This is literally the only stressful thing thats gotten to me. I had to do SO much thinking on this one, ONLY because Michael's hair. He's only had his hair blonde threes times in his band life. Beginning, the...well.... middle, and now. I was stressed on this one. I just decided to stick with 2010 because I couldn't make up my mind on it. Michael's a confusing man..this takes place in Australia though!

The clock was almost fuckin there. All there was left, was to wait.
Tick
Rubbing my eyes, all I wanted to do was sleep. It was Wednesday, although tomorrow would be the beginning of Summer Vacation. Which also meant, Goodbye 9th year. Finally.
Tick
The bell finally rang. Everyone in the class immediately stood up, grabbing their books, binders, or notebooks and began rushing out of the room. Me, being one of those people. There was loud cheering in the hallways as I made my way to my locker. I found this part quite enjoyable.
As soon as I got to my locker, my friends were crowded around it. In the front was BFF/N. He/She was smiling like a kid who got handed an early birthday present. He/She and my friends formed a crowd around me as soon as I began to do the code for my lock.
"Hey, are you free to come over tonight? We can watch movies and eat food!" They bribed. I laughed and looked at them. "What?" They asked before I turned back around, grabbing my bag.
"Bribing me with food ey? What's the catch?" I asked. They sighed and mumbled about how nothing could get past me.
"The catch is..is that you have to buy it. You see, my mom is visiting my aunt, my dad is on a business trip, and my siblings are off in college. Yes, my mom left food and snacks, but they aren't sour. And she knows we love sour candies!" They exclaimed. I laughed.
"Ok. Ok, ok, ok. I'll bring the snacks. Just next time, you're walking to the store to get them. I'll get us FreeZ's too. I'll get myself the suicide flavors (here we call them suicides. When we mix all the flavors.) And I'll get you the Ginger Ale flavor." I said to them. They fist bumped the air and began to walk out. After thanking me of course.
I closed my locker, taking my lock. We kept them over the summer, as each year we'd change lockers. As I was walking out, I saw a guy struggling to get his lock off. Smiling slightly, I walked over and tapped his shoulder. He turned around, revealing beautiful green eyes.
Michael Clifford. The schools weird boy. To me, he seemed cool. We talked a few times, he was only called weird because of his choice of hairstyle. Which, who cared? It didn't really mean he had a gross personality. It was just a style choice.
"You need help?" I asked. He nodded before I lended him a hand. As I inspected his lock, it seemed as if he jammed his lock way up inside his closing tab. I pulled on it, as it didn't budge. After a second, he decided to help too. It took a bit, but we both pulled it off. Which ended with the both of us falling down.
Laughing, he helped me up and we got the lock off. "Thanks Y/N. You're a..well..locksaver." He punned. I cringed slightly before giggling. He smiled and rubbed his neck.
"No problem. You looked like you needed help. Have a wonderful Summer Michael." I told him. He nodded before I began to walk home.

Walking through my front door, I immediately got jumped on by my pup D/N (Dogs Name) I laughed and scratched his cheeks. I yelled a hello to whoever was home before I threw my backpack in the closet. I obviously wouldn't need that any of this Summer.
"I'm gonna sleep over at BFF/N's house! I'll text you when I'm there mom! Just so you know I'm safe!" I yelled. I heard a muffled, "You better" from the kitchen before I made my way outside the door. With money of course. Not my parents, but my allowance...which I got from my parents.... It was a total of 72 dollars and 86 cents.
Making my way down the street, I finally caught sight of the store. Well...gas station. I walked in, making my way to the snacks. I smiled, catching sight of the Toxic Wastes. They were $6.32 each, but if you bought 4 you'd get them for $3.00 I didn't know how things worked anymore so I got them. I got a few other sour candies before I heard a loud noise.
I went on with my shopping, confused, before I paid and walked out. I still had 51 dollars left so I just continued my way to BFF/N's house. That's until I heard footsteps behind me. I stopped walking and turned around. I saw a man in all black there. I began walking again and he did as well. I stopped and walked. I did that a few more times before breaking into a run. He began to run as well.
