Spiderman: college love

Sorry my parasite ate my homework

Your pov

College is weird, don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Honestly, I had hoped college in a new town would be a good choice, I thought I'd get out, see the world, become someone worthwhile.
Yeah right.
      For me, the college had been studying, doing side jobs, and trying to navigate a new city. Why did I have to move to New York again? It's loud and it's crazy here, not to mention how the people can be.
     'We moved here for the crime!' A loud gruff voice chimes in my head. Slowly a black goo forms around me and stops in front of me as a face looks back at me. Its long teeth and gruesome tongue didn't phase me anymore.
"Yes thank you, I had almost forgotten that I can't do any studying because someone keeps demanding brains," I say in an annoyed tone to my parasitic friend, venom.
"It is not my fault! If you want to keep your organs intact I have to eat" he responded, jumping closer to my face. I push the goo face away and start grabbing clothes to get ready for my morning. I shove books into my bag, despite knowing the class I was heading to didn't need them all. I chose to keep them with me in case of studying opportunities.
"Did you study for your history exam? Remember in 1492 Columbus sailed the oven blue!" He sang in an off-key mess, before using his 'arms' to help me grab stuff I needed and get ready. He honestly made more of a mess as he searched through my stuff for a coat for me to wear.
"V you know thats wildly outdated, and not even what the test is over" I informed him as I found my coat that I wanted to wear, ignoring the aliens insisting I wear the one he was trying to force me into. He succeeded halfway since he had partial control of my body, making me have one arm of each coat on. "V that's a winter coat, it's going to be 80* outside I'm not wearing that"
"But it's my favorite coat!" He retorts and tried to make me fully put it on.
"Quiet or I'm putting you in the crate!" I yell back as I looked towards the machine covered up by a blanket in the corner of the room. Underneath was a machine I had to built to keep venom safe, and it babysits him. Sometimes, I need personal space from this thing. I haven't used it in a while since he had behaved well enough, but I was greatly considering putting him in there and turning on the tv so he wouldn't get bored
"Fine, no coat." He agreed and calmed down, letting me have control of my body again. I grab my bag and finally leave the room after a long morning of arguing. I glance at the time and realized I was about to run late for class, again.

_______class skip——

     I had, of course, been completely late for the class. Not completely, but I did miss ten minutes of the lecture. And earned a 'come see me after class' from my professor. Once the class was done I slowly packed up my stuff, trying to awkwardly wait for everyone to leave before getting chewed out by the professor. I noticed the room had greatly thinned out and I made my way to the front and noticed someone else doing the same.
"Parker, (l/n), do you know why I asked you both to see me after class?" The teacher asked as we both approached, at least I wasn't the only one getting chewed out. I'd almost forgotten how often Peter missed/ was late. If I was bad at school he was a criminal. Yet he managed to stay just as caught up like me.
"You both need to focus more on attending classes and put in the work, otherwise I'd hate to see you again next semester. Classes aren't cheap you know" the teacher said and I glanced at Parker, who was fiddling with his bag as if stuffing something small back into the bag.
"I'm sorry professor, is there anything, in particular, we could do? Maybe extra credit or something to show you we are serious?" I asked as I turned my attention back to the teacher. He frowned as if about to deliver bad news to us both. "Maybe like a group project between me and him? Or like an extra test, we can study together to show how committed we are"
"Now, I usually wouldn't but..." the teacher glanced between us and looked at Peter, "Parker, if you also would like to take an extra test, we can arrange that. But it will be extremely hard"
Peter perked up slightly, as if finally interested.
"Uh yeah actually, id be okay with that." He said and looked at me, "we can study together to get a good grade"
"Then it's settled, you two will have a test in two weeks, comprehensive over everything covered so far. Now hurry out I have another class in twenty" the professor said, shooing us along. As we both turned to leave I heard the booming voice in my head.
"ANOTHER TEST? Can't we drop out of college yet? I am very flexible we could become a stripper!" Venom yelled in my head, causing me to wince for a second. I couldn't respond to him so I hoped he quieted down.
"I'm Peter Parker, by the way, thanks for that back there, I wasn't sure how to fix the whole mess," Peter says as he turns to look at me as we leave the lecture hall. "We don't have to study together if you don't want to"
"No no, I intended to study together. After all, you probably know better study techniques than me so I could use your help" I told him, "I have a dorm alone if you want to study there."
"Ah I see what you are doing, we are interested in him. He is kind of lanky for your usual though"
"Ah but not in like a weird way! Promise. I just enjoy the quiet when studying" I added so that Peter didn't get the same weird idea venom had.
"Oh, of course, I also like the quiet," he said before glancing behind him, "how about in an hour or two? I don't like studying late," he said with a nervous laugh.
"Alright, I'm in the dorms by the garden, third-floor fifth door," I told him as I gave a little wave. "See ya, Peter Parker"
