I wake up to the loud "BEEP BEEP BEEP" of my alarm clock. I turn it off as I jump out of bed. I walk sluggishly to the bathroom. I take a quick shower to wake myself up. I get dressed in my normal attire before heading downstairs to eat breakfast. I smile at the sight of pancakes with syrup on the table. I sit down and start to dig in. My aunt is at the sink doing dishes as my Uncle Ben is nowhere to be seen. I assume he's still sleeping since today he is off from work. I quickly finish breakfast and thank my aunt for the delicious meal with a kiss on the cheek and a hug. I go up the stairs stepping up two stairs at a time. I go in my room and get my backpack before going back downstairs. The thought in the back in my head appears out of nowhere but it's a pleasant surprise. 'I've got the field trip today!' I say in my head in excitement. I grab the skateboard next to the door and rush out the door. I toss the skateboard on the sidewalk and hop on with a running start.
I skate to school and put my skateboard in my locker before heading to my first period. I enter and take a seat at my desk. As the bell rings, everyone takes out their permission slips except for a select few who forgot to get it signed. I look over and see a few kids making fun of the field trip saying "Only nerds are going" or "I wouldn't be caught dead at that science presentation". The teacher walks up to the front of the class and silences them. "Now class the field trip to the science hall will be the entire day so I hope you brought your lunch. As for the kids who did not feel the need to bring in a signed permission slip, you will be going to Ms. Alverez's class to do a packet of work I've set up for you". All the smirks and sly remarks stop and all the kids look at her wide eyed. The kids without the slips start complaining. "Now how stupid does this sound." I laugh to myself as the kids without the slip stand up and walk out the door to Ms. Alverez's class. The rest of the class exits the school to the buses waiting outside for us. We board the buses and take our seats.
I sit down in the last available seat which is near a group of kids I don't particularly care for, all except Gwen Stacy. I see Gwen and remember back to when I met her in 6th grade. We never really talked because she was always with the cool kids but she was still smarter than she lead on to be. I close my eyes and fall asleep.
I am quickly awakened by someone bumping into me. It was Flash who wasn't sitting here when I fell asleep. I look behind me and see that the original kid who was sitting beside me had switched seats with Flash. 'Great' I say in my mind as Flash pushes me against the window. Almost immediately after I hit the glass with my face, I feel the force of Flash's body lift from me and my face moves back away from the window. I look to what caused Flash to retreat from tormenting me and it was Gwen. She pulled him off of me and told him to leave me alone. I could tell Flash was angry for what she did but he always listened to her. I had a feeling he liked her and that's the only reason he does what he does for her. Flash goes back to his seat and I air mouth the Gwen "Thank you." She smiles at me and I smile back just as the bus comes to a stop.
All our heads turn towards the front of the bus as the teacher stands up and faces us "Okay everyone! It is a privilege to be here so you all better be on your best behavior! No fooling around!" She says looking at Flash in particular. We all stand up and walk out of the bus and towards the entrance of the Science Hall. We enter and see a big crowd of scientists and business men talking to each other and a big stage with many spiders in glass boxes. A scientist walks up on stage and taps the mike to silence everyone. "Thank you all for coming. Today we will show you an extraordinary experiment. We will be showing radioactive spiders. This will show us that there is a possibility to making this world a better place. This will show that we can use this to heal people with many diseases and even enhance abilities." The scientist explains as he shows us all the spiders. I go up to the front of the crowd and take out my camera. I point it at the spiders and the scientist and snap a shot.
A spider had fallen out of the box through one of the holes during putting them on the stage earlier. It had made its way to the roof and just as I took his picture; it fell and landed on my hand. Out of instinct, it bit my hand. I was shocked at the event and threw it off me. Immediately after the bite, I started feeling dizzy. I felt as if I was gonna faint. "I need to get out of here…" I say as I stumble towards the exit. Not caring about the class group, I walk out and head home. I cross the street still woozy and getting worst. Spontaneously, a car comes rushing at me and I jump out of the way before I realize it. I close my eyes thinking I got hit but when I reopen them, I'm on a wall. I'm on the side of a building wall as if… I was a spider. I drop down shocked from what I just experienced. "God I need to get home… I'm hallucinating like crazy" I say trying to make an excuse for what just happened.
I get home and hurry to my room. I ignore my aunt and uncle and crash on my bed. I stay there with my head pumping and my body sweating out of control. I pass out soon after.
