of course her sister had to be standing right there when he swung away.

"um yes?" she said while crawling through her window

"YOU TALKED TO THE SPIDER-MAN" her sister jumped up a little bit, her face lit up.

"abby i need to do my homework."

"BUT YOU TALKED TO THE SPIDER-MAN"

"there are no buts about it i need to do my homework"

"I WAMT TO KNOW ALL ANOUT IT TOMORROW THAN"

aliza didn't want him to leave, she wanted all her worries to drift away like they did when they were talking. his voice sounded ever so familiar. after this and the sandwhich shop her thoughts once again became clouded

finally finishing her editing and loving what she made. she climbed into bed, wondering who he was. who the hero was inside and out, not his identity but who he really is.

once dusk hit she climbed out onto the fire escape once more after the long day at school and no site of peter on the subway she just wanted someone to talk to. sitting there eagerly she thought about what topics they would talk about tonight. soon enough there came him swinging. her stomach knotted a bit as he came more into view.

"hello love" his smoothing voice let out while sitting next to her.

"hi" she let out in a breath. nervous to be around him

soon enough they were talking again and sitting pretty close together, his hand brushed hers when she was telling him all about the way she was, her emotions all coming out as she sat in a ball next to the boy.

"enough about my problems. who are you?" she asked the loaded question while rubbing her eyes, whether or not he would tell her she was curious.

"maybe i'll tell you later..." he got quiet after the question.

he looked down at his hands, now fiddling with them. aliza got the confidence and made him look up at her. she lifted the mask up to his nose.

"w-hat are you doing?" he asked confused but she acted like it never happened, mask still up they continued to talk.

it was getting late and aliza needed to do homework and she knew it wouldn't happen if she didn't do it now. she looked up and down and his lips before she leaned in, a passionate kiss was placed on his lips. he kissed back only for her to pull away effortlessly.

"goodnight spider-man" and crawl back into her window, closing it and letting out a big breathe, a weight lifted her shoulders as she climbed into bed.
