I take a sip of coffee as I was relaxing in the cafe. I was meeting up with Gwen to discuss the break-up and how she is feeling.
Obviously, not well. In the meantime, I was checking out colleges to see which was right for me. I had no idea which will be best for me.
They all seem pretty formal, which I'm immature so let's see how that'll work out. Not well, that's for sure.
I heard the door open and close. I look up and saw Gwen. She looked as beautiful as ever even though I'm sure she's a mess under all that.
She takes a seat in front of me after ordering her beverage and muffin. "Hi."
"Hey, Gwen. Hows it going?" I chirp as I set my computer aside.
"Good, how are you?" She asked me.
I shrug. "Trying to figure out which college to apply to."
She smiled. "That's exciting. Have you decided yet?"
"I wish. My dad wants me to attend Harvard as if I'm some smart-ass." I joke with her as she grinned.
"I'm sure you could get accepted if you applied." Gwen says.
"Yeah. I wish. My dad would never raise his voice at me again if that were the case." I reply which made her giggle.
"So, have you reached out to any colleges?" I asked, taking a bite of my muffin.
She sighed, nodding. "Yeah, I have. It's a bit far away from here."
I frown, already missing my friend. "Oh? Are you excited?" I had asked.
She shrugged. "I am. I can't wait till it begins. I think it'll be good for me anyways!"
"Yeah, well I'm glad. Where's it at?" I asked her, setting my elbows on the wobbly table.
She smiled. "England."
My eyes widen. "England! Oh that's so far. Will you promise to visit?" I ask.
She nodded, giggling. "Of course, Y/N. I wouldn't leave you with only Parker by your side!" She teased me as I giggled.
"Gee, thanks. I'll need you." I tell her before taking a sip of my coffee.
She nodded. "They haven't answered me back yet as I only applied last night."
I nodded. We continued chatting for the rest of the morning together up until she had to get to work at Oscorp where she had been working since graduation.
I've thought of applying for a job there but I figured what would be the point if i'll be leaving for college anyways? I sigh as she leaves the little shop.
I gather my things and set them in my brown satchel. I then hurriedly walk out of the door only to bump into someone.
I gasp. "I am so sorry. I'm in a big rush and I didn't notice you.." I started rambling until I looked into his aqua blue eyes.
I couldn't help but get lost in them. He smiled.
"No worries. Go ahead first," He says. I smile, thanking him before walking out of the cafe.
I couldn't help but thinking about him the rest of the way home. He was really cute, I kept thinking over and over again.
He looked oddly familiar though. That I didn't quite understand because I'd be sure to remember a handsome face like his.
It didn't matter anyways. I sigh, going back on my laptop to try and find a nice college or at least a decent one that sounded appealing to me. Sadly, none did.
Is college even for me? I start to wonder. Suddenly, I got a text message from Peter.
I sigh, opening it up. I saw that he wanted to hangout. I almost felt bad for hanging out with him right after their breakup but I still did anyway.
We're all friends after all. I made my way to wherever the place he said to meet up at. It was nice, I'll admit but it looks a lot like the cafe I was at earlier.
I greeted him, taking a seat beside him.
"Hey, Peter!" I set my bag down beside my feet as he nodded.
"Hi, Y/N. What have you been up to? I saw that we haven't hung out in awhile." He frowned.
"I'm sorry Pete." I gave him a comforting smile. He shrugged his shoulders.
"It's okay. I guess it's bound to happen when you're the hero of the city." He joked which I didn't find funny.
"I don't get it?" I frown.
His eyes widen. "Forget I said that." His reaction made me even more curious.
I then thought for a moment and then I gasp. "You're.. Spider-man!" I whisper shout.
He sighed, slowly nodding. I jump up in excitement.
"No fucking way. So you're the one who saved me from that burning building?" I ask. He nodded.
"Surprise, Y/N." He giggled at my reaction. I was in complete shock but I was happy to know that my best friend is a total bad ass.
"That's so cool." I gasp. He shook his head, laughing.
"I'm serious. That's epic!" I state.
"Why, thank you. I just hope it doesn't change anything between us as you now know." He frowned.
"Of course not. Why would it?" I frown.
"I just don't want you to see me as Spider-Man. I just want you to see me as Peter Parker." He replied.
I nodded, pulling him in a side hug. "This doesn't change anything. Also, I won't say anything to anyone."
He chuckled. "Good."
"So, what have you been up to?" I asked, grinning.
"Well, I'm in college." He answered. I throw my hands up in defeat.
"What?" He then frowned.
"Even YOURE in college! I can't find one suitable for me." I say, crossing my arms.
"Oh, I'm sorry Y/N. I'm sure you'll find one soon enough." Peter patted my back for comfort.
"I sure hope so." I say, frowning.
He nodded and we didn't say anything for awhile but suddenly the news popped up. It occurred to me that it was about Norman Osborn's death.
"Wow.. I never realized he was sick," I say aloud. I glance over to Peter and he had a look of confusion.
I shrug, grabbing out my book. As soon as I sat back up, I saw the guy on tv. The guy I bumped into earlier.
"Peter, it just came to me that I bumped into Norman Osborn's son." I laugh at my stupidity.
Peter's eyes widen. "I'll be back.. wait, do you wanna come with me? You could meet Harry."
I was hesitant but I nodded. "Sure! I don't see why not,"
I put my things away as I head out with Peter following behind me. I was nervous to meet Mr. Osborn but he seems like a nice person from earlier.
Eeek!
