Chapter Text
Miles Morales was back at Visions Academy after a summer spent at home. As happy as he’d been to be out of school, he missed his friends, and was more than excited to see them again after a summer filled with texts, phone calls, and video chats. Sure, it would be different without Noir and Ham, who were in college this year, but he’d have Gwen (who he’d been flirting with) and Peni (Noir’s younger sister), and that was enough for him.
Miles tucked his schedule under his arm and entered the school. He scanned the crowded hallway for anyone he knew. When he saw Gwen, he waved her down, and rushed over.
“Gwen! It’s so good to see you again!”
“Miles! It’s good to see you too!”
The two began walking again in order to avoid the crowd.
They talked about everything they did over the summer, and asked about each other’s families, with Gwen calling Miles’ parents by their first names like always.
“Who do you have first period?” Miles asked Gwen.
“Drew,” Gwen replied.
“Aw, man. I’m stuck with Octavius,” said Miles after checking his schedule.
Gwen laughed. “Good luck. That woman is a nightmare.”
Miles sighed. “Don’t remind me.”
“But hey, we both have O’Hara’s class eighth.” Gwen pointed to his schedule.
Miles scoffed. “He’s worse than Octavius!”
“Yeah, but at least we can spend some time together. And Peni is in that class too, so it’ll be just like last year!”
Gwen stopped abruptly.
“This is it. See you at lunch, okay?”
“Yeah!”
Gwen smiled and stepped into the room. Suddenly, the bell rang. Crap, he was late for first.
