It was once again morning and the alarm on Gwen's phone woke her up. She got up and got ready in the bathroom. She applied her make up and straightened her hair. She had decided that she wasn't going to tie it up today. After she was finished, she exited the bathroom.

"So now you're going to steal the bathroom from me, huh?" Chloe asked sarcastically as she stepped infront of her. "I didn't excpect nerds to have style, oh and you have a hideous taste in fashion by the way. I wouldn't be caught dead wearing that outfit."

Gwen just rolled her eyes and left the room. She wasn't going to let Chloe ruin her day. Being here at Oxford University had been Gwen's dream since she was little and she wasn't going to let anyone take that away from her, especially a jealous roommate.

...

It was around 7:30 when Peter arrived The News for his interview. He was a bit nervous. He really hoped they would hire him. He walked over to the Assistant Manager's desk. "Um, I'm here for my interview."

...

In the Labratory, Gwen was sitting at a desk looking through a telescope. Today she was studying Organisams.

"Hi Miss. Stacy." Professor Miles Warren greeted.

She smiled. "Huh?"

"What's your study for today?" He asked.

"Oh, um, I'm studying Organisams. I'm seeing how they work and if they depend on each other." She explained.

He seemed to be eyeing her up and down as she said this. "Well I know we depend on each other." He replied.

"What?" She asked confused.

"All of us, we depend on each other to live, to breath, to love." He had a look of lust in his eyes as he said Love. "That's human nature. Right?"

She nodded. "Yeah, that's right." She never saw him looking her up and down or the lustful look in his eyes and she was unaware of his sexual innuendo.

He continued. "I mean, what would be the point of life without these important things?"

She chuckled a little. "You're right."

He became lost in her eyes for a brief moment. He didn't know what it was about her but he became drawn to her the second he saw her. Not only was she very beautiful but she was also very intelligent and beyond her years. He just wanted to caress her face and hair but he knew he had to hold back on these feelings as he glanced at the other students. He also didn't want to scare her off either.

"Completely beautiful." He said almost in a trance as he looked into her eyes again.

She stared at him confused. "What?"

"The wonders of Science." He said quickly, snapping out of his daze. "Everything about it captivates me."

She nodded, smiling. "Yeah, it captivates me too."

He let out an axhausted sigh and sat next to her. "So tell me Miss. Stacy, what got you interested in Science in the first place?" He asked, curiously.

"Well," She chuckled lightly not knowing where to began. "I think I was in Kindergarden when I first became interested in science. The teacher taught us about the planets and explained different things. It was the very first day I learned about science and it was after school when my mom picked me up and I told her I wanted to go to the Library."

He was listening with full interest.

She chuckled. "It was completely crazy! I began to check out a lot of children's Science Books and as I learned more, I was obsessed. Completely obsessed. I remember telling my dad that I wanted a Chemistry Set for Christmas and a Telescope to observe and admire the planets and stars from afar.

I remember seeing my first Lunar Eclipse in early January of 2001. I remember watching it out on the Rooftop of my apartment through the telescope. In December of the same year, I watched my first Solor Eclipse and 16 days later I watched another Lunar Eclipse. It was amazing, spectacular and completely mind blowing." She finished.

"Wow, that reminds me of myself when I was a Kid. I was a little older than you when I became intrigued by science. It was September 27 of 1977 when I saw my first Lunar Eclipse. I was 11 years old. It was Penumbrail. I will never forget how happy I was that night." Miles explained, reminiscing. "On October 12 of that same year, I saw a Partial Solar Eclipse."

Gwen nodded. "Well I'm glad you got the chance to experience something so wonderful."

He nodded. "Yeah but I still feel like there's a wonderful experience out there or around here that I haven't experienced." He was looking into her eyes again. He couldn't help it! It also didn't help him any that they had so much in common. Don't get him wrong. He really did enjoy talking with her and getting to know her, but it was causing him to be more drawn to her.

