I woke up at 5:00 am like I usually do, when I heard someone walk into my room. I jumped up and ran to the door, kicking their legs from under them and pinning them to the ground with my knee to their throat. Then I realized who it was.
I jumped up and grabbed her hand to help her up.
"Don't worry know one will hurt you here, but do it again and we might have a problem. Now get dressed the bus will be here soon."
"Bus?" I asked which was the first thing I had said since I got to this place.
"Oh look she can talk. The bus? For school?"
"Oh right." I said shortly still not knowing why I had to ride a bus instead of just walking.
I got dressed in a black t-shirt, black cargo pants and black boots and then I brushed my hair and put it in a ponytail like I usually do.
I was about to walk out of my room when I was a small bag on my dresser. I walked over to it and opened it up to see skin-colored powder, pink powder and other weird products in it.
Maybe it's a bomb kit? Why would I have a bomb kit in my room? I looked at the clock and it was 5:15 I walked into the kitchen and saw food I had never even seen before on a plate.
"Wow you're very fast at getting ready. No makeup today?" The lady said handing me a plate with food.
"Makeup?" I asked smelling the food she had given me.
"You know the stuff you put on your face to make yourself look prettier?"
I took a bite of the flat, sweet, soft bread-looking food.
"I don't care for stuff to make me look pretty. What is this flat bread?" I said pointing to it with my fork.
"A pancake."
"Pancake." I whispered. "It's delicious."
She smiled "after you eat, go outside and wait for the bus."
"But I need to wash my plate."
"Don't worry I'll get that." She said taking my plate from me and going to the sink to wash it.
I was stunned she would wash my plate for me? What kind of place is this!?
I jumped up and said goodbye as I walked outside and waited for a yellow bus. That's the color she said it was.
Finally it was here and I walked into it. I looked around to see everyone was staring at me.
The girls gave me dirty looks and the boys were smiling and I didn't know why.
I walked all the way to the back of the bus, the kids still staring at me as I sat down.
"Alright that's enough" I said as I crossed my arms and rolled my eyes.
They all turned around and continued to do what they were doing before. They have the attention span of a goldfish.
We kept making stops to pick up every kid in this area and it took forever.
I saw a kid trying to find a seat and then I realized it was Peter. He had light brown hair and chocolate brown eyes.
"Hey Penis Parker!" A boy said as he laughed.
Peter rolled his eyes and then looked straight at me because the only other seat on the bus was right next to me. He walked up to me and hesitantly sat down.
I needed to say something and be nice, but I was too scared. I've never been scared of someone so young and tiny before.
He just sat their looking at his books occasionally glancing at me.
"Yes?" I asked him.
"Oh uh nothing...are you-are you new?" He asked closing his books.
"Yeah. I'm (y/n)."
He smiled "Peter."
I nodded my head.
He scratched his neck "so uh do you like it here?"
"I haven't even gone to the school yet."
"Oh yeah...right." He said looking down
I sighed my mission was to befriend him so I guess I had to be nice. Without looking at him I started to talk.
"New York isn't all bad it's just different from where I used to live." I said tilting my head towards him as I crossed my arms
He lightened up "where did you used to live?"
"Uhhh...Maine." I said.
"Oh cool, don't worry it'll grow on you. Its actually an awesome place to live."
"So I've heard. How do you like it?"
"Like I said it's awesome especially since we have a web-slinging superhero unlike Maine." He said laughing.
"How do you know Maine doesn't have a superhero?"
"It was just a joke. They might have one."
"A joke?"
He looked at me funny "yeah?"
I just looked at him not knowing what a "joke" was.
"Oh you're serious..." he cleared his throat. "Well a joke is when you say something funny and people laugh."
"But I didn't laugh." I said
He laughed at me.
I just smiled with him "that was a joke?"
"No that was just funny."
"Oh."
This is too confusing
"Do they not have jokes in Maine?"
"Probably...oh that was a joke!"
He nudged me arm "now you got it!"
I just smiled at him. I already have him on my good side! This is easy.
"So uh Do you know who spider-man is?" I asked
"Um no. But he's pretty cool huh?"
"Uh yeah. Pretty cool."
Why didn't he tell me he was Spider-Man? All the other Superheroes identities are out in the open why can't he just tell me he's Spider-Man?
This is harder then I thought.
