It had been three weeks since Peter woke up and he was slowly getting better. He still had bad days but he was surrounded in people that loved him and constantly reminded him they loved him, so he was okay.
He was getting there. And now he was going back to school. He was extremely anxious and nervous, he was widely known as Mr. Stark's intern that tried to commit suicide, so it wouldn't just be normal for him to return to school.
Things would be different and he knew it. But he wants to try. So he plasters a smile on his face and says goodbye to his aunt and mentor. They'd moved in once Peter woke up so they could be closer.
He makes sure his bag is around his shoulders and goes down to the garage. He slides into the back of Happy's car and the man smiles at him. "Hey kid. How are you?" He asks.
Peter grins. "I'm kind of nervous to be honest but I think things will be okay and I can't wait to see Ned and Michelle's reactions because they don't know I'm coming back to school. Also I had a lot of gifts from teachers and students I didn't even know so I'm going to thank everyone that gave me things..."
Peter keeps going on and on and on, all the way through the ride. And Happy listens. He nods every once in a while, commenting at some times and making sure the kid was happy.
Because he didn't listen before so he sure as hell would now. "See you after school Happy." Peter says, climbing out of the car once they get there. "Yeah kid. See you." He responds, driving off. (Peter only feels a little guilty for the rant)
Peter keeps his head down and walks inside. But then people notice him and he's afraid of what they'll do. That they'll approach him and walk on eggshells around him, but they don't.
They shoot smiles at him every once in a while, but other than that, they leave him alone. He makes it to his locker and pokes Ned's shoulder. Ned spins around and his face lights up.
"Peter! You're back!" He exclaims. Peter laughs and nods. "Yeah Ned." He says. Peter sees !ichelle walk up and his eyes light up. Oh yeah, I forgot to mention-Michelle pecks Peter's lips and everyone but the three are shocked.
Peter blushes and Michelle smirks. Ned laughs. "Come on Peter. Let's get to class before we're late. You've missed a lot and we're already on to the next unit." Ned says. Peter nods, following him, when a voice stops him.
"Parker." He winces at Flash calling his name. At least it wasn't Penis Parker this time. Peter sighs and turns around. "Yeah Flash?" He asks tiredly, a frown on his face. Flash looks down guiltily.
"I, uh, wanted to say I'm sorry." He says, shocking Peter. He looks back to his friends in confusion. They nod in confirmation. He looks back to Flash. "All those stupid insults I used to say were wrong and rude and I'm really really sorry. I guess I was just jealous because you always had the better grades." Flash admits.
Peter blinks in shock for a few seconds before walking up to Flash. He puts a hand on his arm and smiles. Flash looks up, confusion flashing in his eyes. "It's okay Flash. Friends?" He asks. Flash grins.
"Sure. Friends." Flash responds. Then Peter nods at him and goes back to the others. Flash stays behind and Peter gestures for him to follow. Maybe it would take a while to get used to but he really was okay.
So he talks. He talks about the newest movies and Legos with Ned. He talks about English projects and books with Michelle and he talks about Spider-Man (haha) with Flash.
He talks like he used to. Even more in fact. He won't be quiet. Not anymore.
