Miles' POV
Foam party
Friday 3:30 pm

"Caramel or chocolate?"
"Chocolate please". I say with a small smile.
"Hey Ganke, ask Judge, if he wants Caramel?"
"Alright." Said my friend, talking into his cellphone.
Surprisingly I was feeling better for the first time this week. Everything had seemed to be wrong. The whole Spider-Man thing has been,alot harder on me that I thought. Waking up at 8am for class,and staying up till 3am was not good for my mood , or grades. So to no surprise I flanked my math test this week...again. This week was just hell. Is this thanks I get for saving millions of people everyday?
"Okay here ya go. Two caramel and chocolate cappuccinos. Have a nice day, and thank you for choosing foam party." The female employee groaned out.
"Thanks you too". I say giving a small smile. I grab two coffees ,and gesture to Ganke to grab his own.
We both started walking towards a Window seat, close to the door.
"I guess everyone is having a bad week hm?" Ganke chuckles.
Dad was right. Inside of the coffee shop played disco like dance music,giving the atmosphere a hipster vibe. Glow in the dark stars stuck to the sides of the pastel coloured walls, making me think it was designed by a ten year old. Was this a disco or a coffee shop? Ganke took a sip of his coffee before speaking.
"So how  are things with you, and that Gwanda girl?"
Damn it! Why did he have to go there? For once Gwen was the last thing on my mind.
"Um we're good I guess...why?"
"Aren't you like totally in love with her, or something? I thought you said you were gonna fainally ask her out this time."
I felt my face grew warmer by the second.  I lean back in my chair, crossing my arms. I looked out the window in embarrassment.
"I am not in love with her!" I chimed in defensively.
"I just care about her alot. Plus she's my best friend so -" I was interrupted by the fakest cough I ever heard.
Ganke looked up at me, brows rised in surprise. His faced practically said the words.
" Don't you dare say what I think your gonna say!"
"Next to you ofcourse. " Grabbing my coffee I drank loudly, sipping awkwardly . After awhile he giggled at my weirdness.
"Whatever, lover boy, So did you ask her out, or what?"
"Yeah."
"And what did she say?"
I cringed, remembering the conversation.
"She told me, that she rather just stay friends, with me, and that I was like a little brother to her". I said less than enthusiastically.
"Little brother? Damn man thats got to hurt, but hey look on the bright side." He stopped for a minute.
"Doesn't that Barbara girl still talk to you? You could totally get with her?" Ganke stated.
"No, she's dating kimberson from literature ". I say holding my face in one hand, and my room temperature coffee in the next.  He seems to leech on to my energy of meloncoly.
"What's taking Judge so long?" I  say shifting the energy a bit.
"He's on his way, He says he's stuck in traffic. "
I take another sip of my drink, looking at my phone. Nothing's on it. Just a habit I have in public.
"Well it doesn't matter anyway. It's not like you would have time to have a girlfriend anyway, with you being Spider-Man, and al -" Ganke was interupted by my hand coming  into contact with his month.
"Will you keep your voice down? I said even louder than him. We stared at eachother, before I felt something soft and wet spread  across the palm of my hand.
"Ew! Ganke what the hell man?!" Laughter filled the corner me, and him where sitting by. Local customers looked at us in confusion. I rolled my eyes, and wiped off my hand.
"So what you like licking guys hands now? Didn't know you rolled like that man."
Ganke chuckled, getting his phone.
"Oh shut up you know you liked it."
The bell at the top of the door swung open. Suddenly I made eye contact with one of the most beautiful girls I've ever seen. Her (eye color) eyes shined in the white lights of the shop. Her (skin color) skin looked soft, and smooth like she was made of silk. Her outfit looked great on her. She seemed to be very fashionable. I smiled gentelly at her, hoping that she noticed me.
"Hey Judge! We're over hear!" Ganke yelled.
Walking away my eyes followed her for a minute.
Wow!... How can someone be that pretty. Holding the door open for her, was none other than Judge, who was definitely checking out her (when I actually checked  really nice) ass. What a perv, am I right?
She walked over to the cashier to order. Did I mention how good she looked?
Damn.
"Hey guys, whats up?" Judge said, only now turning to look at us.
"Yeah man it's all good. What's  up with that girl over there?" Ganke asked while doing that handshake that every guy seems to know.
"Thinking of giving her a go?" He says scooting over in the booth.
I felt my face turn hot. Judge is a ladies man. If he talked to her, it would definitely be game over.
"Nah man, just got out of a relationship. She's cute though." He said reaching over the table to greet me. The feeling of relief washed over me.
"Whats goin on with you miles?" He asked with a grinn. I hand him his now iced coffee.
"It's all good man. What took you so long?" I asked, not really caring.
