Peter didn't mind the curious glances. The suspicions scowls or ugly snorts he received every day he went to school because of the bruises he achieved from days of being, well, Spiderman. He knew what he was doing was right, he knew he was doing what Uncle Ben wanted him to do.
It had been a few months since The Lizard had terrorized New York. Peter had instantly returned to school, acting as if he were just another student. Luckily, the only one who knew his little secret was Gwen Stacey, and he had made amends with her weeks before.
Peter stood in the hallway, grabbing a few books and stuffing them into his bag.
"Parker!" A voice rang out though the teenagers that crowded the hallway. It was Flash, his classmate that had become a close friend after Uncle Ben had died. The blonde hair boy jogged over to peter, rustling his hair playfully.
"Hey!" Peter returned with a joking grin, "What's up with you today? You actually seem," Peter trailed off, his quirky smile returning, "I don't know, happy?"
Flash only spun in a circle, "Dude, I saw The Avengers today!" the boyish teen almost squee'd, "They passed me while I was walking back from lunch block in this crazy helicopter airplane!" Flash motioned with his hands some sort of object but Peter just shook his head.
He could see why Flash was so giddy, the Avengers were made up of the coolest people in the world. "That's awesome dude, but I gotta go, have to pick up my aunt from the subway." Peter admitted, closing his locker and backing into the middle of the hallway which was growing less crowded by the minute.
"I got ya' bro, See you next week," Flash punched Peter on the shoulder before running to catch up with a group of girls that had passed them a few seconds earlier.
Peter turned, only to see Gwen in front of him, "Hey," she mumbled. Peter noticed her eyes filled with dread and she looked up to him.
"What's wrong?" Peter pressed, resting his arms on Gwenn's shoulders in a comforting gesture.
"I…" She started before bursting into a fit of sobs, "My mom's sending me away!" She cried out, her eye makeup smudged as she slumped into the tall brown haired boy.
"…What?" was all Peter could get out, Gwen couldn't leave, she was his best friend and he'd had a crush on her for countless years, she was the one who'd gotten him through Uncle Ben's murder, through was seemed like all of his worries.
Gwenn had seemed to calm down now and her words were clearer, "Childs' services said my mother was unfit to raise me, so they're sending me to family across the county!" She almost screamed as anger boiled up in her, "Why are they doing this Pete? I'm not a ked, I'm almost 18!" She was bumbling now, going off about how unfair it was.
Peter wasn't sure what to feel. He didn't have many friends, it really was just him, Aunt May, and Gwenn. Flash may be considered but they only talked in the hallways or by lockers sometimes. The next few days passed in a daze. He stayed with Gwen, helping her pack and comforting her for a few hours at least each day. At night he made his rounds as Spiderman before making it home to a sleepless Aunt May.
He had finally told her his secret a few weeks ago, of course she knew, but it was the thought that counts. She was incredibly worried, but she knew Peter had taken the responsibly because of her husband's killing.
This routine continued until the new kid arrived at school. His name was Wade.
...
Heyo, so this is the prologue of my new story The New Kid. (Title shows my AWESOME imagination, right? XD) So this is a Spideypool story but it is set in the Avengers universe kinda sorta.
Anywho.
This prologue will probably be edited because of my grammar in it, thanks for reading!