Gwen really liked talking to Miles. She liked that she could talk to him about science, that's something a lot of people she knew or met found boring, aside from Peter. She also knew that Miles had to be somewhere in his mid- late forties? If he was 11 years old in 1977, that means he was born in 66' He was 48 years old now. She had no idea why she found figuring out his age so important. It was also amazing how like her, when he was a kid, he found science interesting too. She began to feel like Miles was someone she could look up too and maybe she could learn more interesting things about science from him.

"Um Gwen, if you'd like, maybe during break we could talk more about this, cause I need to check up on how the others are doing." He explained.

She nodded. "Sure, that would be fine."

During break, she and Miles were walking through the corridors as they talked.

"I was born in New York and lived there for the most part of my life. In the Summer of 1984, I got a Schoolership for Oxford University and after a few years of studying here; I decided to become a professor." He explained.

"Well I just got my Schoolership this year. There was an oral exam I had to take between me and this other kid who's fourteen but he's a freshmen in High School. I was an employee at Oscorp Industries and former intern of a mons-" She paused realizing she what she was about to call her boss. But how could she not? He had killed her father. Whether or not it was the Lizard doing all this, her father was still dead because of him.

"Man named Kurt Cunnors until he got really sick and um, someone else took his place. I went to Midtown High, and after graduating, I went to Empire State." She replied. "I was Valictorian of my Class Graduation by the way."

He chuckled. "I'm not really that surprised by how intelligent you are. They would be stupid to not make that choice."

"Yeah, well I was number 1 in Midtown." Gwen bragged.

What they didn't know was that a girl had seen them walking through the corridor together, when she left her dorm to get ready for Music class. It was known other than Chloe Wintergreen!

"Well I was number 1 in Midtown." She mimicked to herself.

She realized that the older man was one of the professors in Gwen's class. Being curious, Chloe sneakily followed them.

"Back in 84' I was the Valictorian of my class graduation." Miles replied. "I was also number 1."

"In Midtown?" Gwen asked.

"Just like you. You want to hear my speech?" He asked.

She nodded. "Sure."

"I know I wrote it down somewhere, maybe tomorrow? It's at home but I'll bring it for sure." He said.

"Yeah, I'll bring mine too." She replied.

"What's this?" Chloe asked herself deviously. "Is Gwen falling for this professor guy?" She began to take pictures of them with her phone, being sneaky of course.

...

After class, Gwen entered her dorm and Chloe was on her bed, looking at something on her phone, smirking. "Going on another date with Peter?" She asked sarcastically.

Gwen glared at her. "What do you care?"

"Nothing- nothing." Chloe replied quickly, smiling. "It's just, you really know how to get around, don't you?"

Gwen's eyes widened. As if she couldn't get anymore annoyed by Chloe, now she was saying unappropriate things as well. "Excuse me?" Her tone was daring her to say that again.

Chloe just giggled.

"Are you implying that I'm some loose and husky girl?" Gwen demanded.

Chloe smiled. "It sure looked that way to me." She showed her the pictures she took on her phone.

"You were stalking me?" Gwen asked furiously.

"I was getting ready for Music Class and hey, don't be mad at me! It's not my fault you and that Professor guy happened to be walking by." Chloe chuckled. "You really love to show off don't you? Wow, number 1 at Midtown High and Valictorian. That's impresive, for a nerd! You sure have a lot in common though, you should dump that too hot as hell for you, Peter Parker, let me date him and you hook up with Professor guy."

Gwen's hands were clenched in a fist. All she wanted to do right now was slap Chloe across the face as hard as she could. "What I do with my life is none of your buisness, it's mine! Mine! and Peter would never be interested in a filthy bitch like you so don't even think about it!" She stepped out of the dorm and slammed the door as hard as she could.

She began to walk off in a fast pace as she got out her Cell Phone to call Peter. "Hi Peter, I'm finished with my class for the day and um, I just want you to swing over as soon as you can." She was now outside of the building.

