Keeping Secrets | p. parker

summary

     SINCE SHE was little Georgia Stacy's life revolved around one-sided competitions. She became the second best in everything she did; when she was eleven she gained every proficiency girl scout patch there ever was; Gwen got them all at ten. At the age of thirteen she won second place in the national spelling bee and in her middle school science fair, of course loosing to her sister. Now, after barely turning fifteen, she finally beat her twin at one thing; she landed an internship with Tony Stark. As much as she pushed ahead, she was always ten steps behind her slightly older sister, Gwen.

     Her life seemed to be manifested around the fact that no matter what she did, her father would always compare her to her sister. So a lousy desk job in The Avenger's Tower was better than being at home where she'd be juxtaposed against such an already perfect contender.

     So after meeting Peter Parker, the boy who New York was suddenly infatuated with due to his alter ego, he made her feel like the opposing team was a little less hard to catch up to. So days felt a little longer as she waited for the dusk to settle over the city sky; waiting for Peter on the roof where they'd spend the nights talking, laughing and sharing secrets.

     But all things come to an end, especially when your confidante is certifiably the new hero of New York and you're suddenly whipped in with his crime-fighting shenanigans.

     Juggling school, friends and family issues is hard.

     KEEPING SECRETS is harder.
