Spiderman

Principal Phillips passed us over a slips of paper with our suspension days on it and sent us to grab our things from our lockers to go home. Harry just stormed out with the backpack he already had. I slowly went to my locker grabbed my things and walked back home. When I got to my house it was empty. Aunt Lyd and Uncle Ben had both left for work. I sulked up to my room. And lay on my bed. Time to end this dream.
(6 hours later)
I woke up again this time for real. Birds chirping. Sun shining. Back to normal thank goodness. I rolled over and put my feet off my bed and reached for my glasses. And they were blurry? What? No no no. I turned to my mirror. I was wearing my uncles shirt, my body was still muscular. I wasn’t dreaming this was real? No it can’t be. There is no explanation for it. Nothing can change a person so rapidly. But something did. And I have no idea what. I guess I can use my suspension to find out. God how am I going to explain this to my aunt and uncle. they were going to realize something was up when I didn’t go to school tomorrow. Maybe if I did some chores I could be in their graces and break it to them. My uncle had been wanting to mow the lawn. I could start with that.
I changed out of my uniform and put on at t-shirt which was a bit tight now (no surprise) and some basketball shorts. Then went to the shed out back for the lawn mower. I rarely came out the old shed. It was dank, dusty and full of bugs/spiders. Not exactly your hangout spot. Luckily I didn’t have to go far into the shed to get the mower. I grabbed it and rolled it out front where I preceded to begin mowing. I was finishing up the yard when I could barely hear the sound of someone shouting my name over the roar of the lawn mower. “Niall!”
I turned off the mower to see Brooke Preston in my yard. Probably straight from practice because her hair was tied back in a ponytail and she was wearing short shorts and a tight tank. “Um hey Brooke.”
“hey. I heard you got suspended”
“rumors going around already?” I laughed wiping the sweat beading on my forehead
“No uhh Harry told me. I just took him his homework”
oh right her boyfriend. “Ohhh”
"yeah but I thought I should tell you we didn’t do much in biology homework is just to explain the Krebs cycle and cellular respiration. "
"thanks" I smiled "I can get that done tonight easy"
"I’m sure" she replied tucking a loose hair behind her ear. Silence followed for a few seconds as always "sorry you go suspended I know you didn’t start the fight and Harry did. But even when I told the principal he said your suspension was not going to be changed. So I tried"
"it’s okay I got more time to figure stuff out and schoolwork I’ll be plenty busy here at home"
"so will harry because he no longer has a girlfriend to do his homework for him"
she dumped him? Oooh karma for sure helped now. “Ouch. Suspended and dump harsh”
"yea-…Oh my god" she gasped
"What?"
"There is a huge spider on your hand don’t move" she replied reaching down for her shoe
I looked down to see a large wood spider sitting in the same spot as the spider from yesterday. Must be an attractive place to get bit. I swiped it off my arm and into the ground where Brooke smashed it.
“can’t be too careful.”
“afraid of spiders?”
“yeah only when they’re that close to biting you. You don’t know what kind of poison they got. Or weird after effects of poison”
that’s it. The spider yesterday that bit me. That’s the only explanation.That’s what I’m all out of whack. But I had to be sure. I needed proof. These next two days would be research.
“yeah weird after effect. Listen I have to go um clean the kitchen. But thanks for telling me the homework I’ll uh see you later” I replied trying to rush her off
her face looked confused “uh oh okay. See you later”
I ran off to my room. Well that goes on my list of times I’ve embarrassed myself exponentially in front of Brooke. Good to see I’m still a loser. When I got up to my room I snatched up my laptop and opened it. ‘Spider bites and side effects’ I tried to type but the keys ripped from my keypad before my eyes.
“what.the.hell?”
I flicked my fingers until they fell off and clicked them back into place. Another thing to add to my list. I reached over for a pad and pencil when weird sticky white string like material shot from my sleeve pulling it over. “Oh my god”
I dribbled the it on the page and went to writing. This is insanity. How am I not dreaming?
(later)
After hours of not finding anything even remotely close to what I was going through I gave up. Aunt Lydia had come home I talked with her a bit but I had left out he details of my suspension when she came up I could be punished whenever. First I had to talk with the one person who I knew could rationalize my thoughts in this time. Who else but my best friend of course.
“you think you’re part spider now?” Liam replied with tones of sarcasm in his voice.
“don’t think I know. It’s the only logical explanation”
“yeah of course. You know walking over here I got attacked by a bat. I’m just waiting for my wings to sprout ” He laughed rocking in my desk chair
“I’m serious. I’ll show you watch.” I reached out my wrist to see if the web like material would spew out but nothing
“what am I supposed to be seeing?”
” well it did it earlier”
“uh huh there spider man.”
"you don’t believe me do you?"
"no I believe you were bit by the radioactive spider and are experiencing weird side effects. But I don’t think you are becoming part spider. That’s like impossible. With all the research we did with DNA last summer for that program at uni. You should know it would be crazy to even hypothesize that." he explained twirling my pen on the table
"yeah but every hypothesis is true until proven otherwise. And I’m going to prove to you that I am"
"and if you do maybe you can become a superhero and I can be you’re very important science sidekick"
"Deal" I reached out my hand and shook his they sort of stuck
"What’s on your hands?"
"Spider powers" I replied making jazz hands
"Ughhh" he groaned.
