Spider-Man END

Chapter 1: The Beginning...

March 14th, 2024 - MONDAY   Location: Orlando FLORIDA

Have you ever felt like you've been drowning? , deep into this dark abyss full of nothing just sinking and sinking, your body feeling lifeless as you go deeper and deeper imagine yourself submerged in a deep dark ocean or lake or whatever your mind makes you think. You struggle to breathe, shout, scream you want to move but your body gets heavier and heavier...but just when you think you're going to drown to death you wake up sweating. Your hands start to shake rapidly and your palms feel sweaty, well that's what I just went through a very terrifying dream.

You see I had this dream numerous times and still don't understand why. I got out of bed and started to head towards the bathroom and started to splash a bit of water in my face, for starters I guess I forgot to introduce myself well hey there my name is Zack Riley. I'm pretty an average freshman in High School, I looked into the mirror still feeling a bit shaky but tried to stay focused on today. Yeah...today is the first day of school for me I'm a 15-year-old African American kid with black curly hair and light brown eye my parents well I never met them, my grandma and grandpa are the ones who took me in the right around my 5th birthday I didn't know what happened to my parents and I doubt I ever will.

I closed my eyes trying so hard to forget the dream that I had but it just kept coming back I slowly started to take some deep breaths then suddenly heard a knock on my door. "Hey, Zack you ready for the first day?" I smiled a bit "yes grandpa sorry for keeping you waiting" the young old man standing in front of me was my grandpa, Benjamin, he always made me feel safe at home and comfortable but also believed in me for wanting to be an archaeologist. You see my dream is to travel the entire world searching for mysteries like I don't know long lost treasure like the game I play the...uh whatever you call it um...Un..chart whatever.

And Grandpa knows that which is why he always buys me a bunch of history books you know some books about Greece, Rome, Egypt, China, and many many others but for now, I better get my head on straight for school today's the first day and I have a feeling it's gonna be great. Well, at least I hope it will be great.

I started to bolt downstairs into the kitchen and man oh man the smell of buttermilk pancakes made the whole room smell so amazing you have no idea how hungry I am right now and I don't even care if I'm late on my first day. "Well well well look who's up out of bed" a tall young elderly woman came from around the kitchen counter and then kissed my cheek "Morning Grandma," I said smiling while eating some fresh pancakes. She looked down at me and smiled at this lady right here every one is my grandmother Anna now don't be fooled but my grandparents look they are both very young middle-aged people who can still move around and do much more like they are in their 20s.

But most importantly there's one more person I guess I forgot to introduce you guy's to and that would be...all of a sudden loud boom came from upstairs we all started to look up wondering what could that noise be. "Um, Zack could you please check what that noise was I'm sure it could be you know who again probably trying to get dressed right now" I sighed then started to march my butt on upstairs, you see the guy's I never did get around to telling you but I wasn't the only child who lives here there's another person here and well. as I kept walking down the hallway to open the room door where I heard the noise coming from. The door suddenly flew open and out came a girl who crashed right into me and took us both down on the ground "ow..." I said trying to wrap my head around what in the world just happened.

"oh man we're so late ughh knew I should've set my alarm clock for four in the morning!" as I looked up at the girl who's Red sandy hair was now a mess and her shirt a little hung down to the point where I saw her shoulder's. Her skin was a bit pale from freaking out so much and her eyes were as light brown as mine, she started to brush herself then got off of me "sorry about that Zachery didn't mean to bump into you like that" she helped me off of the ground then started to fix her clothes her shirt was pitch black with an I love anime weebs written on it, and her pants well their ripped grey skinny jeans so you can tell what type of style she likes to wear.

As for me, I wore a blue sweat jacket and black skinny jeans so yeah haha but back to what the heck was going on so sorry for that late introduction you guys. Meet my sister Remy, she started smiling at me then started brushing me off trying to make me look a lot nicer but I brushed her hand away "ok ok you can stop that now you know I'm not a kid anymore" I frowned a bit at her she simply just laughed "yeah sorry I forgot your a "Freshmen" Now haha". She continued to brush the dust off my hair even after I push he hand away "you kids ready to go!?" grandpa yelled out from downstairs.

Both of us looked over and yelled at the same time "YES WE'RE COMING!!" we quickly grabbed our bookbags hugged grandma and rushed out the door to the car you see Remy is two years older than me so today's her first day as a junior and she's one smart person an A, B student. For me I'm the same way but...I sort of slack off now and then. But today's a fresh start to my dream goal and nothing can ruin that everything is gonna be so Amazing.

Or so I thought...my life this story. that I'm gonna tell you..it may be happy now but this life of mine was changed forever...and everything I'm gonna tell you it's not just some fairytale no...It's natural..and I wish I can go back and fix it all. but I can't This is the beginning...of how it all started...
