Hello?

Well . . . This is Kinda Awkward

The bell rang, finally signaling the end of the school day. Most people were relieved, quickly shoving their belongings into their backpacks and rushing out the doors to meet up with their friends.

Peter was not most people.

He slowly grabbed his binder and biology textbook after hearing the bell, wincing slightly at the loud noise invading his sensitive ears. Although he had gotten a grip on his enhanced senses, the ringing sound was still uncomfortable.

After putting his school supplies back in his bag, Peter slung it over his shoulder and made his way out of the classroom. He walked through the hallway with his eyes glued to the floor as he tried not to draw attention to himself on his way to his locker. Peter never liked being the center of attention. It's never really worked out for him when he was, so he tried to avoid it as much as possible.

Normally, Peter would meet up with his best, and only, friend, Ned, but he was at home sick today. Needless to say, Peter's day had been very lonely.

Peter miraculously made it to his locker, put his books away, and walked out of the school with no interruptions.

Flash must be busy with something today. Not that I'm complaining, Peter thought to himself. He walked out the front doors of Midtown School of Science and Technology, or just Midtown Tech, and started walking in the direction of his favorite sandwich shop, Delmar's Deli-Grocery.

Peter had started working at Delmar's as soon as he turned 14. He needed the extra cash and Mr. Delmar was nice enough to take him in so young. Getting the job wasn't hard since he had a pretty good relationship with Mr. Delmar from his frequent visits to the shop.

As he was rounding a corner, Peter felt his phone vibrate in his pocket. When he went to check it, he realized he didn't recognize the number.

Now, Peter's a smart kid. He knows his name is not Steve, and that this guy got the wrong number. So, he decided to do the responsible thing. . .
