Peter Parker's Field Trip Catastrophe

Part 2

It was finally the day of the trip and Peter found himself to actually be excited and sharing his excitement with Ned even though the two had both been in the tower hell Peter lives there and still finds himself geeking out over all the gadgets.
But during this time leading up too, the trip Flash and his goonies were even more persistent with bullying Peter and telling him he was going to be humiliated for the rest of his life. Peter tried to ignore them but Flash often got agitated when Peter would not respond which would lead to the bully demanding his 'friends' to beat up the poor teenager.

Peter's class along with Mr. Lakes other physics class were all standing outside waiting for the yellow school bus to arrive so they can all begin their adventure to the wonders of Stark industries.
"So Penis are you ready to be humiliated in front of everyone?" Flash asked in a smug tone looking more confident than he usually did with himself. Peter just rolled his eyes at Flashes antics. But that was a mistake as the next thing be knew he was shoved back against the wall of the school while the other students pilled onto the bus that had finally pulled up.
"Don't get snarky with me Parker." Flash snarled at him making Peter move into himself. Just because he was spider-man didn't mean Flash's bullying hurt him any less. Peter often viewed himself and Spider-man as two different people as when he was in the suit he was confident with himself. But when he was just Peter Parker he was the shy nerdy kid who got teased every day and couldn't do anything about it.
"Hey, asshole. Just get on the bus." Michelle Jones or better known as MJ spoke up as she watched from a distance like she normally did.
Peter and Michelle had become friends quickly and now she was one of the few that knew about his identity as Spider-man. He didn't tell her she just found it out. Now Ned and MJ where his closest friends and he wouldn't have it any other way. He never said it enough but his friends were amazing. Even when he had all these powers they never viewed him as someone who was able to do things on his own. They often stood up for him and would try to protect him when he got hurt. Peter would often turn up at MJ's house after a nasty beating from Flashes friends and they would help him patch it up and cover the bruises with makeup which he was still surprised Mr. Stark hadn't called him out on yet.
"You are going to get what's coming to you." Flash muttered as he walked onto the bus finding a seat at the back with his 'friends' who would do anything Flash orders them too.

"Thanks, MJ," Peter said as the two of them walked into the bus finding Ned who was sitting near the front.
"Anytime loser."

The bus ride to the tower was surprisingly quiet with Ned asking Peter questions every now and then with MJ joining their conversation. But most of the ride was filled with Peter leaning his head on Ned's shoulder as he was tired from patrol last night where he had taken quite the beating which lead to him being up all night as it hurt him too lay down. But Peter was used to being tired by now.
But soon enough Peter's pleasant ride turned south as he heard Flash speaking about him with another random student who had never really voiced their thoughts about Peter and his internship he listens in with his super hearing.
"Stark industries has never hired high school students. I mean if they did why would they hire Penis. He is useless." Flash said and Peter felt eyes on him.
"Isn't that right Parker? Just come clean." Finn another one of Peter's bullies spoke up.
"Peter isn't lying. You are all going to be proved wrong!" Ned shouted back not doing much to help Peter but Ned couldn't let people make fun of Peter. What kind of best friend would he be if he did?
"No one asked you, fatso. Sad Penis got you and the weirdo in on his lies" Finn said. He would often refer to Michelle as 'Weirdo'
"Hey, Finn! Acting like a dick won't make yours any bigger." Michelle said calmly as Finn's face went red as people laughed at him but he quickly buffed out his chest and began chatting to his pals again.
"Hey, Peter. I know you have had a rough year but you really should come clean. We would understand we know you get bullied a lot. But come on making a lie about working with Tony Stark is a bit too far." Cindy Moon who was seated behind Peter said as she leaned over the seat.
"Please just leave me alone," Peter said as he got a couple more comments about admitting that he lied. Peter tried to bury his head further into Ned's shoulder which seemed to make everyone stop talking to him.
Peter and Ned were often called 'gay' for the way they acted together but the pair couldn't care less. They had been friends for so many years that it was just natural for them to cling to each other when they needed support.
