"I'll be going now, thank you for waiting" you smiled, packing your laptop in your bag.
You were at the library studying as you had a English assessment in the morning, but you forgot to keep an eye on time. The librarian, Mrs Ramirez, was very used to you being there late.
"Look at the time!!" Mrs Ramirez scolded, gesturing her hand at the clock, "Pretty girls like you shouldn't be out at this time. There are millions of creeps roaming the streets."
"I'm like the most safe person ever. Plus, my apartment block is only down the road, and I love spending time with you" You said, smiling innocently.
"Don't blame this on me! Now go home before I call the police on you for loitering in my library" Mrs Ramirez laughed, slapping your arm.
You left and shut the door behind you. Mrs Ramirez had always been a mother figure in your life, and she had done a lot for you since you were little. You held the straps of your side bag tightly, she wasn't lying, it was a very dangerous neighbourhood. You kept your eyes on the concrete below you.
"Um, excuse me miss?" A voice from above you said.
You looked up to see a figure hanging above you from a lamppost.
"Is everything okay? It's kinda late, and you know how these streets are and everything- not that I don't think you're capable of protecting yourself because you're a girl, it's just very dangerous as there are bad people in the streets you know. I'm sure you know that though" He rambled as you were in genuine shock a literal superhero was talking to you.
"Oh, don't worry about me, I'll be fine." You nodded, your eyes examining his suit discretely.
"Are you sure? I can walk you home, villains and criminals are like, totally intimidated by me" Spiderman said, subtly gloating.
"Actually, is it okay if you walk me home? It's only down here." You said, pointing down the street.
"It's no trouble!" Spiderman said, jumping down.
The walk wasn't that bad, you really wanted to ask him questions, but you felt like if you did, you would be bothering him. Walking with him was oddly familiar, maybe you'd felt that way since it was quite comforting to be right next to a superhero.
"Oh, this is my apartment block" you smiled, "thank you for walking with me, spiderman."
"It's no problem honestly, I'm glad you asked me" he said, his eyes lenses widening a bit.
"Is it okay if I can take a picture with you? Just so I can prove to myself and my friends this actually happened" you said, laughing sheepishly.
"Of course" he laughed lightly, "get my good side"
You took the picture, awkwardly smiling. You thought to yourself he could literally be pulling any face at the camera right now, but you couldn't even see because of his mask.
"You have a beautiful smile, by the way." His voice was almost inaudible.
You could feel heat rising in your cheeks as you thanked him, "I better get going, I'm sure my sister is worried about me. Thank you again for walking with me"
You walked up to the front door and turned around to see spiderman had already swung off. You got inside and walked to your apartment. It was on the bottom floor but it was the furthest one away from the entrance, hidden away. You opened the door to see your older sister Maeve slumped over the couch, snoring obnoxiously loud. You laughed quietly as you covered her with a blanket, trying your hardest not to wake her. You went into your room and laid in your bed, staring at the picture. You put your phone down as his words repeated in your head. Did he really mean that? He probably says that to all the girls he meets, right? You went to sleep with your own thoughts making you slightly insecure.
You woke up the next morning dreading your English exam. You left the apartment without eating breakfast, leaving with your sister Maeve.
"You know what, you're so lucky you're in high school Y/n." Maeve sighed, getting onto the bus.
"College sounds so much more chill though Mae! So many more opportunities, so much more freedom, and you go to like forty parties a week." You said, sitting beside her.
"You really need to stop reading my college leaflets, you're only a sophomore" Maeve rolled her eyes.
"Whatever" you laughed lightly.
You got off the bus and ran up to one of your best friends, Peter Parker. You admired him a lot, you admired how smart he was. How mature he was. How pretty he was. You had a lot of feelings for Peter, your heart felt like it fluttered every time he said your name. You liked his eyes, his hair, his smile. He could never feel the same way though, right? He only liked you as a good friend, nothing more, and it destroyed you. It's just a little crush, though.
"You'll never guess what happened to me last night" you breathed out, finally catching up to him.
"Hey y/n" he smiled, "what happened last night?"
"I met the spiderman!! I think I'm in love with him Peter, he said my smile was beautiful and we took a picture together" you said, shoving your phone in his face.
"Oh, wow, no way" Peter said nervously, "I'm pretty sure he's like 30 and hella ugly, probably like blonde or something"
He couldn't help but feel slightly jealous, even though it was literally him that night.
"I don't care I'll love him for who he is" you smiled, "he used the word beautiful, and he walked me home! He's such a gentleman, Peter! I wanted to ask him like a billion questions. Oh and he has abs, I could see them through his suit"
A light blush spread across his face as he looked away, "we better get to class, don't want be late"
