Your POV

I haven't mentioned this to anyone yet but at some point during this week I joined the academic decathlon team with MJ, Peter and Ned. I've never joined one and I honestly didn't want to but the teacher that led this thing begged me to after he saw my grades from my last school. I said no but when he said that they were going to DC at the end of the week (today) and that they would take me with them to watch, I immediately changed my mind. We would stay over night for a few days at a hotel and we would get to go sight seeing too. I just couldn't miss this chance to mess around on my own with all my friends together.

It's the present day, the day we leave and everyone's here's except for Peter because of his 'Stark Internship'... Whyyyyy does dad have to keep him here!?
........or so I thought until I saw him running over to the bus where we were waiting to get on.
"What's he doing here?" I whispered to Liz confused.
"Guys!" He shouted running up to where me and Liz were.
"Hey it's Peter!" That one guy in the back yelled with an African accent. I have no idea who most of these people are but they seem cool.
"Yeah.. I was hoping I could rejoin the team?" He asked looking from me to Liz. She's the team captain- I'm just the friend.
"No!- No way" Flash shouted pushing through everyone including me and totally made me fall over but I caught myself before I hit the ground with a scowl. I put my hands on my ears as I got up in pain. Stupid jerk.
Flash... He's not included in one of the cool people but he did turn up that song for me at the party the other night.. although I get the feeling now that he doesn't like me after I ignored him during gym that one time but it's fine because hes getting on my nerves.
"You can't just quit on us, stroll in and be welcomed back by everyone-" he stomped his feet over to peter with anger and annoyance in his tone. Ugh, this guy is annoying...
"Heyyyy, welcome back Peter! Flash, you're back to first alternate" mr-... Er- I forgot his name again...
"What?" Flash asked with venom dripping from his tongue. I accidentally let a little giggle come from my mouth a little too loud.. He looked at me with scrunched eyebrows then back to the teacher.
"He's taking your place!" The guy with an accent yelled from the back.
"Uh, excuse me. Can we go already cuz I was hoping to get some light protesting in, in front of one of the embassies before dinner" MJ shouted out walking up to me after putting her suit case in the back of the bus.
"Protesting is patriotic, let's get on the bus!" the teacher pointed to the bus behind him. I couldn't help but laugh at the comment from him too. This guy is just so weird and clueless that it's actually funny. How did he become the leader of something like the academic decathlon team?
Flash threw his yellow coat at Peter with the most force he could gather which wasnt much. Only the people on the team would wear that kind of jacket. I don't have one yet but the teacher said he ordered one already for me. He's very excited for me to be on this team apparently.
We all climbed on the bus and chose our seats. Me and MJ sat towards the back but Ned was still a seat behind me. We all had our own seats so I sat in the one behind MJ. Peter was somewhere towards the front of the bus to practice with the people who would actually be doing the decathlon thing. They practiced random questions and for some reason I knew almost every answer like it was nothing. I guess having Stark blood in my veins led me to be the some-what genius I am today.. but I'm not a genius. Just a little smart. But I will be a genius one day. Also, being a Stark is nothing compared to how much I study anyway...
Me nor MJ or Ned participated in their practice. Personally I felt like I'd just be in the way but I think the other two just didn't feel like doing it.
I was listening to music on my phone when I noticed peter get up and sit behind Ned's seat talking on the phone to someone. And although I don't have any business in listening in on that, I still wanted to hear....
"-is a complete violation of my privacy!" Peter said talking into his phone. Then randomly he whispered "-that's different," probably to Ned who was trying to talk to him.
"What's different?" The person on the phone said.
"Its just the athedemic decathalon, its no big deal!"
"Hey, hey, ill decide if its no big deal.... Sounds like no big deal but im watching you," the guy on the other side said. Maybe it was someone from the internship that found out he was leaving for this trip. I guess it's fine.
I should probably mention that his call isnt on speakerphone, my new hearing is just amazing.
