"You and me, always forever"

Y/n's POV

When they informed you that you were placed in the AP class, you initially held the belief that it would be far more interesting than the others. However, your expectations were wrong. Mrs. Stancel, your AP teacher, seemed to do nothing but occupy her seat behind the desk and reprimand students whenever they spoke up. On top of that, she assigned you work on topics that hadn't even been covered in class.

"May I go to the bathroom?" you asked raising your hand. Mrs. Stancel's gaze bore into you for a moment before she dismissed you with a wave of her hand. Without bothering to sign out, you promptly left the classroom. As you stepped out, the door closed behind you, leaving you alone in the empty hallway. Contemplating your options, you withdrew your phone and began walking toward the bathroom.

"Dude, those are the guys from last night," you overheard Ned whispering. Glancing over, you spotted him and Peter huddled against the wall. You pocketed your phone and approached them.

"Are you skipping class too?" you asked. Peter urgently hushed you, then pulled you closer to them. "What's going on?" you whispered.

"Those guys tried to kill me last night!"

"Seriously?" Ned replied, taken aback.

"why are they here?" Peter asked, unaware of the answer to the first part.

"To finish the job!" Ned exclaimed, turning to Peter and gripping his shoulders tightly. "I won't let them kill you, Peter." Peter stared back at Ned, a mix of confusion and gratitude on his face.

"Thank you?"

"You're welcome. Now go, be Spider-Man, and save us... please," Ned pleaded. Peter's eyes widened, and he glanced around nervously. "What... What did I just say?"

"Wait, you're Spider-Man?" you interjected, adding a touch of excitement to the situation.

"Oh, thats what i said," Ned muttered as Peter sticked his head out cautiously before turning back to you. "Look, I'll explain more later, but right now, they're getting away. So... stay here, I'll be back." And with that, he disappeared in a flash. Ned slowly turned toward you, his expression a mixture of disbelief and apprehension.

"So, Peter Parker is Spider-Man?" Ned gulped, struggling to comprehend the revelation. "That's insane, and the fact that the school doesn't know and hasn't caught him—"

"DON'T SAY ANYTHING!" he interrupted, raising his voice and covering your mouth with both hands.

"Calm down, I'm just kidding," you reassured him, "I'm really good at keeping secrets. Unlike somebody." You playfully nudged Ned, but your attention was soon diverted by a knock on the glass behind you.

"What are you guys doing?" a fellow student asked from outside.

"Nothing," Ned responded, "You good?"

"Chess," the student replied, pointing to the chessboard. Ned nodded slowly, and you rolled your eyes. Taking advantage of the distraction, you quietly moved away from Ned and positioned yourself where the individuals had just disappeared. Stealthily, you crept down and concealed yourself behind a box near the wall. From your vantage point, you spotted Peter hidden beneath a table, clinging to the top while one of the men glanced in his direction. Remaining behind the box for a few seconds, you cautiously peeked your head out from the other side. Observing a broom conveniently situated behind the men, you employed your magical abilities to make it fall, diverting their attention and affording Peter an opportunity to react. Seizing the moment, Peter swiftly shot a web-like substance, and the two of you made a dash for it, escaping the precarious situation.
