Tom reached to the hotel bedside table.  He hadn't stopped thinking about Jasey since she wrote her number on his arm two days ago.  He didn't want to seem too desperate so he held off on calling her until just now.

The phone rang four times before Jasey's voice flowed through the phone:


"Jasey Jett's phone,"

"uh, Hey Jasey.  It's Tom from the library." Tom scratched the back of his neck nervously.

"Oi Tom! Hello, I was wondering if you were ever going to call.  I was beginning to think I gave my phone number to a random stranger that almost knocked me over for no reason."

"Yea, sorry about that. I was, uh, busy?"Jasey's laugh echoed through the phone, sending a smile straight to Tom's face. "So tell me about yourself,  Jasey."

Tom and Jasey stayed on the phone for what seemed like an eternity.  Tom loved talking to her.  Finally it was someone that seemed oblivious to the fact that he was soon to play the famous Spider-man.  Someone that doesn't treat him like a celebrity.  Someone that doesn't profess their love for him without even asking him how his day has been going.  It's a breath of fresh air for him.  The day he ran into Jasey he was being chased by fans, of course he didn't tell Jasey that.  He wanted to keep his fame from her until he felt the time was right.

He got to know more about her and her more about him.  Jasey was the first to hang up, she told him that she had an abundance of homework but by the end of the phone call they both felt like they've know one another for their whole lives.
