The first day of school is finally over. I walk out of the school and I realise how much I really don't want to be in there a minute longer. I put down my skate board. Just as I am about to leave I hear someone call my name.
"Beatrice!" I hear someone say and I turn around. It's Liz.
"Hey." I say trying to find some confidence within me to sound at least a little cool.
"So, I know you are new to the school and all." She says with a smile and I nod. "I thought of the perfect way to make you feel welcome. I am having a party tomorrow and I was wondering if you wanted to come?"
"You're having a party on a Tuesday?" I ask, and I realise that I sound so stupid.
"It's not a big party or anything. Just a few close friends." She says and shifts her weight to her right leg. "So, are you coming?"
"I'll think about it." I say and start to skate board away not even saying goodbye.
I think back of the conversation I just had with Liz and I realise how rude and closed I was. I decide I can't take the city sound much longer, so I try to calculate the fastest route home and by fastest route I mean short cuts which in New York is going through alleys. I know this wasn't safe or at least mum had said that I should not go through the alleys, but I mean who cares?
I turn down one of the alleys and try to avoid the trash bins. Once I am about to reach the end of the alley a man in dark blue cap and baggy clothes covers the exit. I step off my skate board and turn around and skate board back to the street I came from but as I reach the end of the alley another man with black hat and baggy clothes covers it. Great? I think to myself.
As the men come closer to me, my breathe starts to tremble. This is exactly what my mum was trying to protect me from but once again I decide to define her rules and live my life in the dangerous lane, literally.
"Hey sweet heart. Do you think you have some cash to give us?" The man in the cap says.
"No, I have to get home sorry." I say and try to pass the man in the hat.
"Yo yo yo. Why you in a hurry gurl?" He says.
"I just need to get home." I say and turn around.
When I turn around I see that the man in the cap has come right in front of me. I take a deep breath and inside I give a small scream. He grabs the golden heart necklace around my neck that my father gave me just before he left me and my mother.
"This should be good enough." He says, and I slap his hand away.
"Leave me alone!" I shout.
"Give us the damn necklace." The man in the hat shouts.
"No!" I scream and try to pass the man in the cap, but he grabs my arms. "Let go of me!"
He tries to grab my necklace again and I push him. He punches me in the face and I fall backwards onto the ground. The man in the hat grabs my bag but I manage to grab it and pull it towards me.
"Get away from me!" I shout.
The man in the cap gives me another punch in the face and I get smashed into wall. My head starts to spin, and I am not able to focus on anything. The man in the hat tries to grab my bag again but I continue to keep it close to me with all my might.
Just as the man in the cap is going to give me other punch his hand gets webbed to the wall and he flies backwards. The man in the hat kicks me in the stomach and I let go of my bag. I fall to the ground, but I am able to keep my eyes open although my sight is all fuzzy. The man in the hat tries to run away but is also webbed to the wall. As I look up to the sky I see that Spiderman is coming down the walls. But why would he be saving me? He webs the two men more so that they look like they are a caterpillar in a cocoon and runs over to me.
Once Spiderman is right in front of me I give out a small scream. I'm not unthankful for him saving me but how would you feel if a man that came down from a wall like spider saved you. He tries to calm me down, but I can't hear him speak. I feel like the world is taking one last spin, but I hear something he says.
"Wait, is it the mask?" He says.
He takes off his mask and it is no one other than Peter Parker. I try to act surprised, but I can't put that much effort into my body. I give him one last stare and my world starts to emerge into darkness.
