MJ, Peter, and Ned: 4
This request is from my younger sister, who is, sadly, not on Wattpad.
Peter Parker, alter ego Spiderman. How MJ got this information she won't tell you, its top secret. (She saw him mixing web fluid in class and put two and two together. She's just observant, and he's just a bit obvious. OK.)
It was a Tuesday when everything started. Now Tuesdays are the weirdest days in the week, everyone knows that. Tuesdays are less bad than Monday, not a good as Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, but just weirdly neutral, that's what Tuesdays are.
This specific Tuesday was one of those days right after a sleepless night. MJ had stayed up later than normal to finish homework than she finished reading her book, all in all, it was a productive night. But now she seriously regrets everything.
During attendance, she was almost marked absent, because her eyes couldn't stay open. Next to her Peter was doing the same, his head in his hands, eyes fluttering shut. He had probably stayed up later than his curfew doing his Spider-manning. Ned was the only one who had gotten more than two hours of sleep, the Filipino-American boy poking both Peter and MJ to keep them awake.
As the trio walked towards gym class MJ began to zone out, Ned kept his hand on her arm, leading her to the gym. Peter was also running on zero and Ned kept an eye on him as well, making sure he didn't smash into anyone or anything.
They arrived on time for class, Peter and Ned making their way to the changing room and MJ to the female changing rooms.
Once they had finished changing, the three gathered with the rest of the class in the middle of the room. The teacher told them that they would be doing another fitness test. MJ wanted to sleep, she didn't want to do this.
Peter just shrugged at the announcement, he could do all of the exercises needed to pass the class, thanks to his enhanced stamina and strength.
Ned couldn't do any of the physical exercises. If these were mental exercises he would probably be one of the last one's standing. But he needed to keep an eye on his two sleep-deprived friends, otherwise, they might say something they would regret.
Ned watched as MJ and Peter were separated into one group, while Ned was put in the other group. He needed to keep an eye on those two idiots, but how was he gonna do that from over here?
The fitness test began, both MJ and Peter began to do the laps they were told to do. Ned, partnering up with Abraham from AcaDec, was doing the sit-ups while he watched his two best friends.
The two were to continue running until they couldn't anymore, Ned watched as one student after another student dropped out of the running. MJ and Peter running at a steady pace, Peter being only a lap ahead of his friend. Ned was worried, both were running on auto-pilot and he knew that Peter wouldn't slow down when a normal human would.
People were starting to take notice, seeing as only five people were left running, and two were the biggest nerds in school.
Now you may be asking, why is MJ able to run so well? Well, she had been taking long runs each morning, just to keep up with her favourite superhero. She also had been practising running in high-heels since she was five, she had always wanted to be like Pepper Potts and MJ wanted to be able to run from one business meeting to another, all while looking stunning as hell.
Now the two were running neck in neck, Flash being the only one left running with them.
Ned had given up in his situps a while ago, he and Abraham had moved to the crowd around the track. Both watching Peter, MJ, and Flash run.
"I'm so gonna win," Michelle snarked at her friend, both so out of it that they felt this was a friendly race. Alone.
"Not a chance, MJ." Peter sped up a notch, MJ following fast behind. Neither friend noticed the other boy, panting behind them.
Everyone watched, sure that Flash Thompson, the school's golden boy, would survive to the last place. But from what they were seeing, maybe the two nerds would win.
As his two best friends passed him Ned spoke for Peter to hear, "Remember, you can't win."
Peter was confused, why couldn't he beat MJ? There's no good reason for him to throw the race, so why would he?
Flash collapsed and was dragged off the track. Ned could see that MJ was getting tired, her legs were getting a little wiggly and she was running on adrenaline, same as Peter.
MJ stopped after her 21st lap and Peter stopped one more lap after. Both gave each other a congratulatory hug and walked off of the track. Ned ran over to the both of them, "Are you guys ok?"
MJ laughed, "Peter won, like always." Peter smiled before he grabbed a bottle of water and drank up the whole thing.
Everyone was staring, everyone was confused at the two quietest, nerdy people in the school. How were they able to run 21 and 22 laps individually.
"You could have won, MJ. If you had been a little more awake." Peter handed her a water bottle too.
MJ took a sip, "If you were awake too you could have run over 50 laps."
Ned dragged them both away, hoping to every deity possible that no one heard their conversation.
The next day, everyone was talking about the fitness test yesterday. Ned had to explain to MJ and Peter what had happened the day before, and Peter had gotten very worried about people finding out his secret. MJ was unworried, she knew everyone in the school besides her was an idiot.
No one in the school had a single idea of how the two nerds managed to make it to the end of the test. Both got a high grade and, when Peter told Tony about the race, Tony took him, MJ, and Ned out for congratulatory dinner.
I hope you all like this!
