The group eventually dies down after about 5 minutes. Everyone from their sophomore year had at least replied once or twice, the sound of notifications could be heard nearly everywhere around the cafeteria.
Betty sighed.
Beside her was Jason Ionello and there's Cindy Moon right across from her.
“Look, Betty. If you want to talk to the kid so bad, then do it,” commented Jason.
“Yeah, how hard can it be anyway?” added Cindy.
Betty rolled her eyes.
“If you don't talk to him first then I will,” someone said while she walked towards the three of them.
“Well, if it isn't our Cheer Team's leader, miss Abigail Bennet. I didn't know you got your eyes on Parker, Abby.” Betty smirked.
“Dude, everyone got their eyes on Parker, even the upperclassmen and underclassmen. It’s not even a year yet for us in the sophomore year,” Abby giggled.
“Oh well, that’s true I guess.” Said Betty.
“Now, then I'll see you from here while you'll go your way just right there and have a nice talk with Parker. If you fail, then I will be delighted to finish your mission,” said Abby.
“I'm eating puddings,” Betty sighed.
The three raised their eyebrows, confused by what the girl just said.
“It means that something might happen and if I may drop my puddings on him, I'll be done for.” Betty finished her sentences.
Cindy, Jason, and Abby looked even more confused than they were before. Which made Betty roll her eyes once again.
“Can't you see that damn hoodie he's wearing? That single thing might've cost my whole future college money. Man's got some money,”
With that, everyone understood. They stopped talking right after.
“You will not believe what I just saw!” Everyone sighed. The girl's name is Katherine Flint and she is the girl of the year that people would avoid once she says the sentence of "You will not believe what I just saw!" yeah, like that. Every time she told people what she just 'saw' things ended up bad for everyone.
Last year, she got the whole year to detention because she 'saw' their principal talking to his phone while saying “I love you, baby,” with the whole smoochy lips and kisses sounds. She told what she saw to everyone in the group chat named THIS IS A NO MORE ACTIVE GROUP CHAT which brought the whole people in it, to detentions.
Turns out that the principal was only talking to his 2-months-old puppy.
“Oh, come on, don't be like that... It was a one-time thing!” said Katherine, she pouted.
Everyone rolled their eyes. Yes, they do know that Katherine is a nice, humble, and friendly person. But, still...
“No, but guys. This is big news, this is serious, and this is the real thing. I asked for the confirmation in the administration downstairs, and she said it’s true!!! Seriously,” said Katherine excitedly.
“Okay, fine. What is it, Kath?” asked one of many people on their table, Jeremy William.
“Yay! Okay, so for a fun fact, Midtown High is a STEM school where it’s really hard for students to apply for, right?” said Katherine, pointing out the obvious. Which made everyone around her sigh.
“Just get to your point, Katherine.” Hurried Jack Ram, he’s that kind of guy that’s incredibly low in the factor of patience.
“What I’m trying to say, is that we’re going to have a new student, in the middle of the year! Isn’t that exciting… and sketchy?” Katherine grinned widely.
“It happened last year too, right? The twins Isaac and Ian, in our middle of freshman year. It turns out that they’re just some dudes who’ve got rich ass parents who barged their way in. Don’t get your hopes up,” Jeremy rolled his eyes.
“And- why should we trust you anyway?” continued Jack.
“Because like I said earlier, I’ve already asked the administration and they confirmed it. And we don’t know the truth, because MJ got here at the beginning of the sophomore year, right? She’s a-ma-zing. You know that,” said Katherine.
“Well Kath, we’ll see. And let’s just hope that the person who’s going here will not be one of Thompson’s goons,” Olivia Zayn, the girl that’s been listening to the whole conversation finally opens her mouth.
Everyone nodded, they agreed. They don’t want another Flash running out of the hall anymore.

Peter heard every single conversation inside the cafeteria, perks of being bitten by a radioactive spider, obviously. Students are talking about their love life, how bad and great their grades are, annoying teachers, annoying classmates, annoying seniors and juniors, a new student gossip, basically everything.
Peter shrugged; he didn’t care.
Yeah, he didn’t.
Until an unknown male (with black sunglasses and a white face mask) enters the cafeteria. Here in Midtown, everyone knows everyone. That includes Peter as well. Even though he rarely talks to others, he could tell who’s who from their faces. Peter still hardly remembered their names, but it’s better than nothing, right?
The whole cafeteria that was filled by sophomore students stared at the person weirdly, thinking whether the boy’s a threat or not. Because just last month, an unknown woman entered one of the seniors’ class, turns out she was a burglar (with a knife) trying to hide from the cops, (someone called 911 after she tried to stab the teacher on duty, everyone’s safe though).
The person opens his face mask and sunglass, dramatically, Peter might add. Peter didn’t see his face, instead, he rolled his eyes, not caring about anything again. He continued eating his sandwich.
“Peter!!!!!!!!!”
KATHERINE FLINT
it’s called Harley Keener!
