Chapter 12

Wanda's Pov:

It's been two weeks since our first day at Stan Lee High, and they've gone pretty well.

Loki hasn't had any trouble with Zola, that we know of any ways. Me and Pietro have become good friends now with the group. For me especially with Natasha, who I now call Nat.

The only problem is that because of football and cheer we weren't able to get a job after school. I got a night shift at the local grocery store, and Pietro's working at the bar across the street.

It's tough hours, especially for Pietro because he has longer hours and work every night. It's clear he isn't getting enough sleep but he keeps saying he's fine.

I usually rest before school but he still goes running with Steve, Bucky and Sam.

"Wanda?" I'm pulled out of my thoughts and back into reality.

"You okay, you looked kind of spaced out there." Nat says looking at me.

"Sorry what did you say?" I do the awkward smile.

"We have a project and we get to choose our own partners!" She says excitedly.

"That's great!" I smile.

"It's due in three days so maybe we should get together tonight?" She asks and my smile disappears.

"Okay."

"Okay."

I wait for her to suggest we go to her house but she doesn't.

"Could we-" we both say at the same time. We laugh.

"You go." I say.

"I was gonna ask if we could go to your house..."

"Oh, uh, that's what I was gonna ask too," I smile uncomfortably.

"Oh, okay I'll check if that works." She says finally.

The bell than rings and we part ways to our next classes.

When I get to English Pietro and Loki are both already there.

"Uh Pietro?"

"What's up?" He says looking at me and realizing something's not right.

"What happened?" He asks in Russian.

"We have a partner project in English and Nat asked to come to our house," I reply.

"Oh.."

"Uh you guys okay?" Loki asks.

"Yeah we're fine." I say putting on a smile.

"I can understand Russian you know." He says smirking.

"Oh," Pietro says. "So you understood what we said?"

"Yeah, it's fine though I won't ask questions." He replies.

"Wait why do you know Russian?" I ask smiling.

"To annoy Bucky and Natasha." he says smirking.

"Loki." I laugh shaking my head.

"Bucky knows Russian?" Pietro asks.

"Yeah, also by the way I know Serbian too," Loki says grinning.

"Of course you do," I laugh.

"Romanian?" Pietro asks him.

"Not yet I don't," he says with a small smirk. Oh god.

"So what happened then?" Pietro asks.

"I asked her the same thing and she said she'll check if we can." I explain.

"Okay, I'm sorry." He says

"It's okay, it was just a close one," I say.

He nods. "I fell asleep in Science this morning," he says.

"Pietro you've been falling asleep in class a lot lately." I say.

"Yeah and you've looked really tired recently." Loki adds.

Pietro looks at me and smiles. "I'm fine. Clint and Thor seemed worried because it's happened three times this week,"

"Pietro," I sigh. I had a feeling this would happen.

"It's literally Wednesday Pietro." Loki says smiling.

"That's what I mean, three days this week," he smirks.

"Pietro." I roll my eyes with a grin.

"You love me I know," he jokes

"Everyone loves you Pietro," Loki adds.

Just then Phil walks in and says "Pietro can you come with me?"

"Looks like someone caught on to your 'secret' naps," I say as he gets up and walks over to Phil.

Pietro gets into trouble a lot, not as much as Loki, but still a lot. He doesn't really think before acting.

As Pietro gets to the door he turns around and does little guns at us.

We both laugh.
