Spiderboy

thirteen

I sighed, knowing he wouldn't let me leave, but trying anyway. As I thought, he stepped into my way and i backed away, regretting not accepting Peters offer of going with him.
"where do you think you're going?" he said and another man came around the corner. I panicked and my fist shot out, connecting with his nose and making him step back in surprise. He then frowned and beckoned the other man closer. I started to freak out, wanting to punch him again but I knew it would have just as little effect. But my stupid self tried anyway. I started pummeling his face, clawing and scratching, and trying to push past. I knew if I used magic I would be targeted more. The second man grabbed my wrist and my mind went into overdrive. His body flew back against the wall and I continued my attack on the first man. I heard a swoosh noise and he too was sent flying. I heard another person behind me, and spun around fists already flying and my heart beat loud in my ears but then he dodged them quickly and held up his hands. I sighed in relief as I saw Spiderman surrendering to me. I held my hand to my chest, trying to calm my racing heart, and closed my eyes.
Thank. God.
"are you okay miss?" his voice sounded low and muffled and I nodded, not opening my eyes.
"yeah. Yeah I'm fine." I whispered as my heart rate slowed and I calmed down.
I opened my eyes again and looked at the two men. They were both trapped against the wall with white webs, dazed yet still struggling. I looked back to Spiderman, for a second, before taking a deep breath and standing straighter.
"thank you." I said and he shrugged
"just your friendly neighborhood Spiderman." he said and I nodded again, turning to leave the alley, and went back to the subway station, continuing home again. Of course it wasn't even midday.

Thankfully, I had no troubles the rest if the way back home, I sat on the dirty train surrounded by people I didn't know, my knees knocking into the wall, and my eyes staring into space. The walk home from the subway station was short, as I was wrapped up in my own head, so it wasn't untill I had gotten through the front door that I let myself slide down the wall, and stick my face in my hands. There were no tears, but it was a shame that things with Flash turned out the way they did, but it was probably for the better that it ended. But with Peter, that was a different story. That wasn't exactly how I had planned our first kiss or in my mind, and it only lasted about two seconds, but I liked it. And everyone was there to witness it, Flash, Ned, Michelle,
Roxy- shit Roxy!
I pulled my phone out of my bag and checked to see, as I expected, my best friend had tried to reach me, and so did Peter.

I clicked on Peters name to call him back and held the phone to my ear as it rang.

"hey, hey Lexa hi" Peters voice said on the other line, panting and I looked over to my bed and got up, jumping onto it and tucking my legs beneath me.
"hi, um, are you running?" I asked him, pulling a fluffy black throw over my legs and relaxing back.
"Uh, yeah, yeah I'm fine though, so did you get home alright-hey watch it!-Sorry! Sorry, so Lexa, you're home alright?" he said, huffing and apparently running into someone, I laughed and put the phone on speakerphone, making the volume of his voice rise.
"yeah, i'm home now" I said and I heard a crash and cringed
"Peter are you okay?"
"yeah, no I'm fine. Okay I can talk now. So, are you okay?" he said and I closed my eyes.
"uh-huh. I got home just then, what about you?" I said and he nodded.
"yeah. I am."
There was a silence and I knew what was on his mind.
"Peter I'm sorry for kissing you I said, opening my eyes and looking up at the roof of my room.
