He appeared out of nowhere.

Everybody was going home, last period of the day had just ended. I was walking down the stairs so I saw everything from above. There was this girl, Anna something, a Sophomore. She was talking with her friend, she stepped off the sidewalk to cross the road. She was not paying attention, and so found herself in front of one of the school buses. The driver saw her and tried to stop but it was too late.

Then Parker jumped out of nowhere and pushed her out of the way.

I'm pretty sure he wasn't even close to the girl. I would have seen him otherwise. In any case, he saved her. After that, he helped her back on her feet then just left like nothing had happened.

Weirdo.

I can't believe I even consider the idea that Parker might be Spider-man. He's so dumb it's actually unbelievable. The girl he saved a couple of weeks ago tried to ask him out for Valentine's day today during lunch, but he didn't even realize it. She asked if he was up to something tonight and he said he'd probably end up eating take out with his aunt. When she told him she'd like to spend time with him to thank him for saving her the other day, he said something like 'Oh you don't have to really, it was nothing' and then he sat down at our table like nothing. Ned had to tell him that she was probably asking him out because it was Valentine's day and everything, and he wouldn't believe him! I had to confirm it to him before it finally dawned on him how dumb he was.

Long story short, I'm pretty sure he did end up eating take out with his aunt tonight, and he'll probably end up dying alone too because he is so fucking blind he can't even see when someone actually likes him.

I am not frustrated.

Today's Sunday, I went to Central Park for a little while with my mom. Weirdly enough, I saw Leeds and Parker there at some point. Fast forward an hour or two, and suddenly police sirens are erupting everywhere near East 72nd Street playground, turns out a bank is being robbed somewhere. We walked right into Ned a couple of minutes later, all alone. When I asked him where Parker was, he told me he was 'around here somewhere' which was suspicious if you ask me, coming from one of two Siamese brothers who are never seen without one another at school. Sadly we had to leave before he came back, but weird timing right?

Yesterday, there was a huge fight in Brooklyn when a crazy ass huge weirdo tried to steal a truck full of Oscorp stuff. I think he calls himself the Rhino or something. Anyway, it was live on the internet and everything, everyone got to see Spider-man kicking his butt. It took him a while though, and he got stomped pretty hard at some point.

Weird coincidence though, this morning Parker was limping from his left leg, which, of course, was the exact same leg Spider-man got run on by the Rhino yesterday. When I asked him why, he looked at me like a panicked idiot for a full minute before mumbling that he fell in the stairs at home.

Right.

Tony fucking Stark was spotted in his not at all inconspicuous red car in front of Midtown today. And of course, who was he seen talking to? Yup, you guessed right, your Stupid Neighborhood Spider-Parker. Even Flash was at a loss of words. Peter was as red as a beet when he realized the Decathlon team had seen him talking to Stark. He tried to explain it was nothing but internship stuff, but the others were so excited they didn't even listen to him. Ned could barely contain himself, poor dude.

It's not that I don't like Tony Stark but man, he pisses me off for some reason. I know, he's mostly a good guy now, and I kind of like that whole self sustainable energy source he's got going on, but I still really feel like he's the biggest douche I've ever seen.

Peter seems to look up to him though.

Field trip to the American Museum of Natural History. Pretty awesome right?

Parker fell asleep in the bus going there and missed the whole thing.

Minus 5%, but I should probably get back to 0% because seriously dude?

I can't believe him.

The exhibition about mommies was neat though.

I really don't know what happened today. It was Parker's 16th birthday. I knew he was going to be at that little cafe with Ned this afternoon – don't ask me how, please – so I went. I kind of wanted to wish him a happy birthday, yeah, sue me.

Anyway.

I got there, and here they are, talking to each other like they always are, which is in a completely oblivious to everything around them kind of way. I walk to them and can't help but overhear what they're talking about because they're not really quiet. I was not trying to eavesdrop or anything, but yeah. I hear Peter talk about his suit and how it's getting upgraded or something.

Who upgrades his suit? What kind of suit needs an upgrade? Why would he need a freaking suit anyway?

I mean… And then I step in and they look at me like I'm the devil or something, and then they're like "Oh hi MJ, what's up, yeah, we were talking about Halloween just now." and I mean like, what the fuck right?

