### Mary Jane Watson: Her Story

Mary Jane Watson is the girl-next-door. I mean that both figuratively and literally — at least for me. She is familiar, approachable, and reliable friend whose bedroom window is like seventeen feet from my own. For a long as I've known MJ (that's what I call her), she's wanted to be an actress or model but has recently taken an interest in journalism. No matter what she ends up doing in life, I am sure she'll be amazing.

MJ has lived next to me since we were both seven. MJ moved into her aunt's house with her older sister and mother the first summer I had without my parents. I was in the backyard with my mother's old camera snapping some shots of Aunt May's flowers, trying to focus on the colorful petals when everything else seemed to gray and lifeless, that's when I saw MJ step out her house. The sun caught her beautiful red hair and fair skin in such a way that I had to take her picture. She approached me to make sure I wasn't a weirdo or pervert and once I convinced her to I was just a shutterbug, she told me she was going to be famous one day and I could have the honor of being her first "official" photographer. We have been friends since.

MJ and I spent much of our elementary education as classmates when I got into Midtown, I almost didn't go without MJ. Though I got to spend more time with Harry at Midtown, I did miss walking home from school with MJ. Luckily, MJ was able to get into Midtown the next year when the school expanded its performing arts program and she wrote a really top-notch essay for a scholarship contest.

Eighth grade was amazing, in no small part because of MJ and the two of us being paired up for our school newspaper as the writer and photographer for the paper's Events page.

## Trivia and Notes

### Trivia

#### Fun Facts

* MJ hates sports, likely because her dad was a sports fan.
* MJ is fairly obsessed with astrology and horoscopes. I'm sure she knows they're just silly superstition, but she enjoys them all the same. She is a Gemini apparently and she likes to tease me that somehow means that she and I (a Libra) are soulmates or something.
* MJ loves fashion. She's also a great seamstress. When I tear my clothes I prefer to go to MJ for a quick stitch so I don't have to hear a lecture from Aunt May about how "Your Uncle and I aren't made of money, you know?"
* MJ was my first kiss. It was the last weekend before we started seventh grade. Knowing we wouldn't see each other as much, we were in her room listening to music when "Kung Fu Fighting" came on. MJ mock attacked me and that turned into a tickling match before MJ suddenly kissed me. I was so dazed and confused that she easily grabbed a heavy pillow and delivered a finishing blow.
* MJ hates math, but she's actually really good at it. Without even trying she has a knack for pointing out errors in my math homework. I tried to coerce her into taking chemistry with me but she was adamant that I was a big enough nerd for both of us. It's all for the best though. If MJ had taken chem lab with me than I would never have been paired up with Gwen and had the chance to become friends (or whatever we are).
* MJ's favorite food is "Mexican" — Tacos, burritos, nachos, quesadillas, or whatever. It doesn't matter. She loves it all.
* MJ is big believer in embracing small moments. One of MJ's favorite things to do with me is when a catchy song comes on to shout "Twenty second dance party" If I don't dance with her, I get glare and a solid slug to the arm.
