"Mr. Harrington I'm telling you! Peter has never been in the same room as Tony Stark! He was absent for the whole week his name should be off the attendance register!"


Flash was quite frankly getting on Mr.Harrington's nerves. Being a middle school teacher for 5 years and a high school teacher for 10 had taught him quite a few things but he was almost willing to forget them all and punch the kid if he didn't shut up.


He rubbed his head "If you must know, Eugene, we received an applied leave sanction request from Stark Industries last Saturday signed by Pepper Potts herself. Now, we will reach any minute so PLEASE keep quiet."


The tone and color of all talks changed now. Flash looked pale. Everyone started talking about all the nice things Peter did.


"His brown hair, his perfect eyes...he is so perfect!"


"Did you know he took a day off to help his aunt carry stuff when she broke her arm?"


"He is soooo shredded! I try not to drool during P.E"


"He can do 400 pull-ups!"


MJ smirked and silently gave Ned a high five. Crisis Averted.


The Peter talk continued, till the driver yelled at them to get down.


The tower was a marvelous sight, a bold 'Stark Industries' written a the very top.


"Hello everyone!" A tour guide with short blonde hair and a jean jacket cried out.


"The schools joining us on this tour will be Midtown High, Bronx High, NYCU, Castrella High and Nexgen College. Midtown comes with me, Bronx and Castrella go to Jacob, NYCU and Nexgen follow Emily." She shouted, trying her best not to be drowned by the excited chatter of the kids.


Everyone went to their respective tour guides.


"Alright, so I am Rachel Wallace. Today I'll be your tour guide. Anyone got any questions?"Quite a few hands went up.


"Yes, you at the back, no before- yeah"


"Wasn't the tower sold off a few months ago?" Cindy asked.


"Very good question. See, Mr. Stark sold it but then Ms. Pepper bought the tower so before it was the Avengers tower and now it belongs to Stark Industries" Rachel said.


"Do you know Peter Parker?" Flash asked.


"I'm sorry, who?" Rachel said.


"The intern? No? See Peter doesn't work here-"


Mr. Harrington had had enough "Ms. Wallace, how many interns work here?"


Rachel replies, "Around 200...I suppose"


Mr. Harrington gestured to her "See? Peter must be-"

Flash was not done yet, he asked, "Do they accept high school applicants?"


Rachel scratched her neck, "You need to be a college freshman to apply son."


A heavy silence fell on the group.


"See? He was lying! Peter probably forged Ms.Potts signature. It's a felony!" Flash cried out


"If Mr. Parker did so, we need to have a word with his aunt, although I don't suppose the principal will smile upon such an act!" Harrington was indignant.


Most were disappointed, some never cared in the first place, Flash was ecstatic, Ned was panicking and MJ was confused.


She herself read Peter's messages, she knew he had an internship, but she also suspected something else. Time only strengthened her suspicions. But she prayed it was not true because then the Sokovian Accords would apply to him.

She really cared about him. Like a friend. Or at least that's what she told herself when she cared too much.