Talking about Halloween in August, yeah.

K, bbye weirdos.

I almost forgot to wish him his birthday – not that he deserves it anyway, he's so obviously lying all the time he's just rude. But then I came back and said it and he looked at me with his stupid face like I'd just kicked a puppy and offered him the best gift ever at the same time. He's so fucking weird I can't even.

Anyway, I don't know at what percentage we are right now, just like, either 0.5% or 99% really.

There was a huge fire last night not so far from where I live. Spider-man was spotted there helping the firefighters get everyone out of the building. This morning Parker smelled like burnt cake.

Probably just a coincidence though, he doesn't strike me as a genius in the kitchen.

Must have burnt his cereals this morning or something.

When I told him he smelled like the Human Torch's underwear, he blushed so hard it was actually super funny.

Isn't Spider-man supposed to have like, inhuman reflexes? He's super fast and everything, right? 'Cause Parker is not at all. In gym today I caught him looking at me. When our eyes met he opened his mouth like a fucking fish out of the water and then BOOM got hit in the face by a basketball stupid Eugene had thrown at him.

So much for inhuman reflexes right?

There's always a part of me who wonders if he's being dumb on purpose so that nobody can actually figure out he is Spider-man… Okay, scratch that, let's make it 55% actually.

Today was Betty's birthday. We had prepared a little surprise for her during Decathlon Practice. It was meant to b E, right? I'm pretty sure I made it perfectly clear to everyone this morning when I told them about it. But stupid Peter Parker cannot keep a freaking secret it seems. He told her about it during lunch time, the idiot! He said "Hey, happy birthday Betty, it's gonna be so much fun this afternoon at Decathlon Practice!" … how can you expect someone like HIM to be Spider-man and keep it a secret if he can't even keep his fucking mouth shut for one day?!

I just. I can't. I'm done with this idiot.

I don't know what's up with Parker these days. Every time I see him he's either doing something incredibly stupid or he's sleeping. He sleeps everywhere and anywhere, in classes, outside, during lunch, and when he doesn't, he is behaving like an idiot, tripping on his own feet and dropping things and stammering like he has a hot potato in his mouth or something. I really don't know what's going on.

I've been meeting his eyes more and more often too. That's weird. He never paid much attention to me before.

Is he suspecting me suspecting him?

Is he doing all this dumb stuff to prove me wrong when I'm actually right?

Today I heard something. I'm just gonna transcribe it right there because it kind of speaks for itself. Parker was on the phone outside the cafeteria. This is what I heard (and I just happened to walk close by, really, I wasn't even trying to hear what he was saying):

"Happy hey, hi, yes, it's nice to hear from y– He wants me there? But like, wh– OK right I get it yeah, does he want me in the suit or– what the h– yeah yeah, language sorry– a Christmas hat?! You're shitting me right?– yeah yeah, sorry… Alright well I guess I'll be there then, what time?… OK then, see ya tonight um– yeah yeah, alright, bye Happy."

So, either he is working as a part time Santa Claus in some mall – which is dumb –, either Susan Yang is right and he is a male escort – which is even dumber really. Those are my hypothesis, or you know, last one, he is Spider-man.

As I'm writing these lines, the picture is starting to go viral. Spider-man spotted swinging across Manhattan wearing a freaking Santa's hat.

Is this even real?

January 1st, 2018

I'm really not in the whole 'new year new me' kind of stuff, but I'm really starting to wonder if all of this is a good idea or not. If Parker really is Spider-man, maybe he has a good reason to keep it a secret. Maybe he is, and maybe it's none of my business. Maybe I just need to let it go, and focus on more important stuff. Like midterms, or college applications. Ugh, I can't wait for High School to be finally over, like pretty much everyone ever in the entire history of the human race.

I think I did pretty good. Managed to not pay that much attention to Parker and his spider-whereabouts for two whole months. That's great. Now that midterms are over though, school's boring again, so I really can't blame myself if I dive right back into it.

Remember how Peter fell asleep in pretty much every single class since the beginning of the school year? Yeah, he still managed to ace his midterms. I knew he was smart, but I never would've guessed he could pull that one off.

