First day back at school. I could get through this easy. People would try to talk to me and treat me differently, and I understood that. Nothing has to change. I could do this. Mom and dad were just a phone call away.

"Kid? You have to leave the car eventually. Press could arrive at any second, we were lucky to escape them on the freeway" Happy told me rolling down the car barrier

We were parked near the front entrance of the school and i could already see a few people lingering outside. I wanted to get here early so I could avoid the crowds.

"I know. I'm just mentally preparing myself. Okay. I got this" I told myself and I walked out of the car

So far there was no press surrounding the school and hardly anyone noticed me. Maybe today will be easy. I straightened out my new clothes and I walked straight inside of the school. So far so good.

"That's Peter Stark!" I heard someone shout

I turned and I immediately saw people walking over to me. Of course once people heard that, more people showed up and started to crowd me.

"We had no idea you were Tony Starks son. That must be amazing"

"Are you single?"

"How's it like living with the avengers"

"Hey! Get lost assholes and stop crowding him. Half of y'all didn't even know he existed until last week. So back off!" I heard someone shout, I could recognize that voice anywhere

I saw MJ push through the crowd with Ned at her side. Everyone started moving further away from me, but definitely not far enough. They were all taking pictures and whispering about me.

"Thanks MJ"

"You're welcome. Now hurry up and get your stuff. We need to clear the hallway and go to class"

"Dude this is crazy! Everyone wants to be your friend. You're all anyone can talk about" Ned said excitedly

Well at least one of us is excited. After I shut my locker and started walking through all the students. I tried to ignore their whispers and yelling as they screamed questions at me. Others wanted my autograph, and some wanted to hook up. Like MJ said, nobody really cared about me until they found out who my father was.

Once I walked in class I took my usual seat next to Ned and ignored everyone's staring.

"Good morning class. Let's continue with our work from last week. Remember to fill out your lab results and turn them in at the end of the class" Mr. Scott announced and the class got to work

"Um....Mr. Stark? Can you come up here please?" He asked and the whole class turned and looked at me, but I walked up ignoring their looks

"I know you had to miss a week, but here is the work that you missed. I would like it finished by the end of the week, as well as the lab. You need to come in after school at sometime and complete it"

"Of course Mr.Scott" Once I got my work I immediately went back to my seat and got started

Meanwhile Ned was asking me question after question about what it was like living with Iron Man.

"No, I have never been inside his suits. Dad would never let me. But I do get to work on them" I explained to him

"You just called Tony Stark dad! That's crazy!" This is probably one of the reasons why I didn't tell Ned. He could be a blabber mouth
