Chapter 3

"I'm sure whoever you're waiting for is running a little late. Why don't I get someone to show you around instead and you can meet your friend later?" The kind woman offered as she watched over the new Japanese student.

"Um...that's okay, I'll just walk around for now. Thank you though," Kagome smiled softly, rising from her seat in the front office.

"Have a great day."

"You too sweetheart, welcome to Midtown High School!"

As the door closed behind her firmly, Kagome blew out a nervous breath.

Today was a new start. This morning she considered slightly strange but she would try and make her high school year a lot smoother than the prior grades. So here she was in a normal American high school, in the clothing of her choice rather than a uniform for the first time.

'I guess I'll run solo for now,' she mused as she made her way down the generic direction towards her locker. She consciously brushed her black waves as she caught the curious gazes of her classmates. Not that she blamed them, if there were students coming in halfway through the semester, she would be curious as well. Clearing her throat, she pulled out her phone to check her messages.

'Hmmm...you better have a good excuse Mr. Parker,' Kagome smirked as she tapped the screen to view the available message.

From: Peter :)
Oh Kags. Pls don't be angry. I'll be a lil late. Wait for me! I swear I'm excited to see you!

Kagome could practically hear him rambling on. Though irked, considering they've been planning on meeting one another after all this time, the message still brought a smile to her face.

She guessed she could forgive him.

They waited years to meet, a few more minutes wouldn't kill her.
With a happier pep in her step, she sent her message and continued her search for her locker.

Whilst a mile away.

'I'm gunna be late I'm gunna be late I'm gunna be late' Peter chanted in his head, willing his legs to pump faster as he made the final leap into an alley two blocks from his school. From Kagome.

With practiced grace, Spiderman landed behind a tower of cardboard boxes. Almost comically, he peaked his head out to scan the area before ducking back down.

Racing against time, he grunted and groaned as he stumbled around attempting to simultaneously take off his costume while pulling on his sweater and jeans. Faintly he realized he at one point almost kicked a cat, which he apologized to, but found himself too occupied attempting to run as fast a humanly possible without giving away his inhuman abilities. And when he glanced for a quick second at the glass windows to check his hair, he literally looked like someone running to the bathroom for an emergency.

'Please answer please answer please answer!' Peter dialed one of the few phone numbers he knew by heart as he made his way through the last block.

"Moshi moshi!"

"Kags! Where are you?!"

Like his own body was on fire, he burst through the front doors almost running over the students on the other side.

"Sorry!"
"Yes, you should be! Leaving me all alone."

"What! No! Not you Kags! No! Wait! I mean to you too but I almost-that's not important. Where are you?"

The familiar giggle had him smiling immediately as he slowed down to a fast walk.

"I'm at my locker. I always saw these on American TV but never knew you guys actually had them," Kagome rambled on cutely in Peter's opinion," I don't know what I'm supposed to put in it yet but I guess it's one of those things you have to teach me. Locker 235, find me."

"I will," Peter promised, the butterflies in his stomach warmed.
