Avengers High School

Twenty One

Going back to school was hell. It did not help that you and Peter weren't exactly talking to each other. The only time either of you would talk to the other was if another person was present in the conversation.

Let's pretend we didn't kiss, he said. Everything will go back to normal, he said. Yeah, whatever.

Even though it sucked you still made it through the week. You were now headed to Carol's basketball game. Afterward, you would go to your house with the girls to hang out.

"So you were with your cousin the last week of the break?" you asked Shuri.

"Yeah. She's awesome. Our favorite thing to do is make fun of T'Challa. He hates it."

"Wait, what's her name again?"

"Okoye."

You entered the gym where the game already started.

"Oh, that's right. Did she go back to Wakanda?"

"Sadly, yes," Shuri said trying to find the others in the bleachers. She pointed them out to you and you began squeezing past others. "She really likes it here though. Her favorite place is Starbucks."

After squeezing past everyone you found yourself stuck between Wanda and Pietro.

"My love! You are finally here," Pietro said, wrapping an arm around you.

You rolled your eyes and took his arm off of you, "I told you to stop calling me that."

"The less you want me to call you that the more I will."

"Hey, where's your lame ass brother?" Natasha asked from behind you.

"Oh, he went chasing after Pepper the second we got here. We probably won't see him for a bit."

"Yeah, that's what I thought," she said leaning back, revealing Peter right next to her. When he saw you his ears turned pink and he looked away.

"Oh! Hi Peter."

He gave a small wave but didn't look at you.

Turning back around you watched the game. Trying to find out what happened in the time you missed.

You found Thor sitting at the front of the bleachers shouting and cheering as loud as he could. Which was very loud. He was more of a cheerleader than the actual cheerleaders were.

Looking at the other side of the bleachers you found a broad and tall scary man yelling at the girls on the other team. You assumed he was the coach.

Half time was called and the girls cleared off the floor. The cheerleaders then took over, music blaring as they performed. 

Leaning back into Natasha's lap you pointed at the man that was just yelling, "Hey Tasha, who is that?"

"That is Thanos. He is known for being the meanest girl's basketball coach around. I'm pretty sure everyone hates him."

"And he has a nut sack chin."

Natasha squinted at him, "Yes he does. He also has two stepdaughters on the team. From what I know they hate each other because the one has always been better at basketball than the other."

"Well that sucks. You know to have that dude as your dad."

She chuckled, "Yeah it probably would suck."

When half time ended the game continued on. For the most part, you had no idea what was happening. You'd clap when the others did or stand up and stomp your feet with them. The best part ended up being messing around with Pietro.
