I almost fell into my room, landing on the floor breathing heavily from running all the way home.
"No no no. No!" I don't know what I was panicking over-or why-but my mind ran restless about everything I'd just seen. I practically fell down onto my bed, pulling my goggles off of my face and throwing them on my bedside table. "Why didn't he tell me? I mean, I didn't tell him that I was Spark but that's besides the point." I ran my hand through my hair and pulled on an oversized hoodie and some shorts. "What am I supposed to say to him? Should I tell him that I know?" I paced around the room slowly. My heart beat faster as my anxiety kicked in. "No, I can't tell him I know. He'll probably tell me eventually, right? I should just not push it. Yeah, yeah I'll wait for him to tell me so he doesn't know I know." I collapsed onto my back on my bed, letting out a sigh. "Why does my life have to be so complicated? Why can't I just have a normal life like every other teenage girl?" I stared at my ceiling, then pulled my hands up to look at them. The electricity started to swirl around my hands, sending out sparks of energy in various directions.

I created a ball with the electricity, smiling at the effortless motions of my hands. The ball flickered like a light as I spread out my palm, dimming and flicking out after a few seconds. I chuckled. I jerked my head to my desk as the phone went off.
Pete: I really hope your not asleep cause I kinda need patched up again

I just let out a laugh.
"Well of course you'd need patched up after getting literally dragged behind a van." I typed a quick reply.
Me: you should know I never sleep.
Pete: good, cause I'm kinda outside of your window
I scrunched my eye brows in confusion as I stood up. Sure enough, when I opened my eyes, there stood a bloodied and bruised Peter Parker giving me a pained smile and a wave. I opened the window to let him in.

"You really should find a better hobby than walking around at 1 in the morning." He laughed as he collapsed onto my bed.
"And you should find a better hobby than patching me up at 1 in the morning." I laughed in response.
How did I not connect the dots before with all those witty comebacks and stupid quips?
I grabbed the first aid kit I now held under my desk and popped it open.
"What time did you end up leaving Liz's party? I didn't see you around after I sat talking with MJ." I asked the question to seem casual, trying to cover my own ass as far as an explanation as to why I left so early.
"Yeah, I, uh, left super early. Probably shouldn't have cause we see where it got me." We both let out a laugh as I dabbed antiseptic to a gauze pad. I looked up and started dabbing Peter's cuts on his face. "Looks like you didn't have too good of a night either." He nodded towards my shoulders and I looked down. My arm was covered in burns and cuts, the exposed skin red and bruised in places.
"Yeah, I, uh fell. I fell." He didn't ask anymore questions as I finished cleaning up his wounds. My hands closed the first aid kit as I threw away the gauze. "There. You're all patched up. Now, I suggest you get back home before May calls the cops to come looking for you."
"Yeah, your probably right." We both laughed as Peter stood up. "I'll see you at school Monday." I opened the window as Peter stepped out onto the fire escape.
"See yah then Pete." I waved bye as he left out the window, closing it and collapsing into my bed.

"Wow, my life's a mess."
————————————
My hand moved the pen across the paper, writing down all the notes from the chemistry text book next to me. I set the pen down as I looked at the clock.
12:27 AM
I closed the notebook with a slam, setting my pen down next to it. I grabbed my sweatshirt and slipped it on as I opened the window. I made sure the door was shut and locked before going out, then vaulted up to the roof. My arms pulled me up, gripping the edge of the roof as I pulled up with ease.

"You're a little later than usual." Peter crouched in the corner of the roof, dressed in the Spider-Man costume I thought for so long was someone I never knew.
"Yeah, well. I had a lot on my mind." I moved my body to sit, swinging my legs back and forth. My breathing became heavy, nervous that I might say something stupid. I heard the sound of him sit next to me.
"You seem to have a lot on your mind lately." I turned my head to look at him. "Maybe it'll help to get it off your chest?" I took a breath, opening my mouth before I could stop myself.
"My life has been...a whirlwind lately, to say the least. So much has happened that I don't even know what to do anymore. It's just...extremely difficult trying to figure out so many things at once." I sighed as I put my head in my hands.
"You'll get the hang of it...eventually. Take it from me, you will." I let out a laugh. I turned my head quickly at the sound of a car pulling up to the curb.

"Shit, I'd better get inside before my mom sees me up here." I hopped down onto the fire escape, Peter following me down while suspended upside down.
I will never be able to look at you the same way after knowing your secret Pete.
"I guess I'll see you the next time you have too much on your mind." I nodded as we both froze for a second, just sitting-well, standing and hanging-looking at each other. I couldn't stop myself when I moved my hands up to his mask, pulling it down slowly. I didn't quite know what was going through my mind as I did it. His body tensed, my fingers letting go of the fabric as it reach the bridge of his nose. I stood for another moment; every movement I made seemed like slow motion. I can just do this now, let myself figure out these feelings while he thought I didn't know who he was.
The only thing I could register was the movement of my head forward and the sudden feeling of his lips on mine. I melted into it, moving as if it was what was natural to me. I pulled away slowly, moving the mask back over the lower half of his face.
"Goodbye, Spider-Man." And with that, I climbed back into my room with a quick catapult inside.

Sorry about this being so late, I had bad writers block.

And I'm thinking that the next couple chapters are mainly gonna be fluff chapter because I don't want the story to progress too fast.

So here's this, enjoy.
