Capítulo 44: Chapter 44
"Babe? Nothing, I was just being friendly to the new girl is all-"
"-Save it Flash," Liz growled, "if I find you ever flirting with that bitch we are done understand?"
"But Liz-"
"-Understand?!"
Flash sighed, "yes."
"Come on, I want to see where they're going," MJ grabbed Liz's hand following them.
"Oh relax would you, Parker's finally getting some attention, let the geek enjoy it for a while," Liz replied rolling her eyes only to have MJ completely ignore her.
Felicia and I sat down opposite each other in the middle of the lunch hall. I could feel the people looking at us, usually I would sit in a corner to avoid detection, but Felecia had chosen this table. Was she making a statement? Maybe, but why? And for what reason?
I took out my lunch and ate. Felicia raised an eyebrow at the PB&J sandwich, "is that seriously all you brought to eat?"
I shrugged, "I eat more at work. A friend of mine and I end up eating out most of the time. It's easier and since the office pays for it I don't have to worry about lunch per say."
"Hm," she hummed, "where do you work?"
"Someplace special," I smiled.
"You aren't going to tell me?"
"Are you going to tell me you're life story?"
Felicia smirked, "no, I guess not. So Muscles, tell me, why exactly do people avoid you?"
I snorted, "please don't call me that, it's really silly. If you're going to give me a nickname make it cooler, like...Pete, or Petey. Muscles makes me sound so arrogant."
"Hm, no, I don't think so, I like the name."
I rolled my eyes, "I had a feeling you were going to say that."
"Now, are you going to answer my question or keep deflecting?"
I shrugged, "nothing to tell really. They don't like me, I'm kind of antisocial, plus I'm pretty smart so they tend to avoid me. A friend once told me it's because they are scared of me, but I don't really think that's true."
"Maybe, maybe not," Felicia took out her own lunch, a box of chicken salad, "but you know what I think?"
"That you should eat more than just a salad?"
"A girl has to keep her figure you know," she smiled.
"Something tells me you can do that even while eating burgers," I smiled back.
"Checking me out have you?"
"Just as much as you have been me," I reply back.
"You know I think I'm starting to understand why they were weary of you. You're very perceptive, and also dangerous."
I blinked, "how so?"
"You said it yourself, I'm been observing you. You don't behave like a teenager, you're ignored but you don't mind, in fact you like it sometimes. Kids don't' like being ostrichsized, we hate it, but you, you're used to it. And you're also smart. Smart enough to be in college right now, but for some reason you're here...hiding...a child genius would be put on a spot light, but a teenager who smart and still in school? No, you're hiding something Muscles, I'm going to find out what exactly that is."
I couldn't help the shock that came over me. I stared at this gorgeous girl before me and realised she was probably the closest person to finding out my secret identity. I knew I should be afraid, curious even, but I couldn't help myself, I was impressed.
"You know Felicia, I think I'm in love," I smiled.
"Sorry Muscles, you're not my type," she smiled back.
I shrugged, "I figured. So, why did you want to talk? Just to tell me you think I'm dangerous? Or is it actually something important?"
Felicia sighed, "no, there is actually a reason. Mr. Goldberg," our physics teacher, "told me I needed to improve my grades, I started pretty late so I need to catch up. He suggested I ask you for help."
"Which is when you started to creep on me," I concluded.
"Yup," she nodded as she ate a piece of boiled chicken, "though I have to admit I was actually not going to bother at all, I don't need to waste hours of my life listening to some know it all lecture me. I'm already suffering in school for that."
"So you have judged me worthy, I'm honoured," I chuckled.
"No, not really. I wasn't going to bother, until I heard what you said," I looked confused and she explained, "in history, you talked about how the names you pick best represents the people we really are. How the names we have are the hopes and burdens our parent has on us. It really struck a chord with me, so I figured, why not? You sound interesting enough after all."
I raised an eyebrow, I take back what I said, I don't think I'm in love, I know I'm in love. Damn, if only she was actually interested in Peter Parker.
"So you want me to tutor you?"
"Pretty much, yeah."
"Hm, well I don't really have much time," which was true, I had Colleen's classes, Baxter building stuff and being Spider-man to add into the mix. It would be difficult to include her into that but…I'm curious. She's made me curious and I want to learn more about this silver haired girl, "I can manage one hour after school. Sorry, but no more."
"Wow, so I'm only worth an hour of your time? You know half these boys would kill for a chance to spend time with me everyday."
"Yeah, well they aren't me, and I do have a life of my own you know."
"Like what?"
"A job."
"Oh, right, the mysterious job," she said sarcastically.
I blinked, "you think I'm lying?"
"Yes."
"Why would I lie about having a job?"
"Because you don't want people to know how lonely you really are?"
"Didn't you just say I didn't mind being alone?"
"Also said you wanted to blend in, give people no reason to suspect you."
