Maia Parker was beautiful. She had a roundish, flat face, unusually red cheeks, and a small, pointed dot of a nose. Her eyes were dark brown, almost black, and could look through you in a heart beat. Her hair was wavy, shoulder-high, and bright auburn. She was pretty much the toughest kid at school, and everyone knew that if you got her mad, she could whip you down in a heartbeat. The fact that she was the cousin of Peter Parker, the biggest nerd in school, made her an outcast to pretty much everyone, but that was her. She didn't care. What she did care about was helping people. And everything changed that day.
