5. │ First day of school (Pt. 1)

I don't remember what I was dreaming, I just know my alarm jolted me from my sleep. Ugh, how I hate it. I was so cozy, I could have stayed in bed all day. I was so close to just turning around and going on sleeping.
"Y/n! Come on, get up!" My mom's voice sounded so far away, even though I could see her silhouette standing in my doorway. My alarm must have been going off for a while before it had woken me up. "Y/f/n!" I groaned a "Hm" in response. "Y/f/f/n, we both know you would get up if I'd leave now. She didn't even give me any time to answer before she ripped the cover from me. Now, that's mean.
"Come on now, don't let Peter wait too long," she said.

At that, my eyes shot open. "What? How could you have not woken me up earlier?!" I was just as awake and energetic as if I have had 10 shots of Espresso.

In the stress, I quickly grabbed my clothes and failed miserably at putting them on as fast as I could. My expression changed from infuriated to bewildered within seconds, when I saw this devilish smirk on her face. "You're the pure evil." We both had to laugh.
"Come on down, breakfast is ready." with that, she went downstairs.

I got ready, this time without a hurry, and grabbed my already packed backpack before going downstairs.
I sat down at the table. My parents are reading the newspaper and my brother is staring at the back of the cereal box. "Good morning" You could have wondered if that was a question. They all glanced up and greeted me as well. It is frightening how fast they're back in their day-to-day routine. This is exactly what it's been like every morning back at home.
I was eating my food in silence when the word Oscorp caught my attention in the newspaper my dad was reading. My mouth was still full of food I asked "Mom, have you heard anything from aunt Helen? Like, when are we supposed to be there?" For a second she was wondering what I was talking about until I gestured to the article about the tour we have enrolled in.
"No, I haven't. Maybe you could ask Gwen again later?" "Hm, okay."

I had a look at my phone and saw that it was about time to leave. "Peter will be here any minute. I'll see you later. Bye!" I had my hand at the doorknob when I remembered "Oh, and Dec, try to get home on time, I don't want to miss that tour because of you!"

I turned my head around after I had opened the door already. I saw Peter standing in front of me with his fingers only inches from the doorbell. "Oh, hey Peter!" I said. I didn't expect him to be standing there. "Heyy y/n, uh, let's get going. You all set?" "Yeah, let's go." We exchanged a smile and walked down the stairs.

"So, I usually get there by my skateboard. Would you like to try?" he had this look in his eyes that told me I had to try this. "Uh, sure, how do I have to, uhm, work this out?" I chuckled nervously.
"Okay, just copy me. You stand like this and just push yourself forward with your foot." He gestured to the board for me to get on. It isn't that hard actually. Although, I failed to realize how long it was taking us to get there.
"Uhm, you're doing great, but If we go on like this, it will take us a while to get there" he scratched the back of his neck. "Yeah, haha, I'll walk." "No, you know, we can try and do it together. You can stand at the front and I'll push." "Uhm, okay, we cant try, I guess..." I place my feet at the front of the board while peter stood at the back. He placed his hands on my waist to balance the two of us. We were so close. I kinda liked it, whoops.
"Uhm, is this okay with you?" "Yeah, it's fine." clearly, he was uncomfortable but I smiled at him.

As we were on our way to school, I had to ask what was to expect of Midtown Science. So I went ahead and asked him. "Uhm, that depends, really." "On?" "Well, when you are popular, most people will be nice and you'll find friends quickly. When you are more of an outcast, it's going to be harder." "Oh, okay, what would you consider yourself?" "Outcast, for sure. But I do photos, so, some know me because of that. But if you'd be an outcast, you'd have me" he smiled weakly, I just knew "I'm glad," I said happily. 

Eventually, we arrived at school. "Should I bring you to the office?" he asked as I got off the skateboard. "Yes, that would be amazing." "Follow me, milady" "He bowed and smiled. Such a gentleman. On our way up the stairs, Gwen joined us.
"Hey!" Both of us greeted her back. I haven't seen the look on Peter's face, but he was surprised Gwen was talking to us. "Y/n, I was surprised you didn't ask me about what to expect." she laughed slightly, while I chuckled in embarrassment. "Uh, yeah, no. I know what school is like."

We stopped in front of the office. "Here you go. I'll see you at lunch?" "Yeah, absolutely." I smiled and he went back into the masses of students. I knew Gwen was looking at me with a smirk, but I just ignored it and knocked on the door and peeked around the door.
"Ah, hello, get in honey." "Hi, I'm y/f/f/n. I'm new here." "Ah, yes. I'll print your timetable and school rules. Just take a seat for the moment." she smiled contently, showing me where to sit. She seems so nice. Gwen and I each took a seat.
She got up and handed me a few pages of paper. Apparently it was the school rules and my timetable. "Ms. Stacy volunteered on showing you around. She will supervise you for as long as you need. She will answer your questions if you have any and, as I can see, you have already met." "We are family, actually." "Very well then." With that, we went outside and Gwen showed me around the school.

"This is actually all there is. We have another 10 minutes until the first period ends. It doesn't really make sense to get to class now." "Yeah" We sat on a bench in the schoolyard. "I just remembered, I was supposed to ask you when we are supposed to be at Oscorp later today?" "Ah, I forgot to text you, sorry! Be there at 4.30" "Okay great. Thank you!" I got out my phone to text my brother when we had to be there. "I will be the one guiding you around later, actually. So, just register at the front desk and I'll be picking up the group." "Alright, then."
We spoke about some other stuff until the bell rang.

We got up and Gwen showed me showed where my next class would be and to my locker.
Gwen then went to her next class, as we wouldn't share the next one.

A/n: I think I have to make a cut here, it's already a bit long, but the next chapter will continue on being in school.
