Endure and Prevail | Peter Parker [DISCONTINUED]

four | "i think something bit me"

"My life has changed, and I'm changing with it."

The sound of Today's Hits blasting into Rosalinda's ears from her earphones muffled out the multiple conversations carried throughout the small bus.  Rosie had her head leaning against the window of her seat, watching cars driving past their small bus, honking their horns and sometimes flipping off the bus driver.

The feeling of someone tapping her shoulder caused the brunette to take out one earphone and turned to face the person, who was her best friend Peter Parker.  "Yeah?" She asked, staring at the smiling boy who was playing with his camera that was strapped around his neck.  "We're almost there.  Are you excited?"

Rosie giggled at her friend's excitement, nodding her head in response.  "Yeah, totally.  Val is going to be our tour guide." She informed him.  The sound of multiple students' gasps got the two teens' attention.  They both stood up from their seats, their eyes widening in admiration as they saw the Oscorp tower coming into view. 

"Alright class!" Their teacher, Ms. Warren stood up from her seat in the front row.  "When we get inside we'll all go to the lobby area and you all will wait while I check us in.  From there our tour guide,  Valentina Garcia will show us around, telling us about the company's work and history."  She explained as the bus pulled into the underground parking lot. "What do you think they are going to show us?" Peter asked, his lips curled into a large smile.

Rosie shrugged her shoulders, "Probably everything." "Woah." He gasped. All the students on the bus suddenly jerked forward, grasping onto the seats for support as the bus came to an abrupt stop, parking. 

One by one, students piled out of the bus, making their way to the large elevator.  Peter and Rosie stood by each other's side with their group of friends following closely behind.  "H-hey..." Peter spoke up, his hand scratching the back of his neck.  "Do you think since we know Valentina, she could give us a private tour?" He asked, a hopeful smile on his lips.   The two teens and their entire class stepped into the elevator, waiting as the large moving cubical raised from the ground.

Just as Rosie was about speak, Peter opened his mouth again, cutting her off.  "It's j-just that our class is l-loud so I won't be able to hear most of the tour.  So I w-was hoping she could give one just for u-us." He stuttered, blushing from embarrassment. Rosie couldn't help but smile at her friend's stuttering, finding his nervousness quite adorable. "Of course. I'll try to talk to her but I can't make any promises."

Peter quickly nodded, swallowing the lump in his throat, feeling his Adam's apple bounce. "Y-Yeah. I understand. Thank you." "No problem Pete."

The elevator then came to the stop, the large metal doors sliding open and revealed the lobby of Oscorp's tower. "Wow." One student gasped. "Alright class. Wait here while I check us in." Ms. Warren said as she walked over to the receptionist desk while the entire class just walked around the lobby, admiring the sculptures, pictures, and other things that were laid out in the open-room.