He's still behaving like an idiot most of the times I see him, but I'm pretty sure he's doing that on purpose now. Sometimes I wonder if I should just confront him about it. 60% is a high probability, isn't it? What could go wrong anyway? I go up to him and tell him casually "So yeah, are you Spider-man or what?" and then wait and see what he says?

If he is he'll panic and deny it faster than Darth Vader flew out of the Death Star in a New Hope.

If he is not… he'll probably just laugh and I'll just look suspiciously at him and that'll be it. Or he'll think I'm completely stupid.

Yeah, we can't have that, can we.

I really don't have the guts anyway.

Today in gym I saw him. Like, saw him really, with his shirt off. I didn't mean to, and like I told him afterwards I'm mostly scarred for life now, but yeah. I'm pretty sure no 16 year-old has ever had a body like that. So either he spends his days working out because he is a male escort – Susan is adamant about it – or you know, he got buffed like that as a masked vigilante spending his late afternoon and nights fighting bad guys and helping people out.

I wonder if Susan has a notebook where she writes every little piece of proof she gets that Peter is a male escort. Probably not.

Something happened today, it happened accidentally, but it gave me an idea. During lunchtime, I was walking to our table where the two losers were already sitting. I usually make my way to my seat without walking pass them, but I don't know why today I did. I accidentally bumped Parker's opened bottle of water with my backpack. It should have fallen on the floor and spilled everywhere, but it didn't. Peter caught it right as it was tipping over the edge of the table, took a quick sip and put the cap back on, before setting it back on the table again. In a couple of seconds. I barely even got time to register what had just happened. Then I met his gaze, and he looked at me with widening eyes, but I just feign disdain like I usually do, and moved on to my seat. I could barely breath and my heart was going crazy in my chest. I pretended to ignore them, but I noticed they were whispering to each other and saw Ned looking over at me a couple of times.

All this gave me an idea. To prove that Parker is – or isn't – Spider-man, I need to think like a proper scientist and just test stuff. Gather tangible proof of what he's capable of, and see if it coincides or not with him being what who I think he is.

Time to test my theories. First things first, what are Spider-man's known aptitudes?

* he can crawl on walls

* he has super strength

* he has super reflexes

* he is super smart (you know, he created his own webs and stuff)

That's pretty much it. It is not going to be easy to test his ability to crawl on freaking walls, and I already know how smart that dumb ass is, so that leaves us with the other two. Two variables, one test subject.

Let the trial begin.

March 21st, 2018

DAY 1

Try 1: Catch!

All day I threw stuff at him – pencil case, books, apple, bottle of water etc. The test subject caught them all, even that one time he was sleeping in Chemistry class and I threw him a test tube. I'm glad he did catch it otherwise I would probably have ended up in detention. Yes, that was not really thought through but whatever.

Conclusion: The test subject has indeed good reflexes. Now we have to determine if they are inhuman reflexes or not. Will try throwing stuff at him without yelling 'catch' next time.

March 28th, 2018

DAY 2

We will leave a certain amount of time between two trials so that the test subject doesn't get suspicious. A six to seven day interval should do it.

Try 2: 100lbs? More like 300 am I right

We're doing the Captain America fitness challenge again in gym, so that's handy. I switched the test subject's weights from 100lbs to 300 and waited for him to lift them. He got on the bench and started lifting, I'm almost sure I saw it move, and then Ned stopped him and they had a very quiet talk, then they took off the weights back to a 100lbs. So that's kind of a fail, but not really.

Conclusion: The test subject was about to lift the weights but was stopped by his sidekick, very suspicious in my opinion.

April 4th, 2018

DAY 3

Try 3: Door in the face

The plan was, I wait behind the door of the cafeteria, the one that opens both ways, and when he's about to go out, I kick it and he gets it right into the face – I know, it would probably break his nose if it hits him, MJ you're so mean, blah blah. Doesn't matter because I completely failed my experiment – and yet it did prove something else; that's the beauty of science, really.

So I was behind the door, and so was he, but we pushed at the same time, and he obviously was way stronger than me because it propelled me back and I fell right on my butt. Man, I was so pissed, you should have seen his face he was terrified. He helped me back on my feet and apologized 4562 times before I told I would kick his ass if he didn't stop and so he did.

