Natasha smiled at the boy named Peter. He was three or four inches taller than her. He had brown eyes and brown hair that was brushed neatly to the side.

"It's nice to meet you, Peter. I'm Natasha." Natasha said.

"I'm Pepper." Said a voice behind Natasha.

She turned to see Pepper had caught up to her.

"So uh," Peter started awkwardly, "can you tell me where art class is?"

  "We were actually heading there right now." Pepper said, grabbing his arm and leading them to the class room.

 "Here we are!" She said, snatching the attention of everyone in the class.

 Natasha walked in behind her friend and Peter. All the girls in the class gave her looks. Peter noticed the looks they were giving and turned to Natasha.

 "What's up with them?" He asked.

 Natasha arched an eyebrow. "You haven't heard the rumors?" 

 He shook his head. "No. This is my first official class. My aunt just barely brought me here."

 Natasha nodded and walked over to her seat in the back of the room. They were all seated at four chaired tables. There were a bunch of them scattered throughout the room. The teacher's desk was at the front of the room. Along one of the walls was rows of cabinets all filled with art supplies. 

 "Everyone," Mrs. Bernard cleared her throat to get the attention of everyone, "This is Peter Parker. He is new here. Everyone say hello."

 The students echoed the last word, sounding like a group of robots.

 "You may go sit by Natasha and Pepper."

 Peter nodded and smiled at the teacher. He then walked to the back of the room and took his spot next to the two girls.

 Finally class was finished and all that was left was gym class. It went like it normally did, consisting of the coach yelling at them every three minutes or so. But it was nice to see Clint again.

 When the bell rang signalling that it was time to go home, Natasha changed back into her school uniform and started for the door.

 The air outside sent a shiver down Natasha's spine. It thrilled her that the cold weather was finally here. The ground was still dusted with snow reminding her of powdered sugar. Some teenage boys were running through it, leaving footprints everywhere. 

 Natasha smirked. It brought back memories. She started walking down the steps, taking extra caution not to slip and embarrass herself.

 "Hey! Natasha!" 

 Natasha turned around to see who had called for her. She smiled when she saw the familiar face of Clint Barton. 

 "What's up?" She asked while she fiddled with her backpack strap.

 "I, uh, I have a, uh," he took a deep breath and tried again. "I have a question for you."

 Natasha rose an eyebrow. "And what would that be?"

 He swallowed hard and looked up in her eyes. "Will you, uh. Will you go on a date with me?" He asked.

 Natasha watched in amusement as he tried to maintain eye contact. When he failed, she couldn't help but blush slightly. He was kind of cute if she was to be honest.

 "A date? Where?" She asked.

 "I haven't gotten that far yet. I was expecting to be rejected. So what's your answer?" He asked. He obviously had regained his composure and now stood tall.

 "Well, sure. Yeah. That would be fun," She answered. When his face lit up, she couldn't help but smirk.

 "Great!" He said, almost bouncing up and down. When he noticed her watching him, he stopped and straightened up, "I mean cool. Can I have your number so I can text you when I've decided were to go?" 

 "Sure," she said. She pulled out a paper from her notebook and wrote her number down on it. After retrieving another piece of paper from the notebook, he wrote his number down.

 "Ohhh. Clintys got a girlfriend." A taunting voice said from behind Natasha. She could tell, by the glance Clint gave her, that it was Tony.

 "Tony." Was all Clint said.

 "I'm not his girlfriend, Tony." Natasha simply stated, turning to face him. 

 "First, she's together with Steve," Tony's voice now sounded like a sport announcers, "Next, she's kissing Loki in the halls, and now, she's gotten a new boyfriend. What's gonna happen next?" Tony laughed.

 "Just leave them alone, babe." Pepper came up behind Tony.

 After a final mocking grin at Clint, Tony shrugged and walked away with Pepper.

 "Ugh. Stark is so annoying." Clint said.

 Natasha turned back towards him and nodded her agreement. "Well, I better go. Text me when you can." 

 She started walking towards the gate and entered the pin. The walk home was cold but when she arrived at the apartment, she warmed up immediately. 

 The rest of the day passed quickly and Natasha couldn't stop thinking about her future date with Clint. With that on her mind, for the first time in awhile, she slept with no nightmares.

Short and uneventful chapter, I know. But I didn't really have any ideas and I needed to get this out quickly. But hey! I updated twice in one week.

So, I'm thinking of going over this and editing. What do you guys think? I would keep the plot the same but just touch up on a few things. Comment what you think about that. And if I do edit it, it would probably be after I've finished with the story.

So hopefully you guys are liking this book. I hope I'm not dragging it out. If I am, let me know please. And thank you all so much for just over 1000 reads! I'm super happy about it.

If you liked this chapter, please leave me a vote. And feel free to comment.

Have a fabulous day!
