The next day, the outside of Midtown High was chaotic as there were fans and protesters.

Everyone gaped at the chaos outside of Midtown.

Peter sighed. "My first day of senior year. At least I know I'll be able to go to school. It's going to be painful, though."

"You're a senior," said Tony, blinking the tears from his eyes. Peter was growing up. "If it's the first day of senior year, then your birthday's passed." He wasn't there for Peter's birthday.

Peter blinked in surprise. "I'm seventeen."

"You were supposed to get the Iron Spider suit for your seventeenth birthday, not because you got dragged to space."

Betty Brant was reporting.

"Betty!" Wanda exclaimed. "She and Ned need to get back together. They were cute."

Rhodey snickered. "According to Ned, he was a boy before he met Betty and then he turned into a man."

"She was the first person he fell in love with," Steve added.

"They dated for, like, two weeks max," said Clint.

"We're covering the first day of senior year from Midtown High's most famous student Peter Parker! Go get 'em, tiger. Or should I say, 'Spider?'"

Everyone snorted.

Peter, Ned, and MJ walked down the path, and Peter and MJ held hands in support.

"Well, at least those two are able to hold hands without shying away from each other now," Tony noted.

A man with MJ's face printed on his shirt yelled for her attention as he asked if she would have Peter's spider babies.

All of them looked at him in disgust.

"That's so wrong," said Peter, shaking his head.

The three kept their heads down and walked as the crowd yelled at them.

"Just get inside the school where it'll be safe," said Clint.

A poster called Peter the 'devil in disguise.'

"They're calling Peter the devil in disguise?" Stephen said, baffled. "Peter?"

"I knew people were stupid, but clearly, I underestimated how stupid," said Bucky.

"Hey! Let's see you and MJ kiss!" a person in the crowd yelled.

"They're literal children," Scott fumed.

"Disgusting," muttered Tony.

Ned told them to back off.

"Good, tell them off, Ned," said Clint.

A girl asked him who he was. Ned started to say he was Spider-Man's best friend, but a blond Flash interrupted and said, "I'm Peter Parker's best friend. You come at my boy; you come at Flash Thompson."

"Blond doesn't suit him," said Wanda.

"What?" Peter said, astonished. "Flash is saying that he's my best friend?"

"At least Flash is on your side," Scott pointed out.

Natasha snickered. "I think Flash would rather die than insult Spider-Man."

"Flash being Spider-Man's #1 fan but hating Peter will always be funny to me," said Rhodey.

He promoted his book, Flashpoint, which was about being best friends with Spider-Man.
