The Other Parker

Part 3

Lunch was over before we knew it. I forgot how nice it was to have friends. If you can call them friends. I grabbed my things and went to my other classes until it was my last class, PE.

"Hey, Gwen." Flash yelled to me. "You look cute today."

I didn't expect that. There was probably a catch.

"Cute as a Barbie doll that is."

There it was. I marched over to Flash, and whispered in his ear. "You're one to talk. You look like you were born in a dumpster." And kneed him where the sun won't shine. Peter came over and teared me off of Flash.

"Gwen," he said warningly. "What did you say to him?"

I smirked. "I told him nothing that wasn't true."

Peter facepalmed as the bell rang. "First one to the car gets to drive!" He yelled jumping up but, I was already gone. I ran to the car desperate to bet Peter but, Pietro stood in my way.

"What do you want?" I said annoyed.

Pietro shrugged. "Wanda dared me to stand here until you make me move."

I shove him aside. He's nice but I can't let Peter win. "Sorry but, I've got to go." I ran as fast as I could to the paring lot. Peter stood by the car.

"You snooze you loose huh?" He said smirking.

I curse under my breath. "Pietro was in my way."

"Get in the car Miss. Excuses."

We got in the car. I saw a spider. It crawled up my arm and bit me. "Ouch."

"What - Ow!" Peter exclaimed as the spider bit him too. I quickly grabbed my shoe and killed it.

"It''s gone." I said as we pulled up to the apartment. I stood up and then sat down. "Do you feel a little woozy?"

Peter nodded. "Why don't we just head to the apartment and get some rest. May won't be back until 11."

I walked up the stair and to the couch. I fell back and let my eyes close.
The next I knew Aunt May was standing over me.

"GWENDLYNE MAXINE PARKER! ARE YOU AWAKE?" She screamed at me.

I rubbed my eyes. "Why are you yelling?"

May's voice lowered. "I'm not. I was just talked at a normal volume. Happy Saturday by the way."

I'm confused. "You weren't talking normally, you yelled. Right now you're talking normal."

"Honey, I'm whispering." May says with concern in her eyes. "Are you feel okay?"

I sat up. "No, my head is pounding and I feel tired. Like really, really tired."
May tilts her head. "That's odd, Peter said he felt the same way. Maybe it's just a special connection. I'll get you some medicine."

Connection. Something snapped in my brain. Me and Peter both got bitten by that weird looking spider. The weird looking spider! I quickly searched up a spider with matching description. I found nothing but an article about using spiders to test a new type of super soldier serum. The serum was said to give you super senses reflexes and strength. And if the spider bit us then we must have gotten some sort of powers, in theory. I stood up and tried to make my way into our room. Finally, I made it. I flopped onto my bed and looked at Peter.

"I know what happened."

Peter looked up. "Huh?"

"I know why we both feel horrible." I made eye contact with him. "We got bitten by a radioactive spider. There's research to show it. I don't know what the side effects are but, we should both have some sort of powers. Potentially."

Peter stared at me wide eyed. "You're telling me I'm a superhero! What should my name be? Ohhh, spiderman. And you can be spider Gwen! No, that's to obvious. How 'bout Spidergirl. It's perfect!"

I rolled my eyes. "Moving on, we should focus on getting some rest and how to stop feeling horrible."

Peter rolled over and mutter something along the lines of sounds good.
