1. A Girl, Her Best Friend, and a Superhero (Peter Parker)

Chapter 20

I run over to Ned's table, slowly crawling along the ground so my movement wasn't noticed.

"Where did Peter go?" I looked around, trying to figure out where the gunshot had come from.

"He went to suit up." Peter must have told Ned that I knew, otherwise he wouldn't have said anything to me.

"We have to find him." I started crawling away before I felt Ned pulling me back.

"Are you crazy? That guy has a gun!"

"Exactly! I'm not leaving Peter to fight him alone!"

"What are you going to do? You don't have superpowers! You're just going to make Peter worried about protecting you."

"I have to do something! I can't just let him get himself killed!" I break free of Ned's grasp and crawl out of the cafeteria. I run through the halls, listening to see if I can hear the sound of any voices.

"Sam? What the hell are you doing! You're supposed to be with Ned away from the danger." Peter comes around the corner in his suit.

"When you're out here all alone? No way!" I couldn't see his face, but I could still sense how scared he was.

"Too bad, I'm not letting anything happen to you." Before I could say anything Peter grabbed me and opened the nearest classroom door. He placed me inside and locked the door behind him.

"What the heck! Let me out!" I pounded on the door but it was no use; Peter was already gone.

I looked around and saw that I was in the French room. Thankfully, the French teacher wasn't in the room so I didn't have to explain to her why Spider-Man had just decided to lock me in her room.

"I'm going to kill him when I get out of here." I started pacing back and forth trying to figure out how to get out. The doors were locked from the outside so there was no picking the lock. I got a text from Sarah as I was thinking about what to do.

Where the hell did you go?

Um, doesn't matter, but could you by any chance come to the French room?

Are you crazy! A gunshot just went off in our school and you decided it was a good time to learn some French?

Just could you please come get me?

Fine, but if I die I'm going to haunt you for the rest of your life.

I sighed in relief and sat down at a desk and waited for Sarah. After a few minutes, she showed up.

"I'm here to rescue you!" Sarah swung open the door and jumped into the room, placing her hands on her hips.

"Thank god! You're a lifesaver, maybe literally." I run right past her out the door to go find Peter.

"Hey, where are you going?" She grabs my arm, pulling me back.

"Uh, nowhere. Why don't you go find Mitch."

"Sam, what the hell is going on? Why are you trying to run away when there was a gunshot a few minutes ago? The gunman could still be here!"

"Correction, he is still here." An unfamiliar voice says. I turn around to see who it was but something hit me hard in the head, knocking me out.

~~~

"Oh god." I reach my hand up to my throbbing head. I pulled my hand away and saw blood on my fingers.

"What happened?" Sarah said, making me look up. She was sitting not too far away from me leaning against a wall. Suddenly I felt the room we were in shake, making me realize we weren't in a room, we were in a truck.

"Well, I think we got knocked out and brought to this truck," I stated matter-of-factly.

"Thanks, Captain Obvious. Oh look, we barely have to change your nickname." Sarah was not the least bit amused.

I rolled my eyes at her.

"Don't roll your eyes at me! If it wasn't for you we wouldn't be in this mess! What the hell were you even doing? What crazy person goes out into the open while a gunman is roaming the school?"

I didn't say anything, I just leaned my head against the wall and looked up at the ceiling.

"I'm serious Samantha, what's going on?" She had an angry tone in her voice, but the look in her eyes was concern. Before I could say anything the truck came to a stop.

"We stopped."

"I would totally say 'Thanks, Captain' but it's so overplayed now that it's not even funny."

I glared at her but before I could say anything the door swung open. The light coming through blinded me, but after my eyes finally adjusted I saw two men standing at the door.
