FIRST DAY OF SCHOOL, BLEACHERS
SENIOR YEAR
SEPTEMBER 2ND, 2021

"Hey Nat." Bruce approached Natasha on the bleachers, who was sitting and doing her homework, waiting for football tryouts to be over, and for Wanda, Pepper, and Maria to get there. She really didn't want to talk to Bruce, but had no choice.

"Hi" She didn't want to be rude of course, but also didn't want to keep a conversation.

"I wanna ask you something.." He looked down at his hands, and just as he was going to start talking, Steve walked over with his helmet. He jumped up so he was eyes length with Natasha, who had to excuse herself from Bruce.

"Steve help." She whispered just loud enough for him to hear it.

"Dont say anything, I just need you to pretend like we are hanging out later ok!" He nodded at her, doing their handshake, before hopping down.

"See you tonight Tasha!" He smiled and winked at her, making sure he was loud enough for Bruce to hear.

"Sorry about that. What did you wanna say?"

"Oh uhm. I uh- I wanted to ask if you guys all were in for Tonys Party tomorrow." He was visibly blushing more and more as she faked a smile to him, nodded, and continued to work.

Twenty minutes later, Pepper, Maria, Wanda came in. Wanda was bright red, and Maria and Pepper were leaning over, teasing her. Natasha looked like she felt bad, but it she was the youngest after all. Natashas birthday was in a few days, but Wandas wasn't until January. Sam just turned 17, and Buckys birthday was in October. Besides that, everyone else was 17.

"Wands whats up. You look like a tomato."

She groaned, looking at the girls sitting to her right, giggling over the boys on the field dancing. Sam was jumping around, Steve and Bucky were partying, and Tony was jumping up and down.

"You know how I like Bucky and.."

"Wait up. Im your best friend, and you like my other best friend. AND YOU DIDNT TELL ME!" Natasha practically yelled at Wanda, who was blushing as she looked at Bucky who was looking over at her. He looked over and caught her eyes.

"Hey Doll!" He yelled from the field. She turned red, and waved back. "Hi!"

Natasha looked at her confused. "Doll?"

"You?"

"And"

"Bucky?"

"Yea, he gave me that nickname after when we went to the beach because Pepper kept teasing me over my American girl doll collection, and its only in my room because my room hasn't been redone since I was five, so he said 'I like that name. Im gonna call you doll" Natasha looked at her in awe.

"Thats so cute oh my gosh!" She was shrieking, and throwing a thousand questions at her.

"Natasha I just need you to help me. Please don't tell him. I really like him, but he is my best friend and what if he doesn't like me back!" At this point, it was around 4:30 and practice had just ended. Steve, Bucky, and Sam came over, Tony not too far behind, talking with Clint, who was drinking apple juice.

"Hey Mar" Sam hopped over the railing of the bleachers and practically fell into her arms. She played with his hair, and he smiled into her shoulder blade.

"Tough tryout?" He simply nodded, not caring that everyone was watching. They grew up in the same neighborhood, and were best friends - and still are.

"Lets get you home, soldier." She waved goodbye to everyone, and they all sniggered in the background watching the two friends, who they both were madly in love with eachother but never owned up to it, walk down the stairs of the bleachers together.

Bucky jumped over the railing, effortlessly as well, just like Sam, but Steve.. not so much. Steve was tall, about 6'5, and couldn't get his legs over somehow. Natasha simply began giggling over how hard it was for him, and he responded with a face, sticking out his tongue.

"Rogers, maybe you'll be able to get that in her mouth someday." Tony commented, and Natasha turned around an shot him a glance as Steve blushed, and Tony earned a 'I can't believe you just said that!' from Pepper, who was now walking away.

"Pep.. Pepper it was a joke c'mon!" He chased after her. Hm. Desperately in love Tony. Steve thought.

"You guys wanna go to Bakers for some dinner?" Bucky suggested. All 4 of them nodded, and set out in their cars, well the two cars. Bucky had driven Wanda to school, and Steve had driven Natasha. Clint took the bus, so he just hopped in with Natasha and Steve.

When they arrived, it wasn't too busy. Bakers was actually run by Buckys aunt, so they went whenever they wanted, almost like when they always go to Ollies Diner.

They spent the whole night there, until none other than Nick called Natasha.

'Natasha!'

"Whats up ol man?"

'Clint, give the phone to your sister.'

"Hey dad!" Natasha answer when Clint handed over her phone

'Natasha where are you. Its almost 10:30.'

"Im just out with Steve, Bucky, and Wanda. Oh yeah Clints here too. Why?"

'Tell Steven I want you home 11.' Steve was right next to Natasha, so he responded instead.

"Course coach. Clint too?"

'Hey Steve, great tryout today by the way. As for Clint, drop him at the end of the street. He can walk.'

"Thanks. And ok then. Have a good night, coach."

'Bye Steve! Bye Tasha, HI BUCKY AND WANDA HOWS YOUR DATE!'

"DAD!"

'FINE BYE.'

With that, Bucky and Wanda started giggling. They decided to go home, because Wandas dad wouldn't be happy if it was 11 and she wasn't back. They headed out, and so did Steve and Natasha, dragging Clint along with them.

"Bye Nat!"

"Bye Stevie!" Clint yelled for her, and she smacked his shoulder.

"Bye Steve! See you tomorrow!" Tomorrow was Tonys party, and it was weird enough for them to start school this early, but it was even weirder that school started on a Friday. But, tryouts for sports happened that week before, so on Monday they would find out who made
cuts.
