It was silent morning in the Ridley household. It was only 6 in the morning and only the boys were up. Bella liked sleeping in as much as she could even if it was a school day she still wanted five more minutes.

The only sound that was heard was the tv in the living room, the show F.R.I.E.N.D.S. playing on the tv.

Xander and Andrew were lounging on the couch, arguing which one of them was Joey between them. " It's obviously me." Xander said while pointing at himself.

Andrew rolled his eyes. " You're only saying that because your dumb like him."

Xander furrowed his eyebrows together. " What? No. I was saying that because of my good looks and my charming personality."

Andrew busted out laughing which just made Xander more confused.

" I'm so confuse. What are you laughing about? I'm serious." Xander crossed his arms over his chest, unamused by his brother laughing at him.

Suddenly there was a scream that made Andrew quit laughing. " Did you hear that?" Xander asked as he paused the tv.

Andrew sent him a look. " Of course I heard that, you idiot. It sounded like it came from Bella's room."

Both of the boys eyes widened and immediately got up then ran up the stairs towards Bella's room. They stopped at Bella's door.

Xander bit his lower lip. " Should we knock? I feel like we should knock."

Andrew apparently ignored him because he put his hand on the doorknob and opens the door to Bella's room, leaving Xander standing in the hallway.

" Hey!" he scolds his brother as he walks into the room, immediately stopping in his place seeing his little sister violently tossing and turning in her sleep.

Andrew took no time and rushed over to the left side of the bed. He starts to try and shake her to get her to wake up and call out her name loudly, but it didn't work.

The young adult looked over at his brother with a glare. " Do you mind helping? Or are you just going to be standing there while our sister suffers from a nightmare?"

That seemed to get the gears working in Xander's head because he immediately moved from his place to stand beside Andrew.

" How-how do we wake her up?" Xander asked frantically, not really good at situations at this since this happened rarely and normally Andrew was the only one around to help Bella.

Andrew began shaking Bella more roughly to try to wake her up. " Bella, just wake up. It's just a dream, whatever your dreaming isn't real ok? Me and Xander are right here. You're right here safe and sound, just please wake up."

A loud scream left Bella's lips and she sits up in her bed, in the process knocking her forehead against Andrew's, which made him stumble back a bit but it wasn't a problem for him to catch his balance easily, breathing heavily as her eyes scan the room frantically.

" Hey, Ella, it's alright, you're safe." Xander tried calming her down. Bella's bright blue eyes locked with his own blue eyes.

While staring into them she found familiarly and comfort which managed to calm her breathing.

" X-xander?"

Xander nods, his lips curving upwards in a smile. " Yeah, it's me. Andrew is here also." he glanced over at Andrew, who sent Bella a small smile.

" Don't worry, you're safe." he reassured her.

" Do you want to tell us what happened?" Andrew asked. Both of them wanted to help her out in any way they could, they wanted to see if she would tell them what it was so maybe it could help them help her someway.

Bella brings her arm towards her face, wiping some of the tears, that she didn't even know were there until she felt them rolling down her cheeks, off of her face.

After a moment of silence besides her trying to control her sobs, she nods slowly. " You two were in the dream-well, nightmare, and you just kicked me out of the house saying that you didn't want to have to take care of such a little stupid brat of a sister you guys were left with and that I was always a trouble for you guys to take care of."

She looks up at them as she continues to explain her nightmare. " The scene changed and it was just all of my friends and people I know leaving me, saying mean things to me. I-it was awful."

The boys were left speechless after hearing her explain what her nightmare was about.

Most kids nightmare's were of monsters hiding under their bed or in their closet, but Bella's were different. They were about betrayal, and abonnement. They felt awful just to know that Bella thought that they would do such a thing to her.

" Hey, listen here Ella, we're not leaving you. Ever." Xander told her.

" You're stuck with us for the rest of your lives. Whether you like it or not so deal with it." Andrew added and got on to the bed, making her scoot over. She scoots over so there was room for him while Andrew wraps his arm around her.

Xander walks around the bed to the other side and gets on the bed, scooting over to Bella's right side, wrapping his arm around her shoulder as well.

Bella's lips curved upward as she looked over at her two older brothers. Xander nodded in agreement. " Yeah, we love you. We would never do anything like that. If we did, I would slap both of us for doing such a cruel thing."

" Is there anything we can do to help?" Andrew questioned.

" Just...stay like this, please." she whispers as she curls up next to them. The boys both nod and pull the cover up over them for Bella.

