I'll Always Be There For You

Chapter 3

TW: Mentions of abuse, knives, whips, chains. I think that's it.

Sophia POV

After about one hour of talking with ms spider Peter handed in his test. He finished a couple minutes earlier but I knew he was second guessing himself like he always does. When he got back to his seat he looked over at me and smiled, taking out his own phone to probably text Ned and MJ.

After the three hours were done everyone who hadn't already handed in their test put their papers on the man's desk.

"OK that was th-" just as the man began talking a redhead walked into the room. Natasha freaking Romanoff was standing in the same room as me. I could tell Peter was thinking the same thing since we looked at each other and I could see the excitement in eyes.

"I'm here for the tests," she said in a monotone voice.

"Oh I didn't know someone was coming for them. I already graded a few of them. The times are written beside the nam-" again he was interrupted by a bang as someone jumped out of the vent.

"Hi can I ha-. Oh come on Nat again. How do you always win" Hawkeye whined.

"I'm just faster than you" She said, taking the test from the very confused man's hands and walking out the door. Hawkeye quickly followed after her. Everyone left in the room just sat quietly for a few moments before the man started talking again.

"As I was saying before we got interrupted, Mr Stark will choses the best 3 people from this group. 1 or 2 of all the candidates from this week will be chosen to be his personal interns and will work with him in his lab. The others will work with the other interns in the main workshop. This is a paid internship though the salaries will differ. Your results will be sent out soon via email. Take care" He said as he motioned to the door.

I picked up all my stuff and packed it back into my backpack. I put the bag back over my shoulder as Peter did the same and we walked out of the building together.

How do you think you did i sign

I think I did pretty well. He replied

He graded it in front of me so I think I'll get in

Really what did you get

105% I sign with a smile

Seriously

Yup

Then you'll definitely get in. maybe even be Mr Stark's personal intern.

If I get in then you're definitely getting in. were in this together I sign before hugging him

You have a lot of faith in me

Of course I do. I'm your best friend. I'm supposed to tell you shit like this.

Peter and I part ways after a bit and I go back to the café. I thank Maddy profusely for taking my shift and I get back to work. Hopefully for one of the last times. I leave the café at around 9 giving me more than enough time to get home before curfew.

I put my phone and hearing aids back into my bag as I turned the corner onto my street. I see that there are no cars in front of my house and assume that everyone she had over is already gone. I deem it safe to go up to the house but knock on the front door just in case someone is still here.

Ms L opens the door with a wide fake smile until she sees me standing there. Then her smile turns into a smirk.

"Well well look who decided to show on time today." She says slurring a bit. The second her mouth opened I could smell the wave of alcohol that passed through her lips. The smell made me want to puke though I kept a blank face on and just nodded.
