Of course she walked in looking sad; she was expecting a verbal beating of massive proportion. He wanted to protect the city and her and she allowed not only herself but Harry to be in harm’s way. “Hello…” She said softly as she kicked off her shoes at the door like normal and walked inside. Placing her book bag gently down on the coffee table she turned to him, her hands slid into the pockets of her jeans, she turned her innocent blue gaze up to him, lips pressed tightly together as he began to talk.

Her heart sank lower and lower in her chest; sure she could have done this to Spider-Man had she not known it was Peter, that would have qualified as ignorance on her part for ‘putting herself in harm’s way’ but not only did she know it was Peter but she also knew how important she was to him. So it could easily be considered her not taking his feelings into account about the situation. Her stomach began to turn when he mentioned about her not being in his life. He really did care about her, he really did love her and she didn’t want him to go through something like that because of her. Her eyebrows rose slowly when he acknowledged that it wasn’t her fault, that wasn’t something she was expecting, a small nod lifted and fell her head as she agreed that she did try to convince Harry to change his mind and that he was just glad she was safe.

She suddenly felt lighter as he began to get more playful with her, his laughter made her laugh and she returned the twinkling gaze with that of her own, her body slid into his arms, resting gently against him as her wrapped rested gently on his shoulders and her hands played delicately with his hair. “Well I keep hearing about the mop and, while I try not to be the jealous type, I need to remind you why you need to like me and not her.” She said with a nod as her hands slid down from his hair to his neck and slowly down his back, gently touching him with her fingertips. “But the biting my lip thing is out of my control… most of the time… like at school. It’s not my fault I find you attractive that I can’t control my nervous and flirty impulses.” With that she bit down on her lower lip, giving him an innocent yet playful look up at him before letting it go. “Though that one, I did on purpose.”

Lexi’s buried herself in her burger as Harry went on and on to Peter, though she swallowed a laugh by swallowing a bite of her food when Harry would look at Peter in a shocked manner as he guessed what happened over and over again. She groaned a little into her burger when he tried to make it sound like it was her idea. “My idea was to get the food not to go there. Geeze.” She rolled her blue eyes rather dramatically before giving Peter a twinkling playful look. Yeah she wasn’t lying but the two of them had their secrets from Harry and it was understandable as to why.

The day was long and boring, and Lexi was dreading her talk with Peter. It wasn’t her fault. Her mom picked her up from school and took her home before she showered and changed out of the dress into a pair dark blue jeans and a black t-shirt before running out the door with her book bag over her shoulder. “Going to study at Peter’s, be back tonight!” She called out through her house before slamming the door and walking to his place. The sun was shining and the day was bright and she had a feeling that Aunt May would cook some form of big happily meal to celebrate her two favorite kids being together. She would stop every now and then while walking and look around her. Sometimes one just can’t shake the feeling they’re being watched. A shrug lifted her shoulders as she continued on her walk.

Arriving at Peter’s seemed to take forever then again, she was taking her time not really looking forward to the lecture she might receive. There were no cars on the block of his house since most people were still at work and even Aunt May seemed to be out. A small sigh left her as she walked up the stairs and knocked on the door. Her weight shifted from her left foot to her right as she ran her small hand through her thick black hair and pressed her full soft pink lips together, the smell of the vanilla perfume floated lightly in the air around her. She was ready to face the music but hopefully, it wasn’t too bad.

“Yes yes I know he’s great and amazing and helps anyone in whatever way he can but we really need to go!” Lexi said in an argumentative tone. Oh she could feel the lecture now, ‘why did you go there you knew it was dangerous?’, ‘how come you let him talk you into it?’, ‘Didn’t you try to talk him out of it?’. Oh the questions that would come as Peter wagged his finger in disappointment at her. Groaning she gave Harry another hard pull, barely getting the much larger version of her friend to stumble as he stared back at the stadium.

The thud behind them made her jump as well as she turned around, wide eyed to see Spider-Man on the hood of the car. A large smile curled over her full lips as she and Harry waved good bye to him as he shot off. She then turned back to Harry and gave him another pull. “Spider-Man or not, you didn’t give me time to even eat my lunch, for that you owe me a trip to McDonald’s. No but’s now start driving!” Harry tried to argue but the look on Lexi’s face said he wasn’t going to win and he just groaned and climbed into the driver’s seat waiting for her to get buckled in before they took off.

McDonald’s wasn’t busy but Harry’s radio was exploding about Spider-Man and Harry was no different. The ‘did you see this’, ‘did you see that’, ‘can you believe he did this’, ‘wasn’t it shocking when he did that’ was just as bad as the people on the radio and all Lexi could do was laugh as he freaked out and nod in agreement. Harry insistented on buying her a lunch and even got something for Peter, per Lexi’s insistence saying that the boy was a bottomless pit and if they didn’t get him something he’d eat all of her fries. While that was true, it also came up for two more reasons. One being that he was probably hungry after everything he just did and two being that she could present it as some form of ‘I’m so sorry!’ gift and hopefully his lecture wouldn’t be too bad.

Pulling out her phone, she texted Peter upon their arrival back at campus. Hey we’re back, meet you back at the tree we were under. Gotcha something. Xoxo. With that clicked her iPhone into the lock screen and slid it back into her purse as she walked with the bag of food and two sodas in her hands back towards the sitting area behind the school where they had been before.

People were frantically running out of the stadium when Harry and Lexi pulled out. “Harry this isn’t a good id…” Before she could finish her sentence, Harry was off, running into the stadium and pushing pass people. “Damnit…” She muttered under her breathe as she took off after her friend.

Inside the scene displayed was rather surprising. In fact, even Lexi was hypnotized by the Giant cyborg looking robots that had dropped down and began throwing things at Spider-Man. “Whoa.” The two friends said at the same time, Lexi’s whoa for the types of gadgets this Mysterio guy had and Harry’s whoa at what Spider-Man was doing to dodge and deflect the objects being thrown. Now… well somehow a cyborg decided to take a liking to them and throw something in their direction. God Peter was going to be mad at her that she let Harry come here. Oh she was going to get it tonight.

Being tackled to the ground wasn’t anything knew for Lexi, not after recent events with Spider-Man so when he rolled off of them she gave a laugh at his corny joke, only to hear Harry laughing harder. She rolled her eyes slightly but found that she too sat on the ground and watched Peter in action. When he lined himself up like a batter, she couldn’t help but laugh and even applauded slightly but when he hit the fish and it turned into a small box with a lens on it, Harry and her gave the same reaction, their heads jerked back in surprise and eyes went wide. Quickly, Lexi got to her feet, grabbing Harry by the collar of his shirt. “Great you’ve seen him, now can we go before we either get hurt, get arrested or Spider-Man kicks our butts for even staying as long as we did?!”

She gave a yank onto Harry’s collar, he finally got to his feet and she took him by the hand and pulled him out of the stadium and to the car. “You said you could interview Spider-Man right?”

“Well yeah, if he has time he swings by but I don’t know when the next time I’ll hear from him is.” She said with a nod as she kept pulling him closer and closer to his car, obviously; he wasn’t having it and using his larger frame to keep himself in place.

“If I wanted to ask him some questions of my own.”

“Well I can take a few of them they just can’t be personal, we need to respect his privacy… and we need to get back to school!!” Lexi said giving him another hard pull on his forearm but he didn’t seem to budge. “Seriously Harry get in the car, we need to go.” But he wasn’t listening, he was too focused on seeing Spider-Man.
