"What makes you so special if you know Spider-Man?"
Midtown High School, October 2016-
Alison's mind was still buzzing from the night before. Her thoughts were up in the clouds, still thinking about what she had done.
"Put on your safety googles," Her chemistry teacher instructed, turning back to the board. "The chemicals we're using today are dangerous."
"Yeah," Tara peeked over at Alison. "Dangerous enough to bore you into not paying attention, huh Alison?" She waved her hand in front of Alison. "Hello?"
Ali looked up with a start, turning over to see Tara. "Uh yeah." She pulled the goggles over her eyes. "Sorry about that. Let's get to work." Alison nodded briskly.
The two girls began mixing together the substances. In front of them were two boys clustered together.
"Can you spit venom?" One of them asked. Ali recognized the voice as Ned.
"No Ned, no." Alison could hear someone, presumably Peter, mutter back to Ned.
"Spit venom?" Ali asked herself, curious. Who the hell could spit venom? She shook off the thought as mishearing it, and went back to measuring out the mixture she was creating, the comment still bugging her.
Not a few minutes later, Alison saw Ned turn his head back at Peter. "Can you summon an army of spiders?" He asked wistfully.
There it was again! Mentioning spiders and stuff. Were the two scheming to try and find out who Spider-Man was or something? Was one of them Spider-Man?
"Alison," Tara yelled sharply. "Are you still here? You keep zoning out." She turned up the Bunsen burner's flame.
"Yeah, yeah," Alison brushed off the comment yet again. "I'm totally fine. I'm just distracted today." She stirred the boiling blue chemical concoction.
Ali wasn't sure of what was going on, but she sure didn't like it. Something was up with those two dorks, and it wasn't right.
As the bell to the next class rang, the labs still not fully cleaned up, Alison grabbed her books and rushed up to meet Jess, who was leaving another science class.
"Hey-" she tapped Jess on the shoulder. "So I just heard Leeds ask Parker if he spits venom? And then he asked if he could summon spiders? Am I getting that sickness you got last week and I'm hallucinating?"
