Michelle raised her eyebrows.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Why not? Isn't that what dating is all about? Meeting strangers and getting to know them, spending some time together. It's all about getting to know each other. What could go wrong?"
Michelle stood up. Then she glared at me and slapped my hand away.
"Fine! But don't think I agreed because I like you or something. I'm bored and don't have anything better to do anyway," Michelle said before walking away.
Well, here we go...
"Wait up! At least wait for me," I chased after her.

[Michelle Jones POV]
What am I doing? I agreed to go on a date with Parker.
Damn! This idiot talks too much nonsense. He thinks he's funny. God! Why am I doing this? Why do I feel like this? Ever since Peter left Midtown high, I couldn't concentrate in class and I started to miss him. He is the only one who talks to me normally. Everyone avoids me because of my way of speaking. Not that I care about those assholes anyway. Peter is different, unlike others. He treats me like a normal girl, and I enjoy our conversations, even though I act annoyed by them.
Shit! I don't know what to do now. No one ever asked me out before. Is this what butterflies in my stomach feel like? Damn, Parker! What have you done to me?
I glanced back at Peter walking behind me. His messy brown hair, hazel eyes, and boyish smile. Hmm... Not bad. He looks good today. Why didn't I notice this before? Maybe because he used to wear glasses before. Now he wears contact lenses. He's changed quite a bit over these past few months.
He looks taller than before. Wait! Am I checking Peter out? Damn! Why am I blushing? Arghh... Michelle! Stop thinking stupid thoughts.
"Where do you wanna go?" Peter asked.
"Aren't you the one who suggested going on a date? Shouldn't you decide where we should go?" I snapped. Fuck! Why did I do that? Why am I being rude to him? I don't understand. This feeling inside me is driving me crazy.
"Just asking your preference so that you won't have a chance to complain later. But since you want yours truly to decide everything, fine by me. You now have to go wherever I want and you won't even be able to complain now," Peter replied with a sly grin.
God! Can I slap that smirk off his face? Or kiss it off?
Arghh... Michelle! Calm down. Take deep breaths.
Damn it! I fell for his trap. You knew I would reply like that, didn't you?
"Fine! Wherever you want to go, I don't care," I rolled my eyes at him.
Peter scratched his chin with a thoughtful look. "Hmm... Let's see."
[Grumble!] Huh?! Suddenly, a loud noise interrupted Peter's thought process. He burst out laughing while I stood there, blushing red. Damn! Of all times, why now?
"Food it is," He chuckled.
"Shut up! Let's go," I walked ahead of him, hiding my face.
