The amazing spiderman

Chapter 5

When I got to the institute I showed my song to my mentor first and I thought about showing him my spiderman theme. I thought I better not, I'll just show Spiderman and thats it.

"Liana it sounds wonderful, splendid. Its seems a bit sad, no?" He has an Italian accent.

"It's just really meaningful to me." I said.

And it was. It was about promises and memories. You can break promises, but memories break you. It also was about my friendship with Gwen and Peter.

I like Spiderman.
I like Peter.
I like Gwen.
And I love my family. That's all I need.

"Have you showed Mr Slavatski?" My mentor asked.

"Not yet, I'm going to." I said.

"We'll run along Liana. Remember your tempo." he said.

Every time I play especially when I'm really nervous I play faster than what it's supposed to be. (tempo is the speed of something.) I always try to calm myself by breathing in and out. Sometimes when I play I forget to breathe.

I know it's funny right.

HOLY UNICORNS. I promised Spiderman I would play his theme. What If I make a mistake? Or I can't play? Or I break my fingers on the way home? Or I lose my memory? Or.......

I seriously need to stop asking myself rhetorical questions.

I played my song for Mr Slavatski. He was very impressed. I'm not going to bore you with the details.

I went to my class with my other students.

I had my talented music friends here.

Eliya is a red head. Nice, Calm and plays the piano and sings.

Yisabel- pronounced Isabel. She sings like an angel, and she's Phillipino. (I always spell that wrong.)

Michaela is an Aussie. She plays piano, Ukulele, Guitar and she swears a bit. Ok maybe a lot but who cares. She is an awesome person, she draws really good too. I think she is a very artistic person.

I sat next to them in class.

We started doing Rhythmic dictation. I hate this.

What happens is that sir claps and we must put it on to paper using notes. Like crotchets, minims, quavers etc.

Eliya and Michaela got it perfect while Yisabel and I had 1 mistake.

We were about to start something new when I got a text message making a loud beep.

It said

"Ok honey I got your message, love you heaps.

Mum"

Well I thought she would do that.

At the end of the day my friends asked me if I wanted to hang out, get pizza.

"I can't, mum needs help with dinner. Maybe another day?" I asked hopefully.

"Yeah sure."

I then left and started walking home.

I ran.... the safe way, not through the alleyway. I learnt my lesson.

I was walking up the stairs to my house when I tripped.

Typical.

I walked inside my house and helped mum.

After dinner I went to my room.

I checked the clock.

8:00pm

I still had 1/2 an hour. I did some school work. I checked the clock again.

8:15pm

Just 15 more minutes.

I made sure my hair was ok, I looked fine. I didn't smell. My room was clean, books in place, bed made.

I checked the time again.

8:29pm

1 minute left.

As soon as my clock changed to 8:30pm Spiderman walked through my window.

I smiled.

"Hey Lee. How's it going?" He asked

"Good. You?"

"Ah, fighting bad guys sometimes hurts. Some are easy and some are hard. But life moves forward doesn't it?" He said.

"Yeah...."

"Hey, play me your song." He asked.

"Ok."

I went over to my piano. I stretched my slim fingers and was preparing my fingers when I noticed how shaky they were.

Spiderman made me nervous.

WTHELL!!!!

A guy, in Blue spandex makes me nervous.

Oh Dear Lord.

I breathed in and out. My fingers weren't calming themselves.

Spiderman must have noticed because he went over to where I was sitting at the piano and put his left arm around me. He squeezed my arm to comfort me.

"Hey, it's alright. If you can't play, maybe another time. Peter told me you play brilliantly." he Said.

And just like that, knowing Peter thinks I'm brilliant, I played Spider-Man's Theme.

La da da, la da da. And so on.

When I finished I looked at Spiderman. I couldn't see his face reaction, so I asked.

"What do you think?" I said

"It's amazing! Absolutely brilliant, spectacular.Why are you naming it after me?" He asked.

"You deserve it, your own song. You save so many lives and give hope to others. Your not just Spiderman, your The Amazing Spiderman. So thank you." I said.

I stood up putting my papers away. I walked over to my bookshelf to put some books away when in the process I nearly tripped but Spiderman caught me.

"Wow, careful there." he said.

I stood up properly and put the book away before turning to spiderman.

I walked up to spiderman and hugged him. I just stayed like that.

My arms around his neck with my head on his shoulders. His arms were wrapped around my waste holding me.

He smelt like Cinnamon, books and something else. His smell reminded me of Peter.

"Spiderman?" I said

"Yes."he replied still holding me.

"I have the feeling something is going to happen. Something big, and it's not going to effect just me, you and pretty much everybody. Something bad is going to happen. I have been having this feeling for ages and Oscorp, Norman Osborne just died? I just have the feeling. Please, whatever happens don't leave yourself being Spiderman. I'm not going to ask you to promise because people break promises but I want you to Remember what you do for people." I said as I pulled away sitting on my bed.

"I'm not going anywhere. But I---" he was cut off by me.

"Don't make promises you can't keep." I said.

"It's not a promise, its a fact." he said.

I smiled.

He sat next to me on my bed.

"I'm not leaving you or anyone." he said.

And with that he jumped out my window and went to God knows where.

I checked the time.

11:30pm

That's 3 hrs. It felt like 2 minutes.
