The New Student
It is 8:00 A.M. at the university. Students are assembled in different groups all around the campus talking, eating breakfast, and checking over or finishing their homework. It's a pretty normal day here.
At least it is until a gorgeous strawberry-blonde, wearing a pair of dark blue flares and a long-sleeved white blouse appears, walking with her books toward the main building where her next class is. She is attracting almost everyone's eyes, as she continues along, not really mindful of them. The whispers start around her; however, they instantly cease as the first bell tolls.
She is already in the building by the time they start moving to go to their classes. The girl continues down the hall silently as hundreds of students flood inside all around her. She soon reaches her destination and steps through the doorway as the noise decimal increases in the now full hall.
The tall girl heads to the desk in the front of the descending classroom. Her approach is so silent that Dr. Conners doesn't even notice that someone is there until she speaks.
"Are you Doctor Conners?" she asks.
"Yes," he answers while looking up at the young girl.
"Hello, my name is Zina Lily; I'm your new student," she states politely as she hands him her papers.
"Ah, right, take your seat," he replies, indicating the many rows of chairs.
"Thank you," she says smiling, "I look forward to being in your class, Dr. Conners."
Zina then turns and skips up the aisles to sit down in the second to last seat in the back row. The students file inside the classroom right after she had taken her place. They all sit down, and the bell soon tolls once again when they are settled. The students wait quietly as the professor finished his paperwork and stands up to take roll.
He slowly calls out names and as he carries on, Zina notices a girl beside her listening to a radio that is now saying, "Spider-man has appeared again and has prevented yet another robbery in the Manhattan area." Zina is quite intrigued by this and taps the girl on the shoulder.
"Who's Spider-man?" she questions.
"You don't know?" she says in disbelief.
"No."
"Well, he's…" she starts to say, but stops when a young man with light brown hair and blue eyes comes sprinting into the room.
"Sorry…I'm late…Dr. Conners," he pants.
"That's alright Peter. I'm sure you were busy," the doctor replies, "take your seat." (a/n Dr. Conners knows that Peter is Spider-man.)
Peter nods and sits in the only open seat that is on Zina's other side. She smiles at him while he pants a bit more and then starts breathing normally. She holds out her hand to him; he takes it.
"My name is Zina Lily. What's yours?" she asks.
"Peter Parker," he states nicely as he shakes her hand, "interesting name, Zina."
"Thank you."
"Hey," the girl on her other side calls," You still want to know who Spider-man is?"
"Yes."
"Well, he's our superhero. He protects us all. He dresses up in this spider costume and is really cool, but very hard to spot sometimes."
"Interesting, very interesting."
"Yeah."
"Hey Peter, do you know anything about this Spider-man?" Zina questions turning to face him.
"Uh…not really."
"Ah, Pete, don't be modest. You know, Peter here, is sort of Spider-man's unofficial photographer," the girl continues again, "right, Peter."
"Well…uh," he starts as Zina turns toward him again, expectantly waiting an answer.
A/n: How was that? Hope you like it. Well, review and tell me, but flames will not be tolerated. Thank you. Next chapter will be, "Zina, The Curious Girl". Oh, by the way sorry about the wrong character name. I've been working with other characters lately and got a bit confused. I am truly sorry.