For the past few minutes I talked to the guys about work, school, girls, stuff like that. My phone rings out of nowhere startling me.
"Awe man it's my dad, wait a minute I'm gonna put it on speaker."
"Okay, go ahead." Both say, giggling.
I answer the phone.
"Hey dad, what's up?"
"Yo Miles pass the weed!" Judge shouted into the phone.
"And the vibrator ahhhh~" Ganke screamed earning us  few dirty glares . I turned around to see , the girl from earlier rushing out the door with a tray of coffees in her hands. While she was leaving she dropped a card, close to the table we sat at.
"Nice to hear you guys again." I hear mu dad say over the phone.
"Nice to hear from you too Mr. Davis!"
They both, laughed.
"Miles do you mind if we talk?privately?
I lowered my phone, taking it off speaker.
Never again.
I got up with my phone to my ear. I walked up to the object that was left on the floor by the girl I saw earlier.
My dad rambled in my ear about going down town to help, with some papers at his office. Since he assumed I had nothing better to do than just sit around, and talk shit, with Ganke and Judge.
Which was true. But I didn't want to catch a ride all the way to down town New York. Until i looked at the girl's card. It was her ID card. Apparently she worked down at the Daily Bugle. They're basically this dumb tabloid that makes up stuff about whats happening in the city.
And their favorite topic? SPIDER-MAN ofcourse. As if they didn't do Peter Parker justice on the issue of 'Spider-Man friend,or foe?', I have an issue coming up of the title "The  new spiderman for better or for worse?". Which if you ask me, puts alot of unnecessary pressure on the new guy.
"So are you comin down, or what?" My dad asked in a serious tone.
"Do I really have to go?"
"Only if you want a ride, back home." He paused.
"I'll even throw in an extra  $20 in your allowance this week."
I would have passed on the offer, and just let Jugde drop me home, but...
I looked back down at her ID card. Her name was (y/n). Maybe if I go down town, I could sneak over to The Bugle to see if I could meet her. Plus I skipped going home last week. I know Mom misses me .
"Okay I'm on my way." I said, making my way over to my friends.
"You need a -"
"Nope, I'll just take the subway, if thats cool?" I ask grabbing my backpack.
"Fine . See you in a few." I hung up.
"Where you off to, so soon?" Judged asked looking up at me.
"My old man, wants to help out at the station. I'll catch you guys, back at the dorm".
"Alright, seeya man." Ganke smiled.
I made my way out of the coffee shop, making my way to the local subway. I walked over to the waiting seats, sitting on one. The thought of what gwen said popped back into my mind. Hear I was thinking that she really liked me. I sighed , leaning back into my chair. Maybe Ganke was right. I didn't have time for dating anymore.  With school, and me fighting a giant mutant every 24 hours or less, this girl, or any girl at that should be the last thing on my mind. Maybe this whole thing was just a mistake. I literally know nothing about her. I get up from my seat, and opened my phone to text my dad that I was not coming. I mean really, what are the odds of a girl like her, liking a guy like me. I mean nothings wrong with me I guess. For some reason this girl made me feel like I probably didn't have a chance. With my eyes glued on my phone, I walked to the nearest exit. I made up an excuse for my dad, and a thousand more for why trying to talk to this girl was stupid. What if she has a boyfriend?
What if she doesn't like boys.
What if she wasn't a real girl, but like a succubus alien from another universe ? Or what if-"
"Hey!" A frustrated female voice yelled. Moving my phone away from my face, I saw...
Her!
One of the coffees that was in the tray was now on the floor.
"I- I'm so sorry! It's my fault... I could pay for another, one if you like? How much did it-"
I was stopped, by the sound of a small laugh. She was laughing?
Why was she laughing? I couldn't help but notice how cute she sounded when she did.
"Uh-It's fine. That was my coffee anyway , just try to be more aware of your surroundings okay?"She kicked the wasted drink aside and walked past me.
Did that just happen, or am I dreaming?
Without even thinking I walk up beside her. Eventually we arrive back at the waiting seats.
We sat there awkwardly , waiting for the first train to arrive. Weren't you walking the other way? Why did you turn back?"she asked, now facing me.
I take a deep breath then speak.
"I-" the sound of a train halting in it's tracks saved me from embarrassing myself even more.
There it was. This was my chance to give her card back, and maybe get her number.
"Are you comin?" She says,  walking into the train.
I run to catch up with her. The train was crowded, and noisey as always. I hated the subway.
We both stood at the long handle bar on the train.
"So what's your name?" She asked looking into my eyes.
I felt my heart drop.
"M-miles. Miles Morales. " I give her a toothy grinn, and she gives me one in return.
I hated the subway, but not today.
