"Yeah," Peter says quickly. "I don't really have a lot of close friends back home, though." Ned was about it. Maybe MJ, too, but she always seemed to hold people at arm's length. Peter didn't really take that personally, though, because she did that with everyone.
"Flash'd probably make fun of me for having an imaginary girlfriend," he says. "And then when I actually showed up with her, he'd probably find another way to give me a hard time."
That much, Peter was sure of. It'd probably be more mortifying to have him mock him in front of his girlfriend. Liz'd seen part of it and he'd really been embarrassed. In person, that embarrassment would almost certainly be multiplied.
