[ Phone Calls ]

[ a series of ] Phone Calls

[ in which Angelika forgets to turn her phone off over the span of two weeks and gets called different times in different classes from different people and embarrassing herself. ]

Angelika's first year in highschool
( Peter Parker's senior year )

"WE'RE TAKING A TEST today so get your pencils out and calculators." Ms. Warren said at the front of the class, grabbing a stack of papers and preparing to hand out the tests.

There was a sound of shuffling as everyone grabbed their pencils and calculators as instructed, before patiently waiting for Ms. Warren to pass out the papers. Before she could do anything someone's phone went off rather loudly.

"Your honor, I'm a freak bitch, handcuffs, leashes, switch my wig, make him feel like he cheating-"

Angelika shrieked, rummaging around for her phone in her backpack, panicking as her ringtone continued. Her cheeks burned red as she finally grabbed it.

"This is the second time this week Angelika." Ms. Warren frowned. "Pick it up and turn it on speaker so everyone can hear."

Angelika panicked and glanced at Peter who looked at her with a 'been there done that' look and she groaned. She looked down at the contact name, displaying 'Papa' on it brightly.

"Well?" Ms. Warren said with a raised eyebrow.

Angelika sighed and answered the call, putting it on speaker as she asked.

"Angelika Barnes! Where the hell are you?" Bucky screeched through the phone and Angelika winced.

"Uh, Papa, I'm in school." She said and Bucky paused.

"School? Why the frick are you in school? It's a Sunday!" He said and Angelika turned redder as the students around her snickered.

"Papa it's Monday. Today's Monday." She said and he huffed.

"No, yesterday was Saturday. Remember I tried to kill Stevie on Friday, then I went into Winter Soldier mode yesterday, so today is Sunday!" He insisted and Angelika gulped nervously.

The students looked at her with wide eyes and Ms. Warren frowned, assuming it was some sort of prank call.

"No, you were in Winter Soldier mode for almost the whole day yesterday so today is Monday. Papa I swear. Check the calendar." She explained and there was a moment of silence.

"Oh. Wait, then are you in class? Ah shit, Steve's going to be so mad I called you. He's going to lecture me like his PSA's!" Her Papa practically whined and Angelika cleared her throat.

"Papa you're on speaker." She said and there was a pause.

"Oh. Is Peter there?" He asked and Angelika facepalmed.

"Yes." She responded with a defeated sigh.

"Hey Pete! I'm making lots of cookies tonight and I want you to invite Ned and MJ over. Also, my arm is acting up again, so I was wondering if you could fix it. I don't feel like talking to Stark right now." He said and Peter awkwardly cleared his throat.

"Uh- Uh yeah Uncle Bucky." He said and Angelika could practically see her Papa smile.

"Alright! See you later Pete, Ned and MJ. Angelika please focus on your studies and don't do anything stupid." He said and Angelika gasped.
