"Kill me- just slit my throat and let my blood drain out of me!"

Felicity glanced up from texting on her phone and to the young Stark girl sitting at Silvia Hayes' desk, books and papers strewn across the surface. The Korean girl slowly set her phone down and watched as Eliza balled up a piece of paper and threw it across the room, landing in a pile with all of the other pieces of papers she had thrown. Felicity was surprised the girl hadn't thrown any of the actual text books yet. Hesitantly, she opened her mouth to speak.

"Um, Ellie," Felicity said, "Maybe you should, oh I don't know, take a break from school-?"

"Mid-terms are a month away, and this year I am not slacking on studying. No breaks for me, Gal," Eliza interrupted.

"But you just-."

"Fel, let me be over the top dramatic, okay?"

"Eliza Michelle, you are taking a fucking break from school work," Felicity snapped and glared at the other girl. The young sorceress snapped her gaze to the Korean badass with a shocked looked; she wasn't expecting such an outburst from her friend. "Listen, it's almost five in the afternoon and you haven't eaten since lunch, let alone relaxed since this morning when school started. Let's get everyone together and have a fun night, okay?"

Eliza raised an eyebrow in speculation. She was tired of studying and doing school work, and the idea of a fun night with the few friends she had seemed like a fantastic idea. But she just had one tiny problem, "Jaz and Josh are going to expect it to be at my place. The two agents posing at my legal guardians are out on another mission, and the get together can't exactly be in Malibu."

Felicity sighed and said with a roll of her eyes, "Then let it be at my place, genius! And not just those two dipshits, either. It's Killian's last night before he and Tony go to Kamar-Taj, so he's definitely coming, and it would be cool to bring Peter."

"We're not inviting Spandex Guy."

"Um, yeah we are. Be nice for once, Ellie. Show the kid you're not all mean," Felicity told her.

"But I am-." Eliza cut her own words off at seeing the looking Felicity was giving her; it was one a mother would give their bratty child, getting them to behave. The American college student let out a huff of air and slouched her shoulders. She really didn't want to invite Peter Parker – but Felicity won't take a no from her, so she has to. "Fine."

Felicity's harsh stare morphed into one of relief, a grateful grin on her lips. "Thank you, Ellie. Now, go invite him! Take the plate of cookies with you, too." The Korean trainer handed the plate of sugar cookies to Eliza with a hopeful smile.

Eliza frowned. "It's gonna be at your-."

"Show the kid that you're nice!"

She grumbled under her breath and stood up from her seat. She realized, then, that fighting with Felicity about inviting Peter would not end until she agreed to it – all of it – and that's what she did. Eliza agreed reluctantly to invite Peter herself, making her friend's smile grow even more. She took the plate out of Felicity's hands and begrudgingly stalked out of the empty office they were (more like Eliza was) using for studying, ignoring the Korean's words. ("Maybe even flirt with him!")

Silently and angrily, Eliza Stark walked down the many hallways and took an elevator to get to the floor that Peter Parker was currently working on. She ignored employees that greeted her, and swiftly moved passed and between people when needed. Once she got to the correct floor, Eliza simply stood for a second outside of the elevator. The girl had no idea how to exactly invite Peter to the little get together. The last time she talked to him was four days ago when she thanked for saving her life – and during the moment when her evil ancestor showed up. Since then, she's only seen him once: two days ago, when she walked into Tony's shop to merely check up on them.
