I get back to my apartment finally after a few classes and to my surprise Felicia is there watching tv on the couch. "Hey!" She says cheerfully.

"Hi," I say less excited than she was. She stares at me as I go through the motions of putting my stuff down and getting something to eat. "Can I help you?" I ask her wondering why she is just staring at me like a cat on a red dot.

"Who was that guy you left with and never came back?" She asks with a smile. I sit at our breakfast bar and eat a bowl of ice cream, I know so healthy. I watch her as she gets up and comes to sit in front of me.

"I told you old friend," I say. She shakes her head as I put a spoonful of ice cream in my mouth.

"I will not accept that Stella Carmichael, come on. He must of been someone special to keep you out all night," she says raising her eyebrows. I almost choke on the ice cream when she says someone special.

"Felicia I told you. He was just a guy I knew in Queens," I say.

"Why don't you want to tell me? You've told me about Queens before, barely, but still. That wasn't Jason cause if it was he looks way WAY different in person," she says. I shake my head.

"No it wasn't Jason," I say almost rolling my eyes. I've never told her about Peter cause it would give away him being Spider-Man and me having powers.

"Then who was he?" She asks more demanding.

"His names Peter we had a sort of thing before I moved. We were just catching up and I slept over at his place cause it was too late to walk around by myself," I explain annoyed. She smiles and wiggles her eyebrows.

"You slept over Huh?" She says dancing a bit. I roll my eyes.

"It's not like that. He's just a guy I know. We don't even like each other like that. We never have," I lie. I don't know about Peter, well besides when he almost kissed me, but I know I liked him before I moved and he's part of the reason I never dated anyone else. Felicia rolls her eyes.

"So you two just slept?" She asks. I nod, leaving out the part where we cuddled. She groans a bit. "Well that's boring," she says. I shrug not knowing what to say and she walks away. "Oh, by the way, I'm gonna be out late again. I have a date," she says with a smile.

"With who?" I ask mocking her. She shakes her head and rolls her eyes.

"It's a blind date," she says. "No idea what he looks like, but his personality is great," she adds. I realize she's talking about not knowing what Spider-Man looks like. Little does she know is that the guy she was so curious about is the guy she's trying to get after. I don't want to be in a love triangle. It's too clique. I wouldn't be anyway cause I don't like Peter and Felicia is using Spider-Man. And that's that. Man I really need a friend to talk to about the crap.

Felicia walks into her bedroom and locks the door behind her. I finish my ice cream and walk over to my own room. I pick up some dirty clothes and sigh. I feel tired still after classes and not sleeping long. I lay down on my bed and drift off to sleep.

I wake up and I'm in a hallway. I get out of bed and look around. "Hello?" I ask whoever will hear me.

"Stella?" I hear Peter say, but I don't see him. "Stella!" He yells out. I turn around and see Felicia in front of me in her black cat outfit.

"Felicia?" I ask and she smirks at me. "What are you-" I'm stopped by her shooting me in the shoulder. I scream out in pain.

"Stella!" I hear Peter yell again. I cough as I'm shot again this time in the wrist. "Stella!" Peter suddenly is in front of me standing next to Felicia in his Spider-Man suit.