" Okay, will stay." Xander speaks softly as he leans back against the headboard, watching as Bella leans her head on his shoulder.

Andrew leans over and place a kiss on Bella's forehead seeing her eyes began to close. " We will always be here for you."

****

Whenever Bella woke up, her brother's were gone, but they left a note saying that they went out to get groceries and will be back to pick her up soon.

A sigh leaves her lips as she glances at the clock that rests on her nightstand that reads 7:00am. 

" I probably need to get ready." she mumbles to herself and sits up.

A sigh escapes her lips as she gets out of bed and fixes it. She goes to the bathroom in the hallway and takes a quick shower.

After the shower she gets dressed into some blue jeans, a plain black t-shirt with a red and black flannel tied around her waist and of course her black converse. She leaves her hair down after it dries and walks down the stairs to the kitchen.

She grabs a bottle water from the fridge and a granola bar from the cabinet. Glancing at the clock that was on the wall as she sits on top of the counter while she ate her granola bar, she saw it was 7:30am, a few more minutes and she would be late meeting Peter at their usual spot they went to most mornings so they could walk to school together.

Finishing her granola bar and drinking half of the water bottle she jumps off the counter, walking over to the backpack that rests on the floor by the front door. She puts the water bottle in one of the side pockets and lifts the backpack onto her shoulders.

Opening the door she walks out, closing the door behind her and starts walking off the front porch. Stopping in her place. She immediately turns around and heads back to her door, opening it back up she makes sure she locks the door then closes it once again as and continues walking.

She sometimes to forget to lock the front door if she was the last one out. She would probably forget her head somewher if it wasn't attached to her neck.

Holding the straps of her backpack with her hands, she begins her small journey to the meeting spot her and Peter have after texting him that she was heading there now.

A few moments later she was leaning against a lamp post looking ove ro the right seeing a familiar figure aalking towards her.

Her face brightens as a smile tugs on her lips seeing Peter walk forward her. " Hey Bella -"

" You're late." Bella says as she looks at the time it was on her phone she had in her hand.

" Right, yeah, I'm sorry. I-I was busy. Doing...stuff." Peter quickly says and Bella raises a eyebrow suspiciously at him then realizes what he was doing and rolls her eyes.

" Spider-Man stuff?" she asks, tilting her head to the side.

Peter nods. " Just patrolling the city this morning."

Bella chuckles as she gets off of the lamp post she aas leaning on moments ago and walks up to stand in front of him.

" C'mon, let's start walking Spider-Boy." She says and starts salking in the direction of Midtown High.

" It's Spider-Man! You know that Belle." Peter calls out to her, one of the nicknames he only uses as he quickly follows her.

****

The two walk inside of the school, trying to get through the crowded hallway to there lockers. It was a miracle there lockers were right by each others which was great.

Bella walks over to her locker that was on the right side of Peter's and gets the books out she needed for the day, hearing the locker on her left open knowing Peter was doing the same.

" So, I was thinking maybe we could go patrolling tonight, y'know together?" Peter asks her, looking over at Bella as she watched her take a textbook out.

Bella looks over at him, a small smirk forms on her loos and she nods. " You want me to go with you cause you're scared?" she teased him and his eyes widened.

" W-what? No!" he said, his voice high pitched and he quickly cleared his throat. " No, I-I'm not scared. I just thought it would be fun to go patrolling together. We make a good team."

Bella nods in agreement. " Yes, yes we do make a good team."

Peter rubs the back of his neck nervously. " So, um, is that a yes?"

Bella laughs. " Yes, dork, I'll go with you. We can meet up at our usual spot because I am not meeting you in that creepy alleyway."

He chuckles as he looks back at his locker making sure he had the books he needed. " Good. And yeah, don't worry. We can meet up at our spot."

Bella nods and closes her locker just as she saw Ned walk up to them with what looked like a LEGO figurine in his hand.

He puts it on Peter's shoulder. " Join me and together we can build my new LEGO death star." he says and Peter immediately turns around with wide eyes. " What? No way, that's awesome! How many peices?"

Bella leans against her locker, wondering how long it would take Ned to notice she was standing there.

A brunette haired female walks over to her with a smile on her face.
" Bella! What took you so long?"

Bella looks over and smiled seeing her best friend, Vivian, walk over to her.
" Don't blame me, Viv, it was Peter's fault. " Bella tells her.

Vivian glances over at the boys listening as Ned tells Peter how many peices there were in it and the two girls were honestly surprised about how many there were. It would definatley hurt if you stepped on all of those somehow.

