Scarlet Spider: Sin

P1 - Chapter #3: Jealousy

(Nearly three hours later...)

It was Biology class now. The classroom was quiet, filled with sounds in form of whispers of confusion and groans between students. Not just whispers and groans, but sounds of Biology textbook pages being flipped back and forth, and the sound of pen scribbles on answer sheets. Only several minutes left before the end of the class for submission. Some threw their hands up in the air, some kept on doing the assignment.

The Parkers and the redhead were doing the assignment too. However, something set them apart than the rest of their classmates. Peter's eyes wouldn't move away from the assignment, simply moving from the textbook to the sheet back and forth. For one moment, he would frown his eyes on a question he couldn't answer. But then he would have an "Eureka!" moment seconds later. Kaine himself was listening to a variety of musics and songs through his black earphones, going with the flow like water. At times, one confusing question would stop him and make him grit his teeth, causing him to curse under his breath and move on to another question. As for Annabelle... she looked so lost and confused. Yet, she kept trying to do the assignment, sometimes asking for help from her friends, while humming Korean and French songs.

"Alright, class. Time's over!"

Just like that and most of the class were in complete chaos. Everyone, except the trio, was rushing to finish their papers. The three students exchanged grins and brought their answer sheets to the teacher's table.

The teacher chuckled at the three, amused on how they submitted the sheets together. "Not bad, Three Musketeers."

They giggled and returned to their seats and soon their classmates submitted theirs. Now, everyone's attention was on the Biology teacher as he was about to speak to the class.

"So. This is just a little reminder for everyone. Tomorrow is the field trip to one of Oscorp's labs. It's just a little tour to give you some insight on how science can help life." He then turned to Peter, "And perhaps satisfy the curiosity of one's mind."

Kaine and Annabelle turned their eyes to Peter, smirking at him. All the younger Parker could do was let out a deep sigh, as he was perhaps the only curious student among the trio. But he gave a certain look at his older cousin, his expression saying "Dude, you are too." Which made the older brunet snort.

"Remember to arrive on time, at 6:30 AM. Please keep in mind not to go to the classroom, but to the basketball field. The buses will be waiting and we will break down the details and activities of the trip. Afterwards, we will immediately go to the destination. If you have any questions, please contact me via e-mail. That's all for today, students. Be safe on your way home and have a good day!"

(Minutes later, at the school pick-up/drop-off site...)

"...Yes. Yes. Then turn right and go straight and you'll see the entrance to the school. I'm waiting at the pick-up/drop-off site... Yes. Thank you, sir. Much appreciated." Anna then pressed the "call off" button on her phone's screen. Before shoving her phone into the pocket of her black jeans, she gave a glance at her phone's digital clock and sighed to herself.

"Got only two and a half hours and I'm still not yet home..."

"What is it, Ann?" Kaine, who was sitting beside her on a bench, asked in a curious tone.

The redhead turned to him with tired eyes. "Eh. Just that I have music class at half past six," she let out a groan, "Wish I could just... ugh, have a little nap. But hey, at least I can have a little productive distraction."

The brunette teenager could only nod and gave her a sympathetic look.

The girl then asked, "K, is your dad gonna pick you up?"
