"what do you mean you don't care about spider-man?!" (y/n)'s newest friend screeched. kourtney looked at the girl crazy as she and (y/n) walked through the biology lab. "well, it's like.. weird. i guess?" she started as she sat at her table.

"come on, a teenager in a suit? what does he even do all day? wait around for a fight or crime?" (y/n) rolled her eyes as kourtney sat two tables over from her. just as she finished her sentence ricky bowen appeared and sat next to her. and boy was he cute.

they were assigned lab partners the day she got to this school two weeks ago. she smiled at him before hearing kourtney call her crazy. "i'm not crazy for thinking some guy in a spider-man suit really will save the town from dangerous behavior." she shook her head as the bell rang.

"you don't like spider-man?" ricky asked, feeling a little pinch to his heart. the reason being, he was spider-man himself. (y/n) looked over to him and let out a laugh. "do you like that store bought suit kid?" she questioned before engaging into whatever assignment they were going to do.

halfway through class, (y/n) got a message from her mom that read 'hey buttercup, i'll be gone late tonight. you can order food or wait until i'm home. love you!' ricky glanced at the message and stifled a laugh.

"buttercup?" he jokingly asked his partner. (y/n)'s eyes widened as she shushed him. "you read my message?" she asked quietly grabbing her phone from his view. "sorry. it was right there and i looked." ricky said seeing her look at him weird.

"it's fine. just. don't say that nickname out loud, okay? my mom has called me that since i was a baby. no one else knows but us two. and now you." she said locking her phone and slipping it in her backpack. ricky didn't want to embarrass her even more and left it alone. not wanting her to grow a disliking to him as well.

the rest of the class he thought about the conversation before. a way to get (y/n) to like spider-man was on his mind. especially if he was starting to crush on her. not that he would admit it out loud. since she was new, several boys were pinning over her.

the bell rang as their teacher spoke loudly, "don't forget your projects are due tuesday! i suggest you start today!" (y/n) sighed and looked at ricky. "since you saw my message earlier, i'll have the house to myself. want to come over and we can start?" she asked.

ricky froze a little. he was going to be able to spend time with (y/n) alone. today. he agreed as they exchanged numbers and her address. (y/n) smiled and walked out the lab with kourtney by her side.

he only had one idea flowing in his head right now. and that was casually show up to her house early as spider-man and then leave to become ricky before going back. what is the worst that can happen?

(y/n) sat on her bed as music played through the speaker in her room. she was getting some other homework done before she heard the tree next to her window rustle. slowly she turned the music down and set her book aside.

looking down at the phone, she saw it was too early for ricky to even show up yet. getting up, she heard a thump on the flat surface roof and a shadow in the corner. (y/n) gasped softly and went to grab her taser in the beside drawer.
