I walked into the kitchen, where my dad, Natasha and Clint were sitting around the island.

"Hey, kid, how was school?" dad asked as I sat across from him. I nodded and unfolded the sheet of paper before putting it on the island and sliding it to my dad. Natasha and Clint exchanged looks before glancing at my dad, who looked at me suspiciously.

"That doesn't look good." Clint spoke, drinking whatever was in his mug as Natasha shook her head in agreement.

"You're right, it's not. No way." Dad shook his head, pushing the sheet away.

"Dad, come on." I groaned.

"No, no way in hell." He scoffed.

"What is it?" Clint asked as Natasha took the letter and read it.

"It's a really cool science trip to New York National Park, that I really want to go on, and all of my friends are going and it looks so cool." I groaned, trying to sell it.

"Is Peter going on it?" Clint asked. I looked at him and huffed as he raised an eyebrow smugly at me.

"If you must know, yes." I scoffed.

"Thought so." He smirked, taking another drink.

"The important part that she so conveniently forgot to mention is the fact that it's an overnight trip." My dad spoke, looking at me and cocking his head to the side. I looked at Natasha.

"It looks super cool." I nodded.

"It does...come on, Tony, it's one night." She chuckled, looking at him. His eyes widened and I smiled at Natasha taking my side.

"No! No way. So many things could go wrong and none of us would be able to come and help, and I'm not okay with that, especially with my suit having just been stolen. Not to mention the obvious issue, how the hell am I supposed to sign it without giving her away?" he scoffed.

"Give me a pen, I'll sign it." Natasha spoke, putting out her hand and making my smile widen. Dad looked at her before flicking his eyes to me.

"Come on, Tony. You made her walk around the school without FRIDAY on her first day because you wanted her to have the authentic high school experience. This is the same thing." She shrugged. Dad sighed, still looking at me.

"When you say your friends, who do you mean? The usual suspects? Peter?" dad asked.

"Yeah. Ned, MJ, and Peter." I nodded. He sighed and shook his head. He grabbed a random pen that was sat on the island and handed it to Natasha.

"Sign it before I change my mind." He mumbled, making Natasha smile as she quickly scribbled her signature onto the dotted line.

"Thank you, dad, thank you, Nat." I smiled as she handed the paper to me.

"Don't make me regret letting you go." He warned.

"I won't." I chuckled.

"Oh, and if anyone asks, Nat is your aunt." He nodded.

"Got it." I returned his nod and gave Natasha and Clint one last smile before rushing off to my room.

I walked into school and sighed as I joined the flow of people. I looked to the side and smiled as I saw Peter stood at his locker, the door open as he rummaged through it. I smiled and bit my lip, digging the letter out of my bag as I walked towards him. I quickly ran up to him and held the paper up as he shut his locker. He turned to me and his eyes widened, stumbling back slightly as he tried not to walk into me.

"Jesus, Y/N, don't sneak up on me like that." He puffed, holding a hand to his chest. I ignored him as I shoved the piece of paper in his face again.

"Look." I demanded, making him lean his head back and squint his eyes at the paper.

"What am I looking at?" he chuckled.

"The signature!" I squealed. Peter's eyes widened and he took the sheet from me.

"Ey, you got it signed!" he laughed, looking at me.

"Looks like you, Ned and MJ won't be going to the New York National Park by yourselves after all." I smiled. He returned it before looking at the sheet. His eyebrows furrowed.

"Y/N, that looks like a woman's name." he mumbled, squinting his eyes to try and make it out as he moved the paper closer to him.

"Yeah, my aunt is my legal guardian as well as my dad, and he wasn't in, so she signed it." I shrugged. His mouth formed into an "O" and he nodded as he handed the sheet back to me.

"You want to come with me to hand them in? Make sure your dad can't stop you at all?" he smiled.

"Sure." I returned before starting to walk to Mr Harrington's class with him.

Peter's P.O.V

Peter sat in the library with Y/N, Ned and Michelle, doing homework before their next period.

"Am I getting this right?" Y/N mumbled, biting at the end of the pencil as she studied the sheet. Peter looked at her before looking at the sheet.

"What is it?" he asked, slightly moving closer to her so that he could see the paper.

"It's this stupid math homework. I started it an hour ago, but I still haven't figured out even the first question." She sighed.

"Well, how are you working it out?" Peter asked, resting his chin against his flat palm and looking at her. She sighed again and looked at the sheet.