Vivian shakes her head to the side, a smirk on her face as she holds onto the straps of her backpack looking back over at Bella. " So, what I'm hearing from you is that you and Peter walked here together?"

Bella rolled her eyes. " Me and Peter walk to school together all the time."

Now it was Vivian's turn to roll her eyes. " Yeah, sure. Totally didn't mean anything." Vivian played along, whistling a tune as she looked around aimsly. Bella narrows her eyes at her.

" What? I'm telling you the truth. Why are you acting like that?" the blonde haired female asked.

Her brunette best friend. She smiled innocently at her. " Acting like what?"

Bella sighs, clearly annoyed by Vivian's act. " Better be glad were in public or I would be shocking you right now." Bella whispered to her.

Vivian just smirked. " Uh-huh, whatever."

" You wanna build it tonight?" Ned asks him as Peter closes his locker. " I can't tonight, I got the Stark Internship."

Ned nods. " Mhmm. Always about that Stark Internship." Ned said and finally looked over in Bella'a direction.
" Bella! When did you get here?"

Bella and Vivian share a look. Ned then realized that Vivian was also standing there. " Oh! Hey, Vivian, how long have you been standing there?"

Vivian chuckled. " Been here for a few minutes, Ned."

" I was wondering when you were going to realize I was here." Bella said with a shrug of her shoulders. " I've been here since me and Peter walked here together."

Ned nods. " Oh, that's right. Forgot you two walk here together. Cute." Ned said, a grin forming on his lips.

Peter and Bella both glare at Ned, both of their faces a different shade of pink. " It's not cute!" the both of them said.

Vivian grins and leans over to Ned and whispers, " It's totally cute."

He grins and nods. " Totally."

" It's just something friends do, okay?" Bella says gets off of her locker as the four of them walks down the hallway together.

****

Soon it was lunch time. It felt like it took forever for lunch to get there. Bella, Vivian and Michelle were sitting at one of the tables while Ned and Peter sat at the other side of the table near them.

Michelle was reading the book she held in her hands, Vivian was the only one that was eating food out of the three as Bella drew in her notebook, glancing over at the boys seeing that they were being their usual creepy self staring at Liz who was putting the Homecoming banner up.

" Y'know, it's really creepy if you keep staring at them." Vivian spoke up.

Bella looks up at her. " I'm not staring at them. I'm just staring in there direction." Bella corrected her and Vivian rolls her eyes. " You're staring at them, well, mostly Peter, like they are staring at Liz."

Bella glares at Vivian, just wanting her to shut up. Vivian knows about Bella's crush on Peter. She was the only one that knew of her crush and she would like to keep it that way. Bella and Vivian told each other everything always knowing they can keep each others secret.

Bella never really talked to Liz mainly because she is a popular senior and all. She had heard from others that she is really nice but she just keeps to herself.

She doesn't really like to be with the popular crowd or in the center of attention. She is fine with who she is and she has enough friends. If people knew that her uncle is Tony Stark, people would treat her differently and just be her friend because of who her uncle is.

Bella doesn't normally listen in on the boys conversation, because normally it's always about Liz. Not that she doesn't like Liz, Liz is a wonderful person, she just hates that all they talk about is Liz. Liz this, Liz that.

She seems like a nice girl and Bella knows that Peter has a crush on her, it's obvious that he has a crush on her, but sometimes Bella just feels left out.

" Did Liz get a new top?" Peter asks, his chin rested on his hand as he stared at Liz.

" No, we've seen that before, but never with that skirt." Ned corrected him.

Bella rolled her eyes and brought her attention back to her drawing of the city at night. Vivian leaned over her shoulder since she was sitting besides her and smiles. " How come you're more talented than me? I can't even draw a good circle."

Bella giggles a bit at hearing that statement and shrugs her shoulders. Bella always loved drawing. She has been for as long as she can remember and it always seemed to relaxed her.

" What are you drawing? " Michelle asked suddenly.

Bella looked up at her and moved her notebook around to show her the drawing. " Wow, you got talent." Michelle said, a half smile on her face.

Bella shrugged and moved her notebook back around so it would face herself. " See? Even Michelle thinks your talented, that must mean something!" Vivian says, gesturing to Michelle.

Bella shrugs her shoulders again and Vivian was starting to get annoyed. Vivian groaned and rested her chin on her hand with a pout on her face.
" You're so stubborn."

" We should probably stop staring before it gets creepy." Peter said, though the boys didn't even move from there place.

