Spider Boy

)3(

Yawning, Zaylee woke up to the sound of her alarm. Zay sat up from the ground noticing she was next to her window. She must have fallen asleep by the window without even knowing.

Standing from the ground Zaylee started to get ready for the day. It was her first day of school today and she wanted to make a good impression. She put on a white cropped halter top with a mandala on it. She wore her black ripped jeans with her grey cardigan. Not knowing what to do with her curly locks she put it up in a pony. She took out a few strands to frame her face. When she was done she grabbed her backpack and shoes. Her shoes were old and ones she bought from a thrift store. But Zaylee got a good deal.

She cracked open her door worried that her dad was awake. When she looked out the couch he was out cold with empty bottles of beer surrounding him. I guess he bought more beer she thought. Quickly before he could wake she rushed to the kitchen and grabbed an apple. Then ran out the door.

Zaylee made it to her bike then unlocked it and started riding to school. She ate her apple as she rode. When Zay got to the school she locked up her bike. She looked around at the kids walking into the school and her heart rate started to speed up. She recognize none of them.

"Hey Zay!" Zaylee heard a voice yell. It was Liz, thank god. "Hey." She said as she ran up to her. "Are you excited." She asks as the girls walked into the school. "Uh ya." Zay said hesitantly. "Don't worry you'll do great." She said as she walked Zaylee to her locker. She opened it and put her stuff inside then grabbed out her books for her first class. "What's your first class?" Liz asked once Zaylee had her stuff. "Science." "That classroom is right down the hall on your left. Have fun." Liz said then walked away to go to her class.

Zee-zee walked to the class Liz told her to. She walked inside and looked for people she knew from the party. Some looked familiar but Zaylee didn't really like them. Then she saw Peter and Ned.

"Hey isn't that Zay?" Ned said getting Peters attention. He looked up to see Zaylee talking to the teacher. "Ya I think it is." He replied. "Take your seats everyone." The teacher spoke. Ned walked over to his seat leaving Peter alone. "Class this is Zaylee. She just moved here. I expect all of you to be nice." The teacher said. "You can go sit next to Mr. Parker. Peter raise your hand." She said. Peter did as he was told. Zaylee smiled and walked over to sit next to him.

"Hey." Zaylee said as she sat next to Peter. "Thank god I'm sitting next to you and not some weirdo." She said. Peter smiled at this. "So you think I'm not weird. You barely even know me." He said messy around with her. "Peter Parker is there something you need to tell me?" She joked. Peter laughed.

The rest of the hour the two barely talked. But when they did Peter could help but start to crush on her even more.

The bell rang signaling that the class was now done. Zaylee started walking out the door but Peter stopped her. "What are your other hours?" He asked. He wanted to know if he would have any other classes with the pretty girl. She went through her schedule and he smiled. "We have lunch and wood shop together." He said. "Cool. Well I better get to my next class. Don't want to be late on the first day. Bye Peter." She smiled and waved as she walked away from the boy.

Lunch rolled around and Liz had texted Zaylee saying she was going to be doing stuff for the homecoming dance so she wouldn't be at lunch. Now Zaylee had to fend for herself. She walked around the lunchroom looking for someone who seemed nice. She made it to the back of the lunchroom and saw Ned and Peter sitting together. So she hurried over to them.

"Hey guys. Mind if I sit with you." She said as she made her way over to them. "Take a seat." Ned said as he motioned at the seats across from him. "Thanks." She said and sat down.

"What do you think of Spider-Man?" Ned blurted out as she was reaching in her bag to grab her lunch. Peter looked at Ned with a look that said what are you doing!? "Who?" Zaylee asked as she set her sandwich down on the table. "The Spider-Man, he's all over YouTube." Ned said getting excited.

"Oh ya. I heard Liz talk about him. I guess he's cool." She replied not really interested in the topic. The boys started a new conversation and Peter noticed Zaylee zoned out. She just stared as the table while she ate.

"Hey penis Parker." The group heard a voice from across the lunch room. They all turned to see flash. "Ugh." Peter said as he looked down embarrassed. "Is that flash?" Zaylee asked speaking up even though she didn't see flash. Only heard his voice. They nodded. "Wow he's really not good at insults." She remarked. "It would be better if it was puny penis Parker." She said. The boys couldn't help but laugh at her.

"Hey!" Peter said as he put a hand on his heart in fake hurt. Zaylee laughed at him. The bell rang so the group stood up and walked to wood shop together. Ned and Peter talked together and Zaylee kind of just stood there. But that's how she liked it.

When they made it to wood shop the boys went to there normal seats and Zaylee went to talk to the teacher. Class started and the teacher told Zaylee to sit where ever she wanted. So Zaylee sat in the corner of the class away from most people. The only person close to her was Michelle.

Ned and Peter started to take apart the alien weapon that Peter had gotten the night of the party. They were trying to figure out who the guy in the wing suit was.  As Ned and Peter were taking apart the weapon Peter couldn't help but steal glances at Zaylee.

"You like her don't you?" Ned said taking Peter out of his trance. "Huh what who?" "You like Zaylee don't you?" Peter shook his head no. "No i like Liz." He said like he was trying to convince himself that he didn't like Zaylee. "Oh so you like them both!" Ned exclaimed.

Peter put his head in his hands. Maybe he did like Zaylee.
