"Right thanks." I wave goodbye and walk out the store. I exhale and look at the big bright sign. 'Piggy's Bakery'. Why the actual fuck is it harder to get a job in New York City than it is to get into a college here?

I look down at my hand, take out the pen from my Jean shorts pocket and cross out Piggy's Bakery. I only had one more bakery left. Really wishing my only skill wasn't baking right now. I mean I could put that im a tech nerd but what the hell would that get me? And a tech job seems harder to get.

I begin to walk away from the bakery. It has been a few weeks since Harry's dad finally let us move into the apartment but he said and I quote. "I will take care of the price of the apartment but you will need to take care of food and other essentials."

Like come on dude! He thinks 3 college students who just got out of high school will be able to provide basic necessities? I sigh again god I wonder how much harder college is gonna be. I just hope it's nothing like high school.

I feel my phone vibrate in my pocket. I pull it out as I continue to walk. 'Mom' I roll my eyes. She probably worried which she shouldn't be!

I put on a fake smile and answer. "Hello?" I say in a sweet voice. "Oh! Azalea!" She exclaims. I pull my phone away from my ear as she yelled right into them. "Hi mom." I reply. "How are you!!" She continues to yell.

"I'm fine mom, you honestly don't have to worry." I reassure her. "Well you never know and I've been hearing stuff." She whisper. "Like what?" I ask genuinely curios. "There is this thing that has been catching criminals..." she says.

I have heard things like that too but I didn't quite remember the name. "The boy of spiders?" She questions. "Hm no... it's something like." Before I could hear what she said I was passing a newspaper stand and a women yelled at people walking by.

"Read all about the Amazing Spider-Man!" The women yells at me. I clench my phone. "Oh that's it!" My mom yells at me through the phone. "Spider-Man?" I question my mom. She hums in response.

"Um mom can you give me a sec?" I ask her. "Yes of course." She sings. I cover the phone speaker and walk up to the news lady.

"How much?" I ask looking up at her. "For?" She asks back. I point at the newspaper with a picture of people intertwined in a big spider web. "10 bucks." She smiles.

I swear everything in New York is so over priced. I give the lady a fake smile and search through my pockets. Fuck I swear I had 10 bucks.

I finally find a crumbly and wet 10 bucks, the women cringes but takes the money. I grab the new paper and walk away from her. "You still there mom?" I ask my mom, while placing the phone in between my shoulder and cheek.

"Oh! Yes sweetie right here." She giggles. I assume she is giggling at Sebastian. I start to read the article of this weird creature that's protecting us New Yorkers. "So uh what else have you heard mom?" I gulp.

"Well they're clearly some kind of super hero right!" She rejoices. I squint my eyes at the picture trying to notice anything but it was literally just two robbers glued to a spider web. "Yeah..." I space off reading the column. "You there sweetie?" My mom asks. "Sorry yeah mom, I think I'm gonna go I have to head back home soon anyways." I state.

"Oh okay my pretty, take care please and I'll call you tomorrow love you lots!!" She exclaims. "Love you too mom bye." I giggle and hang up. I put my phone in my pocket and look through the paper.

There wasn't really that much information all that was said, was how much crime he has stopped. Weird.

Honestly I knew I would see a bunch of weird shit in New York but a fucking super hero? Nah. Now that's something you would never expect.

I continue to walk til a reach a subway. I walk down the stairs. I was taken aback to a man practically yelling his song to me.

"We should all give this Spider-Man a big huuuuuuuugggg." He sings at my face. I just try my best to get by him without anything weird happening. I look at my hand and read the last bakery on my list.

Maybe the 30th time is the charm? Can you believe there is this many fucking bakeries in New York and not a single one wants to hire me.

This bakery was called 'Lovers Toad Bakery.' Weird ass name first of all but then again this one is right by where I go to school so I can go  straight from school to my job so?? That's a major benefit.

I begin to search on which I had to take to get there first. As I was searching I soon notice the clock. Damn it was fucking 7. I swear the sun was still up. I sigh and just look for the one I had to take to get home.

I turn around and soon realize it's the one that was about to depart. I run and luckily catch it. I smile awkwardly at everyone while holding on to the poll.

My phone buzzes, I look at it, two texts from Peter and Harry pop up. They both read the same thing.

"Where are you?!"

I chuckle, and begin to type I should probably only respond to Peter since it's 7 Harry is probably home so Peter can just show the text to Harry, hm smart thinking azalea. Well thank you Azalea.

I shake my head, why the fuck am I talking to myself.

"I'm on my way." I text back.
