I trudge into the hallway, my bag slung over my shoulder. I go to my locker and slowly open it, noticing the tall figure standing beside me.
"Hey Daniel," I say dejectedly.
"What happened?" he asks worriedly.
"Who said something happened, bestie?" I say with a chuckle, hoping to change the topic.
"No one said anything... that's how I know something happened," he says with a sad smile.
"We got videos and pictures, enough to take her down," I reply simply.
"Something else happened. I can sense it," he says.
"What? With your Spidey Sense?" I say with a giggle.
"Oh shut up," he says, lightly swatting my arm as we walk to class.
I feel laughter bubble up in me. Genuine laughter. I smile widely, letting the laughs out of my throat.
"What's so funny?" Jack asks, walking next to us.
"We're joking about Daniel's Spidey Sense," I reply, the smile still big on my face.
"Who knows, maybe I am Spiderman," he says, arching his eyebrow.
"Yeah," Jack says thoughtfully.
"I mean, you fit the requirements. A somehow attractive nerd and someone no one would ever think is Spiderman," I say, stroking my chin teasingly.
"Oh well," he says with a sigh. "At least I'm attractive."
"Who you? Not as much as moi," Corbyn says with a chuckle.
"Oh but neither of you guys can match me," I say, flipping my hair back.
"Well..." Corbyn starts before I stop him with a death glare.
We stop by Christina who is rushing to grab her things.
"So what are we talking about?" she asks, linking my arm within hers.
"Daniel's Spidey Sense," I reply happily.
"Really? I thought you would be talking about--" she says but stops when Corbyn clamps her mouth shut.
"The girl is in a good mood, let her be in one," he says and Christina nods.
Daniel walks over to Christina and whispers something to which she responds, "Later."
I'm guessing that they're talking about what happened but I don't really care. As I look around the hallway, I see Zach talking to Cindy... again. I skip over to him.
"Someone's got a crush!" I sing, causing both of them to blush.
"Stop it Amber!" he says bashfully.
"Oh please, you know I'm right," I scoff before going back to the rest of them.
They're all trying to stifle their laughter but compose themselves soon enough. The smile wasn't wiped off my face all morning.
~time skip to lunch because that's the important scene~
Funnily enough, I hadn't stopped smiling... even in PE and we had to run a mile. I smiled like a freak while running, obviously confusing the teacher because she stared at me with an arched eyebrow, causing me to smile even wider.
I quietly hum a song in line while Jack and Daniel are arguing about something which I'm not bothered to pay attention. I start mouthing the words to the song as I exit the line.
I look over at our table. The tune stops and my breath hitches in my throat.
You knew he was gonna be there! What? Did you think he was just going to skip school?
I was hoping.
Idiot.
I steel myself and plaster a smile back on my face. I add a little spring in my step and walk over to the table.
