Truth, Lies and Alibis (Peter Parker x Reader)

Prologue

Please don't judge the book on the first few chapters, I know this prologue is poorly written but I was going for kind of a kids-perspective and it's important for context later on LOL PLS HAVE FAITH IN ME COS I DONT. AND I KNOW ITS CLICHE THE PROTAGONIST IS AN ORPHAN BUT LETS SKIP PAST IT OKAY??? AHAHAHAHA LOVE YOU 

"Can I play with you guys please?" I asked nervously, clutching my teddy bear, Snowball, close to my chest.

"Why would we play with a freak like you?" Molly laughed, the rest of her friends joining in. "You're such a loser, with that bear. What are you? 3?" They all laughed and pointed.

I pouted and ran away to hide behind the water fountain and cry. Making friends had not been easy for me, I'd only just moved here, all the friends I had were back at the orphanage. I'd promised my new mum and dad I'd try harder to make friends but the only one who seemed to not laugh and ignore me was Snowball.

It was all so new and so different. It was scary. I was living with a new mum and dad, they seemed nice but I wondered how long it would be until they took me back. Some of the other mums and dads who had tried to adopt me never made it past a week or two. I never knew why, I tried to be on my best behaviour. I guess they just didn't like me. No one seemed to.

I took my bear in my hands. "I'm sorry Snowball, but we can't be friends anymore. I have to go and make some real friends and they don't like kids who still play with stuffed animals." I sniffled, laying him down on the concrete. "I need this mum and dad to like me, a-and they'll be sad if I don't make some friends. I'm sorry." I began walking away, using the sleeve of my cardigan to wipe my tears. It hurt so much but I was running out of options.

"Hey!" I heard a voice behind me, I ignored it. No way they were referring to me. "Hey you, you dropped this." They turned me around with one hand, the other holding Snowball. It was a boy from my class, I hadn't spoken to him before.

"I didn't drop him, I left him."

"Why?" He asked, his eyebrows furrowing.

"Because I keep getting bullied because I still play with him. And everyone thinks I'm stupid. I am stupid." I sink my hands into my pockets.

"I don't think you're stupid. I still have stuffed animals, my favourite one's name is Chewy, after Chewbacca. My uncle Ben won him for me at Coney Island last year."

"What's a Chewbacca?" I questioned.

"What?! Have you never seen Star Wars?!" He said a little angry, I flinched and shook my head. "Sorry, I-I didn't mean to scare you. It's just that they're the greatest movies of all time."

"I wouldn't know, they only ever played Disney Princess movies at the orphanage." I shrugged.

"You're an orphan?" He asked surprised, I nodded. "Me too. I lost my parents when I was really young, I don't remember them much. Do you remember your parents?"

"They died before I was born." I sighed.

"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean to upset you."

"It's fine. I'm used to it now I guess. I have a new mum and dad anyway. I'm just worried they're gonna take me back there, they want me to make some friends but no one seems to want to play with me."

"We could be friends?" He suggested, a smile spreading across his face.

"Really?!" I get excited.

"Yeah of course. Come on, I'll introduce you to my friend Ned! I'm sure he'd love to meet your bear!" He grabs my arm and drags me along.

"My name's y/n by the way."

"Peter. Peter Parker."

I know this is only the intro but be brutally honest, how is it so far? I already am regretting this lol I still suck at writing. But it'll get more interesting in the next chapters (hopefully) and longer chapters, but I just wanted to introduce the relationship between how y/n and Peter met.
