Chapter 3

Chapter 3 Gwen stood alone in the bookstore. She thought, Well, that was rude! Gwen Stacy knew Peter better than most people did. She knew he was generous. She knew he was helpful. She even knew he was Spider-Man!* The Peter who didn't have time to help his friend was not the Peter she knew. Gwen did not like this one bit. There were many people in Gwen's life on whom she could rely. She was the drummer in a totally awesome

all-girl rock band called the Mary Janes, and her bandmates were like sisters. Her dad was the coolest. And she could always rely on herself. But Gwen's relationship with Peter was special. Not only did she know his secret, but he also knew hers.

Gwen had been bitten by a radioactive spider just like the one that bit Peter. Like Peter, she also developed super powers. Wall-climbing? Check. Super strength? Of course. Web-shooters? Do you even need to ask? With these powers, Gwen began to fight crime. She and Spider-Man even teamed up from time to time.

And okay, sometimes Peter could be a little bit of a know-it-all. Just because he had been a Spider-Person longer than she had didn't mean he knew everything! But to walk away like that? To be so focused on himself? To not help? No, this was not the Peter Parker or Spider-Man Gwen knew. And Gwen was going to tell him so. Right after she bought her father a copy of Running Fast with Fartleks.** **Why are you laughing? A fartlek is just the name of an exercise for people who like to run. It's just a fartlek. Stop laughing! Get your mind out of the bathroom!
