Okay so turns out you can actually add a whole lot of chapters at once, which I did not know!
Forewarning: This chapter is very short.
Sorry about that.
Hope you like this one!
Barely five minutes since I dropped back into my apartment via the window, Aunt May is knocking on my door.
"Peter! You in there?"
I hurriedly stuff my suit into my closet and pull on a shirt. "Yeah. Um… just a sec!" In my rush to get to the door, I trip over my skateboard. "Ow!"
"Peter? You okay?"
I bite my tongue to hold back any foul words that threaten to come out, instead choosing to suffer in silence. I jump on the spot, holding my foot, for a moment before flinging open the door. "I'm good! I just… uh… tripped."
She raises an eyebrow before handing me the evening paper. "Page 2. I'll be making dinner."
As soon as she leaves, I slam the door and walk back over to my bed. "Ow. Ow. Ow." Eventually, I reach my destination and throw myself onto the soft mattress. Okay, maybe not so soft, but it's better than nothing! I roll over onto my stomach and open the paper with one hand, the other still clutching my sore foot. As I turn to the second page, the headline jumps out at me.
STARK OFFERING INTERNSHIP FOR ONE LUCKY TEEN
My mouth falls open as I skim through the article. I leap off the bed, ignoring the pain in my foot, and run out of my room. "May…"
She steps out of the kitchen, holding a wooden spoon in one hand and the phone in the other.
"Ned already called. He's on his way over."
"Thank you, May!" I give her a quick kiss on the cheek before running back to my room and jumping back on the bed to finish reading the article. Best. Day. Ever!
Whoops! I forgot to say sooner, but I got a lot of inspiration for this fic from the one by ShadowintheKnight called Accidental Meeting.
It's really good.
You should read it.
