[I've reached 7k! Thank you all so much. cx]

You're trying your hardest not to break your pencil, keeping your eyes locked on the clock above the door.

"Hey, (Y/n), guess what," Tony whispers from behind you, lightly poking you on the back with his eraser.

Mr. Fury had the brilliant idea of switching seats, placing Tony behind you. It's been a few days since the party, and with Tony's new seat, he finds some reason to bug you everyday.

"What," You snap, turning and stare down at his blank paper.

"I need help," He admits, grinning lopsidedly as he slides it forward. "Think you could give me a hand?"

"No," facing the board, let out a deep breath. And that's when Tony pokes you again. Reaching back, you snatch his eraser and chuck it at the wall. It hits the clock, bounced off the hand, and smacks right into Mr. Fury's head. You gasp, reeling back when he turns with a furious glare.

"Who did that," He demands, standing slowly. "Tell me who threw that goddamn eraser or I swear to god I will give each of you detention."

"It was me," Tony declares, puffing out his chest when Mr. Fury turns to him. "It was an accident, of course."

You frown, about to say that you threw the eraser and not Tony, but he sees this and jumps to his feet. "I guess I'll be going to the principals office then, huh?"

"Wait!" You shrink down when their eyes turn to you. "I-I'm the one who threw it, not Tony."

"(Y/n)," Tony makes a gesture meaning zip it, but you shake your head.

"He kept poking me, so I grabbed it and threw it at the clock.. and then it bounced off and hit you. I'm very sorry!"

Mr. Fury nods, grabs you and Tony by the forearm and push you outside of the classroom. "Talk out your issues. I have no time for teenage drama. Either become friends or you two will sit together for the rest of the year until you do. Am I understood?"

You and Tony both agree, slumping against the wall. "You started it."

Tony snorts. "Right. Because I'm the one who threw the eraser."

"Well you kept bugging me," You resist the urge to hit him as he smirks. "Why are you so fixated on me? Am I some sort of challenge in your eyes just because I don't like you?"

He shrugs. "I guess so."

Mr. Fury ends up assigning you and Tony permanent seats next to each other after you attacked Tony.
