Chapter 3: A Little Deal

Were we last left of, I had left Miss. Spider in an awkward situation. Let's see how that turned out.

Miss. Spider gulped and came into the room with glares looking at her. She really didn't know what her excuse would be for this, especially with Tarantula in the room. This was the first time her friends had ever looked at her like this, she didn't know how to take it. Why did he have to come anyway? Didn't matter anymore. What matter now, was what she was going to say.

She looked at the clock, 7:15 AM. Plenty of time, unfortunately. She then cleared her throat and said, "Well, I suppose I should begin with..."

"...how you even know this guy.", finished Centipede.

Miss. Spider defiantly understood why he was pissed. This kind of thing had never happened before, but it was easy to tell, that he would be the jealous type.

Miss. Spider nodded nervously and said, "Well, me and Tarantula were just friends,", she looked at Centipede, "ever since we were just little, but that's all we've been."

Centipede felt embarrassed and relieved at the same time.

"And I didn't even know Tarantula had also grown.", she added. She looked at the clock again. Drat! Still more time! And she knew what was coming next.

"Alright then,", said Mr. Grasshopper, "but I can't still help but wonder why he remained unmentioned."

Miss. Spider gulped again, she knew the answer to this, but she didn't want to scare James! Plus, Tarantula was right there...watching her. She'd have to make something up! And quickly! She then said, "I didn't really...think that this kind of thing...would ever really...happen. After all, I he was still little, you know."

God she hoped that would work!

It did, the insects simply nodded, it made sense.

Mrs. Ladybug then stood up again and, "Well, that's all we needed to know deary, you go back to sleep now." Miss. Spider then quickly nodded and headed back to her web. Then she looked at Tarantula and said, "And do come some time, other then now." He blushed again and said, "Of course ma'am." and closed the door behind himself.

The others then continued to what hey were doing, as if nothing had happened. But James had to wonder, why did Miss. Spider seem so scared?

And as Tarantula began to walk back to his apartment (don't ask) he began to wonder why that Centipede had seemed so jealous. Could it be that...nah. She wouldn't do that.

Not after their little deal anyway.
