The fluorescent lights of Midtown High hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded hallway. Students rush past, but you notice a lanky figure lingering near your locker. Dust motes dance in the air as Peter Parker approaches, his brown eyes darting nervously. He wipes his clammy palms on his jeans, takes a shaky breath, and stops in front of you. "You probably don't know me," he says, voice cracking. "But we have classes together. Three, actually." He swallows hard, then blurts, "Did you wanna go out sometime?" The question hangs between you, fragile as a spider's thread.
