Dad didn't make that much of an entrance as he usually does so I wasn't noticed.. But by procedure I quickly made my way up to the principals office.. I tapped the watch I slid on this morning and a tiny hologram of my identity popped up.

"I need to speak with the principal," I demanded.

The secretary looked up and flinched backwards. He stared at the hologram then at me.

"R-right this way miss!" He opened the door and let me in.

"Don't tell anyone or I will make sure you lose this job..." I whispered as I strutted into the office and shut the door behind me.

"Principal Morita..." I stated.

"Have a seat Miss. Stark..." He said ushering me with his hand.

"I need to change my last name on my files..." I said.

"I knew you were going to come ask that... If you were the 'real' daughter... What shall it be then.." Principal Morita asked.

"Par.. key? Parker?" I asked.

"The last names already taken but you can keep it.." He said.

"Absolutely not! How about Watts..?" I said.

"That checks out! All of the attendance lists have been updated virtually and any printed versions only have your first name..." He stated. "Now unless you want to get expelled please never threaten anyone like you did my secretary..."

"I did it for my safety measures but yes sir!" I said.

"Now get out of my office.. Before I have to confiscate that little device off your arm as well..." Principal Morita said.

I bolted out of his office exited for my first day. I headed out to the front again with all the other students to try to seem 'natural'... As I made my way down I realized... I wasn't a Stark anymore! I could be myself! I didn't have to fake a smile or act fake! As far as they know I'm just Brook Watts... A smart girl from Brooklyn...

"Yo! Your new here right?" Someone asked me as I tried to find a way through the crowds of kids.

"Uh yes! I'm Brook! Brook Watts.." I said.

"Well Brook Watts! You've got a criminal record or something because going to the principals office on the first day is not ideal for making a good impression.. Not only that but you arrived in a black car! What are you some sort of rejected child?" The girl said.

"For your information I was! was.." I stuttered.

"Ha! Well come talk to me when you have a good excuse for your crimes!" The girl said and pushed me out of her sight. I fell down behind her and slammed into another person. We both fell to the ground.

"GAH I am so sorry! I didn't mean to I got pushed and!" I said quickly getting up and trying to frantically find a way to help him up.

"It's no problem! You were going to fall straight on the ground but I guess I was in the right place at the right time he stuttered pushing himself off the floor.

"Is there anything I can do! I just feel so awful now..." I said hoping there was something I could do for him.

"Just forget about it... It never happened..." He said trying to avoid embarrassment of figuring out what just happened as well.

The bell rang 3 times signaling that school was in session!

"Cmon Peter! First day of school new girls, new life!" A friend of his said.

"Yeah yeah ok Ned! I'll see you at lunch!" Peter said picking up my copy of the book; "The mysterious life of Hugo Cabaret" off the floor.

"T-thanks! Your the best!" I said awkwardly.

"It's... umm nothing dude! No problem! I'm gonna go!" Peter said as he dashed off.

That was weird? I guess that's what you can expect from a hormone flowing teenage boy...

PETERS POV

What the heck was I thinking! 'It's nothing DUDE' she probably thinks I'm a loser! New year and everything is leading to a new year of disaster! Especially with my new genetic mutations' I'm still working through! I don't even know what to do anymore.
I got in the small line outside of the classroom. The girl got in line for the same class just a few students behind me! Oh god how was I going to avoid this now! We all shuffled in a line towards the entrance of the classroom.

"Please sit where you would like for the first week! I'm Ms.Warren, pleasure to meet you all..." Ms.Warren said with a youthful smile as everyone took their seats.

Everywhere to sit in the classroom was two desks. A group of three sat to my left in the back of the classroom and one person sat alone to the right of me on the far right. It was a decent seating arrangement other than the blonde girl next to me that wouldn't stop talking. Peter gazed across the classroom and saw the girl from this morning about to take a front seat.

"Seat is taken!" A quirky girl said from the front row.

"But there is no one else joining us for this class?" The girl said.

"Who cares! I don't want a vigilante sitting next to me!" She said.

"Is there a problem here? Do I need to get involved?" Ms.Warren said.

"No it's fine! I've got this!" The girl smiled up at the teacher and said. God she had such a dorky smile...

Suddenly a girl with blonde hair next to me stopped talking to the guy across the isle and walked to the front of the classroom taking The girls' seat just as she was going to sit down. I glanced at the girl and her hands were clenched in anger and sadness. I had to do something! Crying on your first day is the worst experience!

"Hey...! You can... Sit back here...! There's two open seats! Heh" I said so scared because everyone was either looking at me or her as she made her way down the right isle.

She sat next to the loner closest to the window. Probably because she thinks I'm weird...

"Ok class lets start with something simple! Write down a few things you did this summer! Just a few bullet points! Then hand them in!" Ms.Warren said.

My mind was only flooded with myself in my room climbing on the walls and ceiling trying to get ahold of whatever happened at the lab. I grabbed some paper and wrote; Rock climbing alone! I didn't do anything else that summer to be honest. I saw a movie but that's it. I jotted down ; Saw a movie, as well.

Everyone slowly made their way to the front to turn their papers in.

"Great class! Now I'm going to switch up the papers and hand them out again! Who knows this person might become your new Best Friend! These bullet points are an example of a written plot for a story! You could go on an write a story about your summer..." Ms.Warren said like she was from a commercial as my own brain stopped focusing ok what she was saying.

The papers came around slowly. At the top of my paper it said BrookS Watts. I looked around the class and looked back at the paper. It said;

Spent summer at home with HARLEY
Didn't get to see my dad since he's in his suit all the time. I mean I did see him today though!
Happy is nice!

The first one clearly states that she has a best friend! Why all capitals though?
The second one was kinda sad since it seemed like he was a professional businessman in his Tux all the time.
Happy is Nice? Was that a quote? Or some kinda aesthetic?

I kept pondering before I got interrupted by some snarky saying about Rock Climbing.. I looked past the girl who was still reading to see Michelle from freshman year. Still as socially awkward as always she blurted out about how silly it was to go rock climbing when you can't even  make a living off of it!

"Peter you had the most boring summer.." Michelle whispered behind her at me.

"Rock climbing is fun though!" She said making my ears grow red from embarrassment. They were debating on something I didn't even do! Michelle stuck her tongue out at me. And the girl simply started to ignore her snotty remarks.

The bell ring twice meaning it was next period!
