Doing Some Web Design (Peter Parker Story)

How do I Explain This?

Andy's POV

After my little rendezvous with Spiderman I have a new found respect for him. This just makes me want to know who he is even more. There is just something that is so familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it. I'm sitting in Latin class ( ) , which is the only class I don't have with Peter. It's a good thing, so I don't get distracted by him and I can just think to myself.

I walk to lunch and sit down next to Peter.

"Hey Petey" I saw with a smile bigger than usual.

"Oh hey Andy," His smile quickly fades, "Andy.What happened to your arm?"

"What?" SHIT! I forgot that at the robbery last night I got a big bruise on my arm."Nothing." I say trying to play it off cool.

"That doesn't look like nothing." Peter says with extra concern in his voice.

Ned walks over to the table. Great!

"Hey, Ned!" I say relieved because now I don't have to explain the bruise to Peter. I carefully pull down my sleeve to cover it, so Ned doesn't start asking questions.

"Hey, Andy. Whats up?"

"Nothin much." I say casually. The rest of lunch we talked about our favorite scenes in Star Wars until the bell rang for our next class. I get up from my seat, but before I could leave Peter pulls me aside.

"We are not done talking about this." He says lifting my sleeve to reveal my bruise. "Ok?"

"Ok." I say looking at the ground. "Peter, wait!" I say before he steps out of the cafeteria. "We are still meeting at my house right?"

"You know it. Just meet me at my locker. See ya!" and with that Peter walks to his next class.

Time Skip To The End Of The School Day

After the final bell rings, I pack up my things and head to Peter's locker.

"You ready Pete?" I ask.

"Yeah. Hey, is it ok if Ned comes?"

"Of course! He is my best friend too." I say excited because Ned has never seen my apartment.

We reach my apartment, after what felt like forever walking through Queens, having to hear Peter and Ned rant about their favorite portrayal of Batman. I personally, liked Christian Bale the best, but I didn't want to get in the way of their little debate. I open the doors and Ned looks at me shocked.

"Nice." Ned says nodding in approval.

"I'm glad you like it" I say proud. "C'mon sit" I point to the couch. All three of us plop down on the couch.

"Alright so, what do you guys want to do?" Peter asks.

"Let's play a game!" Ned says super excited when he sees s book case full of games against the wall. I chuckle at him acting like a kid in a candy store. He grabs Sorry and places it on the dining room table. We get up to where Ned is sitting and gather around the table. We play for hours, each of us winning at least one round. In about our fifth time playing, I was so close to winning all I needed to do was roll a 7. I push up my sleeves out of habit, completely forgetting my bruise. I roll the die and what would ya know I got a 7! I jump up from the table pumping my fist in the air singing "We are the Champions". After a few long seconds of gloating I sit back down. Ned narrows his eyes at my arm.

"Andy. What's that on your arm?" Ned asks curiously.

"Its uh-" but before i could answer Peter cuts me off.

"Its a bruise, Ned" Peter says concerned.

"How did that happen??" Ned asks extremely worried.

"Yeah, Andy what happened?" Peter asks on the edge of his seat.

SHIT! How do I explain this?(A/N: Roll credits) I glance at the boys with a sincere look on my face.

"I fell off my bed and onto my arm." I say lying to them. I felt so guilty telling them this, but its more dangerous for them to know the truth.

"Really?" Ned says disappointed.

"I'm sorry. What were you expecting? Like I got into a fight or something?"

"Ummm.. yeah" Ned replies.

The three of us burst out laughing. We spent the rest of the time enjoying each others' company, whether it was telling jokes or practicing corny pickup lines we had fun. The more I spent time with the boys, I realized how far I had come. I lost everything in my life, my friends, my family, but when I'm with Peter and Ned I see that they I found my new family. They care about me and I care about them. I can't lose them, especially Peter. I love him...
