You stood outside the gates of your high-school, waiting for your best friend, Peter Parker, to arrive. He had been gone for a few days now, and you were starting to get worried. Spotting a familiar head of brown hair, you called out to it.
'Hey Peter!'
He grinned when he caught sight of you. 'Hey (Y/n).'
The two of you walked inside together just as the school bell rang.
You spun the combination to your locker. Peter's was right next to yours. It explained how the two of you had become such good friends.
'So, what did I miss?' Peter asked as you walked to your first class.
You thought for a while. 'Well, we've had a couple of tests...'
'Oh my god..' Peter went pale.
'Calm down, Pete. It's just a few tests. You can make up for it later. It doesn't even count for you grade average.'
He sighed in relief.
'Mrs Hudson graded our Algebra homework. Don't worry,' you added,' I turned yours in for you. Anyway you're not letting me get to the good part.'
'Alright,alright, tell me.' Peter said, exasperated.
'Spider-Man's disappeared!' You said in excitement.
'Oh. Did he?' Peter said indifferently.
'Yeah.' You said,annoyed. 'How could you be so blank?'
'I just..don't really care about that guy, you know?' Peter shrugged. 'He just seems so......fake.'
'I can't believe you. Spider-Man's a hero.'
You could've sworn Peter hid a smile.
'A hero, huh?'
'Yep.Anyway, Spider-Man disappeared a few days ago. Around the same time as you, actually.'
Peter cleared his throat nervously and buried his nose in his textbook.
'Peter....' You began.
'Y-yeah?'
'Where exactly did you go?'
The bell rang for next class.
'I'll tell you at lunch.' Peter said. He was out the door before you could say anything.
*****************
'Hey, Peter!' You called him over to your table. He sat down, and you noticed a slight bruise on his eye.
'Did Flash beat you up again?' You asked.
He immediately blushed.
'N-no. It was someone else.'
'Okay.'
Suddenly, you remembered.
'Weren't you gonna tell me where you went these past couple of days?'
He paled. 'Yeah.'
'Then begin. I'm listening.'
'Okay. But can you promise not to freak out?'
'Fine, I promise. But if you've been cross-dressing, I demand to see it.' You grinned.
'I've not been- just listen, okay?'
He took a deep breath.
'What if I told you I was Spider-man?'
You stared at him in shock.
'You're Spider-man?!'
He nodded, enjoying your shock.
He was surprised when you started laughing.
'You're-oh, god, that's rich.' You said, wiping tears away from your eyes.
'I'm not kidding! Look, I'll prove it.'
'Sure, Peter.' You crossed your arms.
He put his hand under the table, and made a weird gesture. A shock of web shot out from his wrist, covering the table leg with sticky webbing.
You turned pale.
'I told you.' He grinned.
'You're Spider-man.'
'Yes.'
I'm so so so sorry you guys I didn't update. But I had the flu and wasn't even able to sit up from bed until yesterday.
Anyway, I still have a few days off from school so I'll update sooner.
Tell me if I got anything wrong. I don't know much about American high-schools.
P.S. Does anyone get the reference?
