"Another challenge would probably be trying not to fall for the young Parker. To bad he's on the brink of failing it."

•••••••••••••••••••••••

"Peter, you're gonna be late for school!" The sound of Pepper Potts voice this early in the morning didn't exactly make Peter happy, even if she was extremely nice to him, no one's voice in the morning made him particularly giddy. Today was Peter's first day back at school since he got kicked out of Aunt May's, and the week long break away from it all was nice. Sure, it was spent washed up on fire escapes, but still a nice break.

Plus, he liked the mattress he recently got on that trip with Kenna. He was still a bit melancholy that they never got to look at wedding dresses for her, but he still enjoyed the shopping spree. Peter soon found himself crawling out of the soft bed, falling to the floor dramatically, "Peter Parker, you have 4 minutes and counting until you must leave for school." FRIDAY's voice could be heard throughout the large room, Peter's eyes widening as he sprang up from the floor, rushing into the bathroom.

His clothes were already put out for him, Peter quickly taking off his hello kitty pajama pants and struggling to hurriedly get into his school clothes. He flailed around as he pulled up his ripped jeans, attempting to put on his classic 'find x' t-shirt that Mr. Stark replaced for him, scrambling to put on his new black vans. The style was slightly different then how he used to dress, but he wasn't complaining. It wasn't like he had time to complain anyway.

Finally, he slipped on his jacket and grabbed his backpack, which he seemed to had forgotten at the compound when he was offered the spot. (A/N: he didn't in the movie, but role with it oof it's easier to explain) He ran past the kitchen and to the stairway exit, feeling he didn't have the time to go down the elevator. He jumped down empty center 100 floors down, using his webbing to make a net to cushion his fall under him.

To say his morning was eventful was an understatement, he realized that when he made it to Happy's car. He wasn't necessarily panting or out of breath, it was almost normal to him to be this active. His heart, however, was definitely beating faster, thanks to rushing and the anxiety of it all. Happy raised his eyebrow from the front as the car pulled out, "You okay?"

Peter nodded, "Yeah yeah, I'm fine." Happy nodded, raising up his little window so he could focus on finding the quickest route to Midtown High. Things had been a bit more rushed since he moved into Stark Tower. His room was ready the moment Kenna and him came back with his new wardrobe.

In all honesty, Peter felt a wave of anxiety hit him as he saw Midtown High. What if Jackson had blabbed about his identity? What would Flash do to make up for Peter's absence? As the car came to a stop, Peter found himself in a trance of worry and overanalyzing. "Peter?" Happy spoke, scaring Peter out of his focus. Peter opened the car door and walked out, walking toward the school entrance.

As the doors opened into hell, Peter saw Jackson talking to a brunette girl and- Ned? Why was Ned with Jackson? He walked towards the group, Ned turning around and smiling, hugging him immediately. Unbeknownst to him, Jackson was looking him up and down, secretly admiring the new look with a light blush covering his face. The girl giggled, "Your friend Ned is the Hunk of this school" Peter was confused at that, the hunk? No ones said that about him before. "You're the Lance then, huh?" The Who?

The boy coughed, attempting to get rid of his blush, "Ignore her, she's talking about Voltron again," Jackson rolled his eyes, "She calls me the Keith of our school, but I don't see it." The girls eyes widened, a grin crossing her face. Peter was confused by the whole encounter, who were Hunk, Keith, and Lance?

The girl grinned, "I'm Genesis, junior." She shot out her hand, Peter shaking it in greeting, "What a grip! You could be Superman with that."

Peter, Jackson, and Ned blanked at the same time, the three laughing it off awkwardly together. Genesis raised her eyebrows at this, but ignored it for the moment. "Anyway, I'll leave Hunk and Klance to themselves, Mrs. Zhang needs me in the auditorium."

Jackson looked frozen, Peter stayed calm, "It was nice meeting you, Genesis. Maybe we could all sit together at lunch?" Peter questioned, waiting for an answer.

Genesis smirked, "Yeah, I'll see you at your table," She turned to her best friend, who was a blushing mess by now, "You'll be there too, right Jacks?"

Jackson gulped, "Y-yeah, definitely." Genesis waves goodbye to the three of them, leaving them by the lockers awaiting the bell. Jackson stood still for a few seconds, leaving Peter and Ned utterly confused.

"Umm... Jackson?" Peter spoke, grabbing the Junior's attention.

Jackson hummed a reply, "Hmm?"

Peter looked genuinely confused, which wore adorably, "What's a Klance?"
———————————————————

Jackson found himself in the choir room of Midtown High before lunch. It was his 4th period after all; he had to be there. All his high school years he's been told just how difficult it is to balance theatre classes and choir classes at the same time, but Jackson Bailey was always up for a challenge.

Challenge. The word seemed a bit different to the boy now that he knew about the cute sophomore's heroic identity. Peter Parker faced many challenges on his own, and Jackson started to feel as if knowing about them would make his life just a bit more difficult. Another challenge would probably be trying not to fall for the young Parker.

To bad he's on the brink of failing it.

"Mr. Bailey?" The voice of his choir director, Dr. Terrence, snapped him out of his trance. He looked up to see his Hispanic teacher with an upset look displayed on his face, "Please see me after class."

I feel like that was a horrible chapter and I apologize for that. Anyway, Genesis is played by Kira Kosarin who is a queen. I'm also sorry for how long it took to update this. I hope you at least liked it a bit though, let me know what you thought.
