The shadow crouched on the roof began to apologize as he swung down a foot in front of me soundlessly, still I couldn't stop my eyes from darting to the curtains of my room.

"You okay? You look a little pale.." he spoke aloud in a soft but confident voice.

"Im- I'm fine. Just..why are you here again?! I don't want to deal with this right now."

"I'm sorry, I just felt like I had to come back here. I can leave if you want me to."

"You say sorry a lot you know that?"
The silence of the night prior returns as him and me stand there.

"Yeah. I do. Look I didn't really want to come back... someone just told me I should."

"Thanks." I reply, my mouth rounding into a confused grin.

"No! I didn't mean it like that," the eyes on his suit expand with anxiety. "Can you answer my question?"

My feet stay planted on the ground as I rack my brain for any question he had supposedly asked me before. "are you okay?" The super hero seemed genuinely worried, his stance on the tiled roof became more relaxed as I lowered my head, hiding the heat rising into my cheeks.

"I'm really fine, I swear."

"Y/n?!" Dot's shrill voice drifts through the glass doors.

Not now! My legs maneuvered to the opposite side of the balcony in order to distract any eyes from seeing the masked man perched above me.

Don't see him don't see him don't see him.
A high pitched squeak of metal rubbing against metal rang out, followed by footsteps.
"What are you doing?"
Dot's face contorted in confusion as she stepped out and looked around. "Did you find anything or..?" I could tell she was concerned about the fact I was standing outside, alone, and probably heard me hissing at 'nothing.' I forced my frown into a smile and approved her question,

"just a- squirrel! Yup a s-squirrel, they're always dropping their nuts." what has my life come to, covering for spiderman- well for myself- using an animal who collects nuts?

Should I be lying?

What's the point? It's not like I'm ever going to speak to him again. Me out of the seven billion people who inhabit this planet? Yeah, not going to happen. I'm still not entirely sure what happened a day or two ago but my memory of it is growing fuzzier by the hours.
My backpack swung side to side, syncing to the motion of my steps stomping along the deteriorating school floor. Looking up from my phone screen, the familiar brown curls hung upon the head of the same boy from yesterday. His brows were furrowed in concentration, attempting to remember the code for the locker standing in front of him.
I felt the corner of my mouth twitch into a smirk as I found myself a foot away from the head of curls.
"So are you always a jerk or just sometimes, I need to know who to avoid for the rest of the year." The boy's blue sweater pulled at his shoulder when they jolted at the sound of my voice. Eyes wide and mouth slightly agape, I'm able to see his face for the first time. Not bad looking...

"Oh- you're -are you talking to me?!"

"What? Not used to consequences?" I realize I'm being a little bitchy but I've had enough experiences with people who think they stand above everyone else.

"Uhm- no? I mean, I didn't mean to- who are you again?"

I clasp my lips together and nod slowly, eyebrows raised while purposely crashing into his shoulder as I step forward, causing his whole body to turn the way I'm headed."Oh, I'm sorry! Did I run into you?"

These are really short I'm sorryyyy:((
