Chapter Text
“Mr. Parker. Today is the last day to turn in your permission slip for the upcoming surprise field trip. Do you have your paper or have you lost your backpack again?”
Peter ruffles through his backpack and pulls out a crumpled but signed piece of paper.
“No, no, sorry Mr Harrington, I have it right in my bag, here it is.”
The bell rings as Peter rushes back to his seat, but not before almost tripping over Flash’s conveniently stuck out foot.
“Alright class, since everyone has turned your permission slips in, I guess there’s no time like the present to tell you where we are going. Can I get a drum roll please?”
For being juniors in high school, Peter’s class is buzzing with excitement at getting away from school for even just half a day.
“Well, from our excellence in the decathlon earlier in the year we were placed in a drawing with a couple other distinguished schools in the area, and we were chosen to visit the new and improved Stark Tower!”
The entire class gasps but for Peter, he immediately puts his head down.
“What’s wrong Parker? Worried you'll finally show everyone that you don't have that fancy internship after all?”
“Peter’s internship is very real, thank you very much. He’ll prove it to you on Thursday, just you see Flash”
Ned’s confidence in Peter was greatly appreciated but did nothing for the redness that was growing on his face at the embarrassment that will occur on Thursday. He’s just hoping that this is Mr. Stark’s week to be at the compound but with Peter’s luck that’ll never be the case. Maybe he’ll be sick on Thursday, or even better- get hit by a bus.
