2 part mini series. Peter has a choice to make between two girls.
~.~
Peter met up with Alice at the breakfast place right on time. It was mostly uneventful, just two friends eating and laughing and talking. Until Flash made his presence known.
Throughout all of high school Flash had picked on Peter, but the latter didn't let it bother him. Yeah it was slightly irritating and distracting in class but Peter was strong willed and knew that if he stopped picking on Peter then he would just move onto another less deserving soul. So Peter suck it up and just tuned out all the jabs and the Penis Parkers and the insults thrown at him. Because he knew that Flash was just insecure and probably a really nice dude behind the façade. However, at the end of high school Peter couldn't have been happier when Flash went to college out of state and lost all contact with him. He thought that the teasing was finally over, only to run into the boy when he was out with a girl. God, this was going to be awful.
"Hey penis." Flash said casually as he walked over to the table, as if they were still in high school.
Peter just smiled up at flash, "Hey flash. Been a while, how's school." He always hoped that by being nice he would counteract the insults and persuade Flash to shut up, he was never that lucky.
"Oh you know... straight A's at MIT." he bragged not so humbly. He glanced over to Alice who was smirking at the whole ordeal, "Who's the girl?"
Peter sighed and motion to her, "That's Alice. She's a friend of mine."
"Penis Parker doesn't have any friends." Peter just nodded along with a tight lipped smile as Flash turned towards Alice. Alice wanted to berate the boy but rather she just hid a laugh knowing that his insults were superficial and didn't actually hurt Peter. "Especially no friend this fine."
Alice stirred a little uncomfortably at being called 'fine'. She was used to men yelling from the sidewalk or across the street but someone coming up and saying it to her face... they had some nerve. She shifted slightly, "Well it's true. Peter is my friend."
Flash whistled lowly and turned back to Peter, "how much did you pay her?"
Peter scoffed. If only Flash knew this was Tony Stark's daughter, not only would he shut up (probably) but the money thing that he often relied on wouldn't even come out of his mouth. Peter just leveled him a look, "Flash. I am completely broke. I barely have enough money for this breakfast. I promise you I didn't pay her."
Flash didn't really know how to retort so he just turned back to Alice, "If you ever want to spend time with a real man instead of a bum like Parker, I'll be over there." He nodded towards a table filled with what looked like stereotypical jocks and walked away towards the group.
Peter sighed and saw the absolute delight on Alice's face. He shook off a laugh, "Can I help you?"
"That was the guy who bullied you." She laughed slightly, "God Peter, how much of a wimp were you in high school?"
Peter laughed and took another bite of his breakfast, "It's not that I couldn't handle him, it's that I wouldn't. If I stood up for myself and got Flash off my back then he would just move onto another kid who probably couldn't defend themselves. I couldn't let that happen, it was my responsibility to just suck it up and deal with it."
Alice stared at him for a moment before obnoxiously gagging, "god Parker. You're too good for this world. It makes me sick." The rest of breakfast went by quickly and soon the two were leaving the restaurant and heading back to Peter's apartment.
