At school, everyone was talking about me, I mean Spidey-Chick.
Especially at lunchtime. Turns out that the little girl I saved was Tina's
little sister, the most popular girl at our school.
"Spidey-chick is like, totally the bomb! I never new there was a female version of Spider-man! Can you believe my little sister was the first to see her!" Tina said excited as all of her friends gathered around.
"I saw her too!" I yelled getting into there conversation, " As a matter of fact, I know her very well!"
"Yeah, right. How can a geek like you know anybody?" Tina laughed as her friends laughed with her.
First off, I'm not a geek. That's what I'm trying NOT to be. Did I look like a geek to her? She's the one wearing shades and shorts on a cold and cloudy day! I rolled my eyes and turned back around, but still listened to their conversation. Then suddenly the cutest guy walks by me. I smiled at him, and he smiled back, but walked over to Tina's table.
He sat down next to Tina, and brushed his black hair back with his hand. Tina smiled and took her shades off so she could see a good look at his gorgeous blue eyes. My heart ached, as I saw him lean in to kiss her.
"Hi Josh," she said snuggling up to him, "how was your basketball game?"
"We won, but how come you didn't come? You said you'd be there. You missed most of my games!" Josh said lifting up his hand, " I broke my wrist too."
"Oh sweetie I'm sorry, I had a nail appointment yesterday," she said looking at her nails, "I wish I could make it up to you."
"Will you help me carry my stuff then?" Josh asked trying to lifted his backpack up. "At least 'till my wrist heals."
"What part of nail appointment didn't you understand?" Tina snapped waving her hands in Josh's face.
I stood up. "I'll help you," I smiled grabbing his bags and throwing them over my shoulder.
Josh stared at me in amazement. Tina's mouth dropped and she and her gang of friends stared at me. I looked at them confused; I didn't know why everyone looked so shocked. Finally Josh said something. "It took me forever just to lifted my bag full of heavy books, but you are lifting everyone's bags like its no problem!"
I looked in my hands and saw twenty backpacks, filled with giant books that weighed five pounds each! I guess I was so busy looking in Josh's eyes, I didn't pay attention to what I was doing. I felt so light when I picked them up though; it felt like I was only holding one.
"Um, I guess milk does do the body good!" I laughed looking at my food. "So Josh, um which one is yours?"
Josh showed me and I put the rest of the backpacks down. During the day, I walked Josh to all his classes, as Tina trailed behind, frowning. While I walked with him, I got to know him better and wished that he were in love with me. Tina was so cruel to him, all she cared about was herself, and doesn't Jill and Josh sound better then Tina and Josh?
After school, Tina was picked up in her Dad's new car, (he gets one every week) and didn't even bother to give Josh a ride. I walked Josh home, which wasn't to far from MJ's house. I was blushing; it was my first time alone with Josh. No cars were passing us by in the street, or birds singing. It was completely silent.
"Spider-chick," Josh said looking me, "you are Spider-chick."
What, I thought, how does he know? I didn't say anything about that to him! And it's SPIDEY-chick!
"The way you held everyone's bags at lunch," he said, as I looked at him shocked, "it was like you had eight arms, like a spider. That's why I called you Spider-Chick." He laughed as I slowly grinned. That was close. I thought he knew! I sighed as we stopped in front of his house.
"Thanks for walking me home," Josh smiled as he took his backpack. "Tina would have been whining if I asked her to walk with me." He laughed as I laughed along with him.
"Yeah, I can see her doing that. 'Oh Josh there is like way too much trash on the sidewalk. I know your wrist is broken, but could you carry me?" I laughed walking around acting like her.
"Yes dear, I would hate to see your new shoes get dirty!" Josh laughed as he picked me up with his other arm and whirled me around as my legs dangled. Then we slowed down and stopped as I had my arms tight around his neck. We looked at each other, and smiled as he slowly let go of me. I felt dizzy, but I wasn't sure if it was because I was spinning or because I was in love.
"Well I guess I'll see you tomorrow," he said as he pulled his backpack higher on his arm.
"Yeah," I said scratching my head. While I was scratching a strand of hair got loose and fell in front of my face.
He smiled and brushed it back behind my ear. "Goodnight," he said as he softly held my cheek and went into the house. When he closed the door, I blushed and held my cheek. Then my spider-sense went off. I quickly turned around to see Peter and MJ in a car waiting next to me.
"Boyfriend?" MJ yelled as she and Peter smiled.
"No! Just a friend!" I yelled back rolling my eyes and walking towards the car.
"Looks like you have a thing for him," Peter smiled as I hopped in.
"Shut up," I said crossing my arms. "Where are we going?"
"To the mall," MJ said, "I thought us girls can do something. Later Peter's going to take us out to dinner."
"Cool," I said as I sat back, "but what about the crime and other things happening in New York?"
"I can handle that while you girls are shopping," Peter said calmly.
"But, what about me? I thought we were partners!"
"Jill, I would like to be alone sometimes! Your more of a backup then a sidekick."
"But you said-"
"Jill! You have school and boys to worry about. You're too young to fight crime and I don't want to ruin your life! Maybe when you're older-"
"Older! I won't have these powers when I'm older! I won't even have these powers for a year! Why are you so suddenly changing your mind!"
"Because you'll just get in my way!"
I jumped back frightened. Peter sighed as he saw tears filled my eyes from his mirror. "I didn't mean… what I meant to say was-"
"No, I understand you don't want me as a partner. I probably will get in your way since I am a bit klutzy," I sniffed. "I'll just follow MJ and be an actress."
"Peter!" MJ snapped, "why are you being so selfish! The first time I seen her smile was when she became Spidey-Chick!"
"I'm sorry MJ, Jill, but I rather work alone. You can still be backup or something."
I didn't answer. It was a quiet ride to the mall. MJ and I walked into the clothes store as Peter slipped outside.
"How's this?" MJ said holding up a red dress. I shrugged as I barely looked at the dress.
"Come on Jillian, cheer up," MJ said putting the dress back.
"I'm fine Mary Jane," I said smiling.
"O.k. Well I'm going to go try this dress on. You can always look around."
"Right." MJ went into the dressing room.
"And by the way, your costume is in the car," MJ said as she put her head out of the door smiling.
My eyes widened with excitement. "Thanks MJ!" I said happily. I ran to the car, making sure no one was around, especially Peter. I hopped in the car and threw my costume on. Spiderman can't get rid of me that easily. Spidey- Chick is going to fight crime rather he likes it or not!
"Spidey-chick is like, totally the bomb! I never new there was a female version of Spider-man! Can you believe my little sister was the first to see her!" Tina said excited as all of her friends gathered around.