"So, I'm figuring that if sine is x, that means that..." Peter didn't hear more as he found himself subconsciously zoning out Y/N's voice as he just looked at her. Recently, Peter had started to notice the little things about Y/N. Well, what he meant by recently was since about a week after she had arrived. First, he had noticed the way her eyes lit up when someone said something funny and the way she held her stomach when laughing. Then he had noticed what seemed to be her nervous ticks and habits, like biting the end of her pencil when she was working something out, or tucking her stunningly hazel hair behind her ear when she was in an awkward situation, or when she was nervous. Then it'd been noticed how gentle her smile was when she returned a smile that Peter had given her, or how she always either blushed or rolled her eyes when MJ made a comment about the two of them, depending on how suggestive said comment was. And now, he was beginning to notice the swarm of butterflies that always fluttered in his stomach whenever he so much as saw her, that feeling always getting more intense when she smiled at him or even did something like put her hand on his arm. He wasn't sure yet if he was calling it a crush, but he didn't mind if it was that.

"Peter? You with us?"

"What?" he mumbled, Y/N's voice snapping him back just like it sent him straight into thinking about her. He looked around, gulping as all three of them were staring at him.

"You okay there?" Ned asked.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine." He nodded, trying not to blush as he looked at Y/N, who was staring at him with a smile on her lips. The exact smile that made his stomach flip.

"Okay, weirdo. I'm going to grab a pencil." She chuckled before standing from the table and walking across the library to the supply station.

"So, how long?" Peter turned back around to see Ned and Michelle looked at him.

"Hmm?" he asked, raising his eyebrows.

"How long have you had a crush on Y/N for?" Michelle shrugged. Peter's eyes widened.

"What?! Pfft, I don't have a crush on her!" he exclaimed, his voice in a hushed yell so that Y/N wouldn't hear.

"Dude, yes, you do. You remember that time when Liz was putting up that sign for homecoming in the cafeteria and you were staring at her? That was literally how you were just looking at Y/N. Literally exactly the same, and everyone knows that you liked Liz." Ned nodded.

"Oh yeah, I remember that." Michelle smiled. Peter groaned and leant over the table slightly so that he was closer to the two of them, meaning he could speak in a hushed voice.

"Okay, yes, I think I have a crush on Y/N." he admitted.

"You think?" Michelle scoffed, making Peter roll his eyes.

"Fine, I do, one hundred percent, but I need you guys not to say anything to her. We've only been friends for a couple months, I don't want to ruin that just because I asked her out too soon or whatever." He sighed.

"So, you will ask her out?" Ned asked.

"Wait, no-I mean, yes-I mean, maybe, I don't know. I'm definitely not doing it now, if I were to ask her out, I would at least have to know that she likes me back first, I'm not losing my friendship with her over a crush." He spoke.

"Dude, just go for it, I can tell that she's crushing on you too." Michelle smirked. Peter's eyes widened.

"What-how do you know?" he gulped.

"I don't, but I have a feeling. Call it girl's intuition." She shrugged. Peter squinted his eyes at her.

"No offence, MJ, but I'm not going to ask her out based purely on the fact that you think she may like me back." Peter scoffed.

"She's coming back, act cool." Ned spoke. Peter gulped and subtly looked over his shoulder. Surely enough, Y/N was heading back to the table. Peter gulped again, his cheeks burning as he looked back down at his homework again.

Y/N's P.O.V

I walked back to the table, but my eyebrows immediately furrowed as something felt off.

"Alright, what were you bullying Peter about when I was gone?" I joked as I sat back down next to Peter, making them all look at me.

"What?" Peter chuckled nervously, a slightly panicked look in his stunning eyes as he looked at Michelle and Ned. It was as if he was begging them not to say something, but I shook it off.

"No, I just, something feels weird, the vibe feels different. It feels kind of awkward now." I shrugged.

"The vibe?" Ned scoffed.

"Yeah. Call it girl's intuition." I nodded. Peter's eyes widened and he looked at Michelle, who was smirking her ass off.

"Seriously, guys, what's wrong? I know that something is up." I huffed, knowing that they were keeping something from me. All three of them looked at each other, Peter's eyes becoming even more panicked.

"I, um...my aunt May walked in on me changing this morning, and it was just kind of awkward, and they were just teasing me about being walked in on...whilst changing..." Peter nodded slowly. Ned and Michelle looked at each other as they also nodded.

"Yeah, that's what we were talking about. That's why the vibe was awkward, we started telling stories about times we've been walked in on whilst changing." Michelle replied. I nodded slowly, still not fully believing them but I decided to drop it as I looked back down at my homework. I sighed, ignoring the looks that were still being exchanged between Peter, and Ned and Michelle. It was as if they were having an entire conversation with their eyes, and without me.

"Urgh, this homework is impossible." I groaned, resting my head on Peter's shoulder in annoyance. I was too pissed off with the homework to notice Peter tensing under my head and the suggestive looks that Michelle and Ned were giving him.

