Spider-Girl: the Life of a Teenage Spider Person

Chapter Twenty

I reach the junkyard and quickly take off the top layer of clothing that I'm wearing to reveal the suit underneath.

My heart begins to pound as I slip the web-shooters onto my wrists.

I grab my phone and plug in my earbuds. Then, I press play on the first fighting video and begin to practice.

After half an hour or so of combat practice, I decide to try out the more nerve-racking and dangerous part - swinging on my webs.

I crawl up a wall and onto a tall structure in the middle of the junkyard, fortunately, there is a similar structure on the other side of the yard.

I take a deep breath, closing my eyes, taking a moment to just feel the breeze rushing past me and hear the noises of the city in the distance.

I then take aim and fire the web and... it works!

It sticks to the other structure!

Now I just have to swing over...

I nervously glance down at the ground quite a few feet below me, then I shake my head to clear out the negative thoughts.

I take another deep breath and inch closer to the edge of the structure.

Without any more hesitation, I leap off the structure and...

Feel the wind rushing past me.

I open my eyes, which until this moment, I hadn't even realized were squeezed shut.

I grin as I glide through the air.

What an amazing feeling! The wind rushing past you, the blur of color as you swing... the structure coming nearer with each second...

Wait.

I snap back to reality and prepare for landing.

I land on the structure in a classic Spidey pose.

Nailed it.
