After finishing the talk, the three of them stood up from the sofa, said goodbye to Mrs. Snow, and walked out of Mrs. Snow's office behind them.
Gwen looked at Hawke on the side.
"Do you need me to take you to the bio-power generation department when the time comes?"
"No, I can go by myself."
Hawke said so, and then without stopping, he carried his bag on one shoulder and walked out of the office building.
He didn't have much time left.
The afternoon class was about to start, and he had to go to the gym to take a shower first.
Peter, who followed the two out of Mrs. Snow's office, looked at Hawke's back as he left.
Hmm.
He looked at him intently.
Gwen, who had been observing secretly, suddenly spoke.
"Peter!"
"...Ah!"
Peter looked at Gwen, who had called him, with a dazed look in his eyes.
His pupils quickly focused before he came to his senses. "Gwen?"
Gwen smiled faintly. "Nothing. By the way, are you going to the grade dance this year?"
Peter smiled sheepishly. "Sorry, probably not."
If Hawke didn't go to the dance because he had no money and no date, then Peter simply didn't go because he didn't have one.
But Hawke didn't have a date because he was too lazy to find one.
If he wanted to, with his looks, physique, and the temperament honed by years of boxing training, he could easily find a willing female classmate.
Peter simply couldn't find a date.
To be more precise, who made Peter insist on hanging himself on Mary Jane's tree?
Mary Jane, Peter's neighbor, was also in eleventh grade.
Perhaps Peter thought no one knew about his secret crush on Mary Jane, but in fact, most people already knew.
After all, no one was blind. In this situation, no girl would agree to Peter becoming Mary Jane's double.
But the real Mary Jane wouldn't accept Peter's invitation to the prom.
Peter didn't want to go alone and watch the woman of his dreams dance with another man.
Gwen wasn't surprised by Peter's answer.
She and Mary Jane were friends, and when the senior prom was first confirmed, Mary Jane approached her and offered her name and her date.
Harry Osborn.
Hmm.
He fits Mary Jane's ideal boyfriend perfectly.
Gwen pondered, but didn't say much. After hearing Peter's answer, she nodded and turned to leave.
But as she turned to leave, Gwen seemed to think of something and subconsciously turned her head to glance behind her.
Peter was still standing there, staring in the direction Hawke had just left, lost in thought.
A few days later.
Suddenly, cheers erupted from Midtown High School.
It was vacation, it was vacation. The students' much-loved summer break had finally arrived.
"L, have you planned your summer vacation?"
"Yeah, let's go to Hawaii."
"Tom and I are going to Slovakia."
"Hey, Slovakia, didn't you see the news?"
"What?"
"Didn't they say a tourist disappeared in Slovakia last week?"
"Fake news. Besides, Tom and I are so strong, what could possibly happen?"
With the holiday break approaching, students headed towards the parking lot in groups of three or four, discussing their plans.
Cars started up one after another, and in a matter of moments, the entire Midtown High School seemed to have suddenly become empty.
The clamor that had previously filled the campus disappeared, except for the rhythmic pounding of the old gymnasium.
About ten minutes later,the pounding died down.
Hawke stood there, catching his breath, his eyes lowered, removing the bandages from his hands.
Although he could now hit the steel plate with his bare hands without redness, the habit, after more than a thousand days, had become so strong that he still bandaged himself between punches.
Just as Hawke removed the bandage, his eyebrows raised.
The next second,a voice boomed from behind.
"It's said that this gymnasium will be turned into a swimming pool next semester."
"...Peter."
Hawke turned and looked at Peter, who stood not far away with a face resembling Maguire. "It's not just said, it's true."
Peter smiled, but said nothing.
This was another reason why Hawke liked the original Spider-Spider-Man.
Compared to the slightly chatty Amazing Spider-Man and the extremely chatty Holland Tech Spider-Man, he preferred the original Spider-Spider-Man's reserved nature.
Just like him.
Talented but reserved.
Not good with words.
Hawke pondered, then shoved the bandages back into his pocket and looked at Peter.
"You didn't come here today just to tell me that this gymnasium is going to be turned into a swimming pool, did you?"
Peter quickly shook his head. "No."
"What is that?"
"Uh..."
Peter started to speak, but the words retreated, looking at Hawke hesitantly.
Hawke smiled.
He looked at Peter, who seemed hesitant to speak, but remained silent.
Instead, he headed for his backpack, slung it over his shoulder bag, and headed outside.
"Happy summer vacation, Peter."
"Swish!"
Hawke, almost reaching the door, heard a sound like a spider spinning silk.
He turned and threw out his right fist.
Peter, whose spider sense was shooting out from a distance, instinctively moved aside.
The next second...
"Bang!"
A bench in the old gymnasium suddenly cracked in the middle.
Peter's eyes widened as he watched the shattered bench.
Hawke then plucked the spider silk clinging to his shoulder bag.
It was sticky.
He shook it several times before it finally cleared.
Peter had regained his composure and looked back at Hawke.
"Hawk, you too..."
"I'm not,"
Hawke looked up and interrupted Peter.
The reason he can have the strength he has today is because of his unremitting struggle and hard work day after day.
Of course.
Among them, the plug-in may have played a role.
But not much.
Hawke firmly believes that even without the plug-in, he can still awaken the small universe.
Yes.
Anyway, the plug-in has left now and has no say, so there is nothing wrong with what he said.
But this is not the real reason why he interrupted Peter.
Hawke gave Peter a look.
Peter, who has spider sense, understood it instantly.
Hawke smiled slightly.
"Have a good summer vacation, Peter, see you next semester."
"...Okay, see you next semester."
Peter took back what he wanted to say this time and responded.
Hawke stopped talking, turned around and walked out of the gym.
Then he looked at Gwen outside the door, a hint of surprise flashed across his face: "Gwen?"
Gwen: "..."
