From The Dark | Peter Parker x OC ✔️

Chapter Thirty-Two

A/N: Hey guys! An early merry Christmas to all of you in case we don't meet on Christmas day :) We don't really celebrate Christmas at my house but I wish we did since it's, like, my favorite holiday ever. And don't even get me started on Christmas carols. They're the best part about Christmas. Other than the presents, of course.

So quick recap on the last chapter: Adie found out that her powers come from an infinity stone and you guys found out that Adie was Project 1978, Graves may or may not have seen what Adie and Ned were up to, and Adie spilled the beans to Wanda who made our heroine promise to keep her updated on what happens with the files. Unless I'm forgetting something (which, I probably am), I think that's about it.

Now, about this chapter...well, let's just say you might want to read it sitting down ;) I'm not really sure what I want to do for the next chapter yet because there are so many storylines that I'm playing on right now and it's kinda hard to keep them all balanced sometimes. But I guess we'll see where this ends up going.

Also, read the author's note at the end for a special little Christmasy surprise :)

"Do you know another Wanda?"

————————————————————

Wanda had to leave the next day but she made Adelaide promise to tell her everything that would happen. Adelaide promised, unknown to how situation was about to take a dark turn.

Adelaide was currently sitting in Algebra class, bored out of her mind. Other than the fact that her bladder was about to burst, there wasn't much else that she could concentrate on. Tapping her foot, she glanced at the clock on the wall. There was still 30 whole minutes left before she could leave. According to her bladder, she most certainly did not have 30 minutes left to wait.

She raised her hand.

Mr. Hans glanced at her from above his glasses and then turned away. She frowned and raised her hand higher.

"...this is the formula used for a calculation such as this..."

Adelaide considered standing up on her desk to get his attention but she doubted that that was the kind of attention she wanted. Instead she pushed her hand higher up in the air, waving it dramatically.

"...on the test, these formulas will not be available so please take a minute to memorize them..."

Adelaide's frown deepened. He was purposefully ignoring her. But why?

Maybe because the last time you contributed to the conversation in this class, he had to escort you to the main office.

Okay, maybe he was ignoring her for a good reason. But she had a good reason to get his attention, too. If she didn't leave now, she couldn't promise to take responsibility for what happened after.

"...so as you can see on this graph here—"

"Mr. Hans!" she blurted. She could hear him sigh deeply before he turned around. There was some kind of expression on his face. Was it...pain?

"Yes, Miss Rivers," he said cooly. She realized the whole class was staring at her. She lowered her hand.

"Can I use the restroom?" she asked as sweetly as she could manage. He looked happy to get rid of her for the next 5 minutes and agreed. Adelaide practically ran out of the classroom and down the hall to the nearest restroom. She didn't know how much longer she was going to be able to hold it in.
