We were on the road for the rest of the day. I was exhausted and slept most of the time

Once we got back everyone met up with their families...
I wish I had someone that showed up for me.
Sometimes I wonder what life would be like if I had powers and my real family. Don't get my wrong I love having the avengers as my family but sometimes it can get lonely.
Like peter is an orphan too but he has his aunt...

I sighed and looked down at the ground as I sat on the sidewalk curb.

"You ok?"
I looked up and saw peter.

I smiled "Yeah..."
P: "Then why are you sitting here looking so lonely"
He sat down next to me and nudged my arm.

Y/n: "Cause I am"

He looked around.
"Do you have a ride home?"

I shook my head.
"No, I was thinking of getting a cab"

Peter sighed "my aunt can drive you home"
I looked at him and smiled
"I'm good thank you though"
He stood up and put his hands in his pockets.

He was about to walk away but then he paused
"No"

I looked back up at him
"What?"

He held out his hand.
"Just come"
I grabbed his hand and stood up.

"Today was crazy"
Peter said and I smiled

We got to my house and I got out. I thanked them but then peter walked me inside.

I felt an overwhelming connection and just wanted to kiss him. But instead, I just hugged him and walked inside.

The next day-
Last night I had dreamt that I wasn't able to control myself when I fell in the elevator. It was a horrible dream. I already felt off in the morning but now with that dream, I felt worse.

I went to school trying to not think about the dream.

I walked through the halls as the video announcements came on.

"This past weekend, Midtown's Academic Decathlon team defeated the country's best to win the national championship. Later that day, they also defeated death."
Jason said, one of the news announcers.

A video recorded by each of us decathlon students
"Explosion- Sally screams- Flash scream. Everybody screamin!"
...
"There were purple lasers and smoke everywhere, It was......just like a Bon Jovi concert!"
...
"As you know...we made it out alive, and that's the important thing. I couldn't bear to lose a student on a school trip...Not again."
....
Then my video played
"It was crazy! I slipped th-then that other superhero girl came along and caught me. I thought I was gonna die"

Jason: "Thankfully, no one was seriously injured, thanks to the Spider-Man and lighting spark"

Betty:" Thank you, Spider-Man and lighting spark"

J:" Up next: The Spider-Man and Lighting Spark mania is sweeping the school. How can you show your lighting and spider spirit?"

I smiled and stopped watching. Just then Peter and Ned walked past me. I went to go over to them. Peter was smiling after he saw the tv

"Dude, dude, dude. What is it like being famous when nobody knows it's you?"
I heard ned whisper to Peter as I walked over

"Crazy, dude."
Peter said

I walked over
"Hey guys"

"Oh hey, y/n. What are your thoughts about us telling everyone about.."
Ned said quietly alluding to telling everyone about him being spiderman

"Ned- No. I can't do that"
Peter said looking at him, still staying quiet.

"Well- Should I tell everyone?"
Ned said and I intruded in the conversation

"Ned that's not a good idea. Knowing about peters... means you have to keep everything a secret. If not you'll have to get your mind wiped"
I said jokingly and Ned gasped believing me.
"Ok- ok I'll stop"

Peter looked at me and smiled.

"Anyways we should go. We'll be late for class."
I said to them

"I'm not going to class."
Peter said to me and I looked at him with a confused look

"You're already in so much trouble for ditching the Decathlon."
Ned said

"Dude, listen, I figured it out, right? The wingsuit guy is stealing from Damage Control. And what he takes from Damage Control, that's how he builds the weapons. So all I gotta do is catch him."
Peter said and I felt like I shouldn't have heard that.

"But we have a Spanish quiz."
Ned said and groaned.

P: "Ned, I'm probably never gonna come back here. Mr. Stark is moving the Avengers upstate, so when I bring this guy in-"

N: "Dude, you want to be a high school dropout?"

P: "I am so far beyond high school right now."

I crossed my arms. And laughed
"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear any of that"

I said walking off then I heard the principal
"Parker, my office."

I looked back at him and looked at ned with wide eyes.

Ned sighed and shook his head, disappointed in peter.

Later- narrator-

Peter had gotten detention and sat in the detention room after school.

A video played of Captain America. He pulls up a chair and sits.
"So... You got detention. You screwed up."

Peter sighed and bit his lip in frustration.

"You know what you did was wrong. The question is, how are you gonna make things right? Maybe you were trying to be cool. But take it from a guy who's been frozen for 65 years, the only way to really be cool is to follow the rules."
Captain America on the small tv was saying but peter tuned it out completely.

MJ sat in the detention room but she hadn't gotten detention. She had an art project and decided to draw the students in detention.

"Peter"
MJ whispered, getting his attention,  and handed him a small ripped piece of paper.

Peter took the note and read it

Hey, I think you're really cute how about we ditch this place and go get some food or something like a date.

Peter read the note then read it again then once more thinking he misread it.

He had never thought someone could actually like him but little did he know two girls liked him, one more than the other.

Peter looked up at her and nodded.

The two got up and walked out. Coach Wilson who had to supervise detention looked up at the two and sighed.

"Hey, where you going? Get back here."
Wilson said without moving a single muscle and obviously didn't care.
