I found myself gaining my eyesight but it all still felt a little blurry so I swung away with my spidey sense on and it made me reach a building.
I opened my eyes to find that it was Billie's place, we went on a date once, and that too for a pretty normal place because YouTube didn't pay me yet.
I turn around only to see Billie looking at me like a deer caught in the headlights with her hands full of SPAM. What the fuck is she going to do with spam I mean cook it?
I ask exactly that "How would you cook spam?" she looks afraid for some reason and that's when I remember that I am still in costume. Eh whatever we can't have all of it I guess, so let's just wing it.
"Uuuuuh did Peter not come by today?" she looks surprised as she asks me "You know him?" I nod as I say "yeaaah, he stops by here and waits for you so we talk whenever I have free time" She looked surprised as she said "Sooo you know about me" I nod and say "he did mention your situation and told me to not interfere" she looked skeptical as she said "and you listened?" I rub the back of my head and tell her "he is the only one I can talk to and you aren't doing anything harmful so."
She nods and sits down, right as Susan and Bang take the spam and move to their rooftop house? Storage? Whatever.
"Tell Peter I said hi," I say and jump away into an alley. I change my costume and go back to talk to
Billie as if me knowing Spiderman was a normal thing.
"Hey," I say as I approach Billie with a smile. she turns to me and jumps into my arms and bites my ear really, really hard "AARGH" She backs off and kisses me on the cheek before declaring "The next time you meet a vigilante you are going to tell your girlfriend." I nod in fear of another ear bite before I kiss her again.
We separate and I bop her nose with mine as I say "It's a holiday the day after tomorrow and we can make the music video" She looks at me coyly and says "Oh really" "Hmm hmm" We both sit down and talk about how the video would be and what she would be wearing and all of that.
"Isn't that going to be costly as hell?" Billie asks me so I tell her "Tomorrow is the end of the month remember? I am going to be rich in..."
"... right about now" My phone rings rights as I say that. I take out my phone and look at the message with a signature smirk of superiority at my timing.
I open the message and freeze on the spot....I get up and move to the middle of the building before I yell at the top of my lungs "WOAAAHHHHH" Billie laughs as she asks "What happened, you weirdo?" I look at her with joy in my eyes and lift her up (a little too high) and spin her around before shouting at her "I got rich as fuck" I show her the message displayed on my phone.
/$90,000 has been credited into your bank account no 9278*********/
She looks at me in surprise and asks "Isn't that lower than it should be?" I stop my celebration and say "Well that's because that is the pay for only the first video" Her mouth makes a giant O as she shouts "Holy shit" We talk for a little more before I head home.

I got back home and changed out of my costume before knocking on the door it was opened by V so I ask her "Where are May and Ben" She walk up the stairs as I follow her.
"They went on a date," she says as we enter my room "Wait really?" I ask surprised as uncle ben isn't the type to do something like that without any special occasion.
"Yeah, I had to force uncle ben to make him even consider doing it." that makes sense at least "What about the spy watch is it working?" The spy watch is something I made yesterday to keep track of the locations of all the transmitters I hid around gang hideouts.
It also has this nifty little feature that makes it so that it notifies me whenever someone talks near them. Why does V get to have it you ask? Well, she became the beta tester so that if it explodes my nightly escapades wouldn't be stopped by the injury.
Freeloaders have to pay for themselves somehow am I right "Hey I am not a freeloader anymore, I pay rent now" I look at her in alarm as I question her "How did you know what I was thinking?" She looks at me in disgust as she says "Your grin gives it away whenever your ego grows too big" Then she 'humphs' as she puts the watch in my hand.
I was about to yell at her to tell me whether it was good or not but she yells from the stairs "IT WORKS" so I nod to myself and wear the watch before I hit the bed.
I woke up the next day with the rays of the sun hitting my face with just enough intensity to make me wake up without stinging my eyes, the orange glow of the sun makes my room glow like the shimmery sunrise illuminating the seas, mountains, and cities in its glorious light.
' heh who am I kidding ' I open my eyes to the death rays of the sun blinding my world and plunging me into the darkness called light. I will forever lie in the darkness for I have seen too much light. The throes of an angel have been understood by me and for they live too close to god and he can't fucking shut down the goddamn curtains. "AAARGHH"
"Don't act like a baby dude it's just some sunlight" said V as I could hear her footsteps receding out of the room.
Now, I know that my eyes can withstand a much higher intensity of light from yesterday's cat flash grenade but why am I so sensitive to light right now? I rub my eyes to get used to the glare of the sun before getting ready for school.
I have my breakfast as I ask Aunt May "Sooooooo, how was the date?" Aunt May looks up as she blushes while Uncle Ben says "Oooh it went well alright, even got me a 'reward' for being a gentleman" Me and V groan collectively as we try to get the image of his 'reward' out of our minds "Why did you have to put it like that?" I say and V bemoans "I gave you a little too much confidence uncle ben".
Uncle Ben just laughs as Aunt May hits him on his shoulder coyly I look at V and we both gag at their open display of intimacy and laugh at the absurdity of our situation.
I wiped my mouth after completing my food and get up as I say goodbye to my family and yes that included V(reluctantly) but right as I was about to V yelled "Wait for a second for me" I looked behind me to find V rushing down the stairs with a school bag.
"What?" I ask her, confused, and she answers "I joined your school" I look at her with horror on my face as I asked "Why the fuck would you do that?" she looks at me in surprise as she says "I am just joking, I gotta go to a few classes to avoid the CPS from trying to claim my ass". I look at her in confusion as I ask "Aren't your parents rich?" I walk towards the bus and she follows while answering "Well just because they are rich doesn't mean they can fight the CPS".
I turn to her as we reach my stop and tell her "Your 'parents' definitely can stop the CPS from taking you away, they just want you to have a degree" I know it probably wasn't her parents, it could be a really fond butler or someone who thinks it's in her best interest.
She looks at me like a person discovering that their entire life was a lie as she yells "I am so gonna kick Frankie's ass" I look at her as I ask "Who's Frankie?" she answers back in a frustrated way "He's my caretaker, butler, nanny and all the other things" 'I was right then'.
The bus arrives and right behind it, is her personal bus, a limo. We both go our ways and I ask Ned as soon as he enters the bus "Did you make it yet?" he looks at me in annoyance as he says "It isn't an easy task, it needs time and patience" I ask him in desperation "is there a way to make it faster?" he gives me a deadpan as the days "yes there is a way if you want the entire thing to blow up" I shake my head no as I cringe at the thought of all of it failing.
"Are your hacker friends helping you any?" I ask ignoring those morbid thoughts and he answers "As soon as they heard you were gonna pay they started working their asses off" Well that fills me with confidence and yes I did tell him to hire people when he asked me yesterday as I was going to get the money today anyway.
We reached school and Ned went his way to his girlfriend, I wish Billie and I can make that video soon so that I can give her money without making her feel like she is taking money from me.
I was just about to reach my class when I heard "YO I heard Dr Connor's became a lizard".
