"Yeah sure why not… It's not like I have anything better to do, these classes are pretty dull anyway."
"Tony come on, you may be a genius but you've still gotta study? I guarantee it'll be way more fun than that party, pretty please?" The girl winked at him, she had no interest in study either, but it was always a good cover. Pepper rolled her eyes at the blonde caressing an applied physics book, trying too hard to seem seductive. The blonde's cronies all joined in, giggling.
"How they even know what a book is beats me…" Pepper mumbled, agitated. This was a library, honestly. Tony smirked at this
"Uh, mom, I just remembered I have so much catching up to do with astronomy…"
"Anthony Edward Stark, you've been doing astronomy since you were knee high, you can bring Ms Potts along if it kills you so much to be away from her, but it would really mean a lot to your father." His mother never stopped teasing him about her, since he was fifteen. They lived in each-others pockets, tried dating last year but broke it off when she met another guy. They were better as friends, and he preferred it that way.
"Look mom, I doubt dad would notice if I was there or not and whether Pepper even wants to go is another matter entirely…" He broke off when he saw Pepper's desperation to go anywhere so they could avoid the loose gang of bimbo's that followed him all over campus. His mother was silent.
"Fine, we'll be there at nine."
"There's my boy, invite a few more if you wish there is plenty of space."
"Half of New York is coming, where are you gonna put us?"
"Nine Tony, look smart."
"Fine, nine, bye."
"Thank god." Pepper stood up grabbing her satchel and shoving her books in. She made to leave, Tony giving her a puzzled look as she walked out.
"Where are you going it's half three?"
"What do you mean? I have to get ready? Are you not coming? Ugh typical." She lolled her head and waved her hand dismissively.
"I'll pick you up at half eight. Tell the rest."
"Fine."
Tony grinned, walking back to his little gang.
"Tony you're so smart, what does this mean…?" One of the blondes reached her hand up Tony's chest, book in hand. He chuckled at the sudden and forward contact.
"QUIET!" The middle-aged campus librarian, wearing her long plaid brown skirt and frumpy jumper hissed at Tony, pointing her finger to the door. The group giggled, leaving Tony smiling sheepishly up at her.
"Sorry ladies, maybe some other time?"
"Sure thing genius" The alpha bimbo winked, laughing like an idiot as Tony grabbed his belongings and backed away. He winked right back, half grinning, making them laugh hysterically. This made the angry librarian chase after him until he was outside in the sun. "OUT!" Tony threw his hands up defensively, grinning all the same. He wasn't looking forward to tonight.
