~Peter's POV~

I swing back into my window around 3:30am after a calm night. There were only minor crimes, you know the usual like bike theft and purses getting snatched. Nothing out of the ordinary. I glance over at my bed , barely being able to resist it's comfort. After peeling the suit off and tossing on a shirt I crawl into bed.

My body is engulfed in its warmth as I start to relax. I can't fall asleep though, I have to finish my physics paper. When I moved out I promised Aunt May that I would keep good grades and she would pay for my apartment. No matter how heavy my eyes are I refuse to let them close, so I pull my laptop onto my lap and get to work.

~Next Morning~

My eyes fly open to the sound of my alarm. God no matter how badly I want to stay in bed I can't. I start stretching when this rancid smell fills my nostrils. I really should shower.

I turn the water on letting it warm up as I strip of my gross clothes. The hot water washes over my sore muscles soothing them as it washed the dirt and sweat out of my hair.

There is a sudden knock on my door just as I step out of the nice shower. Quickly I wrap a towel around my waist and walk to the door already knowing who it is. "Dude you need to hurry up, we are gonna be late" says Ned. "I still have 15 minutes Ned calm down." He just gives a eye roll and walks in.

"So how was fighting crime last night" he ask. "Nothing special" I say as I change in my room. He lets out a sigh, "You have been so boring since you defeated Vulture." I chuckle a little as I grab my back pack and an apple. "Come on, lets go to class."

The whole way there he talked about how boring Spider-man had become. It's not my fault I have nothing big to fight against. I just tune him out that is until I run into something, more like someone. Her books and things scatter everywhere as she falls to the floor.

"Oh I'm sorry, I wasn't paying attention" I say as I kneel down helping her pick up her things. "It's okay, accidents happen" she says.

Her voice is very smooth and soothing when I hear it. I go to grab her phone when I feel the softness of her skin beneath mine. My cheeks feel warm as I start to blush and look at her. She has two beautiful bright blue eyes and long brown hair. Her smile is bright white while her lips are the perfect shade of pink. Suddenly she pulls her hand away and the loss of contact tugs at something inside me.

We both stand and look at each other. "I umm believe this is yours" I say handing her the phone. "Thanks and thanks for helping me. Not many people would actually stop and do that anymore" she says. Then she checks the time on her phone and her smile fades.

"I umm need to go to class um thanks again." I smile but with that she is gone. I watched her walk away until I feel Ned grab my shoulder. "Peter you're 21 and you still are afraid to talk to girls" he laughs. "Shut up" I say with a slight smile.
