Spiderboy

The next day, I got the subway on time, without any trouble or masked heroes needing to save me. I got to school slightly early and went to my locker to wait for my friends. I put in my number combination and took out my books for that morning.

"what happened yesterday? I heard you left with school with Peter Parker!" I heard Roxy's voice and turned to face my black haired friend.
"yeah, so did Flash." I say and Roxy grinned
"oh, he would have been so mad. I wish I could have seen it! But did you leave with Peter Parker? " she says and I smiled
"Yup. He was so mad and we had a fight so I am not sure if I still have a boyfriend or not" I replied and Roxy raised her eyebrow.

"you didn't answer my question about Parker." she pointed out and I shrugged mischievously.
"oh my gosh, you are in trouble Alexis Carter!" Roxy whisper-yelled at her. I grinned and shut my locker door
"I know. But whatever. Oh, and I'm hanging out with Peter this afternoon, too. don't tell Flash."
"this is all gonna back fire on you, you know?" Roxy says and I nodded

"I know." I turned and shifted my books in my arms, ready to head to class. me and Roxy walked down the hall together, catching up on different things. Flash caught up with us before we got to home room, but I said nothing to him, continuing my conversation with Roxy.

"did you get my text?" he interrupted, standing between the two of us, making Roxy glare at him
"um, excuse me we were in the middle of something." Roxy said, crossing her arms and Flash rolled his eyes.

"I think I have the right to talk to my girlfriend." he replied and Roxy rolled her eyes too, sighing.
"but did you have to interrupt us? We were talking. and yes, I got your text." I said
"why didn't you reply?" he asked me, and Roxy sighed again.

"had better things to do." I shrugged.
"like cheating on me with Parker." flag muttered under his breath, but I heard him and glared

"for the last time Flash, I wasn't cheating on you."
"oh, really? You were just, 'hanging out with another guy.' sure you were Alexis. I'm not stupid!" he said loudly, and Alexis rolled her eyes again. Why was every conversation she had with Flash turning into a fight?

"Flash, fine, i'm sorry. But stop yelling, okay?" I lowered my voice, in hopes of dropping the argument, and it seemed to work. Flash crossed his arms and turned the other way. Me and Roxy tried to continue our former conversation, but with Flashes muttered remarks and glares, it was distracting. Roxy and I were both glad when the bell rung, saving us from more of his bitter comments.

I saw Peter in home room, and gave him a quick smile, which he returned, before seeing my boyfriend glare at him, making him turn quickly back to Ned, his best friend. Roxy sat next to me, and Flash sat on the other side, ignoring the two of us and staring only at Peter.

Peter P: Flash is staring at me
Alexis: don't worry about it
Peter P: but why's he looking?
Alexis: he thinks I cheated on him with you.
Peter almost choked on the water he was drinking, sputtering, and Ned hit his back, making me smile, looking at the two of them and laugh.

"settle down please, class!" their teacher walked in and giving a pointed look to Peter. Peter sat up straight and put down his phone, and the teacher nodded at him.
"and Mr Thompson, please look away from Mr Parker, he may be interesting but I am trying to mark attendance." Flash immediately looked away and the class laughed.

"sorry sir" Flash muttered and looked back to his desk, ignoring his classmates, but looked back to Peter soon after.

"Flash, look away. Nothing to see." I whispered, looking over at him, and he looked down again.

"yeah, just checking." he said quietly, looking over to he and I raised my eyebrow.

"checking what?" I asked, looking over to Peter myself. Nothing seemed out of the ordinary. If anything he was avoiding my gaze, making me frown and look back at Flash.

"I was checking to see if he was looking." Flash replied and I glared at him
"well, no. He probably thought he would get beaten up again if he did." I said and Flash grinned smugly.
"good." he said, looking proud of himself until he caught sight of my glare

"no, not good! Stop bullying people Flash." I whispered and he shrugged.
"fine, fine." he muttered and I sighed, hoping he would stay true to his word. I turned around to see that Peter was actually looking at me, but he turned his head quickly when I looked. I smirked and turned back to the front. The teacher called each of our names, and we watched the school announcers speak about different activities in a bored voice.

The bell rang and we all filed out of the classroom, most people left for their lockers, or to clump into groups in the hallways to catch up on Gossip they had found out. I headed to my first period, not wanting to be late. Geography next.

"hey, Alexis, wait up!" a voice called behind me and I turned to see Peter Parker, rushing to catch up with me.

"hi Peter. I was just heading to class." I said to him, returning to my former pace once he caught up with me

"me too. So I was thinking we could go to the library, to study? Because theres the biology report we could do?" he said, shifting his book bag on his shoulder and I nodded.
"okay. Meet outside school, we can walk there." I said and he nodded. I sped up to go to class, and was surprised when he followed me
"um, Peter?"
"I'm in your class Alexis."
"right." I chuckled, wondering how I hadn't noticed before.
"sorry, you were just pretty invisible."
"yeah, I know." he held open the door for me and we went to our seats, waiting for class to start.
