School Life

{A/N Going to call Ben and May their actual names as it's less confusing then Mom and Dad}

I head out of my room after getting dressed and look over at Ben as I walk down the stairs and he look up to me and says,

"Mornin' sport, I made some eggs, if you want some."

I look over at them to see them over-easy, Im more of scrambled kinda guy, "It's alright, just leave them for Pete I'm going to eat some cereal." I say as I take some milk out of the fridge.

Peter groggily walks down the stairs and I ask, "Hey Pete, you alright?"

He slowly looks over to me, "Yeah, just tired after looking through some old research papers that came out."

"Oh? What was it about."

Ben has already lost interest in the conversation and proceeds to read today's paper.

"It was written by Dr.Banner and it was about Anti-Collision electrons and how they can produce charm quar..."

'....I guess Banner will become Hulk soon but I'm not sure when, I know Stark gets kidnapped early next year.....'

"Hey, are you listening?"

"Hm? Ah, yeah I am."

"Hmph, whatever."

"Sorry Pete, I'm not interested in Nuclear Physics, I'm more of a Chemistry guy, anyway go eat some breakfast before we go."

"Yeah, yeah."

Pete ate the left over eggs while I quickly poured and ate myself a bowl of cereal before we both rushed out the door.

Me and Peter split up to go to our respective bus stops. I step in and take my usual seat and wait until the last stop when MJ gets on.

Soon MJ gets on and proceeds to sit down by my side, "Mornin' Evan."

"Hey mornin' MJ"

I notice she seems a little out of it and ask,

"Hey MJ, are you alright?"

She looks up at me and says, "Yeah, it's just...." She looks at her shoes and I see her eyes turn a bit red.

I nudge her side and say, "Hey if you need to talk about something you can always tell me."

She smiles a bit and looks back up to me,

"It's just my dad has been struggling a lot lately in his writing and he has been starting to get really stressed and I don't know what to do."

'I guess this is the version with an abusive dad, but I don't think it has happened yet'

"Hey, I hope he gets better but, if you ever need help you can always tell me."

She smiles and nods, "Thank you."

A give her a bright smile and say, "Now, did you forget to do your homework?"

She looks surprised then panicked, "Ah?! I forgot!"

"Take it out I'll help you with it before the bus get to school."

"Heh, thanks Evan."

"No problem."

I help work on her homework for the rest of the ride before we get off she turns to me, smirks and says, "Thanks, tiger." Before walking off.

"Eh?!"

'Holy shit! MJ called me tiger!'

I walk off to class with some pep in my step. Then soon enter class to sit next to Harry,

"Mornin' Evan, something good happen today?"

"Eh? How'd you know?"

"You got an extra pep in your step."

"Hehe, MJ called me tiger."

He looks confused as hell "Okay...?"

I smirked and look at him, "You wouldn't get it."

He sighs then proceed to open up his backpack and I notice it's filled with tons of study guides and practice tests,

"Dang Harry, you're really pulling out all the stops."

He takes out his work while sanding, "Well I have to if I want to make my dad proud."

'Ah so he already has issues with his dad' I feint ignorance and ask, "Why?"

He freezes up and seems a little worried? Or maybe insecure but decides to talk,

"You know Ozcorp?"

'Ah he probably has had problems with people wanting to be his friend for his money or his dad.'

"Yeah? What about them?"

He scratched his head and said, "Well, it's my dad's company."

"Yeah, I know, what about it?"

His eyes went wide and he yells, "You knew?!"

"Hm? Yeah it was pretty obvious, your pops is pretty famous and your last name is Osborn."

He looks a bit more insecure and asks, "So did you want to be my friend because of that?"

I smack his head and say, "Harry, I don't care who your dad is or if you're rich, I wouldn't use you, if I wanted money then I'd make it myself."

I smile at him and say, "I'm friends with you because I like hanging out with you."

He seems a bit shocked and say, "Sorry for accusing you, and thanks."

"No problem, but you shouldn't worry too much about your dad, just be yourself because he's him but you're you."

He smiles and laughs it off while saying, "Whatever."

Soon class was over and I head to my next class, chemistry. The only person I recognize in this class is Gwen but I still haven't spoken to her yet.

We all sit down and I pull out my book filled with my trials for the web formula. I'm not as smart as future Peter but I'm getting close to cracking it. I currently am trying to figure out how to make it dissolves in a few hours after being exposed to oxygen.

I continue writing and thinking it out for a bit and have stopped paying attention to class when I hear someone speak next to me, "Wow, this is revolutionary, it took me awhile to even figure out what it is, Amazing.....an adhesive shear-thinning liquid that turns solid when excessive force is applied...."

I look over and see Gwen freaking out over my formula and raise an eyebrow towards her. She snaps back to reality and says, "Sorry, um..I'm your lab partner for today." She holds out her hand to me and says, "Nice to meet you, I'm Gwen."

I shake her hand and smile at her and say, "Nice to meet you Gwen, I'm Evan."

She smiles and says, "So, about your formula, what did you make it for? It's ingenious!"

I smile at her and say, "Well I made it for a project of mine but I still haven't quite finished it yet, the tensile strength is off the charts like I intended but I intend to have it dissolve overtime but, I haven't quite figured out the right amount of imbibed esters for the formula."

"Wow....." She snaps her head towards me and ask, "What's it's tensile strength?"

"Hmm, about around 120lb per square millimeter."

She looks at me with eyes wide as saucers then proceeds to scream out loud, "Incredible!!!"

The teacher and the rest of the class look over to her and she starts to blush from her sudden outburst and whispers a faint, "Sorry."

The class focuses back at their assignments and I get our assignment ready while laughing her off saying, "It's alright, I understand."

She smiles and says, "What do you intend to use it for? Are you going to patent it? It could revolutionize the construction industry, it's revolutionary, you could also...."

She keeps asking questions so I snap her out of it, "Gwen!"

"Ah, sorry....I got a little excited."

"It's fine just calm down a bit, Anyway about your question." I smirk at her and say, "It's a secret."

She pouts and seems dissatisfied but I quickly change the subject, "So, you wanna help me with it?"

"Really!"

"Yeah, I need help getting the right ratio of imbibed esters, as my goal is to have it dissolve over the period of an hour."

She looks confused and asks, "Why?"

"Don't worry about it, so do you want to help or not?"

"Ok!"

We proceeded to work on it for a while and quickly finished our assignment and even ate lunch together to continue working on it. We quickly became friend and I told her to come eat lunch with me more often.

School soon ended and I thought about my day, 'Hmm....I finally made friends with Gwen and even strengthens my friendship with Harry, I wonder what I should do to help MJ.....'

'Iron man is going to take place soon and I'm running out of time. I need to make sure everyone is safe during the Chitari Invasion. I should probably get some training soon and begin working out as I'm almost old enough to begin.'

'Hopefully everything works out....'
