My name is Peter Parker, and I'm frankly so done with everything. You would think that being murdered once, and then reincarnating into another world as a genius nerd with the worst fucking luck ever... And that's before I got bitten by the spider.
Uncle Ben and Aunt May are fine, thank God, although it has been harder and harder for me to see them still working, which is why I got a shitty job as a photographer and tutor to help pay the bills plus some internet side hustles, even when it's cutting Spider-Man time.
I've been Spider-Man for the last five years, having started a bit younger than other Peter Parkers as a thirteen year old super hero, with no guidance, no mentors, just my own wits and meta knowledge.
Could've gone to college early if uncle Ben and May didn't believe it would do me no good to be an early bloom. At least I know for a fact that colleges will accept me with scholarships due to my high GPA and all of the things I've done to make my resumé more impressive. Or at least that's what I'm hoping for, it seems that every single venture attempt of mine comes empty handed.
Hero-ing is also getting a bit difficult, with Jonah screwing me over, the population is against me, and the few hours I can spend being Spider-Man are certainly not helping. Which is to say the least about my ever growing amount of villain gallery, and the fact that they've began to work together for my annoyance.
Have yet to get any Super hero team-ups too; Actually, I don't think I've seen any other super hero outside of the Fantastic Four, who are never doing anything here since they keep exploring other dimensions instead, and the Avengers, who are 'too big' to think of the common burglary.
Which means it all falls to me, and no one sees any issue in blaming me instead of asking of the other heroes for accountability. Fucking Jameson, you know? I blame him because he puts so much spotlight on my ass that people just forget the others existed.
...I mean, Sentry sometimes helped, but then one day the guy just disappeared and everyone happened to never mention him, so I'm assuming that he did that thing where everyone forgot about him. That happened four years ago when I was barely a beginner.
The X-Men exist, but they're pretty much hiding at Xavier's school. Which you can't blame me for not knowing they were a thing until last year, it's not like you can tell there's anyone inside.
Sometimes I go there and try to shout at them telepathically, it's not supposed to serve any purpose and it's just me being annoying. Shame really because as far as I'm aware, I'm supposed to be friends with a ton of mutants, but hey, if nothing's ever going to happen, what am I supposed to do? Fucking Parker luck.
The best way to never get implicated into any kind of drama is simply to not be related to anyone ever.
Sure, it may sound depressive as hell, and in fact, it certainly looks that way from any other perspective than mine, but the matter of fact is that everyone here is problematic as hell.
Flash Thompson, my biggest bully and admirer, not that he knows I'm Spider-Man. Barely talk with the dude as it is, which is great for me since he's an asshole.
Carl King, even bigger asshole, and now, averted villain, as I've made sure to dispose of the damn spider after it had bitten me and Cindy. Speaking off.
Haven't really seen Cindy, honestly, I don't really like her from the comics, nor the random retcons about her being the important one instead of Spider-Man. Just feels like it was one of the decisions to make Peter look lesser than all the other Spider people in 616.
Randy? A dick too, ignored. Sally Avril? Dumbass, haven't tried to be a hero yet. Liz? Ignored because her brother is a super villain and I don't want that mess. Harry and Gwen? Never approached me, so I haven't approached them either... Not that I would in the first place.
Mary Jane? No fucking way I'm meeting up with her. I'm so sick and tired of the stupid melodrama that MJ and frankly everyone else causes, that I'm just ignoring everyone.
Who cares if MJ is dating Paul? Who cares if Gwen decided to have sex with Norman? Who cares if Sally Avril decides to try be a super hero for a few months before getting killed? Well, the last one I do because of my motto, but otherwise? I don't.
With Great Powers come Great Responsibilities, but that doesn't mean I have to cater to every single damn issue in this fucking universe as if there aren't several other super heroes who are in a better condition than me.
Which comes back to why I'm done with everything.
"I'm not going to be tutoring Liz, I'm busy with my job." I told the teacher, who looked pensive while the blonde girl was staring a hole in my head. I would remind her that she isn't Cyclops, but she wouldn't get it.
"I apologize Peter, I wasn't aware that you had gotten a job. This is fine with the school, right? I remember some schools banning students from getting a job, but I don't recall if this applies here." Thankfully not, or else I would've fucked off from Midtown High... actually, that may have been better than staying here.
"Not at all sir, but from afternoon to the night, I'm all booked out. I don't have the time to help Elizabeth and I can't just cancel what I already have." Because I don't like her, and I'm not getting paid, my time is either for work or Spider-Man.
"I see, do you mind me asking what your job is?" I shrugged, nothing to lose here anyways.
"I am tutoring, but it's mostly kids and pre-teens, with a few teenagers and some adults, plus some small time gigs on the internet." I try to keep it low that I'm the guy taking Spider-Man pictures, easier on my Peter self.
"I see, very well Peter." He said as I left, almost barking a laugh as I saw Liz almost burning up in anger. I don't even know why she was angry. Did she actually want me teaching her? Or is it because I rejected her in the first place?
Don't know, don't care, I will just keep living my not so comfortable life and figure it out later.
I lied, I won't. As this doesn't actually interest me in any way.
Peter Parker can't have any issues because I already have too much as Spider-Man. I don't have the time to handle two issues at once. Maybe once I'm out of school.
Or not. Probably not.11Please respect copyright.PENANAyDj75hpEVG
