It was hard being Tony Stark, in one hand he had to be the responsible genius son of Howard Stark and on the other one... it wasn't him. He was pretty sure his dad didn't like him so to be honest he didn't care about letting him down, not anymore.
His mother was the one who tried to keep the family functioning but Tony could sense even her had given up.

He was simply a time bomb, anyone would agree with this...well everyone but his two best friends: Rhodey and Pepper. Even Tony didn't believe anyone would actually put up with him but they were always there.

Rhodey was in charge of keeping him out of trouble and Pepper well, without her he wouldn't have lasted a month in the Academy.

Between the dangerous experiments, the crazy forbidden parties and his secret mini bar he could bearly believe he hadn't been expelled, it might have been because he's literally a genius. If it weren't for his friends and team, he'd actually be a mess.

"Tony" Rhodey whispered his name

He had been sketching on his notebook a new prototype for a suit instead of answering Hank Pym's exercises, which he could do in less than five minutes (if he would have wanted to). It wasn't that he didn't like the classes, just that the teacher already hated him, so why should he actually try to work in class?
Tony's first year with Pym had been acceptable... until one day he had argued with him which had ended up with Stark being expelled from his class so he had to present a final exam at the end of the year, and to be honest he liked it better that way
"Yes?"

His friend rolled his eyes "You can't throw a party tonight"

That made Tony look up, it was supposed to be a secret "Why not?"

"Because you can't possibly get in trouble the first day"

He snorted and ripped the page off "Fine"
He decided since it was the first day he'd actually make an effort to keep it calm... at least a week.

"Thank you"

The two looked at Hank Pym, he sat calmly in his desk reading what it seemed to be a notebook with notes in it

"Are you finished?" Stark asked Rhodey

He sighed "Can't get through the first, math is not my strong. What about you? How long are you staying in his class?"

Tony pretended to actually think about it "Well... it's been 20 minutes already so I broke my record. Want help?"

"Nah, I'm okay"

The billionaire smirked devilishly "I bet you 20 that I can get expelled in less than 10 minutes"

His friend laughed "Make it 5 minutes and I'm in"

The two shook hands and Tony proceeded to fold the sheet of paper to create an almost perfect paper plane, he finally winked at his friend and threw it directly into Hank Pym's forehead.

The man let go of his notebook and looked up to find the guilty... Tony Stark smiled cockily at him. Between gritted teeth all that he managed to say was "LEAVE"

The whole class went silent and Tony picked up his stuff before leaving the classroom triumphantly

Rhodey swore under his breath, he owed him 20.
