Next Monday arrived upsettingly quickly as I hit my alarm clock on my phone, it was 03:30, I had 3 hours until Peter was awake. More likely until his alarm clock rang, he wouldn't be up until 07:15, a short 15 minutes before Stark or Happy Hogan would drive him.

I got dressed in my usual training fit and trained until 05:30 with Nat, Sam, and Rhodey. We did basic weight lifting this morning.

I grabbed my stuff to leave the gym when Sam called out teasingly, "Have a good day at school honey!" I lovingly flipped him off and headed toward the elevator with Nat and Rhodes laughing behind me.

I showered and got dressed in a pair of Wanda's ripped light washed denim jeans, they were mom jeans, cut right above my ankles. I paired them with a lightweight black blouse with roses embroidered on the sleeves. I threw on a pair of Air Force Ones, a popular shoe according to Peter. Stark had pitched in and bought me several expensive clothing items in an attempt to fit in at the top tier select school. I put in two pairs of earrings, small black diamonds, in each of my two piercings. I clipped a small gold bar necklace around my neck and finished my look by styling my blow dried hair into a half up half down style which fit well with my naturally wavy blonde hair. By then it was 06:15am so I grabbed my black Vera Bradley backpack and headed upstairs for breakfast.

My backpack held basic school necessities like pens, notebooks, and binders. I would get my textbooks later at the school building. I arrived upstairs to see Steve and Wanda busy making pancakes. Music played over the loudspeakers, it was a song by lovelytheband. I dropped my backpack onto the floor and the metal water bottle hit the floor with a loud, Ding! All three of us winched at the noise.

"That hurt my ears," Wanda laughed.

"Me too, sorry about that," I apologised.

"Are you ready for your first day of school?" Steve asked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

"If one more person mocks me for going to school, there's going to be a few less teeth in the tower,"

"Was that a threat?" Wanda laughed.

"Sure was,"

The elevator chimed and Tony and Peter walked out, all three of us were shocked at the younger being up so early.

"Well don't hold your mouths open, I got the kid up early this morning for Rylee," Tony remarked.

Peter looked exhausted from being out late, his graphic t-shirt looked wrinkled and his backpack was poorly packed. He walked over to our stack of pancakes silently and started eating. The dark circles under his eyes seemed to sink into his face, the poor kid looked in need of several days of sleep.

"Are you good Peter?" Steve asked.

"Hm? Yeah, I'm great, just a late night," he perked up, I could tell he was putting on a fake face, I had done so several times. I figured I'd let it slide, he was up later than I was anyways.

Tony walked up to me and handed me two folders and car keys attached to a navy blue lanyard. I flipped the keys over to reveal a Ford logo.

"It's a brand new Shelby GT350R Mustang in Kona Blue," Tony said cheerfully.

"You got me a brand new car? I thought I was supposed to fit in, not stand out with a blue sports car,"

"It's a dark blue,"

I sighed, it would suffice, "Thank you Tony,"

"No problem, in one of the folders is your cover story and other info about yourself, it's obviously falsified but it'll do, the other folder is info you'll need to get your schedule and your school ID. There's also a map of the school and it's levels."