" Too late." Bella said not looking up from her drawing as she put some finishing touches to it, noticing out of the corner of her eye that the boys looked over at them.

" You guys are losers." Michelle joined in and the boys looked at them with a offended face.

The boys looks over at Vivian as if she would defend them. " Don't look at me. It's just creepy watching Liz like that." Vivian said and the boys rolled their eyes.

" We didn't ask for your opinion Viv." Ned mumbled.

Vivian just shrugged her shoulders and smiled. " I know."

" We are actually watching them just as much as they are watching her so we are all losers." Bella added with a shrug of her shoulders.

Michelle tilts her head to the side then nods. " You have a point. But we don't stare at them creepily like they do with Liz."

Bella points at her with her pencil.
" True."

Vivian looks at Michelle then at Bella and sighs in frustration. " Seriously? That's what I've been trying to tell you guys this whole time."

Seeing that Michelle went back to reading her book, Bella glanced over at Peter seeing that he was still staring at Liz. A small frown formed on her lips and she immediately looked away when Peter turned to look in her direction.

Truth was Bella has a crush on Peter. What is there not to like about him? He's funny, smart, cute. The list could go on and on about what she likes about Peter.

She keeps her crush secret, knowing that Michelle liked him also. She knew that Michelle was trying her best to keep her crush hidden as well, but she didn't hide it as well as she thought she did. Bella could tell by the look in Michelle's eyes whenever she looked at Peter that she liked him.

Vivian looked over seeing that Peter was looking in there direction, more so at Bella.

Peter felt someone looking at him and locked eyes with Vivian. Vivian knew of Peter's crush on her best friend and has always tried to get him to confess his feelings to her. She gestured to Bella as if telling Peter to tell her he likes her.

Peter immediately shakes his head and mouths, " No."

Vivian narrows her eyes at him. " It's now or never." she mouths to him.

Peter glances back at Bella, watching her put the finishing touches to her drawing he could barely see what it looked like far away but he knew it looked amazing since she is such a talented artist.

Peter just shakes his head once he locked eyes with Vivian again. Vivian sighs and turns away from him.

Peter knows Vivian is only trying to help but he isn't ready to confess his feelings yet. He was trying to move on from Bella, having a feeling that she doesn't have the same feelings. That's why he keeps saying he likes Liz, even though that's just a lie.

****

Before she knew it, Bella found herself at the Decathlon Meeting. She isn't the smartest person alive, but she is a Stark whether her classmates knew it or not.

She has the Stark genes in her blood. Since she doesn't like to be in the center of attention, one of the many of the things her and her uncle don't have in common, she decided to be in a club that she actually like and maybe she won't end up in the center of attention.

None of her classmates know that she is related to Tony Stark and she would like to keep it that way as long as she can. Vivian of course is knows that she is related to Tony.

She tells Vivian everything and Vivian tells her everything, and that also means that Vivian knows about her powers and that she is the super hero Electra which Vivian is very supportive of. Vivian promised that she would never tell anyone that she is related to Tony and that she is Electra which means a lot to Bella.

Thankfully Vivian is in the Decathlon because it's just nice to have someone to talk to. Sure, she Michelle but Michelle keeps to herself and doesn't really talk a lot.

Believe Bella, she has tried a lot to try and get Michelle to talk to her more than just a few sentences in a conversation. Yes, her and Michelle are good friends but her and Bella have been friends a lot longer than she has been with Michelle and it's just a lot better to have someone like that in a team your on.

If people knew she was related to Tony Stark, then people would treat her differently and she didn't want that to happen.

She was currently doodling in her notebook as Liz asked questions to the team and every so often she would blurt out the answer without even looking up which shocked some of the other members since some thought she wasn't paying attention. She glanced up from her notebook seeing that Mr. Harrington and Peter were having a conversation, and it didn't look good.

" Peter, it's nationals." he said, trying to get Peter to stay in some way. Everyone knew it wouldn't be the same without Peter if he quit and from what Bella heard, Peter was quitting and she had a feeling it had something to do with her uncle.

" I can't go to Washington. If Mr.Stark needs me, I have to make sure I'm here." Peter explained and Bella rolls her eyes.

Of course her uncle was involved with him quitting. Sometimes her uncle got on her nerves.

Flash rolled his eyes, not believing anything Peter was saying. " You haven't even been in the same room as Tony Stark." he said from his place behind Peter.

Bella was sick of Flash's attitude. It was hard for her not to electrocute him right then and there but then that would be revealing her secret identity.

