Spider-Man: no way home

C 6

I sit in my room, reading, when my door bursts open.

Thankfully my parents weren't home when I arrived.

I glance up to see my mom running in with an envelope in her hands.

"It's here"

"My real acceptance letter to MIT?"

"What? Oh God no. Oxford"

I sigh closing my book.

"I never—"

"I did. Open it, open it"

My mom runs to me like an excited kid as she thrusts it into my hands.

I sigh setting my book down as I open it.

"What it say? What it say?"

I skim over it, seeing it says I got in.

"I didn't get in"

I give it back as I pick up my book  again.

"What? Really? I swear I put in a good word with the administrator. Wait hold on, you did get in! Gwen this is amazing!"

"I don't want to go"

"Gwendolyne Maxine Stacy"

"Mom I don't want to go okay!"

"Is this because of that spider-freak"

"Spider-Man. And you know him. It's Peter you know Peter. You have his whole life"

"Well clearly not. He is a murderer."

"He is not!"

"He is! And you know he is. I am sorry to say this Gwen but your best friend  Spider- Peter—whatever he is, is a murderer and we can't have you associated with him anymore. It will effect your future"

"He has saved people! He saved me countless times!"

"For all we know he was probably the reason you needed saved. Now you are going end of. Ooh I gotta get everything ready, you're gonna love it sweetheart"

My mom then rises as she walks out.

I let out an annoyed scream as I fall back into my bed putting a pillow over my face.

There is then a knock in my door.

I huff as I remove my pillow turning to the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me hunny, can I come in?"

"Sure dad"

I sit up, as my dad walks in, shutting the door behind him.

"Hey..."

"Hi"

"Look, about your mom"

"Oh yes the Oxford enthusiast"

"Gwen, you know she wants what is best for you"

Dad sits on my bed next fo me, as I  move aside.

"Yes. I understand I just... I don't need Oxford. Just because she went there and got to where she wanted to be doesn't mean I need to"
