Call Out My Name ? Peter Parker

vii.

"Peter, you need to breathe. What are you trying to say? Just get to your point." She let go of his face, watching as he inhaled deeply before speaking again.

"Carson, I'm trying I ask if you want to come over to my house for dinner. I have something really important to tell you, okay? Do you trust me?" Peter stared at her intently, brown never leaving green.

"Do I have to change out of the clothes I'm wearing now?" Ella really didn't want to change, even for a boy she liked.

"Not if you don't want to." Peter replied instantly. His hands placed firmly on her shoulders, rubbing soothing circles into them.

"Good," she replied with small smile. Ella reach and gingerly took his hands off of her shoulders, leaning in towards him. Her arms wrapped tightly around his waist as she pulled him closer, laughing at the little noise Peter made when she hugged him close. The hug just felt right, like she was made to be in his arms, molded there in the middle the hallway ignoring every other student there. As Peter pulled back, Ella quickly leaned in and pecked his cheek before smiling slyly.

"Then it's a date. I'll see you around, Parker." Ella let go of him quickly and walked away, leaving and slightly confused and starstruck Peter behind her.

She may have looked crappy but Ella had never felt more happy. It was like nothing had really mattered anymore in her life besides Peter and Gwen. Sure, she had the internship but that woman didn't care about her, not like her friends did. Quickly, Ella squared her shoulders, the confidence she wore on the first day she met them was back, and she knew it was take a lot more then almost getting hit by a car for a Ella to lose it all over again.

When she walked into chemistry, Gwen gave her a funny look as she sat down. It was a complete 180 in her attitude since she first came in the morning.

"What's got you all smiley?" Gwen leaned over and nudged her. "Earlier today you were in some kind of funk."

"Nothing." Ella shook her head, keeping her eyes straight forward.

"Uh huh, it was Peter wasn't it?" The blonde gave Ella a pointed look.

She shrugged. "So what if it was?"

"Well then I have to thank him for getting you out of your mood." Gwen smiled lightly at her before turning to face the front leaving the strawberry blonde alone with her thoughts for the rest of the class period.

Ella tucked a loose strand of hair gingerly behind her ear before she knocked lightly on the door. Somewhere, deep inside of Ella she felt like she shouldn't have come, like he was going to leave her, but she doubted that. So against her better judgement, there Ella was standing in front of the Parker household at eight at night. When the door cracked open, Ella smiled as she saw a petite woman who looked to be in her fifties.

"Hi, um, is Peter home? He invited me." She gave the woman a quick smile.

"Oh, yes of course he is." She replied before she turned around and yelled, "Peter, a pretty girl who isn't Gwen is here to see you."

Ella could feel her face flush a deep red at the comment.

"Hi, I'm his aunt May. It's nice to meet someone other than Gwen for a change." She stuck out her hand for Ella to shake.

"Ella Carson. Nice to meet you." She replied, shaking the hand gently.

Not long after, Ella could hear a pounding like someone running across the house. As the footsteps got closer, Ella could see Peter running around until her got to the door.
