"Crazy like calling Captain America, uncle Steve or Black Widow, Auntie Nat?" I joked and he looked like he just won the lottery

"Switch lives with me" He asked, but before I could respond, someone passed me a paper

I opened up the paper and it was a note from Emma. She was a girl in my class and she apparently wanted to know if I would go out with her. Sorry Emma but I'm already taken. I looked up and made eye contact with her as she flipped her hair and started waving, but I just shook my head and crumpled up the piece of paper.

"Dude did you just reject Emma Johnson? She is one of the most popular girls in school"

"Yeah I did. Ned they only want to date me cause I'm a Stark. So I'm not interested" I told him

I knew she was probably irritated, but I honestly didn't care. Once class ended I walked to the front of the class and turned in a couple of worksheets that I was able to finish.

"Thank you Mr. Park....I mean Mr. Stark. I'm sorry, it might take me sometime to get used to it" Mr. Scott apologized grabbing the paper from my hands

"No worries"

I walked out of class and headed straight for history, the most boring class ever. As I was walking, a few more people asked me out or started to act like they knew me. This was going to get old fast, and luckily I found a way to distract myself. Texting Wanda always made me feel better.

P: Heyy pretty girl

W: Heyy baby, how's your first day going?

P: Not bad. People suck but I didn't expect anything else. I'm on my way to history, so that should be exciting. How's your day going?

W: Boring. I want you here. Everyone is acting like old people and complaining about political stuff. I miss you 😘

P: I miss you 2. Would ditch if I could. But we can hang out when I get home

W: I look forward to that. Now get off your phone and pay attention in class. It will be over before you know it. <3

P: Alright. Bye <3

I quickly put my phone away and sat down in my seat. Like my first class, people stared at me, and others asked me questions. Hopefully soon, people will get over the whole Peter Stark thing. I was already annoyed.

Later....

Finally I had some freedom. It was finally lunchtime, which was the best part of the day in my opinion. I walked into the cafeteria and sat down at my usual table with Ned and MJ.

"Dude I heard you rejected like 4 girls today. That's pretty awesome" MJ said smiling before starting to write in her sketch book

"Thanks? But yeah....I'm not interested in anyone here. They just want to date me because of my last name"

"Yeah. But dude you are the most popular guy in school. That makes us popular" Ned seemed to care about popularity much more than I did

I just laughed and started to eat my lunch. Mom made my lunch today, which was awesome because she knew about my enhanced metabolism, so she always gave me extra food. She was seriously the best. Meanwhile Ned was asking me more questions about the avengers, but I wasn't really in the mood to answer them.

"You have incoming" I heard Ned whisper, and I looked up to see Flash walking towards me

Just what I needed.

"So Parker....I just wanted to say a few things. Sorry I bullied you all those years. I hope we can be cool now. Truce?" He said reaching his hand out

"We're definitely cool now. I will just completely ignore all the years of beatings and insults I took from you and your friends. I totally forgive you" I just rolled my eyes and continued to eat me lunch

"Awesome! So I've been thinking your house is a great place to have a party?" He asked clearly not understanding that I was being sarcastic

I looked up at him because he was actually being stupid. He didn't actually think I was serious?

"And this is why you're an alternate on the decathlon team. You obviously have no idea what sarcasm is. You actually think Peter will just forgive you like that?" MJ asked him

"I wasn't talking to you loner girl. Come on now Parker. We could just hang out after school and maybe talk about getting me an internship"

"Flash we're not friends and we will probably never be friends. Also my last name is Stark! So just leave me and my friends alone" I told him and he stomped off angrily and started mumbling about how he'll eventually convince me

Only a few more classes to go. Once I was finished with lunch, the day was already passing and school was over. I walked to my locker and put my books away, but of course people didn't leave me alone.

"So Peter Stark?"

"What's your room like?"

"Do you ever train with the avengers?"

I turned around to see people starting to crowd me again. I tried to walk through them but I felt someone starting to tug on my backpack. They kept shouting and yelling. I immediately ran out of the crowd and outside of the school. Thank god Happy was already here.

I ran to his car and jumped in. I closed my eyes and plugged my ears. My senses were going crazy and I could hear my heart beating faster. So I quietly did my breathing exercises hoping to calm myself down.

"Are you alright?" Wanda asked me and nearly jumped out of my skin

"What are you doing here?" I asked her and she started moving her glowing hand to my head

Almost instantly, my senses started to calm down. I felt a soft sensation in my head and I felt much better.

"I had a feeling this would happen, so I asked to come pick you up. I hope you don't mind? I want to hear about your first day and I missed you" I looked over at Happy, who was already rolling up the divider between us

"It was long, but everyone will get over it eventually. Thanks for being here" I opened my arms and she moved in them

This fame thing will take time to get used to, but I could handle it.
