Chapter 1/2

THURSDAY

During school, Peter had a feeling that he forgot about something. He was sure it wasn't important, so he just continued with his day and went to his last class of the day, where he met with Ned, and they went together to sit with MJ.

"What's up, losers?" Peter immediately notice that she didn't even look up from her book, which was normal for her but he wonders how she knew it was them.

"Nothing much, I'm just disappointed! I can't believe that I have a dentist appointment during a field trip!" Peter wiped his head around to face Ned with a confused expression.

"What are you talking about? What field trip?" Both of them were looking at him with amusement. "Today is the day when they announce the tests results to see who qualified to go. Can't believe you forgot!"

And at that moment Peter remembered. A week ago all sciences teachers told everyone that they manage to arrange an exclusive tour of some company. They said that it was hard to get because of its popularity. They didn't say to which company, claiming that it would be a surprise. But it was only for fifteen students, so they composed a test, and top 15 scores will be going.

Before Peter could open his mouth, Mr Warren chose that moment to enter a classroom.

"Good afternoon everyone! Today I announce who will be going with me on a field trip!" He said with a big smile which was somewhat weird as this gay almost never smile. "And before I read the list, I just want to say, that I am extremely proud of this class as it has nine students to qualify."

At that class erupted in excited whispers.

"Settle down, please! Let me read. On top, with max points, we have Peter Parker..."

He felt himself blush when he heard light clapping. He really didn't like the attention. He knew that he was good at science and for him this test was easy but he never voiced it after the exam when he heard his peers complain how hard it was.

"Next for this class in fourth place..." He turned down the teacher when he felt Ned nudge him.

"Congrats, men. You know, even when I know that I can't go to it would be awesome if I qualify"

"Don't worry Ned even if you didn't, science isn't your best subject. You are genius with programming and math." Peter said with a smile.

"Its suck to be you loser," MJ whispered. "You will be all alone there."

"What do you mean?" He asked, turning in her direction.

"Think about it. Ned isn't going and I for sure didn't make it. My subjects are math and biology." Realisation has drawn on Peter's face and he slammed his head on the desk. He felt MJ patting his arm. She wanted to say something but was cut when the teacher said.

"And in the last place, we have Ned Leeds." In the blink of an eye, he felt excited again as he realized that this trip will be Flash-less as he didn't hear his name being called.

"It's time to tell you to where we will be..."

Ned raised his hand, cutting the teacher "Sir, you can give my place to the next person I have a dentist appointment tomorrow so I can't go."

"It's a shame, Mr Leeds. So next person in 16th place is Flash Thompson." And at that, Peter's head is again slammed on the desk.

"Okay, so we are going to STARK INDUSTRIES!" Peter's head was up in seconds with his mouth hanging open. The eight other people who were going were cheering delightedly but the rest of the class were slacking with the 'kick puppy' look. He heard someone mumble about lost opportunity. But Peter wasn't happy at all. Peter just wanted to go to bed and die. He couldn't believe how unlucky he was.

After the whole Vulture thing, Tony (Yes, he was Tony now not Mr Stark) started spending time with him. At first, it was only once a week to update or fix the suit but after only being there the second time Tony left him in the lab to answer the phone and Peter being himself started snooping. He spotted a glass board with an equation on and he thought that he could help out and he started solving it.

FLASHBACK

"What are you doing?" Tony exclaimed walking up to him, his eyes never leaving the board.

"Um... I- Um... was just trying to help out. I'm sorry... I..."

"Kid. This isn't something they teach in high school..."

"I know I'm sorry" He cut in "I'll never..."

"Peter stop talking! This kind of math you learn at MIT after a year of study." He said looking at Peter with a calculating look. "Shit kid, I knew you were smart but this... Why aren't you already in college?" Peter didn't know how to answer. It's true he was bored in school but he honestly didn't know he was that advance. "I don't know I guess I'm a little smarter than the rest of class but..."

"A little!?" He shouted. "Kid, you are a genius I bet you are smarter the half of my R&D department." Peter blushed while his eyes travelled to the ground. "Why don't you come to my lab more often?"

END FLASHBACK

After that Peter pretty much became a real intern. His relationship with Tony improved, and now he basically lived at the tower. He was there on Mondays, Wednesdays, and since Aunt May started to take weekend shifts he slept over there from Friday to Sunday going back home in the evenings. Heck, he had his own room at the penthouse. The sound of a bell pulled him out of his musing.

"I see you guys tomorrow, I have to talk to Mr Warren."

"Tomorrow its Friday, loser. You're going to SI. See ya on Monday" And then she left. He felt Ned's hand on his arm. "Are you giving up your place?"

"Yes, it's not fair to the rest. I'm there practically every day, someone else can go on my place. Besides, I'm going there tomorrow anyway."

"Heh, you right. See you on Monday."

When he left, the only people in the classroom was teacher and him. He stood in front of the desk and waited for the teacher to notice him.

"What can I do for you, Mr Parker?" He said not looking up from the computer.

"I want to give up my spot on the trip, sir." At that, he looked at me. "Why, Peter? You are the brightest student here and you rightfully have a place. You score a hundred on the test we thought will be impossible. Don't let this opportunity slip away."

"Well, you see... Wait! You made a test you thought will be impossible to solve?! Why? It's not fair!" Mr Warren chuckled. "Peter we just wanted to avoid students having the same score. You know, you really surprised us, the next highest score was sixty-eight." He was stunned by this information. Here he was thinking this test was easy. Maybe Tony is right about him. He should be in college.

"Wow, Mr Warren! Really!? I mean... Nevermind. I know it's a great opportunity but not for me. I already have an internship there. It wouldn't be fair to the others if I went on a tour of a place where I am almost every day." He said with a gentle smile. Mr Warren sigh and stand up.

"Peter. I was really hoping it wasn't you who spread that rumour."

"What are..." He started but the teacher held up a hand

"I know after your Uncle died you were in a hard spot but you have to stop seeking the attention. You can't honestly say that we will believe in that lie. Peter, SI internship? They only admitting college graduates and even then sometimes isn't enough. Their numbers are in one digit." After that speech, Peter was gaping for a couple of seconds but after realizing what his teacher was saying to him, he started to get angry. Is that what people think about him?! For a moment he contemplated showing him his ID pass. Pass that has access to the whole tower. Pass with so much clearance that even Happy didn't have. Of course, the only difference between his and Happy pass was that his had unlimited access to the penthouse and Tony's private lab. But after a moment he back of. He will show them all that he is not a lier!

"Okay then, I will see you tomorrow, sir." He said through his teeth and walk away.

He couldn't believe it. He was at the same time angry and humiliated at the thing people thought about him. When he walked to the apartment he put the permission slip on the table with a sticky note to ask May to write him a note that says he could stay at the tower after the tour. It was waste of time going back to school just to come back to the tower by subway.
