Guys I am so sorry! I just started off at University and it just needed some time getting use to it. Anyway, thank you all for your reviews! I really appreciate them! And if you have any idea for the story feel free to review or PM me and I decided for the first time to name my chapters so since Annabelle likes to sing, the chapter titles will be song lyrics. Enjoy!
P.S. I do not own Spider-Man or the song
Chapter 4: I See Sparks Fly
"Drop everything now, meet me in the pouring rain, kiss me on the sidewalk, take away the pain" my alarm on my phone went off, waking me up from a deep sleep. I let out a groan as I turned my alarm off.
Great! Another day the hell hole…wish I could just go home.
"Annabelle!" Ashley called as she opened my bedroom door. I saw her red hair shine as she morning sun rays hit her hair.
"Hey, sweetheart," she said in her 'motherly' tone which made me want to vomit on my bed sheets. "Time for school. Last day before the weakened" she said with a smile.
"Wish it was the last day of the year" I said as I lifted the covers over my head and hid there until she let out a sigh and closed the door behind her.
I then got out of bed, got dress and went to my bathroom to get ready. I then walked over into the kitchen where Ashley and my father were sitting at the dining room table, shipping coffee and eating toast.
I walked into the kitchen, got myself a bowl and my favorite cereal and poured it in the bowl, along with some milk. I then poured myself a cup of coffee and sat across from Ashley, beside my dad and I ate in silence.
"So, Steven," Ashley said as she set down her piece of toast with jam on it. My father put down his morning paper, reviling his uniform he was wearing, and looked at my step-mother with concern on his face.
"What's with this…spandex guy I've been hearing about"
"Spider-Man," I piped up. My parents stared at me wondering how I knew of him. "Uh…kids at school were talking about him" I said and then stuffed my face with cereal.
"Uh," my father looked away from me and back to my step-mom. "He's some sort of…hero or whatever they call him. Tried to save the last Police Chief from the thing that killed him. Now he just…catching crooks and saving kids from oncoming cars. Just some stuff we can't get to or see"
My step-mom nodded and took a ship of her coffee.
"So he's a hero?" I asked my dad.
"Yes. I'd say anybody who can do that is a real hero"
I nodded and looked that the clock on the wall behind my step-mom.
"Crap!" I said as I grabbed my dishes and ran to the sink to throw them in. "I'm late!"
I then ran towards the front door and put my shoes on.
"Want a ride?!" Ashley asked.
"No, I'll just walk. See ya!" I called as I slammed the door behind me and ran to the elevator.
I ran threw the front doors of the school and sprinted down the hallway and hurried my way to English. I then ran around the corner, just turning into the English hallway until I ran into someone and the papers in our hands flew in the air, making them scatter all over the hallway.
"Oh my god!" was the first thing that came out of my mouth. "I am so sorry!" I said as I helped the blonde girl in front of me pick up her papers.
She laughed as I looked like a fool trying to pick up her papers.
"No, no. It's ok. It happens," she said as I picked up all of them and stared into her blue eyes as I passed them to her. "Hey, your new here aren't you?" she asked as she took the papers from me. I nodded.
"Yeah…you're in my science class. You're partners with Peter, right?" I nodded, again. "What's your name again?"
"Annabelle. Annabelle Jamison," I said as I extended my hand for a shake. She stared at me with shock on her face. "Did I do something?" I asked.
"No…um…its just…you have the same last name as the new police chief"
"Yeah that's my dad"
"Oh…um," she let out a laugh.
"Where are my manners," she grabbed my hand and shook it. "Hi, I'm Gwen Stacy"
I smiled at her.
"Hi Gwen. I'd love to chat but I'm late for English"
"Oh, I'm late for Physics so no big deal. See you in Biology" she said as she walked pass me.
'What was with that?' I asked myself. 'Crap! English!' popped into my head and I bolted down the hallway and opened the door where Mr. Adams was doing his lecture. He stopped and glared at me as I slowly closed the door behind me.
"Miss Jamison," he said in an angry tone. "I hope this won't be a continuous event everyday?"
"It won't, Mr. Adams. I'm sorry"
"Well…better late then never I suppose. Take your set," he said gesturing to my seat beside Peter. I nodded and walked down my aisle. "We were just discussing why it took so long for Hamlet to avenge his father's death"
I plopped down into my seat and took out my notebook as I started writing down my notes.
Our teacher gave us an assignment at the beginning of the class to do with our partners. Since we were learning about genetics, we had to do an assignment on a 'baby'. Our partner and I would have a 'baby' and we had to write about which features our child would get from us and, of course, the father of my 'child' was Peter.
After the teacher went over the assignment, it was time to start working.
"So," Peter started off. "You a…natural brunette?" I laughed.
"Yes"
"Perfect! Our child shall have brunette hair" he said as he wrote the feature down. I laughed as he did.
"So," I said. "I'm going to take a wild guess that you're good at science" He let out a chuckle.
"Not just good at it. I love it"
"Lucky you. I suck at science"
"Well I suck at playing an instrument and singing" I laughed.
"Maybe I can teach you some tricks…as long as you teach me how to understand," I looked down at my notebook, tried pronouncing the word but just gave up. "What ever it is in here"
"It's a deal" he said as he brought up his hand for a shake, to close the deal. I took his hand and shook it.
