Alone

39: Skipping School

Elizabeth POV:

After getting out of bed and getting ready for school I walked downstairs to the kitchen where Tony and Happy conversed. When I entered the kitchen they turned and smiled, Tony walked over to me giving me a hug then grabbed his cup of coffee and took a sip.
"So Elizabeth, I've been meaning to ask you," Tony paused giving me a sly smirk, "Peter and you seem pretty close, are you two.."
I felt my eyes widen, and before he could finish his question I shook my head.
"What? No, we're not, we're just friends." Tony and Happy both laughed, I felt my face redden. "Happy can we go?" I said, grabbing my bag and starting to walk out of the kitchen and out where Happy parked his car. I quickly got in the car and soon Happy got in as well. Happy then began driving me to school.
"So, do you like Peter?" Happy said breaking the silence.
"Happy! No, no I don't. We're just friends." I said looking out the window, as my reddened again.
"Well, I mean you two hang out a lot and it's pretty obvious you both like each other. You can tell me, I won't say anything."
"Happy,"
"Elizabeth, come on, you trust me, I want to know." He said, making me let out a light laugh.
"Okay, but don't tell Tony, he'll make it obvious." I said turning and smiling at him, Happy laughed.
"So you like him?"
"Yes, but I don't know because I don't want to get close to him and then lose him, you know, because it seems that every time I care about someone, something comes and takes them away from me, and I can't go through that again. I can't lose you, Tony, or Peter." I said thinking about all the people I had lost throughout the years. Happy turned and looked at me.
"You're not going to lose us. Don't be afraid to care about someone because you don't want to lose them," Happy paused seeming to gather his thoughts, "If you do that, you'll never be truly happy, people will leave, and you'll be alone, and there is nothing worse then being alone in the world." I turned and looked at Happy, and he turned to me. "You have people who care about you, and they won't leave you. Tony and I won't leave you, and Peter, he cares about you. I know you don't know, but after Germany, Peter called me almost everyday trying to find out if you were okay, and even now, he calls me to check on you," I turned to Happy.
"When has he called to check on me?"
"The other night after you got back from Washington, he called that night to check on you make sure everything was okay after D.C." I smiled to myself at what Happy told me. "That kid man, he annoys me sometimes but, if there's anyone I would want you to stick by, it'd be him."
Soon we arrived at school, and as I walked in everyone talked about Spiderman, I smiled to myself knowing Peter would love this. I then saw Peter walking down the hallway, a bright smile on his face, he looked up and saw me and his smile widened. We then walked up to each other.
"Hey, you hearing all of this? They're all talking about Spiderman," he leaned in closer lowering his voice, "they're talking about me! can you believe it!"
"I know this is crazy Peter! You're famous!" I said excitedly.
"Hey um, I was thinking about skipping, and maybe trying to find the bad guys or something. Do you wanna come with me?" Peter asked, I nodded my head, and my smile widened, I wanted to spend some more time with Peter, and I wanted to help him find and catch these guys.
We then continued down the hall and down the stairs where we ran into Ned.
"Dude, what is it like being famous when nobody knows its you?" Ned asked excitement laced in his voice.
"Crazy man," Peter said whispering.
"Should we tell everyone?" Ned said now.
"No." Peter said shaking his head.
"Should I tell everyone?"
"No. That's not a good idea." Peter said letting out a nervous laugh.
"okay well we got to go to class." Ned said starting to walk away.
"Oh we're not going to class."
"But you're already in so much trouble for ditching on the trip."
"I figured it out, the suit guy is stealing from damage control, that's how he builds the weapons, all we gotta do is catch him." Peter said confidently.
"But we have a spanish quiz." Ned said with a slight whine in his voice.
"Ned, I'm probably never going to come back here." I looked at Peter confused as to what he was talking about. "Mr. Stark is moving the Avengers upstate, so when i bring this guy in,"
"Dude, you wanna be a high school dropout?" Ned said shocked and confused.
"I am so far beyond high school right now," Peter said starting to walk backwards towards the door, "Come on Lizzy, let's go." He said and I started walking, as soon as we turned around we saw the Principal standing firmly.
"Parker, Vornov, my office." He said leading us towards his office. I looked at Peter, and a worried look washed over his face as we were lead to the Principals office.

Peter POV:

As we sat in detention, the tv played one of the Captain America lesson videos. Elizabeth sighed and rested her head on her hand.
"So you got detention." Captain America said in the video as he sat down on a chair. "You screwed up," I rolled my eyes, sighing again at the situation. "You know what you did was wrong, the question is, how are you going to make things right? Maybe you were trying to be cool," Elizabeth turned and looked at me, giving me an amused smile. "Take it from a guy  who's been frozen for 65 years, the only way to really be cool, is to follow the rules." I sighed again, and turned to the door, then turned to Elizabeth who watched the screen, as she tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.

I tapped on her shoulder and nodded my head towards the door, she smiled and nodded her head. We then picked up our bags and walked out, I could here the faint voice telling us to stop, but I grabbed Elizabeth's hand and we began to run down the halls. Elizabeth laughed joyfully as we passed all the classrooms, I felt my smile grow across my face.
"Wait I just need to grab something." I said as I stopped running, and picked up the lockers and grabbed my web fluid. "Alright lets go."
