If I owned this franchise I would be rich and live in a mansion with a few cars and my parents could be happily retired, but they are not so therefore none of this belongs to me.

Peter Parker was having an okay day until the newest teacher outed him in class as having 2 doctorates and 3 more master's degrees on the way to getting those turned into doctorates. Peter had a doctorate in bioengineering and physics. Peter was headed towards doctorates in Chemistry, Geometry, and Engineering.

Peter had written multiple science papers that appeared on multiple science journals and was now being taught in colleges around the globe. Along with all of that Peter had created the newest element on the periodic table which teachers now had to work out how to teach about it without going through the elemental table again.

The newest teacher who was fresh out of college hadn't meant to expose Peter they just happened to see his name and asked if he was the one who had written some of the papers, they had to study during their college years.

"Hello class my name is Ms. Holden and the first thing I'm going to do is a roll call and then we will start on the lesson which will be talking about the newest element on the periodic table and who created it okay?" Ms. Holden asked.

The whole class groaned about going back to the periodic table because as far as they knew the newest element was Starkanium which was created by Tony Stark.

"Sally Avril?" Ms. Holden called.

"Here," Sally replied

"Betty Brant?"

"Here."

"Abe Brown?"

"Here."

"Cindy Moon?"

"Here."

"Ned Leeds?"

"Here."

"Michelle Jones?"

"Hi," MJ answered in her usually deadpan voice

"Pe-Pe-Peter Parker? As in P. B. Parker."

"Uhh--- I guess," Peter replied unsure of where this was going.

"Wow I had to read some of your papers for one of my classes and the element you created was absolutely amazing. How are you still in high school with your 2 doctorates and 3 master's degrees."

Peter who was now red faced with embarrassment looked like he wanted to sink into the floor to never be seen again replied, "Uhm Thank you, I guess. I didn't really create the element I was just to sleep deprived and decided to try and make something explode so I picked up the nearest thing which happened to have the right properties for me to make it an element. Mr. Stark came running into the lab when he heard the explosion and lo and behold, I was in the middle of the explosion with a new element right next to me. I didn't know my papers were being taught in college classes though they really aren't that good."

"You take credit away from yourself, loser," MJ told Peter because of his tendency to playthings down to make himself not seem to above others. Ned and MJ had tried a failed to completely understand Peter's paper. Now they aren't exactly unintelligent but with both of their minds combined they were only able to understand about ¾ of the paper. The papers even had bits and pieces that Bruce Banner and Tony Stark didn't understand because of Peter's area of expertise. Scientists had to group together to understand Peter's work. 

"I'm not it really isn't that good," Peter replied to the collected girl. 

"Yes you are, loser," MJ replied.

"You are, Peter," Ned told his friend. 

Peter denied being smart for 10 more minutes until his friends came up with an argument he couldn't reproach. This is the point when everyone in the class stepped in and started asking Peter questions for the next hour and a half.

Peter calmly answered each of the questions until the time for the class was up and then continued answering questions for the rest of the day because gossip spreads fast within Midtown High. 

Safe to say Peter was exhausted when he got home later that night. 

I know short but I lost inspiration for this story so it ended kind of badly.
