The Space Between

4

Elaine Brown. That was my mom's name. World wide known scientist. The smartest person I ever knew. She died from a lab accident when i was just 9 years old. Or that's at least what my dad told me. He had been growing more distant from me ever since the accident. But all people grieve in different ways, right?

I opened my window to see the warm sunshine peaking through the clouds. I stuck my head out the window and took a deep breathe in and- It was officially spring, you know what that means.
"ACHOO" I jerked backward and hit my head on my window.

"Well today is just off to an amazing start." I thought in a sarcastic tone.

I pushed my old creaky window shut and started to get ready for school. Then I opened up my phone to find a text message from my dad.

"Hey kiddo please stop by the store before school and pick up a carton of eggs."

"Sure" I texted back.

He never had the time to pick up groceries. Yet alone spend time with the only family he had left. But he is trying you know. He provides for me and I am internally grateful.

So before school I got eggs, brought them home, and got Mrs. Johnson's umbrella which I returned to her with a smile.

Monday Afternoon 2:30 English Class
"Happy Monday everyone. I hope you all had a good weekend but we got to get moving into this new book if we ever want to finish it."

"Wait a book! What book?!" I thought to myself while secretly panicking.

Peter Parker notices and says, "Hey lane, we can share my copy if you want. I mean it is completely up to you but-"

"Thank you, Peter." I said

"Anytime" he replied.

WAS HE BLUSHING? OMG. PETER PARKER LIKES ME

Authors Note:

I had a little bit of writers block going on and had the PSATS today. Just in case you want a schedule I will be posting TUESDAY AND THURSDAY.Hopefully this will motivate me to write more, and help with some of the confusion you may have.

Also if you took a really close look, you might have noticed that this chapter has not title. Again I am really sorry haha I'm not that creative so from now on except boring names. Thank you again for all of your support!! We are growing by the week! Love you all - Ana🤎