" For your information Flash, he has been in the same room as Tony Stark before so shut your mouth." Bella snapped which earned weird looks from Flash.

" How would you know if he was in the same room as Tony Stark? Do you like stalk him or something?" Flash asks with a smirk on his lips.

Bella's eyes widened. " W-what? No, I-I'm also in the Stark Internship." she quickly said, not wanting to tell them that Tony is her uncle even though that probably would've gone better if she just told them the truth.

" If you're in the Stark Internship as well, why aren't you quitting the team huh?" Flash asked.

" Shut up Flash, you're annoying all of us." Michelle spoke up and Bella mentally thanked her for getting Flash to stop interrogating her.

" Wait, what's happening?" Betty asked.

" Peter isn't going to Washingston." Bella answered them, locking eyes with Peter who immediately looked away, feeling guilty.

" He already quite marching band and robotics lab." Michelle added, eyeing Peter suspiciously as everyone looked at her. " I'm not obsessed with him, just observant." she told them and Bella rolled her eyes.

" Bella, you're in for Peter." Liz told her and her eyes widened and she immediately denied. " No, absolutely not."

Liz frowned. Vivian also frowned hearing this. " What? Why?" she asked her friend.

" You're on the team and your one of the smartest ones here. " Liz tells her.

Vivian nods in agreement. Bella starts to shake her head violently.

Liz sighs. " Fine," she turns to face Flash. " you're in for Peter."

Vivian leans over to Bella. " Why didn't you say yes?" she whispered to her.

Bella sent her a look. " You know I don't like being in the center of attention."

Vivian sighs and sits back in her seat, rolling her eyes at Flash being annoying.

" I don't know. I gotta check my calendar first." Flash said, clearly mocking Peter. " I got a hot date with Black Widow coming up."

Bella narrows her eyes at Flash. With one swift move, she moved out of her seat using her super speed to speed over to Flash, shoving him to the floor and just as quick zoomed back to her seat and acted like nothing happened even though some of the papers on the table were on the floor and some of the girls hair were a little messed up.

" Why am I on the floor?" Flash groaned as everyone looks over at him.

Bella shrugs as she shares a look with Vivian, both of grinning knowing that she was the one that caused Flash to fall to the floor. " Maybe the wind knocked you down."

****

After the meeting Bella was super speeding around the city and decided to stop at Delmar's Deli-Grocery, one of her favorite places to go. The sandwiches are the best, Mr. Delmar is so nice and sweet and not to mention his cat is the cutest thing ever.

She stopped in front of the shop, noticing that Peter was in there talking with Mr. Delmar. She almost forgot that Peter went here most of the times. She walked into the shop watching as Mr. Delmar crosses his arms, leaning across the counter as he looked at Peter.

" How's your aunt?" Mr. Delmar asks.

Peter shrugs. " Yeah, she's alright." he replies as Mr. Delmar turns to one of the workers that were by him and talked in Spanish, thinking Peter didn't understand the language.

" She is a very hot Italian woman." Mr. Delmar said in Spanish with a smirk on his lips.

Peter just shook his head and smirk, knowing that Mr. Delmar didn't know that he knew Spanish. He couldn't help but laugh at the shocked look Mr. Delmar gave him as he translated the words quickly.

" How's your daughter?"

Bella tried to hold in her laugh, but she just couldn't help herself. Mr. Delmar's face was priceless.

Bella didn't know many languages, but Spanish was one of the ones she knew. She taught herself by looking up how to learn Spanish online. She loved freaking her brothers out while saying stuff in Spanish since she knows that neither of them knew much Spanish.

After letting out a laugh, the two boys looked over hearing her.

" Bella." Peter said with a smile.

Mr. Delmar smiles at her. " Bella! Nice to see you here. Taking care of your brothers?" he asked and Bella nodded.

" You know it. They're a lot to handle. I needed a break." she said, joking at the end.

Mr. Delmar laughs and then moves to his till and input numbers before demanding to Peter, " Ten dollars."

Peter narrowed his eyes at him." It's five dollars." he pointed to the menu.

Mr. Delmar points at Peter. " Not for that comment. Ten dollars." he said with a serious face. Peter sheepishly smiles at him.

" Hey, come on. I'm joking. I'm joking. Even Bella knows I'm joking, right?" Peter tried to reason as he brought his wallet out of his back pocket and took a five dollar bill out.

Bella shakes her head. " Oh no, do not bring me into this."

