Miles Apart : Sequel To One Lucky Bite

17

"thanks mj"

the loud sound of the bell signaling second period made me jump

i threw my stuff in my backpack and rushed out the class, mj falling close behind me.

"wanna go get some food after school today"

i turned around to mj.

"where at"

"hmmm, how about. Leo's!"

"how original mj"

"hey you love leo's, we went there on our first date."

"well so did me and gwen, anyways i got a lot of homework"

"way to lead me on morales"

i turned around to talk to her but was stopped when i bumped into someone.

"sorry, i did-"

it was ned

my middle school bully

how the hell did he make it here, he's dumb as rocks

"oh look who it is, miles morales"

he had someone behind him. Flash Thompson.

"hey ned, good to see you man"

he chuckled

"don't think i forgot what you did, speak of the devil there's Mary "Slut" Watson"

"don't talk to her like that"

i got into his face, well i tried. dude was like 6'2 while i stand at a measly 5'8.

"i'd watch it miles, remember what happened last time we fought"

lets go back to 8th grade

basically 8th grade is the year i started dating mj. well before we started dated. she kissed me. Ned, which at the time was her boyfriend. he had picked on me before that and pushed me around. but mj kissing me was his breaking point. he kicked my ass, ended up breaking one of my ribs. he got expelled and today is the first time i saw him since then.

"well didn't that get you expelled, that's the problem with you ned, you don't think with your head or at least you try but your brain is clearly to dumb for that. you think with your fist. which can get you in a lot of trouble"

he had an angered look on his face.

"morales, leeds. don't yall have somewhere to be"

principal jessica drew stepped beside us

"sorry miss drew, me and my old buddy were just catching up" ned chuckled

he put his arm around my shoulder.

"class now"

she walked away and i pushed ned's arm off me

"see you around miles, and mj, call me"  he winked at her and walked away.

"that just made me fucking cringe" i said

"what a bozo" mj said

"yeah i know right"

"i gotta get to class miles, wanna come to my dorm after your "homework""

"my homework is most definitely real"

i was serious i had a paper to write

"i'll take that as a yes" she said as she walked away

time for another 5 grueling hours of school

(5 hours later, miles dorm)

i unlocked my dorm and walked inside

i recently brought a little tv that my mom didn't use anymore to my dorm.

i turned it on for some background noise.

i sat down at my desk and began to write my school paper.

an hour or so pasted until my ears focused on the tv like it was something important i need to hear.

the search continues for 19 year old hobie brown. it's been almost a month since he was last seen at his brooklyn home. if you have any information please contact the number on screen.

the news channel cut to a new screen. there stood his mother

please i'm begging you, anyone. anyone at all with information about my son. please help. i want my sweet darling baby back hom-

i turned the tv off before she could say anything else

hobie.

i need to find him.
