The Next Day
Luna woke up, got dressed, and went to the medical wing, where Bruce was waiting for her.
"Hey, Luna, I was just preparing for the checkup." Bruce said. He checked her vitals, and they seemed normal. Luna and Peter went to school, getting dropped off by Happy.
"Good luck. You're going to have many people there to see the teen who saved Boston." Happy said.
"How often have you had to deal with this with Tony?" Luna asked.
"At least 2 times a week." Happy said, like it's nothing. Luna and Peter got out of the car, only to be swarmed by students and teachers, looking for answers.
"Was that really you?" Someone asked.
"When did you get your powers?" Someone else asked.
"How did you do that?"
"What other powers do you have?"
"Okay, yes it was really me, but that's all I'm gonna day." Luna said. The warning bell went off, and the teachers and students ran to get to class. Peter and Luna went to their lockers, and got their stuff out. They went to homeroom.
"Good morning class!" Mr. Harrison said, as Peter sat down next to Ned, and Luna sat with Michelle.
"Luna, was that you who saved Boston?" Michelle asked.
"Uh, yeah." Luna said.
"Dude, Luna was awesome on Saturday! That was so cool!" Luna heard Ned tell Peter.
"So, How did you do that?" Michelle asked.
"I don't know. I've never been able to do anything except make small shapes with a cup of water." Luna said. Michelle pushed her bottle of water towards Luna. Peter and Ned turned around to watch, and Mr. Harrison looked at them.
"Luna, is there something you would like to share with the class?" Me. Harrison asked. Michelle looked at Luna, with a look that said, "Show them!" So, Luna took the water bottle up to the front of the class.
"Alright, if you didn't believe it was really me who saved Boston, here's your proof!" Luna exclaimed. She took the cap off of the water bottle. She held out her hand, and made water come out of the bottle, and form into shapes, like a circle, a star, and a heart. The class was in awe. Especially Ned. Peter had already seen this, but he still thought it was cool.
Luna went back to her seat, and the class just stared at her, as Luna handed Michelle her water bottle back. Luna's face reddened. She wasn't used to this kind of attention.
The bell rang, after about 10 minutes of excited chatter, and Mr. Harrington telling Luna that what she did was really heroic. Luna went to her locker, because she forgot one of books, but her locker was jammed. She tried everything she could, but she couldn't pull it. Then, she noticed a water spill on the floor. She looked around to see if there was anyone to see what she was about to do. Nope. Luna held out her hands, and put the water in between the sides of the locker. She kicked the locker, just to be safe, and when she did her combination, it finally opened.
Luna got her books out, and she headed to class. She was late, and the only seat was next to Flash Thompson. Could his day be anymore stressful?
"Hey, Luna the Hideous, you were on the news. But I know your secret. It wasn't really you who saved Boston. It was someone who looks like you." Flash said.
"Shut up." Luna said.
"I don't get how someone would look like you." Flash continued, ignoring her question. "They would have to have a lot of bad luck to have a face like yours. You're the ugliest kid that I've ever seen."
"Flash, you're pushing it." Luna said.
"I don't care. You're a brat, who wants all the attention they can get." Flash said.
"You're the attention hogger." Luna said, under her breath.
"I'm sorry, what was that?" Flash asked, pretending not to hear the question.
"I said, you're the attention hogger!" Luna exclaimed, as she pushed Flash out of his chair.
"Oh, you've done it now!" Flash said, getting back up, as the whole class laughed at him.
"I sure have!" Luna thought. She gulped.
"You, me, 2:45, behind the school. If you tell anyone, you're both dead meat." Flash said, through gritted teeth. "And if you skip, I will make you regret it for the rest your life." Luna didn't want to know what that meant.
At lunch, Luna sat down, next to Peter and Ned, with Michelle across the table.
"Peter, I'm going to homework club after school. Can you tell Happy that I'll be using the portals to get home?" Luna lied, whispering he portal part.
"Sure." Peter smiled.