Conclusion: The test subject is indeed strong, his stupid muscles and abs aren't fake.

April 10th, 2018

DAY 4

Try 4: There's a snake in my boot locker

So I managed during lunchtime to pick the test subject's locker and placed inside one of these toy snake in a can for it to fall on the ground when he opens his locker and startle him when he picks it up. It worked perfectly. Except it was not on the test subject. Stupid Ned came to pick up something for him and got pranked instead.

No further comment your Honor.

April 11th, 2018

DAY 5

Try 5: Break it Pete

I changed his locker's combination and then watched as he tried to open it. He tortured himself with frustrating growls for a solid two-minute, and then like expected, he forced it open. That's not an easy thing to do – I know it, I tried multiple times, don't ask why. Anyway, he caught me looking at him a second later. He waved at me like an idiot and I didn't know what to do so I just made fun of him for forgetting his locker's combination. That was dumb.

Conclusion: We're gonna need a bigger boat. Sorry, I'm tired and watching Jaws for some reason. The real conclusion is, the test subject is strong, he's buffed, he annoys me like no one else can. I think this study is affecting my mental health, I should probably stop.

April 18th, 2018

DAY 6

Try 6: Scaredy Spider

New plan: let's just try to scare the test subject and see how he reacts. I snuck up on him at least five times today. If he doesn't suspect anything now then he's pretty dumb. The first two times he didn't even flinch, the idiot, and looked at me with his big brown eyes like he had no idea what I was trying to do. After these two times, I'm pretty sure he then pretended to be startled. He played along. Ugh, I can't believe how annoyingly nice he is. Or you know, how manipulative he is. Do you think I wouldn't figure it out? Do you think I'm dumb enough not to see that you're clearly hiding something?

It doesn't matter anyway, because Spring break is starting in a couple of days and I can't wait to get away from everything. I'm just tired. I need a break from all this.

April 29th, 2018

So I was kind of angry last time, and now I think I know why. If he is indeed Spider-man, then I'm pretty sad that he would not tell me. Which is dumb because we're barely even friends. I guess I've been watching him for too long now. I feel like I know him enough for him to trust me, but that's just stupid because I might trust him but does he trust me? He doesn't even know me. That's sad, really. We've been in the same classes for three years now, and he barely even knows me.

That's just really, really sad.

What's even gonna happen when our Senior year is over? I should really just stop everything and move on this stupid crush.

There, I said it.

I'm sorry to report that the trial is compromised because of a massive conflict of interests. Over.

May 31st, 2018

He's gone.

He disappeared yesterday, when we were on the bus on our way to the Museum of Modern Art.

When the flying donuts alien ship thingy was flying over Greenwich village.

I got distracted, I looked out the window and saw it, and before I realized what was going on Peter had disappeared again.

And then there was this awful, shaky footage of Spider-man clinging to the spaceship and Iron Man flying around it, and honestly I've never felt sicker in my entire life.

When I first saw it last night, I still had a teeny tiny bit of hope left. That hope died this morning. Peter is nowhere to be seen.

And now I'm sitting on my own at lunch, and I'm pretty sure I'm having a panic attack right now. I can barely breath, my stomach hurts so much. I saw Ned earlier, he looked sick too. Nobody else seems to have noticed Peter's absence. All they can talk about is what about yesterday in Manhattan and in Edinburgh. While a handful of dumb asses are excited about it, pretty much everyone else is mostly scared.

Teachers are trying to keep things going like nothing out of the ordinary happened yesterday, but they're not fooling anyone. It's not as if there is a threat of an imminent alien invasion or something. God it feels like six years ago.

It's lunchtime but the principal invited everyone to come and watch the marching band rehearse before the big match Saturday. I didn't want to go, so here I am, all alone in the cafeteria. The sudden silence feels nice. I don't even know what sport they're playing.

I don't know, and I don't care.

All I want to know is if he's safe.

Please, let him be s

Please leave a comment to tell me what you think.

I know it's a bit self-important of me but DAMN I am very proud of that ending and I absolutely love it.

There. Hope you had fun reading, I sure as hell had fun writing!