Peter sighed. "I'm sorry Gwen, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Gwen froze hearing this and her heart began to pound. She really didn't want to be here right now and she wanted to know if his interview went well. "What? Why?"

"Look up and you'll find out." He replied.

"Wait, what?"

It didn't sound like he was talking to her on his phone anymore, it sounded like he was here. She looked up and saw Peter on top of the building. "Peter?"

He swooped down, lifted her off the ground and swung off. Once a familiar building came in to view, Peter swung over to the roof of that building and stood up with his hands around Gwen's waist. "Peter, where are we?" She asked out of breath. "Why did you stop?"

"Gwen, where does it look like we are?" He asked.

She gave him a confused look, wondering why he'd ask a question like that. "A building."

"Not just any building, Gwen. Look!" He happily pointed to a sign that was on the building and she turned her head to see what he was pointing at. The sign read The News.

He turned his attention back on her, breathing with excitment. "I got the job!"

She smiled. "See? I told you! I knew it! I knew they would accept you! This is amazing Peter!" She gave him a big congratulations hug and a quick kiss.

He just smiled at her saying nothing. He looked like he was expecting something and Gwen realized what it was when he kept staring at her with his big brown doe eyes. "You really are something you know? you're such a bug boy." She joked.

He leaned in with his eyes closed, she did the same and they began to make out.

Peter's stomach started growling and they pulled apart. "Uh Gwen, I'm getting kind of hungry. We should really get something to eat."

Gwen chuckled. "You sure know how to ruin a romantic moment, don't you? Bug boy."

"It's just my stomach, you know? You really shouldn't blame me. Blame my stomach." He replied, smiling.

She sighed. "Fine, where to?"

He shrugged. "I don't know, I'm in the mood for Burger King."

"Then Burger King it is."

He glanced down at some people walking on the sidewalk below. "Man, it feels like we're watching ants." He waited for them to cross the street, then used his web shooter on a pole to swing down from the building.

...

At Burger King, Peter and Gwen were enjoying their meal. Peter had ordered an Ultimate Bacon Burger, a side of Onion Rings and a Coca Cola. Gwen had ordered Chicken Caesar Salad, some Hashbrowns and a Caramel Frappe.'

"So how was your day?" He asked.

"Oh it was great." She replied, trying not to sound upset or annoyed as she thought about what Chloe said to her.

"And how's your roommate?" He asked.

"Awful. Completely awful. She can't stand me and it's because she thinks I stole her friends but she wouldn't have lost them as friends if she wasn't so selfish." Gwen shook her head as she looked down for awhile. "And now she wants to make my stay there completely miserable. So, um, I had a conversation with one of my professors, Miles Warren and he and my work was pretty much the only good part about my day.

Chloe saw us walking in the halls and when I went back to our dorm, she started saying very unappropriate things to me. She told me that I really know how to 'get around' and she told me that I should dump you so I can hook up with Miles and she could have you." Gwen explained.

"Gwen, that will never happen. I would never hook up with a girl like her." Peter assured her.

She chuckled. "I know. That's what I told her."

"It seems to me that Chloe's just jealous of you because you're just awesome and intelligent in many ways that she will never be and its because of you that even her own friends have realized that and how she will always be awful." He explained, seriously.

Chloe was inside the restaurant at a booth close by to theirs, listening in on their conversation. She had followed them here. She had left her dorm a few minutes after Gwen left and Chloe had planned on going to her favorote fancy restuarant and that was when she heard Peter and Gwen's voices. She stopped what she was doing and hid behind the wall of the building. She figured they were inside and that's when she heard them talking about going to Burger King.

Now here she was, with sun glasses on and a menu in front of her face. She frowned as Peter suggested that she was just jealous of Gwen. Jealous of that nerd? As if. If Peter had seen Chloe, he wouldn't have said that. She realized he didn't really know her. He only saw her 2 days ago on Gwen's first day but that wasn't much. There had to be some way for her to get close to him, some way.

It was time to come up with a plan and put it into action.
