All right let’s do this one last time my name is Peter Parker I was bitten by a radioactive spider and for 10 years I’ve been the one and only Spider-Man! I’m pretty sure you know the rest I’ve saved a bunch of people, fell in love, saved the city and than I saved the city again and again and again and.. again. And I’ve done some uh cringey stuff like dancing on the street but we don’t talk about that. Look I’m a comic book, I’m a cereal did a Christmas album I have an excellent theme song and a.. so so popsicle. I mean I’ve looked worse but after everything I still love being Spider-Man. I mean who wouldn’t? So no matter how many hits I take I always find a way to come back because the only thing standing between this city and oblivion is me. There’s only one Spider-Man and you’re lookin’ at him..

“Yuuma?…YUMMA!!”
“Yoyo? YOYO!?” *door slams open* Yuuma gasps and removes his earbuds “Yoyo come on it’s your first day at school do you really want to be late!? Your mom’s been calling you!”
“I’m sorry พ่อ (phâw meaning dad in Thai) I’ll get ready now don’t worry!” Yuuma grabs his uniform and puts it on in a hurry while his dad leaves to get ready for work. Yuuma begins tiptoeing out of his room trying not to catch his mom’s attention who is sitting on the couch watching the news when suddenly her head snaps around and their eyes meet“まだ準備できてないの？信じられない! (Mada junbi ga dekite inai no? Shinjirarenai! meaning “You're still not ready? I can't believe it!”In Japanese)”
“I’m sorry お母さん (Okaasan meaning Mother) I just need to put my shoes on and お父さん (Otōsan meaning dad) can drive me to school!” Okaasan rolls her eyes and continues watching the news “Yoyo let’s get going it’s your first day” phâw begins “We don’t want to make a bad impression”
“Phâw is this really the best idea it’s the middle of the school year why’d you make me switch schools now” Yuuma cries
“Mai pen rai you said you didn’t like your old school anyway. Plus your best friend has been going there since the start he’ll show you the ropes!” Phâw says to Yuuma while walking to the car
“Yeah but who knows if I’ll have any classes with him! Ugh” Yuuma says while sulking in the passenger seat of the car he looks over and see’s his dad with a cheeky grin forming on his face “Phâw what’s that face for…?”
“I talked to the school and you and Prince have all the same classes AND YOUR DORM MATES!” Phâw says smiling as big as the Cheshire cat Yuuma’s eyes widen while a grin forms on his face he leans over and hugs his dad tightly “Phâw you really are the best dad ever!!” Yuuma says still hugging his dad
“Okay Yoyo I know already now let’s get going, buckle up!” Phâw says while starting the car. Yuuma looks out the window and nods off to sleep after all the car ride is 2 hours plus traffic to get to his new “School for the gifted” he doesn’t really want to go their but his mom wants him to become something she can brag about to her sisters and the whole family but mostly to her 4 sisters.. The commute is far too long for him to come back home every day so he has to stay in the dorm room at school but it isn’t so bad because he’s rooming with his best buddy of 10 out of his 13 years of living Prince! Prince is a tan 14 year old Thai-Japanese boy with dark brown messy unkept hair always wearing baggy pants paired with a baggy tee, black sunglasses and a black crossbody satchel that’s big enough to carry the things he needs for school. He’s lived in and out of Thailand and Japan for 10 years and has only been in Brooklyn since the start of this year moving at 10 years old and living with distant relatives in Tennessee for 3 years before being able to move to Brooklyn and go to this very school. His parents are back at home they moved to Thailand long term soon after Prince left to America. His mom, dad and little sister visit in the summer but other than the visits he’s alone… in his dorm room… with no family.. only friends. Yuuma (Thai nickname is Yoyo) a tall pale Thai-Japanese boy with hair dyed so blonde it almost looks white thats always kept clean and styled always wearing baggy jeans paired with a baggy tee sometimes a jacket, a Nike bag with some pink (his favorite color) and black sunglasses even though he wear glasses almost 24/7 moved a year after at 11 he’s been in Brooklyn for 2 years living with his mom, dad, and his older brother Kouji for the first year but after their mom found out Kouji wanted to study musical arts instead of being a doctor she kicked him out no matter how much his dad pleaded for him to stay the damage was done and Kouji didn’t want to say where he was unwanted his dad still talks to Kouji almost everyday and Yuuma talks and meets up with him as much as he can but Kouji and his mom haven’t spoken since that day..
