Ch.4
I crawled on top of the mall looking for crime. On top of the roof, I looked through the glass window looking down at a make-up shop. To my surprise, I saw Tina, shoplifting the latest make-up supply while she flirted with the cashier. You would think with all the money that she had, she wouldn't need to be shoplifting! I ignored it, it wasn't much of a challenge for me to stop her- but then again, it could be a lot of fun!
I waited for her to come out of the mall. As soon as she came out, I jumped off the roof and landed in front of her. She screamed in shock as I walked closer to her.
"Are you really so ugly that you can't even afford make-up?" I asked he sarcastically, "Or are you just really cheap?"
"I…I don't know what you're talking about!" she stuttered, as she backed away and held tightly to her purse.
I snatched her purse and pulled out the make-up, "Is this a new wallet style?"
"Okay! I confess! I stole it! I didn't want to use my credit card today okay! Will you leave me alone!"
"Return this to the store and don't do it again okay kid? Next time I just might tell your parents." I handed it back to her and she started heading to the store, then she turned around.
"Who are you?"
"Just your friendly neighborhood Spidey-Chick!" I was sounding more like Spiderman everyday. I had the humor and everything! I waved good-bye to her and swung away. While I was swinging, I heard gunshots near an alleyway. I swung to the crime, to find out what the commotion was about.
A couple of masked drug smugglers were trying to get away from the police. They jumped in a familiar car and started to speed away. I started swinging after them in great speed then my spider-sense went off. I turned around and something grabbed my foot. I was yanked back and hung upside down on a lamppost. All thanks to the so-called friendly neighborhood Spiderman. Turns out that what was holding me back was a spiderweb.
"You never listen do you?" Spiderman asked as I swung back and forth.
"What? I'm not being your sidekick I'm doing things on my own!"
"Isn't it your bedtime or something?" Spiderman said as he swung away. I groaned as I yanked myself out of the web- and fell on my butt. When I was free, I climbed up a wall to get a better swing. While I was climbing, it seemed like my foot was getting heavier. When I looked down, I saw a big dirtball; attached to a strand of spiderweb connected to my foot. I was about to rip it off but then I got an idea. I swung over to the scene of the crime, where the drug dealers surrounded Spiderman.
"Let's squish this spider," said one of them, slapping a bat in his hand. As soon as Spiderman was about to fight, I swung in.
"YYYYYEEEEEEEHHHHAAAA!" I shouted as I swung my heavy dirtball in one of their faces while swinging. Spiderman watched in humor as he saw me use a weapon he never had.
"It's Spider-Chick, get her!" one of them shouted as they pulled out their guns.
"SPIDEY- Chick!" I yelled as I did a flip backwards knocking one out with my dirt ball. Then my spider-sense went off again. Seem like they had me surrounded.
I laughed. "I remember when I was little," I began, as they looked at me oddly, "I had a little toy called 'Skip it'. All I had to do with it was…" I began moving my foot while the dirtball moved around and around me as I jumped over it. The dirt ball got bigger and bigger as the smugglers looked at it stupidly. Then I suddenly started speeding up faster and faster. Next thing you know, I was knocking down the smugglers like they were bowling pins. "I used to be in dance too…" I began as I started break dancing, knocking them out one by one in seconds. Finally Spidey knew that was his cue. He sprayed web all over them, tying them up as I moved out the way. I sat down, and pulled my dirtball off. Spiderman looked down at me, shook his head and laughed.
"You are one crazy kid," he sighed as he walked up to the smugglers, "now to see who these people are."
The first mask he pulled off was the leader. I watched in horror as I realized why the car looked so familiar. That car belonged to Tina's dad. Tina's dad was a drug dealer. I shook my head as I backed away. We heard the police coming after Spiderman took a picture of us together and fled from the scene.
* * *
"Jill, how come you're not eating?" MJ asked me as my plate was filled with spaghetti.
"I'm not hungry," I sighed, still shocked about Tina's dad.
"After all that action? You should be starved!" Peter said sticking a meatball in his mouth.
