Life as Spiderwoman

New in New York

The next day I already had to go to school. It starts at 8:30 a.m. and it was already 8 !

And I had no clue how to get to school. Taxi? Takes too long. Car? We didn't have one in New York! Bike? Gave that one away. And as you can always count on Peter Parker...

*Knock knock* I opened. "Good morning Joi, I wondered.. how do you get to school?"

Joker! He probably knew exactly that I didn't know how to.

"Well, maybe I'll fly, or beam or something.", joked I.

He laughed. "I'll take my bike, you can take aunt may's, if you want to." Since there was no other way, I agreed, told my parents and went over to Peter's. May's bike already stood there. I had expected some old 'grandma' bike, but it was a pretty cool one. "My aunt's pretty sportive, you'll see.", explained Peter.

We drove to school and Peter brought me to the secretary. "You must be the new student, Joannie Leroy." "Yes, I am, Madam.", said I in the friendliest way possible.

Maybe a bit too friendly, Peter laughed at me."So you made friends with Peter Parker here? Fine, you both will have the same schedule, Peter will explain you everything. With his help you will have good marks, I promise.", winked the secretary.

As we were out I looked at Peter. "So you are some achiever round here?" "Just with my marks.", said he.

We had PE first and since I had no clothes or shoes for it, the teacher asked me to sit down and watch the others. He introduced me and the lesson began. I have to say, I wasn't used to that hard PE lessons. But Peter put up a very good fight and i recognized how strong he was, for the first time.

The rest of the day was okay: as we had lunch I got to know Harry and Mary Jane, Peter's best friends. They were both super, super friendly. MJ, as she introduced herself to me, said she was really happy to have another girl around and I laughed.We all immediately exchanged numbers.

"Hey Pete, have you already shown her the city a bit?", asked MJ as she stole a cracker from Harry's plate, I had to smile. "Hey!", yelled he and laughed.

"No, maybe today, if you want to?", asked Peter me. "Sure, I don't really know what to do today, yet." "True..", bantered Peter.

"If you haven't been to the city yet, you probably haven't seen one of our coolest superheroes, by now. I mean Spiderman. Or have you?", asked Harry.

"No I haven't, but I'd love to. He's amazing.", answered I.

Peter choked on something, but he got himself after a bit again.

At that moment Alissa texted me. *bing* 2. day @ school without u is so booring! just had some lasagna mhh, wbu?

I laughed so hard, that I had to show the others the message. "Who's that?", asked Harry with a grin. "My best friend Alissa", said I smiling.

"Let's send her a photo?", asked MJ.

I loved the idea. "Sure!"

Everyone came nearer and I took the photo. I texted: had the same, ahaha. this is Mary Jane (right), Harry (behind me) and Peter (left).

She answered pretty fast. *bing* that Harry boy is cute (don't tell him), the girl is so pretty, she seems to be nice, and your neighbour, the Parker boy is handsome, he seems to like you, doesn't he? ☺

"What did she write?", asked Harry like a little impatient child.

I looked at the photo more precisely. Alissa was right, Peter didn't look at the camera, but at me, and in such a cute way. But we only knew each other for a day or something...

"Joi? You here?", laughed MJ. "She said that MJ looks pretty and that I shouldn't tell Harry that she said he'd be cute and that Peter is a handsome guy."

And with that everyone was happy.
