ED BECK'S FUNERAL WAS TODAY.

We all said our goodbyes for the very last time. Perhaps hoping that everything was all a bad dream and that he is probably somewhere alive–

Maybe in another universe.

But this is reality and Ed Beck is gone.

Mostly everyone from the Europe trip and in our grade attended, showing respect towards him. There were some family members who came on behalf of Ed's parents as they couldn't be present, unfortunately.

After the service, some of our classmates decided to sit around the park benches outside of the funeral home. We didn't talk for a while - just acknowledging the presence of each other.

"I just can't believe it's already been two weeks since the attack, it only felt like yesterday." Betty mumbled, "Poor Ed."

MJ slowly nodded in response, "Yeah, he didn't deserve it...But I still don't get why Ed was going to kill us."

I gulped and glanced towards Peter - Ned did the same.

"I don't know. But he ended up sacrificing for all of us." Flash replied, "Maybe, he was trying to kill the drones?"

"Yeah, maybe or–"

"Guys! Can we not talk about how he died?" Betty started, "It's too much. Please..."

We all nodded again, I noticed that Peter was looking in my direction, his face said it all. He looked sorry - very sorry. But it was not his fault - none of it was. Peter was fighting to keep all of us safe but still wouldn't get appreciated for it. So if anyone should feel bad, it is me.

I gave him a faint smile, and he returned one too.

"Sorry. We won't talk about it anymore." MJ spoke calmly.

"So...Tomorrow? First day of senior year." Flash said, "How are you all feeling?"

I shrugged, "I don't know actually, everything has gone by so quickly so it still feels unreal to believe that we're seniors now."

"Yeah, seniors." Ned sighed, "Last year of high school."

"I hope nothing goes wrong this year. I mean what's the worst that can happen, right?"

A few days have gone by, and we have all adopted into our first semester of senior year. I was in last period class, Biology - learning about evolution, different types of evolution in animals and plants, how species became what they are today.

I was working through the textbook that Mr Gordon assigned us to do when I got a text from MJ. We weren't allowed on our phones in class, but there were multiple fires of notifications, so it must have been urgent. I secretly pulled out my phone and checked.

MJ: Hey Y/N, have you seen this?

Then she sent me a link to a video that was posted from the Daily Bugle.

I put the sound as low as possible and watched it.

"THIS IS BREAKING NEWS!"

I shuffled in my desk and covered my phone behind some large textbooks, to not get caught.

A news reporter started introducing that this is about the London Attack that happened two weeks ago.

"An anonymous source has provided his video, it shows Quentin Beck aka Mysterio moments before his death. A warning, you may find this video disturbing."
