The White Widow (A Superhero novel)

Chapter 4- It was bound to happen

Chapter 4

Peter and I walked together to our Bio class, he told me about himself "I live downtown, its a good 25 minute ride my Grandpa drives me to school every morning. On the account that i live with him and my Grandma, my parents died when i was little. But i was raised around here, i know every part of Manhattan and dream of living around the Upper part some day. Once i get a good job as hopefully a scientist and at the same time be a photographer, my Grandpa was the one who actually got me into it and he knows more about technology then i do"

"Wow, my Grandparents can't even work a computer. We got my Grandma an IPhone for chistmas and yet she knows how to work that than even a computer" I told him.

He laughed and the cheeky smile appeared across his face "So Sierra, i have had my turn to talk sowhat about you? Where did you come from?"

I froze, Peter looked like a guy who could keep secrets but i wasn't quite certain i was ready to trust somebody. As we reached the classroom i took the plunge "I'm Sierra Rose Lawson and yes im the girl that you think has been missing for the last 3 years and my parents are re-opening their company today. People would find out eventually" I say quickly.

Peter stood still "You're The Sierra Lawson? God, do you want me to tell Miss Donelley who you are and tell her not to say anything, because i will" He says fast. I could see he was nervous.

I smiled, "You're the first person i have actually told. And you think it would be best for me to keep it under wraps? Peter you are a genuine person, and you didn't say anything about the rumors which aren't true!" I told him "Thank you though, but everybody would find out eventually"

"Well I will be by your side, you can sit next to me if you like"

"Thanks Peter"

The bell then sounded, an indication that we best should have been in class or waiting outside the classroom by now. "We can wait until everybody is seated?" He tells me.

I nod, we wait by the door and peer in. It only takes a few minutes until everybody is seated, then Peter pushes the door open gently. I wait behind him "Mr Connors, late" A womans voice said from the inside, the class giggled and some snarled.

"I'm sorry Miss Donnelly, I was showing the new student around" Peter tells her. He edges more in to the classroom and i follow behind him.He takes a few more steps in and so do i.

"Well, take to your seat i will see to the new student" She says, i look at her and she looks at me, the woman is tall dressed in the colours of beige "Well as Mr Connors might have told you that you will need to introduce yourself to the class"

I nod, and edge my way to the white board, the students all are dressed in bright clothes except from the few odd cheerleaders. Peter sits in an empty seat next to a guy that had shaggy black hair that nearly touches his ear, he has left a desk for me to sit next to. On the other side of the desk is a girl with blonde hair in a black blazer and red beret.

There was 30 pairs of eyes on me, i took a deep breath in and let the words fly out "My name is Sierra...Rose....Lawson" I told them "My parents are the founders of the company SLA or Sierra Lawson Arachnology and are re-opening their building today. But the rumors of whatever you have heard are not true" I then quickly gave a smile and made my way to my seat.

The class stared at me, except for Peter, he smiled "Well they took it well" He joked.

I smiled, all eyes wree still on me including Miss Donnelly who had folded her arms and was stuck in her place unable to move. "Yes! Im the girl you thought went missing!" I said raising my voice.

"Now Sierra, there's no need to be like that" Miss Donelly said "Class, we will begin todays topic of micro-biolodgy looking at yeast. Please get out your books and we may begin"

She then turned away and wrote MICRO-BIOLODGY on the board, she scrawled the last few letters on to the board before her pen started to run out. She pressed down harder, causing a screeching noise that pierced my ears. I heard things differently, that screching noise was just like a sqeak to the class, they didn't know how lucky they were.

"Class, i'm going to get some more pens. Please remain in your seats" She annouced, the woman then quickly disappeared through the door dashing out her heels clicking behind her.

The class then burst into a loud chatter, "You're the Sierra?" A guy shouted out. "Why did you go into hiding?" A girls voice shouted.

"Lay off her Jamie, it's her first day" Peter shouted.

"So? She should be hanging out with people like us by now not science nerds like you and James" The guy shouted out again, who i guess was Jamie "What do you say babe?"

I rolled my eyes "Don't pick on Peter" I say.

The guys ooohed and ahhed "Wow, backing up for the nerds" Jamie said.

Another voice then spoke up "Jamie, leave the little nerds on their own. Sierra should just settle in first, then come hang out with us" The voice said, i turned around to where a girl was sitting in a cheerleader uniform, her hair a dishwater blonde tied up in a high ponytail "Right Sierra?"

I huffed and folded my arms, Miss Donelly had only been gone for over a minute and yet in that minute i was being forced to join their little popularity group. I shrank back into my seat praying for Miss Donnelly to come back.

"Hey!" A voice said beside me, the fingers tapped on my shoulder but i reacted quickly. It was the girl who sat next to me, the red beret girl "Wow you have fast reflexes" She says "Im Lennie, and it's nice to meet you. I knew that stuff like the rumors weren't true, so i'm sorry for what you will have to put up with for the first few days. At least Peter is mature about this"

"Lennie, stop getting your nose into something you dont know" The shaggy boy who sat next to Peter said.

"Sorry. That's James by the way, Peters best friend the not-so-smart-one. Whereas i am" She said.

"That's no fair, Peter has helped me through Bio this year unlike you Lennon" James snapped.

Lennie rose from her seat, slowly focussing her eys on James. The class was on the edge of creating an earthquake just with their noise, it hurt my ears, i gripped hold of the table slowly crushing the ends of it. I gripped harder until i heard the door slam, Miss Donnelly had returned.
