"There is about 32,000 known species of spider in the world. They're in the order arane which is divided into three groups." A lady begins to explain the process of the spiders as we all follow along. I yawn jokingly and look at Harry. He smiles back.

"That's amazing, this is the most advanced electron microscope in the Eastern Seaboard!" Peter exclaims in excitement. "Wow Pete pretty cool." I reply not even knowing what he was talking about.

I honestly didn't even understand a single thing the lady said I looked around and everyone seemed as dumbfounded as me. Somehow though Peter understood everything. I looked over at Harry, he was glaring at Mary Jane. I exhale and just look away from him.

"For the school paper?" Peter says. I spaced out and look at him. The lady just hmmed in response. Peter takes out his camera and tries to take a picture before he can even the press click flash and his dumb friends push him. Assholes.

"Don't worry you can take a picture of the next spider." I reassure him. "Not like anyones reads the school newspaper" Harry mumbled in my ear. I glare at him and he just smirks.

"Next we have the net web spider." She explains. I honestly couldn't understand what the actual fuck she was saying it was like she was speaking a whole language. Peter once again tried to take an another picture of the spiders, and once again flash and his dumb friends hit and bump him.

"Leave him alone." Harry says. "Or what?" Flashes friends barked. "Or his dad is gonna get your dad fired." Flash replied. They all start laughing at Harry and Peter.

"What's daddy gonna do, Harry? Sue me?" Flash argues. "Shut up flash." I say. "Ohh scary what you gonna do Azalea?" Flash moves closer to my face. "I dont know where do you think it would hurt less to hit?" I step closer towards him.

"What is going on?" Our teacher whispers loudly at all of us. Flash chuckles and walks away from us. We follow slowly behind. "Those guys really are jerks huh." Peter spoke quietly. "You know you really gotta start standing up for yourself peter." I admit.

"Yeah yeah as long as I have you guys I'll be okay." Peter says looking both at me and Harry. "Hey look at that spider." Harry points at a spider behind the glass. It has a big web around it. "Did you know some spiders change colors to blend into their environment, it's a defense mechanism." Peter whispers. Harry gives me a look of annoyance. "What makes you think I would want to now that?" Harry says. "Who wouldn't?" Peter replies. I just smile as we walk back behind the class.

I spot Mary Jane by her self. Which was a rare sighting considering her and flash seemed like they were attached by the hip. "You gonna talk to her pete?" I ask. He takes a big gulp. "No come on, Harry can talk to her." He mumbles under his breath. "Okay I will." Harry replied. He looked at me I froze and didn't say a thing. He moved toward Mary Jane and started a conversation.

"I don't know how he can be so cool around her." Peter asks me. "I don't know pete." I croaked in a low tone. Peter moved behind them and I followed, we listened in.

"I kinda love them, they're adorable." Mary Jane exclaims. "Yeah.. yeah I do too." Harry agreed. Marry Jane just looked at him, it was almost like she knew he was lying or something. "Right.." she replies, she looks at him and almost walked away. "Uh did you know, that some spiders can change their color to blend into their environment." Harry says. "Really?" Mary Jane replies. "Yeah. It's a defense mechanism." Harry continues.

"What an ass." I whisper in Peter ear. "It's fine. I think." Peter replies. "Hey don't you need a picture of a student for the school newspaper?" I ask and look at Peter he just nods still looking at Mary Jane and Harry. "Why don't you ask Mary Jane?" I suggest. "I was actually gonna ask you-" Peter tries to speak. "Yea i know but then this way you can actually talk to her." I try to convince him. He sighs "I can try."

"Into 15 super spiders." The presenter says pointing at 15 small glass boxes. "There's only 14." I say. "I beg your pardon." The presenter looks at me dumbfounded. "Yeah there's only 14." I point at the box with nothing inside but a web. "Uh perhaps they're still working on it."

"Did you know that this is the biggest microscope in eastern seaboard?" Harry looks at Mary Jane and repeats what Peter said earlier.

"What is wrong with you? You talked through that ladies entire presentation." Our teacher came up to harry. "Now why don't we talk about listening?" The teacher asked pulling him away from Mary Jane. The rest of the class followed behind the presenter. Mary Jane stood alone looking at the spiders. "Hey nows your chance. I gotta go save Harry." I exclaim and tap his back.

I follow behind the class and turn around. PETER WAS ACTUALLY SPEAKING TO HER. I gleam with excitement. Good job Azalea!

I begin to look for harry but he was probably in front. The presenter just goes on and on about spiders and then showed us a big spider statue could this day get even more boring? Soon enough Peter caught up to me. I smile and look at him. "How'd it go?" I ask. I needed details! "Good I took some picture but something bit me." He said and showed me his hand. It looked infected. "Does it hurt?" I grab his hand and try to examine it more. "Not really." Peter admits. "Then you got nothing to worry about." I reply and we continue on the field trip. After a few more showing on spiders Harry is finally let go from the teachers grip but by then it was about time to go.

"How was it?" I chuckle at harry. "Amazing, just hope he doesn't tell my dad anything." Harry complained. "You gonna take the bus with us?" Peter asks. "I think my drivers gonna pick me up and drop me off at home but I'll talk to you guys later." Harry says. Me and Peter just wave goodbye and we get into the bus.

I yawn. I was actually really tired but all I had to look forward to was that we could go home after this and I could take the fattest nap. Once everyone was on the bus Peter just went on and on about the spiders. When I asked about Mary Jane he just said he took a few pictures of her.

"Hey just in case you should ask your aunt may about that spider bite." I say. "It's probably nothing." Peter replies. He then just continues about how spiders could do amazing things.

After a few minutes the bus finally stops. I honestly spaced out and didn't notice Peter stopped speaking I look over at him and he looked like he was gonna throw up.

"You okay?" I ask him while we get off the bus. "Fine, See you tomorrow." He says walking away from me. "Bye!" I yell while waving at him, he doesn't respond. Maybe it was the spider bite?
