Hey! Yay slightly longer chapter! :D

I love reading all your reviews! Please keep leaving them! It helps me continue and give you daily updates ;)

Pepper scrambled her way through the crowds and finally found the exit. Her hands shook as she took out her keys to the car. She sat in the front seat and closed the door quickly. Instead of putting the keys in the ignition, Pepper just sat there.

Her mind raced as she went through the events that just played out. It was dark in the car so Pepper couldn't see, but she could feel the tears slowly running down her face. When she was pinned up against the wall, she had never felt more vulnerable and terrified in her life.

She quickly fumbled for the keys and thought of how Tony Stark had came and 'rescued' her. She couldn't believe it. He had to be drunk, that was the only plausible explanation that she could come up with. She sighed as the gentle hum of the engine awoke her from her thoughts and drove away. She needed to leave, whatever Tony had done; she didn't want to see him again.

"Honey? Is that you?" Pepper grimaced as she heard the chime of her mother's voice.

"Yep, Hi Mum." She dropped her car keys into the bowl and headed for the stairs.

"Hold up Missy, why are you home so early?" Pepper turned to face her frowning mother. She resembled Pepper with the same cheekbones, strawberry blonde hair and a gentle face.

"No reason." Pepper shrugged and turned her back to her confused mother.

"Virginia? What's happened?"

Pepper groaned, "The party just got boring okay? Just leave me alone." On that note, Pepper trudged up the stairs.

Arriving at her bedroom, Pepper pushed her door open to find an unwelcome intruder.

"TILLY! GET OUT!"

The 13 year old turned around, a grin no longer plastered along her face, putting the book in her hands behind her back.

"Is that… my diary?" Pepper slowly walked to her sister, who was backing away.

"Whatcha gonna do Pep?" She teased.

Desperate, Pepper lunged for her sister, but Matilda smirked and swerved to the side.

"Y'know? I thought this would actually have some dirt in it, but you're just as boring as I thought." Matilda threw the book into Pepper's chest and made her way out of her sister's room.

"Bitch!" Pepper yelled.

Matilda turned and blew a kiss. She grinned, "How was the party? It was Tony Stark's right?"

Pepper scowled at her sister, "I thought I was boring?"

"Well you did mention something about Tony in your diary…"

"TILLY SHUT UP."

"Did you talk to him? Did you hook up with anyone?" Matilda leered.

Pepper's lip suddenly quivered at her second question.

Matilda grew a devious smile, "So you hooked up with someone? OOoooo!"

"Just leave." Pepper turned her back to Tilly, hiding the tears dwelling in her eyes.

"Fine! But I'll find out what you did Pep!" Matilda sang as she left the room. Pepper heard the door shut and fell back onto her bed.

She mentally cursed herself for leaving her room wide-open and showing weakness in front of her evil sister.

Pepper still couldn't get her mind over the whole party. What had happened to Olivia? She probably got a lift home with someone, and Pepper decided that she wouldn't bother texting her.

But Pepper was more concerned over the whole Tony situation. He had a reputation for getting with every girl he set his sights on, and her whole scenario screamed damsel in distress. Pepper didn't want to be one of those girls.

She snuggled herself inside her duvet and decided she would have to ignore Tony Stark if she ever wanted to continue with her normal life.

"Good Morning Sir, it is currently 9am and the weather in Malibu is partly cloudy with a chance of showers."

Tony groaned. What had happened last night?

He looked around to see his bedroom was spotless; the cleaners must have come and gone. Slowly, Tony tried to recollect the events of the previous night.

Girls.

Booze.

Girls.

He rubbed his head and remembered the fight.

Pepper.

He quickly hopped out of bed and rinsed himself in the shower before heading downstairs. Tony found his mother Maria to be reading the newspaper while sipping a mug of coffee.

She looked up and smiled, "Have fun last night Hun?"

"Yeah." Tony wandered to the kitchen and opened the fridge, pouring himself a glass of juice.

"What are you up to today?" She mused, her eyes now on her paper.

"Nothing much, might visit some friends." He went over to kiss her on the cheek, "What about you mum?"

"Well I'm going to relax as my schedule is pretty much clear today."

"Well, have fun." Tony smiled as he headed back upstairs to his room. He sat at his desk, wondering what to do.

"Jarvis?"

"Yes sir?"

"Bring up any records of a Virginia at school."

Holograms surrounded him, some of yearbooks from the 80s, others of teachers and various women that shared the name of this mystery girl. He finally spied something that looked vaguely familiar to Pepper.

"What's that one say?"

"Virginia Potts, class of 2010."

"Hmmmm. Anything else?"

Various other documents with the same name popped up, this included: more class photos, awards and other miscellaneous things. The one thing that Tony could draw from this evidence was that Pepper Potts was someone who wasn't in the spotlight, and the mystery excited him.

He sat back and put his hands behind his head, "I'm going to find you Miss Potts."

Hey! Can I have a lift this morning?

-Liv

Pepper dreaded this moment, the weekend had gone by so quickly and going back to school was not desired.

While brushing her teeth, Pepper replied:

Sure, be ready in 20.

Sighing, she placed her phone in her jeans pocket and headed downstairs.

"Morning." Her father smiled from behind a newspaper.

"Morning Dad." Pepper kissed her father on the cheek while grabbing an apple. Taking a big bite, she sat down at the table next to Matilda, who was reading the back of the cereal box.

"Morning." She nudged her sister, but Matilda remained concentrated on the cardboard maze.

"What have you got today?" Her father asked as he lowered his paper.

"Nothing much."

He nodded and returned to his paper, only to be interrupted by Pepper's mother, "Martin, you better hurry, you'll be late!"

"Okay Carol." He set down his paper and kissed his two daughters before kissing his wife and leaving the three women in the kitchen.

"Well I better be going." Pepper sighed as she stood up.

"Okay hun, see you this afternoon, have a good day!"

Pepper drove off in her car, and in a split second decision, passed Olivia's house.

Bitch can find her own way to school.

Walking into school, Pepper kept her head low just like she did at the party; not wanting to be recognised. She hurriedly headed to homeroom, and sat at the back of the classroom, instantly regretting not picking up Olivia.

She sighed and brought out her phone.

14 New Messages.

Pepper bit her lip and instantly knew who they were from. Right on cue, Olivia arrived and charged towards Pepper, slamming her books on a desk beside her.

"What the hell? You forgot me! I had to freaking walk!"

"I'm sorry, I-I forgot." Pepper stammered as she quickly came up with an excuse.

"Forgot?!"

"Uh, I had a lot on my mind."

Olivia's face instantly softened, "I meant to text you after the party. I'm sorry about Jason…" She muttered.

"It's fine."

Olivia took a seat as the teacher walked in and started taking attendance.

"Do you want to talk about it?" Olivia whispered.

Pepper shook her head.

The girls remained quiet for the remainder of the class and both headed for English.

"You know everyone's talking about how Tony's got a thing for you." Olivia broke the silence, a hint of coldness in her voice.

"Well…" Pepper stopped there, not really knowing what to say.

She was interrupted by a hand clasping onto her shoulder, "Hey…"

Who is it? (hint: PEPPERONY MOMENTS COMING SOON)

What did you guys think of Tilly? Oh and what did you think of Pepper's little revenge to Liv?
