Soulmark 《Spiderman》

7.) Little Siren

~~~Peters's POV~~~

After a failed attempt of trying to make dinner, May and I decide to go out to eat instead.

"So how was this week of school? You haven't really talked about school," May questions as we sit down in the small Chinese restaurant.

Only a few people occupy the restaurant, all keeping to themselves quietly. We sit away from everyone.

"Ah! I forgot!"

May chuckles. "The first couple weeks are usually pretty crazy and you've been busy... spideying," she whispers. "I've also been busy at work. We haven't really had a chance to sit down and talk lately."

"Yeah," I awkwardly rub the back of my neck. "Sorry..."

"Peter, it's fine. I understand. We've both been busy," she shrugs. "It happens. Now, tell me all the exciting things that've happened lately."

He laughs. "Well, I... made a new friend."

"Is it a girl?"

"May!"

She laughs. "Is she cute?"

I sigh. "Her name is Melody, and she came from Colorado with her parents and younger brother, Dylan. He's a freshman. And, yes, she's cute... and really pretty."

"Melody's a pretty name. Any classes together?"

"Pretty much all of them," I tell her. "She lives in the penthouse of those big new complexes down the road."

"Oh? What do her parents do to get one of those?"

"Uh... she said her dad is an architect and a, umm... broadway director sometimes and her mom is a surgeon I think?"

"Really? That's pretty cool," May smiles. "Guess that's why her name is Melody with having a dad like that. What's her last name?"

"Uh, Tamber."

May gasps, slapping her hands on the table. "Are you saying her father is Terrence Tamber?!"

"I guess? I don't know her father's name."

"Sometimes a broadway director?! He's a big time broadway star as a director and an actor too!"

"I didn't know you liked that stuff."

"Wow, you need to get his autograph when you meet him for me."

"That's embarrassing..."

"Oh hush, I'm sure he'd love to do it."

We order our food once the waiter comes over. "We'll get right to it." He disappears as quickly as he came.

"So, tell me more about this girl."

"Well, I found out where she lives when I was swinging around. She was singing. Oh yeah, she's also in chorus! Anyway, her voice was so... melodic... Uh, no pun intended... It was so hypnotizing like I was being drawn in like... like..."
