Chapter 2 - He's Spider-Man??
I groggily turned around in my bed and looked at the clock beside my bed. I got up and went through my usual morning routine, the thought of Peter putting a spring in my step.
(Yes she's a Hufflepuff. Like me.)
I hurried down the steps and into the living room, shuffled towards the dining area and sat down on the chair across from Dad, who was reading a newspaper.
"Hi, love." my mom poked her head out and grinned at me.
"Well I gotta go to school. Bye Mom. Dad, can we go please?" I grabbed two pieces of toast and scooped some of the scrambled eggs onto it and ran out to the car. As soon as we got there. I kissed his cheek goodbye and got out of the car. I glanced around for him as I made my way to my locker. I felt the tingle in my wrist.
"I like your outfit!" I looked down at my Hufflepuff outfit and smiled up at him.
"Thanks. I love your shirt." He had a Han Solo shirt that said "I know".
"I know!" he grinned at his joke making me roll my eyes. I playfully punched his shoulder and we walked to class. The rest of the day went without a hitch. But their conversation from yesterday still rolled around in my mind. Spider-Man. My soulmate is freaking Spider-Man!
"So. Do you want to... umm... go on a date? Our first!" I grinned and looked at his adorable expression. We decided to walk around a little bit before going home. I made sure to let my parents know so that they wouldn't freak out and call every police station in the country. But I understand their worry... especially after what happened. His nudge brought me out of my trance. I nodded in response and shot him a smile. He blushed and turned away.
"I'll pick you up at 7:00?" he asked.
"Sounds great! I'm looking forward to it." Do I sound desperate. I mean... I am but that's beside the point. We walked around a little bit more in a comfortable silence.
"Well... we're here!" I involuntarily squeaked when we reached the door. "Bye Pete. I'll see you soon." He nodded with wide eyes, surprised at how hurried I must seem to get rid of him.
"Bye, Claire" he smiled, the corners of his eyes crinkling in the cutest way possible. He walked away and started heading to his apartment thinking again about how his life had changed in only two days.I leaned against the door frame watching him for a couple more seconds before I opened the door to face two snooping parents.
"Sooo... who was that?" My mom drawled. She took one look at my tinted cheeks and gasped. Darn my uncontrollable blushing.
"I may or may not have found one of my soulmates." I looked everywhere but my parents eyes as my dad grinned and my mom pulled me into the record for tightest hug. I gasped for air when she retreated. I answered all of their questions from what his name was to his hobbies. It was hard to do since I didn't know much about him yet. I let it slip that I have a date with him in less than an hour and my mom was dragging me up the stairs before I could finish. She handed me the dress and practically shoved me into the bathroom. When I walked out in the gorgeous red dress she teared up.
"It's beautiful!" She tied my hair and did my makeup since I don't have any prior experiences. I was buzzing when I heard the doorbell ring. I hurried down the stairs to see that my dad had just finished lecturing him. It was easy to tell by Peter's nervous face. When my dad moved away my jaw dropped.