"A deal it is then" I said as I smiled at him.
"So," he started off. "You doing anything tomorrow?" I shook my head.
"How about we hang out and work on our 'baby' together" I nodded.
"Sure," I said. "Sounds like a great idea"
"Your place then?"
"Actually…my place sucks. How about we just go out and work on it together"
"Alright, cool sounds good. I'll pick you up at 10?" I nodded.
"10 sounds great"
I sat in the cafeteria eating my sandwich, waiting for Stevie, when she set down her stuff and sat in front of me with a big smile on her face.
"What's…going on?" I asked as I set down my sandwich.
"You know how you told me you were a great dancer"
"Well not a great dance but I do love to dance"
"Well…you free tomorrow night?"
"Yeah just during the night, why?"
"There's this club that a good friend of mine told me about and I'm taking you"
"But-"
"No buts! I want to see you dance and I want to show you New York. It's not like what it is in the movies at all. Plus it'll be fun. You can get dressed up, dance and meet some cute guys"
"Will it be safe?"
"Yeah! My friends do it all the time"
"And…you'll be by my side all night?"
"Of course!" I gave her a smile.
"Ok! I'll do it!" Stevie gave me a big smile as she started nibbling on her chips.
I couldn't wait till night fall. At 9:30, I climbed up to the roof, with my guitar, sat on the ledge, facing in, and started playing as I waited for Spider-Man. I normally liked to play the guitar with my eyes closed. I mean, I know it's not normal, but it's like when I played I could just feel the beat better, the cords where just there like I didn't have to see them to play.
The way you move is like a full-on rainstorm,
And I'm a house of cards,
You're the kind of reckless that should,
Send me running but,
I kinda know that I won't get far,
And you stood there in front of me,
Just close enough to touch,
Close enough to hope you couldn't see what I was thinking of,
Drop everything now,
Meet me in the pouring rain,
Kiss me on the sidewalk,
Take away the pain,
Cause I see sparks fly,
Whenever you smile,
Get me with those green eyes baby,
As the lights go down,
Give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around,
Cause I see sparks fly,
Whenever you smile-
I stopped when I started hearing clapping. I popped my eyes open and saw Spider-Man standing a couple feet away from me clapping his hands.
"Woohoo!" He yelled as I felt my cheeks warm up. I stood up, set my guitar down, and stared bowing.
"Thank you, thank you very much" I said as I laughed.
"That was really good" he said as he walked up to me.
"It was nothing. I mean, I'm no Taylor Swift"
"No…you're better," I felt the heat rush to my cheeks again. "I'm glad you came"
"Well," I said gesturing to the area around us. "I was asked to come. So…what are we doing"
"Just talking"
"Just talking…you're kidding…right?"
"Hey, I like to know who the person is before we become 'buddies'"
"We're buddies now?" I asked as I crossed my arms over my chest.
"Not until we know a little each other" I let out a sigh.
"Fine," I said as I plopped myself down on the ledge. Spider-Man walked over and sat beside me.
"Just out of curiosity?" I asked as he turned his head to look at me. "If I were to say…lean back and fall over the edge to my death…you'd catch me right?" he let out a chuckle.
"Of course"
"Ok…good," I said with a nod. "So do we start this?" I swear, I could see him smiling threw that mask.
"I'll go first. Where you from?"
"Roseboro, North Carolina"
"Now your turn to ask"
"Um…ok…when did," I started gesturing to the suit. "Th…This happen?"
"About a year ago"
"So you're like a genetically mutated-"
"Hey! My turn now"
"Ah so were taking turns now?"
"Have any siblings"
"Yes a sister named Ariel. I know you're not going to tell me your exact age but…are you relatively around my age?"
"Yes. Really close," I nodded. "So…who was that jerk boyfriend of yours on the phone?"
"Ex-boyfriend…and that was Noah"
"How long-"
"My turn! Is it…fun…swinging around city?"
"Totally"
"Man…I wish I could that. Just…escape in my own world. Not having to worry about my world around me"
"What's wrong with your world"
"Everything! My…manipulating step-mom, my dad and sister blinded by her 'sweetness', my ex-boyfriend that took a hammer and shattered my heart into a million pieces and…my mom" I looked away, not wanting Spider-Man to see my cry.
"Hey," he grabbed my face and made me look into his yellow glassy eyes. "It'll be ok,"
We looked at each other in silence. Not wanting this moment to end. That's when the sirens went off in the distance. Spider-Man let out a sigh as he slowly pushed himself off the ledge. I could tell he didn't want to leave me.
"I guess I'm off to save the day" he said staring at me.
"Go ahead, Spider-Boy"
"Same time tomorrow?"
"Actually," I said as I pushed myself off the ledge, had my hands in my pockets, and walked up to him. Stopping right in front of him. "Do you mind if you meet me here around…11:30?"
"Why so late? I thought you said a new girl like you wouldn't be doing anything?"
"I did…until I was invited to go out…with a new friend. My curfew is until midnight but I know if I walk in at exactly midnight my dad, the chief of police, will flip and probably throw me in and throw away the key" he let out a chuckle.
"Alright. See you here at 11:30"
"It's a date" I said with a laugh.
Spider-Man then shot a web out of his wrist and then swung away as I watched in awe. I think I might be falling for someone.
