In memoriam flashed across a black screen with silly comic sans font. Lili silently laughed. For a school full of extraordinarily smart people they sure lacked editing skills. Pictures of various Avengers who lost their lives during their successful attempt at bringing back the snapped were shown on the screen while Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You played in the background.
"Gone but not forgotten," Betty Brant started with a serious look after the tribute video ended. Lilith stopped listening at the school's news. She never understood how Betty and Jason managed to do it she got second-hand embarrassment just from watching them.
Lilith turned over to her brother Beck who was drawing ever so calmly on his sketching pad. Out of the three Wolfe siblings, Beck was the most artistically inclined and he took much pride in his work. "Beck what the hell school's over and you're still drawing?" Lilith teased, she knew her brother could be drawing all summer if his life depended on it.
"My dear little sister art does not wait for school to start again," Beck said trying to sound poetic. "We're sadly the same age now Beck so please refrain from calling me, little sister," Lilith grunted annoyed. When the snap occurred Beck was 16 and Lilith was 11 when he was brought back by the blip they were no longer separated by the five year age gap from before.
"Hey, Lilith want to come with me and bother Peter and Ned?" Michelle Jones asked the Wolfe girl. Lilith and MJ had formed an unlikely yet close friendship after MJ caught Lili charring Flash Thompson's phone. "Sure anything to get away from Beck," Lilith said quickly getting up from her seat and walking over to where Peter and Ned were sitting.
Peter seemed to be babbling something to Ned before looking up at the girls that were approaching them. The two quickly sat up straight staring at the girls.
"Sup dorks?" MJ greeted the boys with her usual nonchalant tone. "You excited about the science trip?"
"Uh, yeah. We were just talking about the trip," Peter responded nervously.
"Yeah, and Peter's plan," Ned replied looking over at Peter.
"You have a plan?" Lilith asked. She was interested in what Peter could have possibly planned to do during a school trip. He was known for mysteriously disappearing so it wouldn't be a surprise if he did just that during the trip.
Peter looked over to Ned before responding, "I don't-I don't have a plan."
"He's-he's just gonna collect tiny spoons when we're traveling to other countries," Ned responded winking at Peter.
Lilith looked over at MJ slightly confused at the conversation they were having. "Like-like a grandmother?" MJ asked
"I'm not collecting tiny spoons, he's collecting tiny spoons," Peter replied pointing at Ned with his pen.
"Oh, okay," MJ said pointing between the two boys laughing forcefully. "That was a real rollercoaster." The two boys nodded in agreement.
"By the way, travel tip you should probably download a VPN on your phone so the government can't track you while we're abroad," MJ informed the boys nodding awkwardly at them.
"Smart. Will do," Peter replied just as awkwardly.
MJ walked away just a the bell rang leaving Lili behind with the boys. "Don't be embarrassed about collecting tiny spoons, everyone has their hobby," Lilith said reassuring Peter before smiling at the boy.
Peter was about to respond when Beck showed up putting an arm around his sister's shoulder. "Ready to go satan's spawn," Beck teased.
Lili blushed embarrassed by her brother, she quickly muttered a goodbye to the boys and walked out of class pulling her brother behind her.
"Beck what the hell is wrong with you?" Lilith exclaimed.
"Oh c' mon he obviously likes you so it's not like me embarrassing you is gonna make him like you less," Beck replied while taking out random objects from his locker.
Lilith sighed leaning her head against the cold door of her own locker. She wanted nothing more than the earth to crack open and swallow her whole.

author's note I originally had like 1,000 and something words but in my mind I kept hearing my sixth grade teacher saying that all I wrote was unnecessary so I rewrote everything.
