"Excuse me." you squeaked, trying to push your small frame through the group of football jocks who were congregating by the water fountain.

You smiled when you spotted your best friend Daia, pretty much your only friend, standing by your locker, patiently waiting on you. You had been friends since the beginning of high-school and had stuck with one another ever since then.

"You took your time." She sighed, leaning against the locker beside yours. You murmured a quick apology to her. You opened yout locker, taking out the books you needed for first period and left the ones you didnt need till later.

"So, how was your break?" She asked as you both began to head in the direction of your first class, which you were both in, meaning you could walk and talk for longer. You hadnt seen her most of the summer because she had been staying with family in England.

"Nothing much, really." You lied, pushing your glasses further up your nose. You couldnt tell her that Captain America had asked you to join his little team of misfit weirdos to fight against Iron Man and his own team of weirdos. "I just studied and watched TV."

"I swear that is all you ever do, you need to start putting yourswlf out there. When was the last time you even spoke to a boy?" She interogatted. You shrugged in response, awkwardly scuffing your feet off the ground to avoid the conversation.

"What ab-" she began to speak but she was quickly cut off by another voice.

"Hey Beatrice." Peter grinned, waving at you as he walked by. Your cheeks turned a deep crimson colour as you dreamily waved back at him.

As soon as he was out of sight, Daia continued to pester you. "What was that?" She cooed, poking your arm. Your cheeks became redder by the passing second. "Do you have a thing for him?"

"What? No! Of course not." You denied her allegations. "We're just friends. My Mum is friends with his Aunt, I spent some of the summer with him." You admitted, pulling your blond hair behind your ear.

"AHA! So you were doing something this summer other than watching TV and whatever else it is you do." She joked. "So, do you think he will ask you out?" You just laughed in respone, punching her arm.

"No! You look into things way too much D." She wrapped an arm around your smaller frame as you both headed down the hallway, laughing and catching up on everything else that had happened during Summer Break.

"Listen up everyone." Mrs Harrington attempted to settle down the talkative class. "Homework time." She announced, causing numerous groans to erupt from the students around you.

"I'll be partnering you all up. " She explained. "You will have two weeks to come up with a talk that will be presented to the class about a book of your choice. Now it is up to you and your partner what the book will be, so I will leave the fighting to you." She added.

"Now, let's get your partners sorted out." She picked up a bowl that was filled with pieces of ripped paper. She began to pick two out at a time. "First up, Lily and Amelia."
