Math class was a bore, the teacher rambled on about Pythagorus and the kids sat around me were whispering, 'oh my god isn't that Y/n Odinson, son of Thor, god of thunder?!' Then their were other kids trying to talk to me to be my 'friend', but it was all fake just wanted the popularity which came with being friends with a god. For most of the class I kept my head down, took notes in between doodling on my books. It felt like I'd been sat in the class room for days, finally the bell rang and I couldn't have got up faster. My next lesson was art which I always enjoyed. It was like an escape for me. I made my way through the busy halls again, looking out for Peter, MJ, Ned or even Gwen but non of them were anywhere to be seen, either because the school is so big or there were so many people, I just couldn't see them. I couldn't wait for lunch I needed to see more familiar faces. I got to the art class room it was a big space with high tables but no chairs which I like it didn't seem like a class room at all, There was a few kids already in the class spread around but I didn't care to much. I went to stand by one of the emptier tables so I didn't have to deal with the constant whispers which even followed me into the new class room. I didn't pay any attention to the girl who came and stood next to me,
"Hey Y/n Odinson."
I finally turned to see Gwen smiling at me, I waved awkwardly like an idiot, making her laugh.
"You can just call me Y/n Yano."
"I know, but since everyone's been talking about THE Y/n Odinson, I though it would be fitting to address a god like that."
"Oh... so you've finally found out who I am?"
"Yeah, I feel stupid for not knowing before."
The freeing feeling she gave me that morning had gone away now she knew I was a god. I DROPPED my head not really knowing what to say.
"Y/n it doesn't change anything you seem like a great person."
"Person. It's nice to have some just see me as a person for once, the last person who did is... It's just nice."
I always over share but Gwen just smiled and Pulled her art book out, she was so good to me and I'd just met her. I got a book off the teachers desk and started drawing. A while later the bell rang again, for lunch this time, I'd finally get to meet up with my friends. I packed up my stuff and so did Gwen.
"What are you doing for lunch Y/n?"
"I'm meeting Peter, what about you?"
"I usually just go to the library and read."
"Wanna join us?"
"I wouldn't want to intrude."
"Don't be stupid, come on they will love you."
"Okay. Fine, how could i say no."
We both headed to the cantina and saw Pete, MJ and Ned who were chatting away. We made our way over and I introduced Gwen to our small group. They all said hi and Gwen gave an nervous wave before we both sat down. After a while it was clear Gwen was more comfortable, laughing and joking with everyone. I finally understand why people actually like school its not the lessons, nor the knew skills, it's the friends you find.
After lunch we had a few more lessons but the rest of the day went by so fast, by the time we knew it the clock stuck 3 and it was time to go home. I went out to the car but Peter, MJ and Ned weren't there yet, i assumed they got held back for something dumb they'd done but I was meant to be giving everyone a lift so i lent against my car waiting for them. I watched the school doors as all the students came out and I saw Gwen who was stood with two other girls but was looking back at me, I smiled and kept my eyes on her. It was clear she wasn't listen to her friends she was more interested in me. She said something to the girls then made her way over to me.
"Are you stalking me Gwen Stacey?"
"I was about to ask you the same thing, Y/n Odinson."
"Very funny, any plans for the rest of the day?"
"Nope just going to walk home and then read."
"I've never met a 14 year old who likes to read so much."
"Y/n, do I look 14 to you?"
"Well no you look 17ish but you're in the same year as Peter?"
"I am 17 I just stayed in school instead of going away to college."
"Oh that makes so much more sense now, I'm 18 so it's not really weird to see a 17 year old here."
"Can I be honest with you, without you thinking I'm weird."
"Of course."
"I did some research on you afterI found out you were an avenger, I don't know why, its just when I find or meet someone knew I look them up..."
I didn't really know what to say, I wasn't mad, it was just weird that someone I had just met knew everything about me. I hate the internet.
"It would be weird if you didn't, right?"
We both laughed, I knew she felt bad about it and if she was going to be my friend I'm sure she'd of found everything out at some point. Suddenly the trio came out of no where running to the car.
"Shot gun!"
"Oh come on Peter you was in the front on the way here!"
"Sorry Ned, as Y/ns room mate I get shot gun."
I laughed at the boys antics and stopped them both in their tracks by standing in front of the front passenger door.
"Sorry children, you're both in the back, we are dropping Gwen off and she's older so she has shot gun."
They both signed and got in the back of the car with MJ, who latterly didn't care was to busy texting on her phone. We all snag again in the car on the way to take everyone home, first Gwen, then MJ and finally Ned, leaving just me and Peter. He turned the radio off and turned towards me with a dumb grin on his face.
"Gwen Stacey hmm?"
"Shut up Parker."
"She's pretty."
"I said shut up."
"It would be good for you to finally get over Wanda..."
"How do you know about Wanda?"
"Natasha told me..."
"Of course she did."
"So would you go there?"
"Pete I'm not even thinking about it right now."
"Okay fine, I'll drop it, you ready to go back to the compound?"
"Nope but I'll be fine."
We pulled up to the compound and Peter got straight out the car, I sat for a moment not really wanting to go inside but Peter pulled me out the car towards the doors where Nat was waiting for us. I looked at her confused while she smirked at me. I just assumed Peter had already told her about Gwen but something told me that wasn't it. Maybe something about Wanda? No it couldn't be she would have been way more happy... I stopped in front of her and she didn't say a word just opened the front door and when I saw what I saw a huge smile appeared on my face.

Hi lads,
I don't really like this chapter but I needed it for the next part, Y/n and Gwen are friends and are getting a little flirty... but what did Y/n see when he got back to the compound? You'll have to wait and see!!
Oh also before I forget, I forgot to mention Gwen is 17 in the last chapter of course Y/n who is 18 wouldn't go for a 14 year old cos that illegal and gross so yeah I had to squeeze it in this chapter.
