The Amazing Spider-Man: Electric City
Chapter 1: Finding Our Way Back
It had been 2 weeks since the death of Captain Stacy, and Peter could hardly stand that he had to stay away from Gwen longer. The smiles that they gave each other in the hallway were not good enough for him.
The fact he loved her but could not express it to her was killing him on the inside, but he had to keep moving. Thinking about it was not going to make the situation any better, only worse.
The bell rang.
"Great now I'm late, God what are you doing up there!" Peter thought to himself while looking up at the ceiling.
Peter walked into the class slowly trying not to make eye contact with Miss Ritter. "I thought this was going to never happen again," She said with strong disappointment in her voice. "Sorry Miss Ritter, I have just had a rough week and …" Peter began to say before he was interrupted. "Peter just sit down I don't need your lousy excuses" Miss Ritter groaned. "Yes Miss Ritter" Peter replied.
He sat in his regular seat behind Gwen. He eyes were red. She had cried, hard. Peter felts sorry for her. He realized that she was going through so much drama.
He scooted forward a little and whispered, "I can't change the past, but I can change the future. She turned around and whispered angrily in reply "just because you made me smile with you cheesy little comment once does not mean that I just up and forgive you, you hurt me!"
Just then, Miss Ritter looked up at Gwen. "Miss Stacy, would you like to explain to the class what you and your boyfriend are talking about?" Gwen look embarrassed. Peter looked down at his black paper and started tapping his desk with his pencil.
They were both embarrassed. Gwen stood up. Peter thought she was going to march out the room.
"First of all, Peter is far from my boyfriend" Gwen said with tension in her voice, while everyone oohed and laughed, "Second Peter was distracted by Peter ridiculous story, and horrible morning breath!" Gwen continued.
"That's enough Miss Stacy!" Miss Ritter said. Everyone was laughing. Peter walked out of the room furiously.
Peter skipped the rest of school, web slinging through the city. This was his way of blowing off some steam. "You have to be kidding me!" Peter thought.
He let go of the last web the pointed his hand down firmly aiming at a building below and attached his web.
His phone began to vibrate of his hip. He swung on top of building. He pulled out his phone and looked at who it was. It was Gwen. He was so mad at her, but he answered anyway.
Before Gwen could get a word out Peter already began his rant. "You didn't have to do that you know". Gwen sniffled and replied
"I know I'm sorry, It's just all these built up emotions inside of me, and I just didn't know what I was doing I'm so stupid and I…" she broke down crying.
Peter almost cried too. She truly cared for him; she did not really mean what she said. "Gwen, its ok, stop crying please" Peter said. "O-okay" Gwen mumbled.
Peter continued, "Where are you?" Peter asked. "My Apartment… Why?" Gwen asked sniffling some more. "Just be at the window in ten minutes 'kay" Peter replied. Then he hung up.
He was going to make things right. Today was the day he was going to get his girl back. Even if he had to break a million promises.
