The face of my best friend stared back at me through my laptop screen. Being out of the country and getting separated from Peter Parker was definitely something that I had to get used to. I had been away from New York for about a year now because of my parents’ work but just recently they had decided to move back to the States. Needless to say, I was ecstatic. My bags were packed and my room was cleaned. I was ready to go. The only thing left for me to do was tell the dork on my computer.
“Pretty good, I guess. School’s the same. Classes are going good, still getting bullied. But hey, look, I found a CPU in the dump,” Peter held up the beat up parts in front of the camera. “See, I know it looks kinda bad but I’m sure I can get it fixed. Then I can replace this hunk of junk.” As if on cue, Peter’s face flickered, a sign of his computer glitching. He groaned. I smiled.
“I don’t have a doubt that you won’t be able to fix that. You’re a genius.” I complimented him.