"I just don't feel like eating," I said pushing my plate away, "But thanks for taking me to dinner." I walked outside to get some air. Just then, I ran into Josh, looking at sports gear in the store next to us.
"Hey Josh!" I said excitedly, trying to ignore I was upset.
"Hey Jill," he said smiling, "what brings you here?"
"I was just eating dinner with my family, how's your wrist?"
"Jill, it's still been since yesterday when I broke it," he laughed, "but thanks for caring."
"Oh yeah," I laughed scratching my head. "Josh, I think I-"
"Jillian!" Peter called, "come on, maybe you just want to skip to desert?"
I groaned. "I gotta go," I said giving him a hug, "see you tomorrow."
Josh waved good-bye as I crept away. As soon as I opened the door, I heard three guys talking to Josh. It looked like some basketball players from another school.
"Well if it isn't the all-star basketball player," one said balling his fist.
"You made us lose the game," said another.
"Come on guys, it's just a game, I don't want to fight," Josh said backing up a little.
"That's because you can only use one fist," said the last one, "too bad I broke it." He laughed as he got closer to Josh. By that time, I knew it was time for Spidey-Chick. I slipped between two buildings, and took off my clothes, revealing my costume.
"Now its time to really finish you off," one said pulling out a knife. They charged at Josh, and Josh dodged each move. One of them grabbed Josh so he could stop moving and squeezed his broken wrist causing him pain. By that time, I was ready.
"Hey you! The idiot with the knife! It's not Thanksgiving! And he's not a turkey!" I yelled with my hands on my hips.
"You think you can take us?" the boy with the knife said, "Spider- Chica?"
Why people can never get my name right, I don't know. I let it slide as my spider-sense went off as I noticed him charging at me with a knife. I grabbed his arm, and through him in the window- I'll let him pay for that. The other two charged at me, and I simply shot threads of web at them, swung them around, and dropped them. Josh stared at me in amazement.
"That was amazing!" He exclaimed running up to me, "How'd…I mean wow! I was rescued by the all famous Spidey-Chick. This is so cool."
Wow, he got my name right! "You know about me? How?"
" I had always been a Spider-man fan, but ever since my girlfriend told me about you, I just knew I had to meet you! It's kind of weird though, being rescued by a girl."
"Yeah. I guess."
"I caught your girlfriend stealing make-up."
"Really?" he laughed.
"Yeah I made her return it."
"Ha, but, how do you know who my girlfriend is?"
"Um, because, she mention your name, Josh."
"How do you know my name is Josh?"
Oh no! How am I going to get out of this? "My…my Spider- sense told me!"
"Cool! You're Spider-sense is physic too! Awesome!" Josh said excitedly. That was close. I thought for sure I would be caught!
"Hey, I got to go, ok!" I said about to shoot my web.
"Will you tell me who you are?" Josh said grabbing my hand. He got closer to me and held my waist. I blushed as I looked into his eyes. I wanted to tell him, then he would fall in love me. But I couldn't.
" It's a secret," I whispered as I shot web in the air and pulled myself up and swung away.
The next day at school Josh was telling his story of his time with Spidey-Chick. I smiled as he excitedly told his crowd his story. Tina didn't seem as happy to here about it. While I was eating I had to use the bathroom. When I went in, I heard Tina come in with a group of friends.
"Spidey-Chick is a pain!" she said while putting on make-up. I came out to wash my hands.
"But, didn't she save your sister?" I mentioned.
"Butt out geek, I wasn't talking to you," she said rolling her eyes. "She embarrassed me, stealing my boyfriend, and put my father in jail! She is going to pay!"
"What do you mean?"
"I'm going to have to destroy her, somehow, even if I have to get powers of my own!"
This sounded like a threat to me. But I shouldn't worry about it, I mean, what could she do? After all I have lines to rehearse!
I crawled on top of the mall looking for crime. On top of the roof, I looked through the glass window looking down at a make-up shop. To my surprise, I saw Tina, shoplifting the latest make-up supply while she flirted with the cashier. You would think with all the money that she had, she wouldn't need to be shoplifting!
