Owens pov:

I've been stressing all week. I have a presentation today, last period. It's about a book you had to read and mine is about percy jackson.(i am currently reading them so i can understand the serie better and i love them)

One problem, i hate presentations. So i'm now sitting in my room trying to convince mom to say i'm sick and stay at home. I'm actually feeling sick from the stress but i won't tell her. She just wouldn't believe me.

'You can't just skip school because you're nervous for a presentation' she says. 'I know but i'm more than nervous. I'm like freaking out' i try to convince her. 'I know it's harder for you than other kids. But if you won't do it now. You will have to do it later. And you will freak out even more' she says. 'Okay i'll try' i give up and sigh. This is gonna be a long day.

The bell rang. 7th period. I have been practising what i need to say all day. 'We will do it in the order of your classnumber' the teacher says. Great now i need to even wait longer, i'm one of the last ones.

'Owen your turn' my heart is pounding in my ears. With each step i take to the front of the class, my heart goes faster. It's like there is some heavy weight on my chest. My breathing goes faster just like my heartbeat.

I look around. All their eyes are on me. Shit i can't do this. What if i mess this up? Or i begin to stutter? 'Owen, you can begin whenever you are ready' the teacher interruptes my train of thoughts.

'Uuh i'm doing my present- presentation about the first book of the- the collection from percy jack- percy jackson. My breathing is going even faster. I begin to panick. I look around and my classmates are looking annoyed at me like i'm speaking in slow motion. I can't blame them.

I start to forget what i need to say next. 'Come on your parents learned you how to speak right? You're not a baby anymore or are you?' Flash mockes. The whole class starts laughing. I feel my eyes getting wet. Don't cry. Don't cry. Not in front of the whole class.

I want to do the rest of my presentation but i feel like i forget how to operate. I can't speak. I can't breath. I cant move and i start sweating cause i feel really warm. 'Oh are you starting to cry? Such a cry baby' Flash says again. 'Shut up Flash. He's just nervous' peter tries to defend me.

My legs feel like a 100 pounds but i manage to run out of the class to the toilets. I feel like i'm gonna have a panic attack.

I hear someone entering the toilets. I can't figure out who. I'm trying to steady my breathing. But it doesn't work. Black spots and a high pitch come suddenly. 'Hey owen it's okay follow my breathing?' Says the person that came after me. 'I can't it hurts, please help' i wisper.

'Try to follow my breaths okay' the person takes my hand and lays it on their chest. They rub cirles on my back in an effort to calm me down. 'Good in and out' they tell me in a calm voice. The black sport start to dissapear and i see peter sitting next to me. 'Peter?' ' yes it's okay calm down.

When my breathing is almost back to normal he asks me if i'm okay. 'Yes, i am now, thank you' i say. 'It's fine thats what brothers are for right' he says. The bell rings. 'I know but don't you have the weekly meeting right now?' I ask him. 'Yeah but i want to make sure you're okay' he answers.

'Oh i am now so you can go you can't skip a meeting for me' 'Are you sure i don't need to ride home with you?' He asks. 'Yeah i'm good' i assure him. 'Okay see you at home' peter says while walking out of the toilets.

When i come home, i run immediately up the stairs to my room. 'Owen!' My dad yells behind me but i ignore him and slam my door shut. I don't wanna talk right now. To anyone. Not to my dad. Not to my mom nor peter.

They'll probably say that it wasn't a big deal and everyone will have forgotten it by tomorrow. And i should too. But i can't cause my brain will remind me everytime i show up to school of this embarrassing moment. So will Flash do. He was now already laughing his ass off in class. So tomorrow will be hell.

3rd pov:
Tony dindn't know what to think of owens suden anger. What caused him to be this upset? Pepper looks at him with a questioning expression. 'Do you know what's wrong with him?' Tony asked her. "No maybe it has something to do with his presentaion he had?" Pepper answered. "I'll go talk to him." Tony said.

Tony knocked on his door. Just as he was about to come in he heard a: "leave me alone!". He ignored owens request and entered the room. "What part of leave me alone did you not understand!?" Owen half yelled at his father. "Hey, you do not talk like this to your dad." Tony said calmly. If he would act angry and yell at him. It wouldn"t help owen one bit to calm down.

"What's wrong?" Tony asked concerned. "Nothing." "Does it have to do with you presentation you had today?" "Nope, it went totally fine." Owen said. The sarcasm was dropping of his sentences. "You're just like me a bad liar. So come on spill it." Tony said.

Owen sighed.

"It's just... the kids at school. They were laughing. At me. And they did it right in my face. In front of the whole class. They made a fool of me in front of everyone. And i was to pathetic to stand up for myself."

"No don't say that about yourself you're not pathetic." Tony assures him. "Yes, i am. We both now that. I'm a pathetic little girl."owen said.

"What? Who told you that, did these boys at school said that?" Owen was on the verge of tears. He couldn't talk, he knew once he would open his mouth. He wouldn't stop crying. So he sat there on his bed. Trying to look away from his dad and biting his lip.

He swallowed his tears.

"It's fine dad, i promise." Owen tried to convince his dad. Tony was not convinced. At all. But he got stopped from holding a speech when pepper yelled it was diner time.

Owen was glad his dad didn't get another chance to say something. He went downstairs really fast and helped his mom set the table. Hopefully tony won't restart the conversation later this week.

A/n: okay i don't know and i don't pay attention in class but can someone who does know tell me the diference between " and ' again cause my head can't handle these things. Ty:)
