Now he was fifteen.
Five years had passed since Tony had given Peter a memory loss pill. Peter could now only dream of meeting the famous Tony Stark.

"Ned!" A fifteen year old peter Parker gestured his friend over.
Peter had changed, his hair was no longer curly and untamed but styled and in place. The same could not be said for his loosely hanging, oversized, faded blue sweater.
Ned rushed over to Peter in his Hawaiian-style floral shirt.
"What?"
"Get down!" Peter pointed at the window to the drama class. An olive skinned girl was directing a small group of younger students, in costume, through to the backstage of the auditorium.
"Ned I-I think I've fallen in love." Peter blushed as he peeked over the windowsill. "Wait, let's just casually walk past, she can't see us anyway."
"Yeah..." Ned inhaled and began walking alongside Peter. She had left. He shrugged and continued walking with Peter.
"Hi guys." It was liz.
~goddammit~ Peter thought to himself ~well this is just great~
He looked behind him but Peter found himself tripping over Ned's Lego bag on the floor. As if falling down a never ending drop, the world seemed to stop and crumble all around him, like a fallen soldier or a bird of prey missing it's meal by a split second; humiliation churned his stomach and choked him and- (okay maybe peter is a tad dramatic but it was severely embarrassing for him)
She giggled and looked away. Peter placed his hands in his jeans pockets and tried (but failed) to act casual.
"Heyyy, Liz what's up?"
"Just helping out with the performance." The awkward silences were dreadful. "You like Lego? My little cousin loves building- um- planes and stuff...yeah," Peter scratched the back of his head and nodded.
"Hey Ned." She glanced over to his friend.
"Hey liz."
"Anyway, I better be going, oh um and good look with your um..." her eyes drifted to the Lego on the floor. "Millennium-falcon..."
peter watched her walk away and palmed his deep red face.
"Well that went well."

Peter and Ned strolled through the hallways chatting about Liz, lessons and just life in general. They called it the three "L"s.
"Hey look, damn I'd love to have his money." Ned laughed while walking past a poster of Tony Stark standing behind lettering in comic sans.

"You interested?" Ned looked over to peter.
"Nah, I'm no good, I like to keep a low profile."
