"C'mon webshooters, don't fail me now!!" I say nervously as I keep trying to get them to work.
I'm finally able to get it to work, right as I'm about to crash into a dumpster. It saves me from splatting on the pavement, but it didn't save me from slamming right into the dumpster. Oww! As I pick myself up, I hear my ringtone. Pulling out my phone, it's Aunt May.
"Peter, where are you?" She asks right as I place my ear to the phone.. I can only assume she's worried about me once more.. Even though she doesn't need to worry so much.
I pull up my mask so my voice isn't as muffled.
"Hi Aunt May. Oh I just decided to go out for an evening stroll. Needed a breather from studying. Don't worry, I'm on my way home now." I reply with this calmness in my voice.
"Okay.. Well be careful.. Love you Peter."
"Love you too Aunt May. Have a good night!" I hang up and start making my way home. Do all black cats give bad luck or something? Ah, who am I kidding.. That's just a silly myth. Anyway, she's probably long gone, after this whole blunder. Thankfully, traffic is pretty quiet right now, so it doesn't take me too long to get home. The lights are off, as I climb up and into my room. I take off my costume and put it in the back of my closet. Turning off the computer I had left on, I go and have a quick shower before going to bed.
--------------------
I wake up to the smell of pancakes, and I wipe my eyes as I'm getting dressed for the day ahead. Once dressed, I go downstairs and sit down at the kitchen table. Once the pancakes are ready, Aunt May brings them over, and I dive in. She sits down across from me and starts to speak.
"So Peter, are you busy tonight?"
"No plans that I can think of.. Why?"
"Well, the Hardy Foundation is throwing a fundraising event tonight, and I figured it would be nice if we both went. Lydia Hardy is a good friend of mine, and I haven't seen her in a while."
"Sounds nice.. But why do I need to come?" I ask curiously, trying to figure out her ulterior motive.
"Oh that's obvious! You need to get out more!! You're always stuck in your books, which is great! But you need to enjoy your youth while you can as well! Besides, you'll get to see Felicia all dressed up and looking absolutely beautiful. If you won't go for yourself, go for me.. Please?" And there it is.. The true reason she wants me to go.. Part of what she's saying is true though, I do need to get out more. Guess I won't be doing any heroics for today..
"Okay, okay.. Still can't believe you're trying to set me up with Felicia though." I reply, as I finish my last pancake.
"You should get going Peter! Otherwise you'll be late." She says, as she's looking at the clock.
"Alright, well have a good day!" Giving her a hug, I grab my backpack, and quickly get my shoes on, before dashing out the door. The bus appears and stops at the bus stop. Once there, I notice Henry Jackson getting in, and in a single file format, I follow behind him. One of Flash Thompson's friends that's actually somewhat nice to me. At least, when he's not around Flash. He lives right across the street from me, so we would sometimes hang out when we were younger. Along with Eugene before he got all 'high and mighty' and became the Flash I know him as today. The bus ride is noisy like usual, with everyone chatting and gossiping. It doesn't take long before we reach Midtown High, and I step onto the school grounds. First stop is my locker.. I place my bag into my locker in an organized fashion, as I take out my gym bag.
"P.E first period.. What a way to start the day.." I mutter, as I let out a yawn.
I get changed, and wait around in the gymnasium, as the rest of the class fills the room.
"Hey Pete!"
"Oh hey Harry.." I say surprised.. Totally didn't see him come in.. Weird..
"So word is that we're getting another new transfer student today. Two in the span of two days.. Like how crazy is that?"
"Guess it's that time of year.." I reply with little enthusiasm.
"Alright, quiet down class.. Now we have a new student joining our class today.. And please, be nice.. It's her first day. I'll let her introduce herself now, so that we can get to the fun stuff!" Coach Finstock says with eagerness.
A girl walks up to the front, and I get this odd sense of déjà vu.. It feels like I've seen her before..
"Hi everyone.. My name's Cheyenne, and it's nice to meet you all. Let's have a good year together, ok? Alright!" With that, she sits down as everyone applauds.
Wait a minute.. The lightbulb finally goes off, and I realize who it is. It's that girl from last night. The other thief there that wasn't Black Cat.. What is she doing here?
