CHAPTER ZERO — blue caps fly




"Now I'd like to introduce, an extraordinary young woman. This years Valedictorian. Please welcome, Gwen Stacy!"

An ocean of applause had begun to ring out from the crowd. Gwen's smooth blonde hair flowing over the expanse of her shoulders as she waved at the crowd. Her walk both soft and sophisticated as it has always been.

"That's my girlfriend!" I grovely feminine voice wailed proudly from the crowd.

Mary-Jane Watson. Girlfriend of Gwen Stacy,
—four months and counting—and president of Midtown High's esteemed drama club.

MJ was something.

Nothing I wouldn't have expected from Gwen at first. But when you look past her house party stoner persona you begin to take notice to how smart and ambitious she can really be. They were quite the pair—and MJ always managed to put a smile on her face.

Speaking of girlfriends.

After year and some change of being with Peter his lateness has become a normal occurrence in our relationship. Although the absence could sometimes be a little irritating, he manages to make it up to me.

In more ways than one.

Two words. Birth. Control.

Love you Karen.

But this? This was not a good time. Unless he wholeheartedly believes he can beat Principal Wayne to the stand before his name is called.

"Good morning esteemed faculty, and families of my fellow graduates." Gwen began from the standing point of the podium, an unintentional cue for me to begin panicking. "It's an honor to be standing up here today."

"Come on." I hiss to myself as I peek over my shoulder for what felt like the hundredth time in the last fifteen minutes only to lock eyes with Jessica who only gave me a sympathetic shrug.

"I know we all think that we're immortal." Her speech continued on strongly without fail. "We're supposed to feel that way. We're graduating."

It was hard covering for Peter when he was gone this long. Especially with friends who have no idea that he's Spider-Man. Who assume he's some toxic deadbeat boyfriend who blows me off every chance he gets. But how could I be mad at them for that?

It makes me look stupid, and crazy. He made me look stupid, and crazy.

"Hello?"

"Hey." He greeted awkwardly as the speaker was engulfed in a strong breeze—most likely a product of him swinging his way to the venue.