"Aren't you supposed to be some math genius?" Michelle smirked.

"Ha, no. Robotics, science and chemistry genius, sure, math genius? Hell no." I scoffed as I sat back up, making a small sigh leave Peter's lips.

"They're the same thing." She shrugged.

"They're really not, MJ." Ned chuckled.

"Let me take a look." Peter spoke, gently taking my sheet from my hands. His fingers lightly brushed mine as he took it, making me look down and blush as the scarce contact made butterflies flutter in my stomach.

"I would help you with it now, but we only have five minutes of study period left, neither of us would be able to make a dent in this work in that time." Peter sighed.

"Oh, god, I'm so getting a detention for not doing it. Thanks anyway." I returned Peter's sigh as I took the sheet back. His eyes widened slightly, as if he had just gotten an idea before he looked at me.

"H-how about you come over after school? Then w-we'll have plenty of time to work on it...together." He gulped, stuttering through his words.

"Won't your parents mind?" I asked.

"I live with my aunt May, and she's super chill with things like people coming over after school, especially for school work. It'll be fine." He shrugged, seeming a lot calmer all of a sudden.

"Um, okay. Obviously, I'll have to ask my dad, but I'm sure he'll be okay with it." I nodded. A smile spread onto Peter's lips at my words.

"Awesome, um, great, okay, I look forward to it." He smiled.

"You look forward to doing math homework with me?" I chuckled. His eyes widened slightly and a blush crept over his cheeks.

"Y-yeah, I like math." He shrugged, looking down. I chuckled again and shook my head before picking up my bag.

"You're weird, Peter Parker. Come on, we have chemistry." I nodded, prompting all of them to stand up too and start to leave the library with me.

"W-wait, a good weird?" Peter gulped, making me look up at him.

"Of course." I smiled. He looked down, a small smile also on his lips as he timidly looked back at me. I walked slightly ahead, walking to my locker that was on the opposite wall to Peter's and also a bit further down to him, Ned and Michelle stopping at his locker.

Peter's P.O.V

"I'm such an idiot." Peter groaned, opening his locker and shoving everything in as he also grabbed his stuff for chemistry.

"Yeah, you're failing miserably at covering your ass and pretending that you don't have a massive crush on Y/N." Michelle smirked.

"Dude, I'm sure it's fine, inviting her over so that you could help her with her homework is totally normal, in fact, it's what good friends too." Ned nodded. Peter returned it and sighed.

"I guess." He mumbled.

"Ooh, you've got competition, Parker." Michelle spoke. He looked at her.

"What?" he scoffed. She nodded behind him, making him turn around. What little smile he had on his lips completely dropped and twists of jealousy formed in his stomach as he saw Y/N talking to Cody Smith, a smile on her lips. He clenched his jaw and looked back at his locker before shutting it.

"Whatever. They're friends, aren't they? They're allowed to talk." He shrugged, refusing to look up.

"Uh huh." Michelle spoke. Peter rolled his eyes as he could hear the smirk in her voice before he started to walk towards Y/N.

Y/N's P.O.V

I stood at my locker, collecting what I needed for chemistry.

"Y/N." I looked to my side and smiled as Cody Smith walked towards me.

"Hey." I chuckled as I turned to face him and leant against my locker.

"So, I was wondering if you wanted to grab a coffee or something after school?" he asked. My eyes widened slightly and I stood up straight.

"Or we could go out for a pizza or something, anything you want." He shrugged. I chuckled nervously and tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"Cody, that's not the problem, um...I'm actually going to Peter's to study after school." I admitted. His mouth formed into an "O" and he nodded.

"Okay, fair enough. Another time, maybe." He chuckled.

"Maybe." I smiled. He returned it and nodded before walking away.

"Y/N." I turned around and smiled as Peter walked towards me.

"Hey." I smiled. He hesitantly returned it as he looked past me.

"What-um, what did Cody want?" he asked.

"Oh, nothing, he just wondered if I wanted to get coffee after school." I shrugged. Peter's eyes widened slightly as he looked at me.

"W-what about our plans?" he gulped. I looked at him.

"They're still happening, I said no." I spoke. He breathed a sigh of relief and looked down.

"You didn't honestly think that I'd cancel on you for Cody, did you?" I chuckled. He looked at me and smiled sheepishly.

"Sorry." He spoke. I shook my head and jokily slapped his chest.

"For the record, I'd take hanging out with you instead of Cody any day." I admitted, making him look down and blush as we started to walk to class.

"Good. Because I like hanging out with you too." He spoke quietly, smiling at me.

"Yeah, you better." I chuckled, making his smile widen as I gently nudged his shoulder with mine.
