My Sweet Spider

The next day I woke up and decided to watch the news before school. I flipped through the channels, until I found one that caught my attention. A news channel talking about the mysterious "spider-girl". I decided to watch and see what they said, until my uncle walked in.

       "Bullshit." He spoke. "Its all bullshit. These superheroes. We would be better off without them."
I looked over at him as he grabbed a beer then changed the channel. As the hockey game he was watching began, I left to head to school.

        I got to school in no less than 15 minutes, meaning I had about 10 minutes to walk around before first period. I spotted Jughead and decided to go and talk to him.

       "Hey jug." Hows your morning been?"
     
       "Weird. People keep asking me about this whole spider-girl thing. I'm waiting for Betty so I can ask her about it.

      "Betty?"
 
       "My girlfriend." He spoke quickly. I don't know why, but I immediately pictured her as Winona Ryder in BeetleJuice.

        The bell rang so I headed to first period. Sewing. How intriguing.

        After school I was riding home on my bike when I heard police sirens near me. I parked my bike in the nearest alleyway and changed into my suit. I swung down the city to keep up with the police cars. There was a black jeep in front of the police cars which seemed to be some kind of escape car. I looked in and only saw two people in the car. I then swung around the lamppost to the left and crashed through the window.

      "Cozy car. Too bad you guys own it." I spoke before they noticed me

   The man in the passenger seat swung at me, but I grabbed his wrist and pulled him into the back where I webbed his arms together then his mouth. The man in the front pulled out a handgun and pulled the trigger. Immeditatley I shot a web which closed the barrel right as the bullet shot. I ripped the gun from his hand and hit him with it. I then jumped in the passenger seat where I threw him in the back and tied him up as well. I jumped into the drivers seat and slammed the brakes to stop the car immediately.

      Once I stopped the car, I took the two men and hung them upside down by there feet under a highway bridge. The police came and arrested the two, and tried to ask me a few questions. I left before they could, but could still hear cheering from some people watching in the streets. I swung to the alley my bike and backpack was in, and noticed someone standing there.

"Hello?" I said quietly.

"This belongs to you? Oh I'm so sorry i saw the bike and was about to take it to the police." Said a familiar voice

"I-its fine ma'am." I spoke quickly. "Wait. Aren't you the woman I met two nights ago?"

"You remembered..." I heard Cheryl speak softly

I already knew her, but it felt different talking to her in my suit. I felt more confident, so I tryed asking her a question.

"What is your name anyway?" I asked, pretending I didn't already know

"Cheryl. Cheryl Blossom."

"Your name is beautiful" I spoke back

"Thanks. I would say the same to you, but I don't know your name."

"Its better you don't. You probably wouldn't look at me the same..." I spoke before realizing what I said.

"Do I know you?"

Realizing what i'd done, I tied my bike to the building next to it then grabbed my backpack and swung off. And although I wasnt looking at her, I could feel her smiling at me, ever so slightly.

Sometime next week my uncle left to go to a friend's to play poker for the night, so I had the apartment to myself.

I had just got back from pursuing some thugs, so I was walking around with my suit on without my mask. I walked into my room to grab my headphones then walked out. My heart dropped when I saw Jughead standing in my doorway.
