The Date and the Party

Word Count: 748 

The next day was a wide range of emotions. It was happiness, but also slight confusion and some spots of sadness. My day started like normal. I walked to school alone like I've been doing for a while now after Peter left walking with me so he could walk with Ned. Then when I get into school the first thing I do is go to my locker and ignore any snarky comments from Flash. Then I sit down for the register and after that is done with, head to my first lesson. My first four lessons of the day were Maths, then Science (my favourite), then English, Then Geography. The only abnormal part of the day happened at lunchtime.

I went to my locker and put my stuff away, before going to the canteen with MJ to get my lunch. I ate like usual before leaving. MJ had a chess club to go to, and Peter had a Science club to go to. I am also in the Science club, but I was running a bit late, so was Ned. We happened to be walking to our lockers at the same time, that's ok, Ned's kinda my friend by now. We both paused by our lockers. Ned looked through the window to the science lab and Peter gave him a thumbs up. I threw him a confused glance. "U-um Laura..." he started.

"Yes?" I said.

"I have a question to ask you.." he said, hesitantly.

"What is it?"

"U-um, will you go with me to Homecoming."

He saw that I immediately didn't know what to say.

"Well like, you're really funny and kind and I've actually liked you for a while..."

"Yes" I interrupted.

"Yes as in..."

"Yes, I will go to Homecoming with you."

He looked shocked but also happy. I was happy too. I've always admired Ned, and I was more Than happy to go with him to Homecoming.

The last lesson of the day (history) was taking a while, but as soon as it was over I rushed out and packed my rucksack from my locker. I then proceeded to run home, rush through the front door and run up to Aunt May. "What is it?" She said, half panicked and half confused.

"I got a date for Homecoming, and I need your help."

"When is Homecoming?"

"In two weeks."

"Two weeks!"

"Well, I wasn't planning on really going until now."

"Laura, you're gonna be the death of me some day."

It was the next day at school that I heard about Liz's party. I decided I would go just because MJ was going, also it would make Aunt May happy. So later that evening I got into a dress and prepared myself, mostly mentally, for the party. Aunt May drove me, Peter and Ned there. When I entered there was a big bustling crowd, it seemed like the whole school was there. I was a bit overwhelmed and just stared for a bit before Liz came up to me.

"Hey Laura, glad you could make it." She said.

"Well, wouldn't wanna miss it!" I replied, awkwardly.

A loud screech of a broken microphone happened from somewhere behind us.

"Oh god, I better go. Seems like Flash broke the equipment again."

"Oh ok, um, I'll suppose I'll see you around."

"Yeah, see you"

She hurried away and I tried to find something to do. Then I saw Ned standing alone while appearing to call someone on his phone. I decided to ask him where Peter had gotten too.

"Hey Ned, where's Peter?" I Said.

"Um, he's got a thing at the uhhhh- spider plant."

"Ned, I know, and why the hell would he be being Spider-man in the middle of the party."

My phone started ringing. It was surprisingly Happy.

"Oh, let me take this." I said.

I then walked to an empty corner and quietly answered the phone.

"Hey Happy, I'm kinda in the middle of a party now and-"

"I know, I know. That's why I'm ringing. Peter disappeared from the party right? And now his tracker says he is fighting bad guys in the middle of nowhere."

"Hang on, what now?"

"I need you to go Gecko-Girl and knock some sense into him."

"Fine, but you owe me a party."

I ended the call before going outside and putting on my suit. Happy had sent me his location, so it was pretty simple. I began making my way to his location and immediately spotted him. Fighting off 4 heavily armed guys. "Hey Peter, what the actual bullcrap is this." I said, he didn't respond. I shrugged then leaped straight into the middle of the fight.
