Chapter 1:

Sometimes, when a lot of things happen at once that get rid of one really bad thing, you forget it until everything else is over.

And everything caught up to Peter after coming back home.

But Peter was in need to talk to someone he knew about the past few months.

After finding out his Spider Man identity, Aunt May and him had the worst argument they ever had, which (to gloss over the details) ended with Aunt May storming out of his room shouting "Go ahead and get yourself killed! See if I care!" They had barely spoken in months.

School was even more of a nightmare. The girls were mad at Peter for ditching Liz at homecoming and were ignoring him rudely. To make matters worse, they stirred up rumors about him that sounded outrageous yet believable. Those who were brave enough to approach tormented him. Flash was even worse to him then ever before.

Ned was ever by his side, but he was dragged into the rumors too, making Peter feel worse. Ned had been dragged into too much because of him. So, Peter began to avoid Ned whenever he could. This caused him and Ned to get into a fight too, and now Ned was either eating alone or with MJ, who made it clear that she was on Ned's side and mad at Peter.

Peter turned on his phone and clicked his contacts.

Peter hovered over the contact, but eventually shut his phone off.

Mr. Stark has better things to worry about than me.

Peter never felt so upset.

Why can't you just stop being so selfish Peter?

Peter was selfish.

His phone dinged, signaling a news notification. Peter glanced at it and read the headline:

WAKANADA WELCOMED BY WORLD INTO THE UNITED NATIONS

Peter tapped the headline. The page the news story was on showed a picture of the royal family. King T'Challa, nest to his mother Ramonda, girlfriend Nakia, a warrior Okoye, and sister Shuri.

Peter looked at Shuri and gave a sigh. She was a princess in a country that was so advanced no one had even thought of their technology. She was next in line to the throne. Rich. And, from the looks of it, she had friends. A great relationship with her family.

"I bet she has it so easy." replied Peter.

Across the world in Wakanda, a young princess was in her room.

Shuri stormed into her room, so hurt that she had tears in her eyes.

"Shuri! I'm busier now than you ever will be! Can't you understand I can't spend every day with you!"

She had never fought with her brother like that before. She had never said what she told him.

"I'm still part of your life! You can't boss me around! You're not dad!"

Shuri looked out the window.

She hadn't felt this lonely in a while. With Wakanda part of the United Nations, kingly duties, speding time with Nakia- her brother had no time anymore for her.

Shuri had no idea why she was so angry. She had braced herself for it. Her older brother was going to be busy. Not a lot of the quality time they once spent.

But she wasn't prepared for full days without even seeing her brother!

She missed him, but there wasn't even time to tell him how she felt. Her mother, being raised an only child, couldn't understand how lonely it was for Shuri to be in the lab and only be visited briefly by a guard. And Shuri was tired of the constant "Not now Shuri." every time she tried to talk to T'Challa.

That day, something inside her snapped and she couldn't take another "Not now". She had gone off at her brother for five minutes. T'Challa fired back, and Okoye looked as if she would have to intervene.

"Our father would be ashamed with how selfish his daughter is!"

That's what T'Challa had shouted at her- for the first time- before storming off.

Shuri pulled out her laptop and looked up a video on Youtube. The same one she had seen many times before.

Spider Man.

Shuri had ound the video a year earlier- and the footage of Spider Man amazed her. He seemed so- happy. So free. He must have a great life.

"I bet his family understands." replied Shuri after the video ended.

Was she selfish? But- she couldn't be. She wasn't. Right?

She had never felt more conflicted, hurt, and lonely.

Little did she know in a small apartment in New York, Spider Man was in his room, feeling the same way.

I've been working on some writing skills recently. One of my weak skills is writing non OC fanfictions, so this multi chapter (hopefully) story (hopefully) will improve my skills. Chapter's a tad choppy, but I might go back to edit.

I hope you enjoyed!
