Orphan Spider

Chapter 45

Peter's P.O.V

The weekend was amazing!

Wade, Ned, MJ and I had a sleepover at the tower till sunday and we watched movies and ate junk food. We were either in the living room, the kitchen or my room and I was thankfully that they didn't bring up the incident from friday.

I really do wonder, and I say this all the time, but...

How did I end up with such a loving family, such wonderful friends and the best boyfriend you could ask for?

.

It's monday and I'm in my room, getting ready for school. I make my way out of my room and see Steve, Bucky, Nat, WD (Wizard Dad) and Sam in the kitchen. I say good morning to them and make breakfast. When I'm done, Dad has also joined us. I say goodbye to everyone and head down, towards the subway. Around 20 minutes later, I'm at school and I walk in with my friends. Flash even said "Good morning" to me when we walk passed, to which I also responded with "Good morning".

MJ and Wade gave him glares but eased up once Flash was gone. We headed to class and I couldn't wait for the school day to end. I was planning on visiting someone very special.

~Timeskip to ze end of the day once again because I have the power of... a writer...?~

I'm at my locker with my friends and we're preparing to leave. Then I remember what I had to do.

"You guys can go without me. I have to do something." I say.

"We can go with you or wait here." Ned says with a bright smile.

"I...uhh... kinda wanna go...umm... alone..." I say awkwardly. "I don't want to be mean to you! I just, there's someone I wan't to talk to...!" I add quickly.

"Don't worry loser. We can wait here." MJ says and she gives me a small smirk.

"Umm... I'm not really sure how long it will take, so I don't want to waste your time."

"How about we wait outside school? We can get some vitamin-D and some "fresh" New York air." Wade says and he air quotes the word fresh.

"I mean, I can't stop you. So if you want to do that then don't yell at me if you have to wait." I say as I start to walk away, passing some classrooms.

"Where are you going anyways?" Ned yells out as I'm about to round a corner.

"I'll tell you later!" I say and I start to make my way towards the library.

I'm standing outside of the library and carefully open the door and step in. I expected to see Mr. Lee by the desk but instead, a woman that I don't recognize is there. She's reading a book and I look at her for a little while, wondering where Mr. Lee is.

'Maybe she's just, like, a substitute librarian?' I think to myself. At that moment, the woman looks up from her book and notices me.

"Hi Sweety, can I help you with anything?" She asks with a soft smile.

"O-oh, umm, I was...umm... I was wondering where Mr. Lee is." I say nervously. Her smile drops a little, but she recomposes herself.

"I'm sorry but Stan sadly passed away some weeks ago." She says and I feel my blood run cold. "Though, he died in his sleep from old age. So I don't think he was suffering much in his last hours. He died with a smile on his face." She has a light smile plastered on her face.

"I... I see..." I say and I try to hold back my tears. Mr. Lee was always there for me, if I skipped a class for some reason, he didn't lecture me. Instead he made me tea and we would just talk and talk.
