NEW YORK
8:37

Okay. here we are again. to introduce myself, I'm [name] [last name]. I got bitten by a radioactive spider with my boyfriend miles morales. not at the same time as him but— yeah I got bit.

Lately me and him have been getting along very well, but we don't make enough time for each other to hang out cause we're so busy fighting off villains.

I can't even call him sometimes.
and look, he here goes calling me now. I'm not fighting off a villain but I'm busy.

Miles:
PICK UPPPP I've
been trying to call
you for days now

Me:
IM BUSY.

Right. but at the same
time I'm not busy. me and my mom haven't gotten— well, along lately. I've been missing school a lot and I have never even once talked to her and I feel bad because of it and now I'm even more stressed.

Okay now off that subject.

Miles and I, we haven't been on the right track either. sometimes when I'd talk to someone he'd get jealous. it could be a guy or a friend of mines, he'd still get jealous.

Other than that, our relationship together is strong. there's nothing, and I mean nothing that can break us apart.

...right?

Currently there was something happening at the store just up a few blocks away from the apartment me and my mom stayed in.

I nonchalantly walked inside the store to see just..a lot of commotion happening. is this guy trying to steal out of an ATM? I just shook my head.

"Hi, excuse me." I pushed past the person who was a white figure with what looked like— holes in them?

"You okay?" I asked the store owner and he just nods in reply. I make sure to check behind me before searching for miles.

I also had to meet up with my mom pretty soon. she sounded upset on the phone— "Hey, Lenny. how much do I owe you for this beef patty man?" I recognize that voice! it was miles.

I step around the corner and lock eyes with miles, "I see you weren't late this time." he says jokingly.

"And I see you weren't as annoying as last time." I reply sarcastically while walking past him, "Hey! I'm not annoying!" Miles exclaims.

I turned to the person with holes in them as miles stands next to me. "So, are you like, a cow, or a dalmation?" Miles asks.

"I am..." the villain pauses dramatically, "the spot. we meet again little spiders."

I begin laughing as bread falls out of one of his holes, Spot turns to me while tilting his head. "Oh, that's funny to you?" he asks.

"Oh, no, no! of course not. it's just amusing adding to a little humor." I replied. Miles nods in agreement while wrapping his arm around my shoulders.

"So, is that a costume?" Miles asks while gesturing to spots 'outfit'. Spot glanced at us. "Unfortunately for all three of us, this is skin." he replies.

"Oh, dang." I say while wincing a little. at the same time though it was kinda funny— he looked absolutely ridiculous.

"You see...I'm from your past." Spot says, "From one year ago–" my phone let out a loud ding!! which means I got a notification.

I looked down at my phone and miles does the same with his, "Hold up." Miles says.

Mom:
[name] where are you
and miles? I'm with rio
and Jeff right now.

Me:
Wait a few more minutes
please? I'll be on my way.

Mom:
HOW LONGER IS A 'FEW MORE MINUTES' GONNA BE? YOU SAID THAT AN HOUR AGO. WHAT ARE YOU AND MILES DOING??

I turned to miles, "we gotta hurry and get this out the way. my mom sounds upset. and uh, you know how she gets when she's upset." I said.

Miles shut his eyes closed while slowly nodding, "Mhm..I never wanna experience that again."

"Okay this has been fun, but we really gotta wrap this up." I say and wrapped my webs right around spot's throat, yanking him towards me but one of his holes made it towards my face and I fell face flat on the ground.

Miles uses his webs but one of his own webs gets caught in his face making him yelp, I also get caught in the chaos as a web gets thrown in my face also. making us bump into each other.

I take the web off my face and hurry out of the store, chasing after spot. one of his holes landed on my foot causing me to fall through, as I did I accidentally hit a bird. "I'm so sorry!" I say apologetically.

It only flies away when I spooked it. spot lands in front of me and I kick him in his face. "Stop making us chase you, man!" I shouted.

"I am your nemesis! shush!" Spot yells while a incoming taxi was about to hit a couple of bystanders, miles comes to my aid and quickly stops it while I wrap my webs around the bystanders.

We then landed on a moving car, spot dodges all of my hits messily but I brought my hand right through his arm and slammed him to the ground.

"Ahh! my nose!" Spot exclaimed while wincing and clutching his face. "Sorry, did I slam you too hard?" I asked with concern.

"Sorry, we just really gotta be somewhere." Miles says while typing away at his phone, "spot are you okay–" before you could finish a hole forms underneath you.

"Sike." Spot says and I immediately latched onto miles waist as the both of us started to fall. I use my web to drag spot with us.

We land on a hard surface and I groaned as I fell face flat on the metal surface. water hit me in the face and I winced, "We're figuring it out! we're finding our rhythm!" Spot shouted.

Now we're in a small shop, bubbles surrounding us too. there were two kids and one of them had on a merch mask which was mines and the other child had on miles mask.

"I've been waiting for this moment for a really long time." Spot said, a goose lands on my head and many more as well.

"Whoa!"

"Where'd these freaking goose come from?!"

The girl who stood next to her father takes off the mask, "I don't wanna wear this anymore." she says while watching the scene.

"Almost there, mami...smiley face..." miles trails off as he types away at his phone. "Miles seriously?! we got more important matters on our hands right now!" I shouted.

"Shh, shh, gimmie a second mi amor." Miles says to me and I just sighed and tackled spot to the ground again.

We fall through another hole, miles was still typing away at his phone. I grabbed it, "please pay att-!" I couldn't finish when spot throws a punch to my face.

Miles twitches, "oh nah– you hit the final straw yo." he says to spot and immediately wrapped a few webs around him.

I do the same and wrap some around spot's legs so he wouldn't escape. I make a little bow with my web and place it on spot's head, "for a little texture!" I say.

Miles wraps his hand around my waist as the both of us head back to our school.

I already knew I was definitely in trouble.
