Ten minutes pass.

Twenty.

An hour.

Peter
Like accounting? Construction?

Another half hour.

I wonder why they had to leave so suddenly. Did I say something wrong? Was I prying? I take a minute to scan through all my texts just in case I said anything I didn't mean to.

No...I see nothing. Weird. Maybe my text didn't go through.

Whatever, I won't overthink it. I'm sure they'll reply whenever they can.

*le time skip to: the next day*

__group chat: the crew__

Peter
Hey guys
...
Guys?
...
...
Did I say something wrong?

__switched to chat: Spy__

Peter
Hey Nat
Anything new?
...

Oh, god, I bet I said something wrong. What did I say? Why are they avoiding me?

Stop it, Peter! Quit overthinking it. It's nothing. They have other lives! It's only been a night.

But how come absolutely no one's replied? The chat has like 7 other people in it, right? There's no way they'd all disappear at once.

I'll ask Tony after school today. Maybe he'll know. They all do work for him, right?

I spend the rest of my school day anxiously checking my phone, unable to focus on most of my school work. I know I'm overthinking this entirely, okay? I know! I'm Peter Parker, what else did you expect?
