Midtown High School.

Members of the Spring Ball Decoration Team are painting a giant mural.

The mural will be hung in the ball auditorium on Friday nights.

The theme of the mural is the Venetian Spring, and volunteers with artistic cells have already painted a small chalk drawing.

A beautiful phoenix-tailed boat floats on the canal in the sunset, the boatman wears a big straw hat and leans against the tiller, and the water and sky are dotted with various shades of pink and orange.

Gwen stood in front of the mural in the hallway, looking at the painting in front of her.

"This year's Spring Ball must be the prettiest ever, right? Gwen. ”

Behind her, a familiar voice sounded.

Gwen looked back and saw that it was her good friend Harry.

"Probably, for some."

Gwen said with some depression.

Her eyes were red, and she looked like she hadn't rested well last night.

In fact, it is true, last night I finally mustered up the courage to invite Peter to be his dance partner, but the other party actually hung up his phone.

What is this?

Have you been rejected?

No matter how you say it, you can be regarded as a well-known student in Midtown High School, will you not have a dance partner?

Gwen, who was in a bad mood, complained to Harry: "I've already been to a spring ball, and I don't know why this kind of thing needs a theme, as long as the dance is happy." ”

"Everything needs a ritual, and people love rituals."

Harry shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Well, you may have some truth in what you say, but I've always felt that only you high society might need some rituals."

Gwen stretched and said to the other.

"I'm not a high society."

Harry denied the label Gwen had imposed on himself.

"Come on, Harry, there are a lot of rumors about you, it is said that you have tried to burn down the aristocratic school before, and you are rich and willful, high society, which is everyone's impression of you. Everyone used to call you the Green Goblin! ”

"Green Goblin?"

Hearing the name, Harry was a little stunned.

"yes, green looks like dollars, so isn't the name Green Goblin a good fit for you?"

Gwen said as a matter of course.

Harry: "......"

The two were talking, when they were suddenly interrupted by a voice.

"Hey, Gwen."

Gwen heard her name being called and turned around.

Stocky Carl. Kim, standing in front of Gwen, said with a nervous expression, "Can I talk to you alone?" ”

Cal. Kim is Gwen's classmate, and although Gwen doesn't say a few words to the other party, she can call each other by name.

"I don't think there's anything between us that we need to worry about other people's privacy."

Gwen didn't expect the other party to take the initiative to talk to her, so she was stunned for a moment and replied.

"Okay."

Karl glanced at Harry next to him and said, "That's ...... Can I invite you to be my Spring Ball dance partner? ”

"Forehead ......"

Gwen didn't expect that the other party would offer to be her dance partner.

After thinking for less than a second, he rejected the other party.

"I'm sorry, I already have a dance partner."

"Who?"

Seeing that Gwen rejected herself, Carl. Jin blushed and asked excitedly.

This was already a very rude and self-aware behavior, and Harry next to him frowned.

"Sorry, no comment."

After saying that, Gwen turned to Harry and asked, "Harry, didn't you say that you were going to prepare for the history exam together?" Do you want to go along? ”

"Oh, good."

Harry subconsciously replied and left with Gwen.

Leaving Carl in place with an ugly expression.

"So who's your dance partner?"

Wait until you get away from Carl. After Kim, Harry asked Gwen curiously.

"Peter. Parker. ”

The devil sent God, and Gwen said Peter's name.

Originally, she was a little angry that Peter didn't directly agree to be her dance partner, but when she thought of her dance partner, the first name that came to her mind was Peter.

Anyway, he didn't refuse, maybe he was thinking about it, what's wrong with saying this himself?

She comforted herself inwardly.

Harry looked at Gwen in surprise, "Peter? I thought you guys were having a conflict lately? He's been on his own lately. ”

"Nope! It's not that he's in conflict with me, and now he and everyone are with the same expression that no one will enter. ”

Gwen said unhappily: "When you encounter something, you can digest it all in your heart, he is such a person." ”

Harry nodded, "Maybe this ball can make him happy." ”

"Maybe, sorry, I'm going to practice the dance repertoire with Betty, so...... Excuse me! ”

Gwen waved at Harry and slipped away.

Harry looked at Gwen as he slipped away, and began to look forward to Friday's Spring Ball.

"The fireworks, the dance, and the band playing 'The Star-Spangled Banner Never Falls,' not bad!"

Shrugging his shoulders, Harry glanced at the mural and headed towards the classroom.

......

Night, Stacy's house.

Gwen looked at the badly damaged spider uniform spread out on the table, and reluctantly pressed her forehead.

More and more headaches!

After the band practiced in the evening, they encountered a group of thieves on their way home.

In order to punish the thief, he was accidentally attacked by the group of guys with firearms.

Although they were all hung on street lamps, their own uniforms became scarred.

"Well, maybe a prom dress suits me better than a spider uniform."

Gwen grumbled as she looked at the spider uniform.

"Gwen, the prom dress you ordered has arrived."

Suddenly, my father's voice came from the door.

George took the courier that Gwen had ordered, and suddenly appeared at the door.

In a panic, she immediately turned around and blocked the spider uniform on the table with her body.

If the uniform is seen by Dad, it will be completely finished.

"Uh...... Thank you, Dad, you put the clothes in ...... There! ”

As Gwen spoke to her father, she quietly reached behind her waist and shoved the sleeves of her exposed spider uniform behind her back.

"The police department is busy, and the number of disappearances that have happened in Hell's Kitchen recently is increasing, and we will continue to expand the number of targets to investigate, if the killer is really related to Spider-Woman...... Maybe I won't be able to watch you guys tomorrow...... Wait a minute! ”

George, who was talking, suddenly noticed Gwen's small movements.

Confused, he walked up and asked, "What are you up to?" ”

Gwen quickly moved her body to block her father's view, trying not to let the other party see the clothes behind her.

"A little...... A little hobby. ”

Gwen was already sweating from nervousness, and her speech became stumbling.

Seeing that her identity as Spider-Woman was about to be revealed in front of her father, Gwen's brain spun wildly.

What to do?

What should I do?

Do you want to run away now?!

Although she had been praying frantically, George eventually saw the spider uniform behind her.
