VISIONS
A slight winters breeze blew around Brooklyn, while the sun shone bright. The cars drove past with speed of people going to work, home or school, Miles was hoping to see The Spider-Man swing past and over is head but it never came true. This didn't stop him from day dreaming though, seeing the Spider-Man swing past is something he'd longed to see, but this dream never came true and as quick as he went into the day dream he'd snapped out of it by his fathers voice
"Wow theres allot of people here" Jefferson said
"allot of people entered the lottery" Rio said with a hint of positivity in her voice
"i just hope that someone who deserved to get in gets in" Miles said doubting himself
"that person being you" Rio said
"i dont know, i only enetred a lottery, i dont really think its fair" Miles said truthfully
"you passed that test just like everyone else here, weve gone over this you deserve this" Jefferson said
"No I dont i was fine at Midtown High, i dont need to go to some smart boarding school" Miles said
"you have more of a future here than you did at Midtown"
"do i really?"
"yes" Rio and Jefferson said at the same time
As they entered the huge school and made there way slowly through the huge sea of people who actually had wanted this, Miles continued to think to himself that this was a waste of time since he didnt want this, now all he had to do was hope that his number wouldn't be called as the selected 20 students who would make it. What gave him less hope was that hed not seen anyone he knew from MIdtown, not that he knew to many people just his friends Ganke, Gwen or Cassie. which none of them were here,
"there probably at Midtown right now, taking physics test which i studied weeks for" as they went forward into a large room with people already sitting and looking at the lonley table atop the stage. Then a someone walked out onto the stage an looked on at the crowd of people, sat down and picked out 5 random numbers
"16, 74, 58, 10 and 43"
MIles looked down at the number he had in his hand
"42, just listen for 42 of you dont hear it all is good" Miles said under his breathe. Another 10 had been picked up
"99, 76, 33, 55, 11, 67, 02, 14, 78, 59"
"im still in the clear" he thought to himself, the final 5 were then picked up
"22, 18, 77, 01 and finally 42" Miles heart sank, he had been chosen
"what!" Miles said with shock and confusion
"it happened! you have a chance!" Rio exclaimed with excitment
"well done Kiddo" Jefferson said
"NO! ITS NOT A WELL DONE! I DID NOTHING TO DESERVE THIS!"
"now you listen here, i told you this 10 minutes ago and ill say it again you passed that test just like everyone else in this room" Jefferson said trying not to raise his voice
"i was forced to take the test"
"look MIles, in Visons you have a chance at a future, what future do you see yourself with in Midtown?" Rio said with a calming voice
"i dont know somrthing in art"
"and im sure they have plenty of art choices at Visions if you give it a chance"
"it's not like i have a choice" Miles said defeated
As they left the building Miles couldnt help but notice the others with a slight tear in there eye and felt guilty about it , almost as if it was his fault they wont be going to Visions. He even thought about going up to them and apolgoising for what he'd done, but he didn't after all he didn't want to make the situation worse.
5 HOURS LATER
As the night grew longer, MIles traveled down to a part of town he shouldn't be familier with, and yet he is. He turned a corner and into a tall brick building with a few lights on, one of them being his uncle Aarons apartment. He ran up the stairs which every time he visted felt like they were getting longer. The blasting DJ music indicated that he was close to his uncles appartment. When he finally reached he nocked on his door and his Uncle Aaron answered
"hey Miles hows you're day been?"
"eh its been ok i guess"
"whats up i can tell soemthings up"
"its just i got into the Visions school"
"damn you got in?"
"yea and none of my friends did, not that they passed the test"
"well mabye you should use this as an opertunity to make more friends"
"mabye"
"anything else happen?"
"not really oh i drew this" as miles pulled out his art book he noticed a text from his dad and chose to ignore it
"lets see here damn this is good if it werent night id take you somewhere but it gets dangorus this time of day"
"thats a shame mabye tomorrow"
"um yea also youre not staying aslong as you did last time, you're dad was kinda pissed at me"
"well thats just him for you" Miles said as he drew in his art book and got another text from his dad
"Miles where are you? where are you?"
"im at uncle aarons"
Miles responded quickly just to get him off his back
"who was that?"
"just my dad, hes wondering where i am"
"you tell him?"
"yea"
"then we aint got long want a popsicle?"
"yea sure" as Aaron went to get the popsicles from his kitchen a spider had made its way onto miles's art book and started to walk slowly towards MIles's hand so Miles waved it away but it only caught onto Miles hand and bit which caused a huge pain in his hand, Miles felt that hed been stabbed then his head went fuzzy and he fell over the last words he heard being
"Miles you ok? MILES!!"
Fear went down Aarons spine when he realised what had happened and had a flashback to a few hours ago
7 HOURS AGO
The broken down trains litered the abandoned train station, bricks were falling and cracks were everywhere, the dampness of the area had taken a toll on the place which Mac and Herman hid
"you know what the job is Aaron you go in and kill those spiders" Mac said
"i know i dont that spider freak here either"
"good heres the images of the spiders"
Aaron then left the station with a destination being Oscorp tower which he had to sneak into and steal some spiders once he reached the tower he snuck in and climbed up the elevator shaft until he met a vent which crawled through even though the dust and tight environment made it difficult to manuver through. once he reached he stole spiders AS-1 and US-42
7 HOURS LATER
Miles awoke to his Dad and Uncle both arguing
"goddamn it Aaron you shouldve stopped him from coming you are a threat, stay away form my son"
"fine but he came here" as Miles shook his head he noticed pieces of fluff were stuck to his hands but thought nothing of it
"dad?"
"Miles are you ok? what were you doing here?"
"nothing just talking to Uncle Aaron and im fine"
"c'mon lets go this neighbourhood isnt safe"
"fine" as miles packed his things he felt bad for his uncle but his mind was quickly occupied by the fluff on his hand, why had it gotten stuck? this had stumped MIles until he'd gotten home and texted Ganke
19:55
"hey"
"hey whats up"
"idk got into the visions school"
"oh"
"sorry if you didnt want to hear that"
"it fine you told cassie?"
"no anyway something else weird happend today"

"its gunna sound crazy but a spider bit me and i went out cold then i woke up with fluff on my head and a sharp headache"
"weird mabye your're spider man he was bitten by a spider"
