surprising no one. or, maybe, surprising at least a few people. Peter Parker is a perfectly nice guy, maybe a little annoying in class when he goes off a tangent nobody asked for that is barely even relevant to the lecture, though overall seems normal and capable of socializing and interacting with peers. this shouldn't be that big a deal. everyone on the planet hates group work, yet looking at him wouldn't indicate a stubborn streak a mile wide and a refusal to let others help him, even when he needs it.
still, he has a paper to write, with a partner, and collaborative writing has to be his least favorite class of all time. his work keeps coming back doused in red ink and glaring bias against oxford commas and as much as he grits his teeth and tries to bear it because he's got to make it through his general ed requirements to make it on to enroll in biophysics, it doesn't mean he's actually got to like it. he's half assing it at best, and most people that pay him mind can tell.
but it's not just him anymore, is it? Peter had all the intentions of the world of putting in a good effort, since it wasn't just his grade on the line. MJ had been stuck with him because they both missed the class when partners were decided and he doesn't want to drag her down just because he hates hitting his shift key. he had the best of intentions, and yet... he's more than half an hour late when he drags into the library, drops down looking like he just left Fight Club (so don't ask), and when he takes out his book, it's literally broken in half. he stares at it for a moment, like even he is surprised, before he sets it down and tries admirably to pretend that didn't just happen.
awkward.
he doesn't come empty handed, though... as she stares him down he slides an apple juice along the table like its the holy grail. its a peace offering, please take it, MJ, he does at least feel bad about how long she's been waiting. ) Sorry, my cat got out, ( he lies badly, his lopsided grin all charm and bluster, if you don't count the split lip. it is kind of hard not to count the split lip, though. )
no i wont, cOLLEGE AUS YOU
