The White Widow (A Superhero novel)

Chapter 6- The Fight

Chapter 6

By the end of the week the looks and stares had gotten less and less as the days came by, on Friday morning my parents no longer rushed around the house they were calm. "Hey Si, can you pass me the bowls?" My dad said Friday morning.

I handed him the bowls to set up for our breakfast, i was making myself some poached eggs on toast first thing in the morning. My Dad was sitting at our kitchen table busy writing down notes on his 3rd spider Strength, or Fortitudine latin for strength. "How's the work coming along?" I asked him.

"Great, now the press have settled down it's going smoothly. Yet we are becoming more and more busy with creating a Aranea again. So it's came to our attention that we might need some help around the house" He explains "Your mother and I have decided to get us a butler who will be able to us around the house, he will also be your chaffeur for school"

I nearly choke as i put the first bite of poached egg in my mouth "Dad, we can't have somebody like that inside our house. What if they find out about me? What if they see me doing something out of the ordinary if you know what i mean?"

"You shouldn't be using your powers anyway you know how we feel about them. But our butler Bernie was an old friend of mine, he was a butler for my second cousin but he died a few months back and he lives around this area so i'm able to get him a job. He knows about you because i told him, for your safety anyway we will be able to trust him with our lives understand?"

I nod "As long as he parks a block away from my school, i don't want to be seen as a little rich kid"

"There will be none of that Sierra Rose, you are lucky to live in such a privalidged home. But i hear your class is visiting our building Wednesday?"

"Yeah, for Biolodgy we are beginning to discuss Arachnids so to start us off with some kowledge we are visiting your place"

"Great"

Once I had made my way to school that morning i had managed to get the hang of my timetable, every day except for Thursday's i had Bio, Chem and Physics, it had taken me a while to memorise my timetable but with the help of Peter during homeroom it did. Peter was waiting outside the school when i had arrived, smiling and was standing with James and Lennie.

"Hey Sierra!" Lennie shouted out, when i heard her voice i covered my ears and walked over "Was my voice really that loud?" She sad in a quiet voice.

"I just have sensitive ears" I told her.

She nodded slowly, I looked around waiting for Peter to say something. "Well, this is awkward" James said "Im going inside then" he said walking off.

Peter still remained quiet "Everything okay?" I asked him.

"Yeah" He said adjusting his glasses.

"I dont believe it. You're not really this quiet"

"Im fine!" He snapped, Peter then went and followed James behind him.

"Whats up with Peter?" I ask looking back at him, Lennie shrugs her shoulders.

"His Grandpa, had a heart attack last night. Peter's grandmother isn't doing so well either, so i'm guessing he told you about how his Grandpa drives him to school every day. He had to walk and it gave him bad memories from when he was little" Lennie explains "He nearly fainted, but James got there in time. So he came up to school today in a Rolls Royce"

"Rolls Royce?"

"Yeah" She nods "James's Dad is a big company guy, like your parents his dad owns DeyInc? They're the company that helps with the weapons for the military, he's like a billionaire and lives in this fancy condo in the middle of NYC"

"James doesn't talk much does he?" I ask.

She shakes her head "He usually talks all the time, we had trouble shutting him up but since you came we have tried to get him to talk. I think it's pure jealousy 'cause you hang out with Peter so much"

I am shocked. Utterly shocked, I thought James was one of them automated quiet guys who had nothing to say. But what Lennie told me makes a difference, he must have a whole lot to say about me.

The bell then goes off, I follow Lennie inside as we walk to English together. It was my third time this week having English and now it was just getting boring, but the day had just began.

By Lunch was when things got out of hand, Peter and I walked out of homeroom together but he dashed off to his locker leaving me to walk by myself. The hall was jammed as i walked to my locker, i heard people shouting and chants, i soon then picked up my pace following the crowd. "Fight! Fight! Fight!" The students kept on chanting.

I pushed my way through the crowd, there was a large circle by the lockers. I then saw a large guy who must have been senior yet no little freshman to beat him up, that was until i got closer. I pushed my way through one more time to having a front row seat of it, realising that the kid was being beaten up was Peter.

"Peter!" I shouted running over to him.

The senior was extremely tall, had short hair and didn't have a single mark on him whereas Peter had a couple marks on him. "Move out the way" he growled.

I brushed down my cardigan and smiled "No, you go through him you have to grow through me"

"Listen, i don't want to hurt you. But get out my way before i do" He says.

I laugh and stand still watching his footsteps as he walked by me, the smirk still remained. But the guy let out a huff and rolled his hand up into a ball, and threw a punch straight at me.

With my powers i quickly ducked, falling to the floor with my legs streched out. I then turn my right leg forward and kicking him before falling to the floor, "You little..." He says.

I smile and run over to Peter, picking up his camera and his backpack "Sorry, about your...um camera and backpack" I tell him.

Lennie and James help Peter up "You shouldn't be sorry, I should be thanking you. Nobody ever stands up to Josh, not evens girl they always fall for weak for him" Peter laughs.

James looks at me from under his bushy hair "How did you do that?" He asks.

I look away from him and help Peter up, i grab his hand and thrust him up too quickly resulting in his neck whipping around. "Sorry!" I say again.

"Its fine" He mutters.

James looks at me one more time, and he knows something is up.
