9

I decided against going out to find Spider-Man tonight.  Since he has been out.  I take a nap... and it's morning.

I look at my phone and see no notifications from anyone... then again I only have two contacts on my phone... and no apps.  I go to the river as usual, I just stare at it still.

"(Y/n)!" I hear from behind me.  Startled I start to fall forward, but an arm catches me.  I look up and see peter.

"I-oh hi." I whisper.  The contact a bit too much.  He sets me down a bit away from the water.

"Do you come here most days?" He asks.

"Yeah-yeah.  I stare a-at the wa-water." I explain.

"Why? You could fall in!  And you said you are allergic." He freaks out as we start to walk away towards the school. I say nothing, still upset with him because he acts like he wasn't missing for a week.

"How is school?" He asks changing the subject.

"I-I f-failed the m-m-math test o-on t-t-Thursday." I sigh my face red with embarrassment.

"Do you not understand it?"

"W-why d-do y-you so sudden suddenly care?" I say anger lacing my voice "n-nobody n-oticed m-me for s-sixteen y-y-years a-and suddenly y-you st-start to."  He doesn't respond.  I run away to my safe place, the auditorium.

I sit backstage and curl up in a ball on the floor and my anxiety starts to leak out through tears and sputters of words.  It doesn't surprise me that he didn't follow... he only cared because it was a dare....
