Chapter Text
Peter Parker always get bullied for no reason. He’s always the quiet and shy child but he never understands why nobody wants to be friends with him. One day, Peter was on his way to the park in hoping to make friends. He is 15 years old and some of the kids think that he’s nobody, until Ryan pushed him to the ground again.
“What are you doing here baby Peter?” Ryan said in a teasing matter.
“I’m here to make friends so leave me alone Ryan” Peter had enough and he is putting his foot down. Ryan got pissed at because Peter is talking back to him. So instead, he pushed him again, “What are you going to do about it Peter?”
“Hey! Pick somebody your own size” a girl around Peter’s age with [hair color] [hair length] is glaring at Ryan. As if looks could hurt Ryan he would long gone.
“Oh look Peter’s girlfriend is here to the rescue him. Is your girlfriend fighting your fights now” Peter told himself that he would never cry in front of this bully. The girl stomps her way in front of Ryan and pushes him away from Peter.
“You’re just being a big mean head, are you? Why don’t you leave him alone?” Ryan laughed thinking that it’s so cute how this girl is pretending to be brave and strong.
“Did you just push me?”
“Yeah, I just did. Are you stupid or what?” she said. Ryan is angry and red as tomato. She’s embarrassed him in front of his friends. He did what other guys wouldn’t usually do. Hit her. He throw a punch at the girl’s face but only getting block by her hands and pushing him again. This time, it made him lose his balance.
“Why you little brat!” he raised his voice at her but she didn’t even flinch. She has her fighting stance. Ryan got up and throwing another punch at her. This time, she used his force that he gave her and returning it back to him by punching him enough that it knock him off his feet. Peter blinked several times, he thought that he was blinking to fast that he missed out on everything.
“You’re such a freak” Ryan stood up quickly but the girl pretend to attack him which sends him away running. The girl yelled after, “I will hunt you!” then she laughs so hard that she snorted; she turn to Peter and offer her hand. “Are you okay?” he didn’t say anything; he just took her hand and nod.
“You’re not much of a talker are you?”
“I—I didn’t know… how did you that?” the girl raised her eyebrows at him “That… oh! My Uncle taught me how to do it. Its self defense, it’s not suppose to hurt anyone but I just used it just to scare him away”
“Oh... well thank you” the girl look at him curious.
“You’re not scared of me?” Peter shook his head and look at her [eye color]
“Why would I be? You just help me with Ryan” something in the girl’s face light up and she smiled brightly. She grab his hand into hers, “That’s awesome! A lot of kids are usually scared of me because I can fight and they don’t like kids like that”
“Well, I think you’re cool!” said Peter smiling at her. “My name is Peter by the way. Peter Parker”
“Nice to meet you Peter” she smile “My name is [Name]. [Name] [L Name]”
“Are you here by yourself?” she finally let go of his hand. Peter look around and there was no one that seem to know [Name]
“Yeah, it’s just me. My Aunt and Uncle are looking for houses here. I have a cellphone and I told them I’ll be around. But… I guess I went too far” she said getting worried.
“Well… I guess you can come over at my house. My Aunt and Uncle are home. I can introduce you” [Name] and walk home with Peter. They reach Peter’s house without any keys, they just walk inside.
“Aunt May! Uncle Ben! I’m home” a lady about [Name] Aunt’s age walk in and greet Peter and kiss his forehead.
“Where have you been mister? We’ve been looking everywhere for you!” Aunt May said. She finally notices [Name] standing shyly behind Peter.
“And who is your new friend?” she smiled warmly at the girl.
“This is [Name], she’s my new friend. She accidentally wonders off to far from her Aunt and Uncle. So, I thought she can stay with us for a while?” Aunt May look worried but agreed to Peter’s idea.
‘Why don’t you make yourself at home, [Name]. Do you have your Uncle or Aunt’s number?” [Name] nod and took her cellphone out of her small brown bag.
“I do, I guess I should call them” she said sheepishly “Hi Uncle Hershel. I’m alright, don’t worry. Yes, I did. Alright. Where am I? uhhh, I made a new friend. He’s name is Peter!” she said excitedly and she continue to talk on the phone “He’s Aunt is here. Alright, I’m sorry Uncle”
“Uhm, my Uncle was wondering if he can talk to you” she said to Aunt May.
A few hours passed Peter and [Name] were watching TV and playing some board games and ending up laying at the carpet, side by side listening to music and talking to each other.
“Do you live here [Name]?” Peter asked
“No, I live at [home place]. Aunt Lori told me that they are looking for houses here. So maybe, I’ll move here”
“Really?” Peter said with a hint of hope. [Name] nod as she look at the ceiling; she like hanging out with Peter, he doesn’t make fun of her just because she can fight. Other kids never like that and she doesn’t understand why.
Two weeks has passed, Peter spends most of his time hanging out with [Name]. They would talk endlessly, play games and watch TV. She would even show him a few moves that he can use if they were hurting him. It was something he has to get used to but he got it eventually… with a little bit of practice. Two weeks has passed; it was time for [Name] to go. Her Aunt and Uncle pick up [Name] from Peter’s house. They also got really close to Uncle Ben and Aunt May, they were really helpful in hoping that they can find a place to live in New York one day. Peter was trying his best to stay happy for his friend but it wasn’t working since [Name] was in a verge of crying.
“Now, now sweetie. No need to cry, you’ll see Peter one day” [Name] nod and look at Peter. She gives him a big hug, “I’ll miss you Peter”
“I’ll miss you too [Name]. You’ll always be my best friend” he said as he hugs her back.
“Mine too” they exchange address so they can write letters to each other. Goodbye is always the hardest thing for Peter. Just like how he said goodbye to his parents. But he believes they will see each other soon, at some point they would. He would always hold this friendship in his heart.
One year passed, the letters keep on coming. [Name] and Peter like it, they like writing to each other and always telling each other their day or week. Sometimes, they would even call each other when they are allowed too. [Name] never felt so happy having a friend like him. Two years passed, the letters were more slowly now but only because the technology also started to expand and they become more engulf with their school work and plans but none the less, they would never forget each other. The third year pass and there wasn’t any mails, calls or emails at all. They wonder what happen to them. They are now both 18 years old and just finished high school. Another year passed and Peter started to date Gwen and [Name] is just busy with art and her martial art lessons. One day, Peter was thinking after all his been through… he thought of [Name]. Looking around her a piece of paper that says her home address and email address. He thought of writing to her but how long until she gets his letter from the mail? Does she even live at the same place? Thinking of emailing her, he opened up his laptop.
[Name],
It’s been a while… sorry if I haven’t been writing at all. I hope, you still remember me. It’s Peter.
He stared at it for a while; thinking if this is good enough intro to his email. Then he continue
It’s been a crazy ride here in New York. I don’t know, if you still have the same email address but I thought it was worth a shot but if it is a same one. Hi.
Your Friend,
Peter Parker
The cursor was hanging upon the send bottom thinking if he really wanted to send the email. No longer wasting minutes or even hours, he pressed send. Peter took a deep breath and decides to just sleep it off. It’s been a long tiring day for him and stressing about an email is not on his list today. After, what it seems a few minutes; he heard a ‘ping’ in his laptop. He quickly got up from his bed, reading the email.
Peter,
PEEEETTTTTERR Parker?
Peter laugh as he can imagine her saying his name like that.
Indeed, it has been a while. It’s been crazy here as well. I will talk to you soon though? Take care of yourself.
Your friend also,
[Name] [L name]
Peter was a bit upset that her email didn’t say much but at least she replied meaning that she still remember and has the same email. For the first time, Peter went to bed with a smile.
