Peter Parker's Adventures

Field Trip to Landing an Internship

I was sitting in my seat before Chemistry was set to start as MJ was looking over my eye, since Flash had punched me, before school started.

"I know you got this whole, 'I can take it' vibe when it comes to Flash's bullying, because of what happened, but even I have to say this is getting to be a bit much, Peter." She said.

"I'm fine, MJ." I said and she frowned. 

"You are barely holding it together, after what happened with Gwen and Harry. Or, Ned having to move, Peter. Let someone else fight this battle for you."

"I'll be fine, please." I said softly and she sighed.

"Fine, but I'm sticking with you for our field trip."

"Surprised you still want go, considering it's Stark Industries." I said.

"I may hate the man for his past, but he did say after he came out as Iron Man, that his former Business Partner was the one selling the weapons under the table, and whatnot. I'm more excited since I heard the wage gap is higher for the working Women."

"As it should be." I said.

"You're only saying that, because I'm your best friend."

"Not true. I'd be saying it regardless. I did the math, one day when you and Gwen were venting about it." I said.

"Hm. Oh, you still on for Sunday at the hospital?"

"Ya. Ten in the morning, right?"

"Yes, and try not to be late without a proper reason."

"I'll do my best." I said and she nodded, before she pulled out her chemistry homework.

"So, since we're here. Can you double check my chemistry homework, while I spell check your English Essay."

"Huh? Oh ya, here." i said and handed it over. I quickly went over her work, and lightly circled the four wrong questions, before I turned my attention to MJ, who had handed me back my essay with a couple red marks through it/

"You have ten less marks, than your usual."

"Yay." I said which made her snort, before I explained all the wrong problems to her, which made her nod, before she fixed them. Forty-five minutes later, we were all piled onto the bus and were being driven to Stark Industries.

"You okay, Peter?" I heard MJ ask over the music I was listening to softly.

"I'm fine. Just thinking about what we could end up seeing." I said.

"Find any new bands?"

"I did actually. Here." I said and held out my headphone to which she carefully took and put in her ear.

"Ya, who is this?"

"I Prevail."

"Hm. I'll look them up myself later." She said and I nodded before I put my headphone back in, and tuned out everything until we arrived. I was fixing to walk off, when I felt a hand on my arm, making me stop to see Old man Stan. 

"Good things are coming your way today, boy. Don't let everything hold you down. It's not what she'd want." He said.

"I'll keep that in mind, Stan."

"I'm always here to help you. Remember that."

"I will. I'll catch you later." I said and he nodded before I walked off. MJ raised an eyebrow but didn't ask, as we all walked in.

"Midtown High?"

"That's us."

"Wonderful. When I call your name, please come forward and get your pass, then step towards the security guard, and they will take it from there." The lady said.
