Chapter two: Spider Research
Alyn's POV:
I stood in the school library, looking at the map for where insect books would be. You're probably wondering why I'm not in class. Well, I finished high school when I was 15 years old so I could work more on super hero-ing and my parents would think I'm somewhere when I have a mission between 6 am to 6 pm. I finally find the section when the said books where and walked there. In my head, I ran there and found the perfect insect book that told me everything I need to know about spiders.
But no, I have to glare and push up my glasses and walk in even steps. I have to be a snotty nerd to people in school so people won't even bother to think I'm a superhero. Especially Wonder Wolf at that. I get there and began searching. Wait, spiders are an eight-legged predatory arachnid in the class Arachnida. Would they even be in the insect section?
"What are you looking for?"
I jump and quickly turn to see a male with shaggy brown hair and a huge scratch across his cheek leaning against the bookcase with ease. I raise my eyebrow and turn back to the book while wearing a blank expression. But in my head, I'm freaking out. Guys never talk to me. Well, no one at school talk to me.
"A book on spiders."
I can tell he's stunned.
"For a project?" He asked as I hear him push himself off the bookcase.
No, you dumb butt! Be the person who looks past the glasses. "No, I just... Really like spiders."
I look down some as I shrug and turn. I noticed his shadow over me and I look up and he's looking back down at me.
He looks both ways before asking " Is it because of the new hero Spider-Man."
Yes. "He wishes." I scoff before remembering that the library must have computers. I walk over to the nearest open computer and log into it. I look back and the guy is gone.
After researching on spiders and then figuring out the male was Peter Parker, I get ready to head home but then my pager goes off and I knew what it meant. The library is empty, there's no cameras and it's on the 2nd floor.
I toss my bag and my school clothes under the desk in an office which the librarian said was mine. I put on my ears and tail and the gel that turns parts of my hair grey and leave my glasses on the desk.
I jump out of the window, using the windowsill to push of and I landed off school grounds on the ground making dust fly up and cover the air around me.
I feel a rough blow to the back of the head and I stumble forward and bump into someone who landed in front of me. I notice the texture on his shirt and I know who it is.
"Damn, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hit you."
I feel his hand on the back of my head over my hand, checking for a bump.
Just my luck. Right when I'm in a rush, I have to get kicked in the head by Spider-Man and then have him be nice to me and check it. I move away from him and run down the street away from him. I stumble but used that to make me flip and volt off of it and land on a rooftop. I run across and a gust of wind goes by me as I jump down from the roof. Spider-Man lands beside me.
"Geez, stalking me spidey?" I laugh and then someone falls and lands on Spider-Man. Before I could even think, there was smoke everywhere and I'm coughing and when I open my eyes,
I'm alone.