I began to yell for help and such, as he did for backup, before entering into an alley. Unfortunate enough for me, I ran into the wrong one, because waiting for me at the end of it, was a gang. Probably this guy's gang.
They quickly began closing in on me and I leaned up against the wall, my wavy/straight hair now covering a small fraction of my face. Closing my eyes, expecting to see my inedible ending, it never came. I slowly opened an eye, seeing that there was a man in a red suit, with a spider in the middle of it, fighting them off.
My eyes widened as soon as I realized who was fighting. It was Spiderman. The mysterious, masked hero who eveyone was gushing over. Even I was a bit curious and impressed by his work. Always doing the job before anyone else could. It was rather interesting. And here I was, witnessing it up close.
He was fighting them off at an increasingly and incredible speed. One of I'd never seen before. He was flinging webs left to right, as well as throwing punches and kicks. It wasn't until one of the guys grabbed his punch and kicked him in his stomach was I scared for the webbed hero.
Spiderman walked backwards a bit before being whacked in the head. He groaned and the gang member walked slowly up to him, maybe finishing him off. He pulled out a gun and aimed for the masked man.
"Spiderman! No!" I yelled before jumping in. Fortunately, I made it just in time for the bullet to carve a chunk of skin off, to change it's direction and hit the other gang member. Clutching my arm and stepping back, I winced.
From everyone's surprise, Spiderman quickly webbed them all and grabbed me. He mumbled a, "hold on to me" before he started to swing. I clutched my eyes shut and I wrapped my arms around his neck like it was a life or death situation.. And honestly, it was.
My heart was beating at the fastest rate it had ever gone before. I was so scared right now. And I suppose he could tell. "Open your eyes love. You're safe now. You're gonna be ok. Tell me where you live." He said.
I opened my eyes and closed them right again. We were in the air. And I was terribly afraid of heights. I told him my coordinations before I hid my face in his neck. Soon enough, I felt my feet hit the ground lightly. I opened my eyes seeing that I was standing on my room balcony. I sighed before looking at the masked man.
"Thank y-you...so s-so much.." I said, stuttering a bit. I heard him chuckle before he placed a hand on my cheek. He looked as if he was looking into my eyes. I would be, if I could see his.
"Oh. Yeah. No problem. It's my job to protect beautiful maidens such as yourself." He said. I blushed and he gasped. "Is your arm ok!?" He exclaimed. I looked at my arm, blood coating it. I nodded.
"I've had holes from getting paintball guns bigger than this. Thanks for your concern though!" I said. He nodded before wishing me a farewell. As soon as he disappeared on my roof I yelled at him to wait. He came back upside down.
"I never got to thank you." I told him. He tried to explain to me how I didn't need to, but I did. I slowly began to take off his mask.
"No...don't...you won't like what you'll see under..." He mumbled.
"That's not what I want to see. Your facial secret will be safe." I replied. This probably left him confused. I stopped when it was a bit above his lips. I sighed before I slowly leaned in and kissed him.
Expecting him to pull away, he didn't. He only pulled me in. His lips were soft and warm. They felt welcoming, however the kiss was the most passionate and loving kiss I'd ever felt. It's like..I knew him. The voice, the lip color. The scent. He felt so familiar.
He came down from his upside down form and held my face in his hands. My hands went to his chest. His hands then went from my face, down my body, to my waist. He pulled me in closer to him.
We pulled away and he took off his mask, gasping for air. He may have accidentally forgot I was here for a moment because I saw everything. My eyes widened, and I looked at him.
His eyes widened before he put his head down. "Listen...Y/N...this is the reason why I said you won't like what you see.. On the outside I'm a strong hero. But on the inside I'm a loser. When you kissed me, I felt my entire world lighten? But that was my outside speaking. I'm sorry..." He said.
I didn't speak. My hands went from his chest to his face. I pulled it up in the process. Instated into his beautiful green eyes and caressed my thumbs around the sides of his eyes softly. He narrowed his eyes for a second before he grabbed my right hand, placing it against his cheek. He opened his eyes and looked at me.
"Then let the inside speak." I said before lightly smashing my lips on his again. They had the same feeling but this time, they had a bit more truth to them.
