I got to school late, as I thought, but decided not to bother going to homeroom. I went into the bathroom to check how damaged my clothes were, and I was pleasantly surprised to see that only my jacket was scuffed up badly, so I slipped if off and shoved it in my bag. Other than that, It didn't looked like I had been in a struggle, just like I had ran three miles to school on a very windy day. Great.
My phone was cracked but it worked fine when I called my best friend Roxy to tell her what happened
"he did WHAT!?" Roxy shrieked in my ear and i winced
"Roxy, you heard what I said the first time."
"but still, Spider-Man! Like, the literal Spider-Man. You are SOOO lucky!"
"okay fine, just come to the bathroom please my hair has decided to destroy itself."
I heard a chuckle then a click on my phone as Roxy hung up, appearing in the bathroom a few minutes later, while i had my fingers raking through the tangles in it.
"jeez did something die on top of your head?"
Roxy turned up to me and poked my wild hair.
I glared at her and she ignored, somehow taming my hair in half the time I could even hope it would take.
"thanks Rox" I sighed as the bell rang for class
We both groaned and headed out of the bathroom to first period.

I walked into Spanish class and sat in the back row. I did Spanish with Flash but it would be a while before he showed up. So I sat at the back of the class, shivering and staring out the window, recalling the experience from earlier on, and realising that without that Spider-Man, I could have been shot.
Or actually, without Spiderman, the robber wouldn't have caused such a scene anyway, he probably would have just got on the subway and left. But i was glad he did come. Despite the New York police thinking he was bad news, most of the citizens admired the web slinging hero, including me.

"Alexis, why didn't you bring a jumper? It's freezing today!" Flash sat down next to her and i sighed, wrapping my arms around myself tighter.
"really, I had no idea. Could I borrow yours?" i asked and looked over at my boyfriend, who rolled his eyes, smiling and pulled his football jersey out of his bag to give to her.
I smiled back and pulled it jersey over my head.
"hey what happened to your arm?" Flash said and grabbed my arm, pushing up the giant sleeve to reveal my grazed elbow and I flashed back again to earlier.

I winced as I felt blood trickle down my elbow and leg where i had landed on the floor,
and peeked around the corner to see how the masked hero was going.

I sucked in a breath through my teeth and pulled my arm out of Flash grip, facing forwards.

"I fell" i said, not completely lying. I had fallen, but only because someone ran into me.
"how did you fall?" Flash asked again and i turned to give him a look
"gravity."
Flash sighed and shook his head, letting me keep to myself.
Which I did, I didn't think my boyfriend would take well to me being held at gunpoint, shoved in front of a train and being pinned to the roof by another guy. Even if that guy was just saving me. Flash got jealous easily.
Alexis turned away from him and saw another boy a few seats away from the two of them, with brown hair and earphones in frowning at me in confusion. As soon as he caught me looking, his eyes widened and he faced the front. But I didn't look away from him just yet. I felt something in my chest, did I know him? But I looked away too, I didn't need Flash attacking some guy before class started.
my thoughts drifted away when class did start, and I was already wishing it would end. Speaking Spanish was too easy for me, I had been to Spain many times when I was younger, and I was fluent in the language anyway. I had considered dropping the class, but Flash didn't want me too, it was the only class we had together, because I was in advanced for everything else.
"Alexis, prestar atención" the teacher called and she looked up at the old man glaring at her from the board, trying to point out different verb uses.
"why? It's not like I'm learning anything here."
I said and dropped my head back into my arms again.
"excuse me young lady, are you asking for a detention?" the teacher threatened and Alexis groaned.
"si usted me dan una detención voy a gota esta clase y usted no tendrá cualquier persona que realmente sabe lo que está diciendo:"
I said and the teacher looked blank for a second before he translated what i told him and frowned.
"what did you say?" Flash said and I smiled angelically at him
"nothing! Don't worry about it"
I said as the teacher went back to his verbs, somewhat grumpier than before.
I just tried to block out what he was saying, waiting for the bell to ring so i could leave.

When the bell finally did ring, i was very ready to leave. The boy had continuously stared at me throughout class, making me feel flustered, which I was not used too. and Flash was complaining about it under his breath, making me get annoyed at him as well. He was way too overprotective sometimes.
As I left class she heard a commotion and then-
"cmon! Why were you looking at my girl!" Flashs loud voice interrupted my thoughts and I groaned again, turning around to try stop the fight that my boyfriend was bound to start.
"Flash, stop it! Let's go"
I called but he waved me off again. I went to grab his arm but before I could, he pulled his fist back and drove it into the boys face, hard.
