MIDTOWN HIGHSCHOOL 15 minutes later 

ONCE Persephone and Bethany arrived at the football game, Beth spotted MJ, her best friend sitting on a bench outside. She leaped out of the car, her bag clutched in her hand. Seph patted Happy on the shoulder, thanked him for taking them, and hopped out of the car too.

"Wait, When do you need to be picked up?" Happy Asked looking over his shoulder at Seph. She looked around desperate to find her best friends and shrugged her shoulders.

"I Don't know, I'll call you," She said Slamming the door and heading towards the crowd outside the field. Happy sighed and pulled out of his spot next to the sidewalk speeding off back towards the Stark Tower.

After looking around for her friends, Seph walked towards the bench where her sister and MJ were chatting.

"Have you seen Peter?" She asked the two. They both looked around and shook their heads no. Seph shoved her hands in her pockets and Glanced around again for them. Once struggling to find both Peter and Ned, she sighed and went to find her own seat.

Shortly after taking a seat, MJ and Beth came in and sat a row down from her. After about 30 minutes of texting Ned and Petter, and watching her sister doodle strangers, she saw Ned and Peter make their way over to her.

"Sorry, my bad, Sorry" Peter said bumping into people who were cheering. Seph laughed aloud and watched her friends in amusement.

"Seph!" Ned said trailing behind Peter slightly. Persehpone sighed and looked at her friends as they took seats on either side of her.

"Why the hell are you 30 minutes late?" she asked amused and irritated. Peter scratched the back of his neck and looked at Ned trying to find his words.

"Well, we sorta..." Peter said.

"We kind of" Ned started.

"What!" Seph asked a smirk on her face eyebrows raised.

"Well... we found a stray dog on the way here, so we tried to call the owner, and a man who didn't speak English answered" Peter went on.

"Taiwanese" Ned exclaimed. Peter nodded and continued.

"So we rushed home to get Ned's phone"

"Wait, Ned, you left without your phone?" Seph asked interrupting Peter.

"Yea..." Ned said ashamed. Seph snickered and allowed Peter to continue.

"So we got his phone, and then we- well we... we used google translate to talk to him" Peter continued. "Well turns out it wasn't his dog.."

"Mhm," Seph said nodding her head.

"So, we left him where we found him," Ned said disappointed. Seph looked back and forth at the two of them and broke out into a fit of laughter. Peter started laughing too allowing his embarrassed cheeks to fade and a huge smile to appear.

"Yall are Idiots!" she said catching a breath. They laughed again and started to watch the game.

When the game was over, they made their way outside following the excited crowd. Peter, Ned, and Seph stood in a huddle blabbering on about Star Wars memes. Beth and MJ approached the three of them.

"Hey," Beth said sweetly. Peter did a double-take and smiled back at her, faint crimson hitting his cheeks

"um.. should I like call happy? or?" Seph asked looking up from Ned's phone and turning towards her sister.

"Um.. well- w-we were going to go to the dinner two blocks over if you wanna come with us?" Peter said fast. Seph eyed him strangely.

"Wait were we?-" she was cut off by Beth.
