1. What's Next

A/n: Hey guys, here i am starting another shit story. I've been thinking about this one a lot, it's been my mind for about a year now but i haven't gotten time to write it. This story will have super super slow updates, so bear with me please. I also dont know if ill finish it, but of that ends up happening ill let you all know and give a summary of the plot. Essentially everyone in this AU is reflective of a character in spider man, just with my own twist of it. Only a few character are filling up a made up role. Anyways, please enjoy!

"I'll start off by saying this. [Name] [Lastname], in all my years of teaching you have one of the most remarkable minds i've ever seen."

You let out a yawn, and sat back in your chair with a bored look. One minute you had been sitting in your fourth period class, getting mentally prepared to pump through your last class of the day. Next thing you knew, the principal had called you down to her office. You weren't a trouble maker or anything, but it wasn't like you were an eager student either.

To put it simply, you were a slacker. With good reason too.

You couldn't take the woman in front of you seriously, despite her being the principal of the school. Before she even talked, you were able to predict how this conversation would go; it would consist of her berating you for skipping all of your classes and you blatantly ignoring her in return. This kind of situation was extremely common for you, you had been often condemned by your teachers for being 'lazy'.

Besides, whenever someone uses the phrase 'In all my years of teaching', your mind immediately tunes them out.

"Listen here, I'm serious about this." The principal said with a strict look, seeing your careless demeanor. "You're going into your last year of high school soon, and you've yet to make a proper career plan for yourself that doesn't include the phrase "livin' it up". You get good enough grades, but I seriously believe if you apply yourself, you can do something great with your life."

You found yourself cringing at the words 'livin it up'. Not only for the fact you always hated when older people tried to talk like teenagers, you hated a lot of things actually. But also, because you just simply couldn't 'live it up'. That ideal was impossible for someone like you.

She adjusted the glasses that framed her face. "Do you even know what university you're planning to go to, [Name]?"

You shrugged carelessly, and fidgeted with the pencil in your hand. "I don't plan to go to university"

With every word that left your mouth, her annoyance grew. "You should be aiming higher than that. [Name], a mind like yours shows up every decade! You've shown up for less than half of your classes this year, and yet you're passing all of them with flying colors! You're something special, imagine what you could do if you applied yourself!"

"Yeah... Maybe I could get you to finally shut up..." You muttered under your breath, annoyance also starting to grow as well.

Whether the woman genuinely didn't hear your comment or just flat out ignored it, you didn't know. However she said nothing, instead she just sighed and handed you a pamphlet from off her desk. You noticed a small black spider crawling on the side, which got flicked away due to the momentum of her handing it to you.

"Hm? What's this?" You muttered, inspecting the tri-folded piece of paper. On the front of the paper, printed in a big bold font was the name 'Blue Lock Experimental Tech Corp'. Underneath, was the image of a familiar skyscraper, one of the biggest in the city and the logo of the company, a blue pentagon. You often saw the large building in the distance on the way to your school, though you never really paid much mind to it. Still, it was a staple in your home town of New York City.
