Chapter 11 : Parker on the Roof, Some Favorites

Parker's house.

Peter sat at his desk, looking over the CT image chart in his hand with a stony expression for half a second, he put down the CT in his hand and turned his gaze to the desk in front of him.

A transparent glass bottle was placed on the desk, in which a creature was wriggling. Peter reached out and brought the bottle to his eyes, scrutinizing the creature inside, which was an insect with a peacock-green shell, slowly crawling inside.

The insect in front of him was called the "Jeweled Wasp", a harmless looking metallic wasp that he had found in his backyard, and which was said to be the prototype of the Alien. But the insect in front of him was not a harmless insect, but a vicious creature like the Alien. Despite the name!

Peter opened the glass bottle and casually threw a cockroach in "Whoosh~!"

Spotting its prey, the Jeweled Wasp raised its stinger and violently pierced into the cockroach's body, the paralyzed cockroach immediately remained motionless.

Afterwards, the Jeweled Wasp moved its stinger again and stabbed into the cockroach's brain, which was like an alien stabbing its horrific mouthparts straight into a human's mouth! It is said that once the female hornet is able to control the cockroach, she will use her tentacles to guide her prey forward.

The cockroach will follow the female wasp obediently back to the nest.

The female wasp would then lay an egg on the cockroach's abdomen, after which she would remain in the nest, patiently waiting for the larvae to break out of their shells.

Putting down the glass bottle, Peter's eyes gazed out the window into the dark night.

Is he himself a cockroach in a glass bottle, or a wasp?

"Buzz~!"

Just as he was deep in thought, his cell phone suddenly rang.

The caller ID showed that the caller was Gwen Stacy. Stacy.

After a moment's hesitation, he picked up the phone

"Hey Peter, good evening."

"Good evening, Gwen."

Gwen's voice revealed worry, "You didn't come to school today, are you okay?"

"Yeah, it's okay, I was a little sick today, so I took the day off."

Peter made up a random excuse to put off the reason why he didn't go to school today.

"Well, I was going to check on you today, but again, I got held up by the school side of things, so maybe you could have let me know ahead of time, and I could have asked Miss Fish to write you a permissive note so you wouldn't be criticized by her tomorrow.

Gwen said a series of words under her breath, looking like she was keen on Peter's affairs.

"Thanks, Gwen, I might ask you for a favor next time."

Peter thanked the eager girl.

"No, I should thank you! Without you, maybe I would have fallen off the roof, maybe ..... maybe in some parallel world, that's how I fell off."

Gwen brainstormed to Peter, "After all, I do act crazy a lot, it's not a solid habit."

"Anyway, it's good to know you're okay, get an early night, good night."

"Good night."

"Beep~"

After hanging up her cell phone, Gwen left it still on the bed.

Her body then leaned back and her whole body collapsed onto the bed.

Ever since the rooftop incident, she then had complicated feelings towards Peter. The Peter she remembers is the one who is always getting the "left-handed wrench".

A left-handed wrench is a wrench that doesn't distinguish between left and right, and pranksters often use it to get people to take a left-handed wrench to make fun of others.

But ever since that night on the roof, she has felt that Peter is different from what he was before. Not in a good way, not in a bad way. But she admitted that she seemed to like the Peter on the roof better than the lackadaisical Peter of old.

"Well, I'm always rambling, and maybe dad's right, I aspire to be a rebel at heart." After muttering under her breath, Gwen took out her cell phone and turned on her music player.

As a member of the school's "Mary Janes" band. As a member of the school's "Mary Janes" band, she was unusually obsessed with rock music." Your life is like a phantom, like a forgotten mind."

"Here you are with me, you've been gone for years, I wish you'd stayed."

"The walking dead, just like the walking dead~"

Listening to his favorite rock band, Gwen's thoughts became troubled "The Walking Dead ... I've been in a bit of a state lately. I've been thinking like a phantom." she whispered as she listened to the lyrics of the song. Listening to the lyrics of the song, she muttered in a low voice.

...

The next day, early morning.

Peter had just entered the school when he stumbled upon Gwen.

"Hi Peter, good morning!"

Gwen was in a good mood and greeted Peter.

With blonde hair and delicate features, Gwen wore an open-chested baseball shirt, dressed in a youthful and beautiful manner.

"Ms. Gwen, next time you wear your school uniform, watch your dress!"

Before Peter could speak, an older, balding white man standing not far from the two of them pointed to Gwen's clothes and gave her a dress code warning.

"I will, thank you Mr. Morton for the reminder."

Gwen turned her head and smiled back.

Mr. Morton was the assistant principal of Midtown High School, whose main job was to maintain school discipline.

Gwen, who breathed a sigh of relief, turned to Peter and spat, "When Mr. Morton is disciplining students, he always wants to go for a cute John. Wayne image, but it doesn't seem to be very successful."

"John. Wayne?"

Peter realized he was having some trouble keeping up with the other man's brain circuits.

"You don't know John Wayne, Peter? Wayne, Peter? Hollywood's number one cowboy, one of the most iconic icons of American culture."

At this moment, Gwen finally felt that the Peter in front of her was somewhat like the dull Peter before.

"I know a toilet paper called John Wayne. Wayne, and the tagline is It's rough and tough, but won't get anyone in trouble."

Peter thought about it and said so to Gwen.

When Peter said there was a toilet paper called John Wayne, Gwen froze. Wayne, Gwen froze for a moment.

Then she fell into a state of glee and laughed out loud in a very unladylike manner.

"Haha, you're so coldly humorous to the point of sardonic cuteness, Peter."

Gwen held her waist and came up for air.

Peter was a bit speechless at Gwen's comment of "funny and cute", it was the first time someone had ever said that about himself.

Is this the first time someone's ever said that about him?

"Thanks for the comment, but I guess no one will think so."

Ignoring the curious glances of passing students around him, Peter said to the out of sorts Gwen, "Maybe you should do a little expression management."

"Sorry."

"Just now because it was so funny. ....." Gwen quickly adjusted her emotions and apologized to Peter.

Peter was puzzled by the girl in front of him's mesmerizing laugh and shook his head as he walked towards the school building.

"Any follow up on those thugs who tried to kidnap you?" Peter asked casually to Gwen, who was following him.

"I don't know, dad says they're from the Hand Hand Society, but it seems like they've been having some trouble lately as well."

Gwen became serious for a few moments, "They're trying to retaliate against me because of my dad's previous actions against them."

"If I ever become a superhero, these guys will be the first ones I deal with!"

Gwen said through clenched teeth with some ferocity.
