I woke up early, already nervous for the competition- but mostly because Peter still hadn't texted me back. Ten messages. No answer.
By the time I stepped out of the room, the worry in my chest had turned sharp. One glance into ned's mind told me everything.
He left. He freaking left and didn't tell me.
"He's being so unbelievably stupid" I muttered under my breath.
Ned looked at me for half a second before guiltily looking away. I didn't even bother saying anything else.
We made it to the competition, but my head wasn't in it. Every second that passed without hearing from Peter made my stomach twist tighter.
It all came down to the last question. Whoever answered it right, won.
As soon as the judge finished asking, the number flashed in my mind.
I glanced around. Everyone's faces flashed with worry. MJ gave me a look.
I hit the buzzer.
"Yes, Miss Bella?" the woman said
"Zero" I said
The judges smile brightened. "That is correct!" She said
The room exploded into cheers. Everyone was hugging me, jumping up and down, celebrating. But I couldn't make myself care. Not when Peter could be somewhere hurt.
Outside, as we started walking toward the Washington monument, I caught up to Ned. "Where is he?" I hissed under my breath
"I don't know! He said he'd be back." Ned said quickly. Then his phone rang.
"Peter?" He answered.
"Oh, Ned, you're alive!" Peters voice came through, panicked.
"Ned- Ned, where's the glowy thing? here is the glowy thing?" He asked quickly
"It's in my bag. Don't worry, it's safe" Ned said
"No, Ned- listen! No, no, Ned, the glowy thing is dangerous. Ned, listen to me!"
Before I could grab the phone, Ann reached over and took it.
"Peter? Is that you?" She asked, smiling.
"Oh- hey, Ann." Peter said, clearly trying to sound normal.
"Where are you? Are you okay?" She asked
"Please put Ned back on the phone." He begged, but before she could, we were being pushed toward security.
I exhaled shakily. At least he was alive. But something in my chest felt off- that quiet, electric feeling I always got right before something went wrong.
And then it happened.
The "glowy thing" started glowing for real- pulsing violently through Ned's bag before firing a laser up through the ceiling of the elevator.