Mr. Delmar sighed, but it was obvious he was hiding a smile.

Bella walks over to stand where Murph the cat was laying on top of a plastic display case attached to the counter showing different kinds of food.

" Hi, Murph. Miss me?" she asked the cat as she began to pet him. Murph let out a purr in response and she only guessed that was his way of saying yes.

" Bella, the usual?" Mr. Delmar asks her and she nods.

Leaving her spot next to Murph for a minute only to give Mr. Delmar the money as he tells the worker the number and takes the money as well, she goes back to Murph to find that he was now being loved by Peter.

" Hey, you took my spot." she whined as she walked over to him.

Peter chuckled and shrugged his shoulders. " You move, you lose your seat."

Bella childishy sticks her tounge out at him. Once Murph realizes that Bella had made it back over to them, he stands up, moving away from Peter and walks straight to Bella, rubbing his head on Bella's stomach.

Bella grins and picks up the cat carefully cradling him in her arms.
" You wanted me to save you from Peter that was it, was it?" she asked Murph and Peter pretended to be hurt as Murph purred in response.

" I've been replaced by a cat." Peter said and pouts.

Bella rolls her eyes as she pets Murph who happily purrs as she scratched behind his ear. " Put that pout away Parker. Even though Murph is pretty great, you can't be replaced by a cat."

Peter smiles at her.

" I swear, the cat gets all of the love nowadays." Mr. Delmar says and the two teenagers laugh.

" Awe don't worry Mr. Delmar, your pretty great as well. We wouldn't be in this shop if it wasn't for you." Bella says in Spanish and Mr. Delmar smiles. " You always know the right thing to say."

" Most of the time she does, sometime she isn't so smart." Peter jokes. He lets out a laugh.

" Hey! We're on the same side here." Bella punches his shoulder and he chuckles.

" So, kids. How's school?" Mr. Delmar asks them.

They both share a look before looking at Mr. Delmar. " Y'know boring. But we have to go so we really have no say in it." Bella answered with a shrug of her shoulders.

Peter nods in agreement. " Yeah, got better things to do."

" Stay in school, kids, stay in school." Mr. Delmar tells them. " Otherwise, you'll end up like me."

" This is great here." Peter says as Bella nods in agreement. " Yeah, I would love to be like this when I grow up. "

Mr. Delmar looks at her. " Are you just saying that because of Murph?"

Bella sheepishly smiles. " Maybeeee." she draws out the word as she glances down at Murph, who was still safely cradled in her arms, his eyes already closed.

Bella glances over at Peter who she realized was already staring at her and she tried to ignore the butterflies in her stomach as he shyly looks away once he realized what he was doing.

" So, you taking to Liz to homecoming?" she asks curiously, tilting her head to the side.

Peter's eyes widened. " U-um, actually I, I d-don't know. I haven't decided yet."

" It's obvious you like her, why don't you just ask her? There isn't any way she could say no to you, I mean c'mon, look at you." Bella told him, gesturing to himself. Peter blushes, not really use to this from Bella and to make it worse she was teasing him in front of Mr. Delmar.

" Peter! Here's your order." Mr. Delmar called out to him and Peter mentally thanked him for getting him out of this awkward situation.

Peter grabs the bag from Mr. Delmar after he said goodbye to Murph of course. The brown haired boy looks over at Bella as he starts to walk backwards towards the front door.
" Are we still meeting up at our usual spot?"

Bella nods as she puts Murph back on top of the display case. Murph who had woken up when he was moved from his spot, meowed at her. Bella chuckles at him and she nods.

" Yup, I'll meet you there." she told him.

Peter smiles at her and Bella was pretty sure that he didn't know he was by the door yet because he bumped into it. He quickly caught his balance though and sheepishly smiled at them.

After Peter left, not wanting to embarrass himself anymore, Bella walked back over to stand in front of the counter as Mr. Delmar smirks at her. " You and Mr. Parker have a special spot?"

Bella feels the blush start to creep up her neck as she shrugs her shoulders. " It's just a lamp post we meet at every morning so we can walk to school together. Friends do that stuff all the time."

Mr. Delmar scoffs, not believing any talk about them being just friends. " I don't think you two are just friends."

Bella went to say something but Mr. Delmar handed her, her bag that holds her sandwich. " Thanks Mr. Delmar, have a good day."

Why did he think that they weren't just friends? They act like friends, right? Sure Bella has a crush on Peter, but that doesn't mean anything. It's not like Peter likes her back. They're just friends, best friends, that's all they ever will be.
