Cafeteria
11:30 am.
After you get through all your classes you finally head to lunch and Nadia waves you over with a concerned look on her face. You see other girls looking at you strangely and you hear "Miles" a couple times. You scoff and speed walk over to Nadia.
"Y/n! Did you get in trouble?!"
"Nadia! Hey no- I.. didn't. Miles actually helped me out."
Her jaw drops as she stares back at you.
"He did?! I knew he did!"
"What do you mean 'knew'" you ask her and set your bag down.
" I mean, right after you left. He was all..." she mocks him and his deep voice.
'I can't be bothered to sit here' and he went right after you when he could've literally went anywhere else!" She looks at you with an eager look again. He was.. never sent to the principals office.
Her words register but you look up at the cafeteria tv and see breaking news about.. The Prowler. Nadia follows your eyes and turns around to look at the flat screen. The volume was too low for you to understand anything. But you did hear one thing.
Casualties.
He actually took lives.
You were wrong about him.
He was now declared a vigilante that kills.
"Shit. Nadia. He didn't kill me but he could've..."
"Yeah.." she looks at you, biting her lip and she doesn't know what to say.
"I- I wasn't there to stop it." You feel an overwhelming sense of guilt and you frown and close your eyes. You feel Nadia looking at you with sympathy and she lowers her voice.
"It's not your fault. There's too much crime for you to stop in one night. But now you know right?"
"Yeah.. yeah." You cover your face with your hands.
"And you're going to take him down. Not the cops. You."
You look at her, determined and you nod.
"Yeah. First off I need that flash drive and we can check it out when we get home."
"Sounds good! I'm excited!!"
"Me too." You smile at her, happy with having someone to support you and trust. More importantly.
You look over and see Miles again.. he's looking at the tv as well. And he catches you looking once again. As if watching for your reaction.
And you wonder what his thoughts are on the Prowler.
To your surprise, a couple of girls sit next to him...?
What the. Fuck.
He gives them little to no attention as they continue pestering him about his hair. But... you're even more surprised when you realize you can hear their entire conversation.
Right.. spidey... hearing?
~
"Miles! Are you okay? I'm surprised y/n cut your hair off!"
"I'm aight. It was only three inches."
"I thought you had a thing for Gwen! Right?"
The other girl nods to her and looks at him for a response.
"Nah."
Damn he's dry.
"Didn't you talk to my friend? Maria?"
"I don't know any "Maria." He scoffs as he gets a little more impatient. As much of an asshole he was, he was still pretty hot. I don't blame those girls but jeez could never be me..💀
(A/N> let's be real if Miles was real he'd PULL.)
"But you talked to her for a couple weeks-"
"If I don't remember it never happened. Now can you get outta my face?"
The girls walk away with dejected looks, clearly embarrassed as they sit back to their booth. While, Miles.. blinks and makes eye contact with you again. He tilts his head a little and raises an eyebrow.
He knew you were watching him the entire time.
~
You give him an indifferent look and keep a neutral face and you turn your attention back to Nadia.
"Ready to get that drive?"
"Yep.. let me guess you heard the entire conversation with Miles and those girls?"
"Yea... how did you-"
"Mhm. That's why I didn't interrupt." She shakes her head and stands.
