It wasn't long after, that Jane came back with for her a cup of tea, and for me surprisingly, a cup of hot chocolate. "One thing I learned from your story, you like drinking hot chocolate." She explained herself. "Thank you, Jane."

"Okay so, we had to present our project together on Wednesday of that week, and already while going to the front of the room, I heard everyone making fun of me and feeling bad for Gianna since she had to spend time with me. And, this made me question if Gina actually liked spending time with me, or if it was more of a prank. But as I stand in the front, and slightly looked to my right where she was standing, I saw her sending me a nice smile, to reassure me, that she really liked it. So, I moved on from that little moment of self-doubt, and we started with our presentation." I said, smiling remembering back to that day.

I was standing in front of our classroom. Left behind me, hung on to the wall, is the whiteboard, with on it, our presentation poster, a big A3 paper, with in the middle a print of black widow and her logo behind her. Left of the whiteboard, Gianna is standing, ready to present her part. "Ladies and gentlemen, today we are here, to present to you the hero's journey, of Marvel hero, Black Widow, in honor of her death." I started, and Gianna took over. "First off, for all those of you who don't know who black widow is, she was part of the avengers, and a formal Russian spy named Natasha Romanoff. In the comics, she was trained in the red room. But her journey began when she got hired by S.H.I.E.L.D.S." And with that, I took over again. "Natasha's call to adventure was when Nick Fury needed help to take back the tesseract, of fellow northern god and trickster, Loki, who also took control of some S.H.I.E.L.D.S agent," I said, pointing to a picture of the tesseract. Then I looked up, right into Gianna's eyes, and waited for her to continue. "The second step of someone's hero journey is assistance, black widow gets this when she was sent by Nick Fury to find the incredible hulk, for the avengers initiative. The third step is a departure, which happens when Natasha and the others decide to go fight." "Black Widows trial is when she is challenged to fight against her best friend, who is being mined controlled by Loki. She finds an approach to the problem when she found out how the portal opened through which the chitauri passed, and how to close it again." I retook the speech and showed the class the picture of the chitauri that we glued onto our poster. "Crisis is when Black Widow is about to close the portal but Iron man flies into it with a missile that was headed for New York, because she has to decide when to close it. Luckily, Tony Stark still got out of the portal before it closed." Gigi took over again, and while she spoke, I couldn't help myself but look at her. I can't believe that she actually at least kind of liked working with me. And she finished, I took over again. "The result of her entire hero's journey was, that the avengers were recognized as heroes, but got blamed for all the destruction created. Then, she begins her new life as a hero. She still works for S.H.I.E.L.D but is now part of the avenger's initiative, and is ready to fight again any day, against any threat that comes." I said, letting Gianna finish off. "This was Black Widows hero journey, at least in the first avengers' film. I hope that you liked it, and in case there was someone in here that never saw the movies, I hope, this convinced you to do so."

"The presentation went on smoothly. After class, I wanted to go see if Gigi wanted to maybe like hang out that week, but sadly, there were others around. Well, at least I hope that it is because of that that she refused and wasn't the nicest to me." I continued telling miss Fletcher. "At the end of the day, she wrote me to ask if we could do something that weekend. I asked her if she wanted to come to a sleepover to watch some movies, and she loved that idea. So, we did meet up that Friday, after school at my house. My brother was there too, but he fell asleep really quickly. Around midnight, we decided that we should go to my room so that we wouldn't wake anyone watching one more movie. Arrived in my room, we talked a bit more, something normal girls just do when having a sleepover. And at the end, we might or might not have a kiss." I told her. "You might or might not? Elaborate on that." She asked me. "Okay, we definitely kissed. But it was just a second or so, and when we separated, I saw Sophia standing next to my bedroom window. As our gazes locked, she runs away. I ran after her, because, it was all just a big misunderstanding. I managed to get to her at the playground we always spend time together since our childhood. There she told me that I was a freak and that it is wrong. She didn't even want to listen to me as I told her that it was a misunderstanding and that the kiss didn't mean anything. In the end, she even slapped me, but I mean, it's kind of my fault. So, I left her and went back home. There I got into a huge argument with Gianna, till I told her to leave, and that it was better if we didn't talk anymore." I leaned back into the couch closing my eyes for a bit. Talking about all of this is really exhausting. "As she left, I decided it would be the best to go to sleep, but I couldn't sleep all night, which is why I was here already before the library opened, I just, needed to get my head off of all this. I really think that I lost the only two people that didn't mind spending time with me." "So, first of all, I don't mind spending time with you, even to I am way older than you, second of all, maybe, now that you talked about it you might be able to sleep. Try it, because you really do look exhausted. But what I can tell you, is that from what you told me, it sure does look like you really like that Gigi girl." She told me while standing up. "But now, lie down on the couch and try to sleep." And with that, she left. And I did what she wanted me to, I tried to sleep, and to my confusion, sleep came fast, and I passed out exhausted.

I was sitting on my bed, and looking at Gianna while she answered me the question of if she liked someone at the moment or not. But I didn't hear her answer, because I couldn't help to stare at her. How come she is so beautiful, and still willing to spend time with me. She the most popular girl in school, and I'm just the ugly nerd no one really likes. "Hey. Beth, are you even listening to me?" "Yeah, of course, I am." "Well then, what did I just say?" "Okay, I wasn't really listening, sorry." "You don't have to excuse yourself, just, what was on that beautiful mind of yours?" "Nothing" I quickly blurted out. I can't possibly tell her that I was staring at her body, and her eyes, and her hair, and just, her. "And you're gone again." "Sorry, sorry. I am here now." "Good, because I asked you if you like someone at the moment, but I guess, I got my answer, because, from the amount of blush I can see on your face right now, I would guess he was on your mind just now." There's no he, I thought for myself, just you. "Hey Gigi, did you like, ever kissed someone?" "Yeah, I did. Last year at some dumb party, it wasn't anything special or anything. And you?" "Not yet." As I said that, I saw how she started to lean in, and I couldn't help but lean in too. It didn't take long till our lips touched, but it did feel like it. And then, the moment is here, my lips touch Gianna's lips.

Suddenly, I woke up. Why did I dream about the kiss, and why did it feel so good now that I think about it? Maybe I do actually like her, maybe that was the problem. "Oh, you're awake again." Miss Fletcher said. "You slept for like five hours straight." "I think, you might be right." "About what?" "About me having feelings for Gianna." "Well then, I would suggest you talk to her the next time you see her. But now, I would go back home, I'm sure your parents are already wondering why you aren't home yet. It's nearly lunchtime." She told me. And I did exactly that. I went home, and spend the rest of the weekend wondering about what to do next.
