Dear diary,
Today I met a cute boy. I never got his name, but he was around my age. I was on patrol and I saw him walking down the street with a little girl, maybe around 12 years old. I think she was his little sister. Her name was Abby. I watched him them for a little bit to make sure he they would be okay, since it was dark and there weren’t very many people there as witnesses if something did happen. Just incase.
A little bit after that, while I was still watching him them from the rooftops and doing patrol, I saw a man following them. He looked pretty tall, and strong, and scary, but nothing I couldn’t take! I waited a couple minutes to be sure, but he was definitely following them. Kinda like I was, but in a more creepy I’m-gonna-kill-you way. I read a report about stuff like that. According to that, people don’t usually go after girls when they have someone with them. I guess not.
At first I didn’t think the boy noticed him, but then I saw him pull the girl, Abby, closer and wrap his arm around her shoulders. He did it really smoothly too, like he was just messing around with her. It was kinda sad to see. You can tell he had a lot of practice with that move. It reminds me of Uncle Ben, how protective he was.
The boy flinched when I landed behind him, but he still kept walking. I heard him whispering to the girl about staying calm and not stopping. He was so quiet that I probably couldn’t have heard him without superhearing. I don’t think he knew that it was someone coming to save him.
The man tried to make excuses. “I wasn’t going to do anything!” “I swear, my house is this way!” He was lying. I could tell by his heartbeat. Daredevil taught me that one! Superhearing 1, creepy-dude-on-the-street 0.
After I took him down, which was surprisingly easy, I found the boy and girl near the end of the street, just kinda staring. The first thing the girl said was “Omigosh! You’re Spider-Man!!!! I’m Abby. Thank you for stopping him! I was really kinda scared.” I remember it word for word because she said it really loud.
Then the boy kicked her. It was kinda funny to see her stick her tongue out at him. Sometimes I wish I had a sibling to do that with. It reminded me of M.J. The boy told Abby to stop being annoying. She made some sarcastic comment that I didn’t hear because I was too busy staring at him and he laughed. I think I’m in love with his voice.
I made sure they got home okay. The boy was pretty quiet the entire time, but Abby talked a mile a minute, like Happy says I do. She was a pretty smart girl. She’s in 6th grade, she told me.
I dropped them off at the front of an apartment building that the boy said they lived at. I’m pretty sure Abby wanted to say something, but he kicked her again. He said thank you with this little smile that made me smile too before I left. It was almost 11 when I got home, which would usually be okay, but it’s a school night. May’s going to be mad when she realizes I’m here…
Goodnight,
Spidey
p.s. I’m going to try and find Abby and her brother again. Abby actually asked for an autograph, so I’m going to try and find a good picture of me in my suit to give to her. Mr. Stark probably has one.
