Disclaimer ~ I do not own the Avengers
Prompt: Driving Lessons
The next time Peter's phone rang in class, he had already given up. Something that amused Ned and MJ to no end. Peter was just going to continue living his life as nothing more than a source of humor for his class because nobody seemed to understand that Peter had school and was therefore unavailable from 8am to 3pm. It wasn't rocket science, as Peter would know, so why didn't anyone else understand that?
Before Mr. Harrington could say anything on the subject, Peter had already gotten his phone out and answered it, putting the cursed object on speaker while his classmates looked on eagerly.
"Hey. You're on speaker," Peter said. He figured it was best to warn whoever was calling in case it was related to the avengers. While he knew nobody would actually try to reveal his alter ego, it was better to be safe.
"Oh. Hello Peter's class! Sorry Peter, I thought it was one of your passing periods," Wanda's voice said happily. Wanda was actually one of his closer friends within the avengers. Sure, he was close with all of them, but Wanda was the youngest before Peter joined so they had something in common. Other than trolling the other members with memes.
"You're about ten minutes early for that," Peter said with a light laugh. Classic Wanda.
"Whoops. Anyway! I was hoping you could help me with something once you got out of school?"
"Sure. I'm not doing anything. What do you need help with?"
"I need to learn how to drive. Clint has been teaching me but farm roads aren't the same as New York traffic."
"Oh no. Suddenly I just remembered I have to go to Ned's house and water his cat," Peter said in the most deadpanned tone he could muster.
"It's true. Sorry Wanda. I booked Peter this morning," Ned chimed in, playing along. He had met Wanda during a sleepover at the tower one weekend. They had gotten along fairly well once Ned stopped fangirling. By the end of the night Peter was concerned Wanda was trying to steal his best friend.
"Gosh darn it. Now who will I find to teach me?" Wanda spoke in an exaggerated old man voice that had several of Peter's classmates laughing. Even Mr. Harrington chuckled.
"Of course I'll help you Wanda. But why me? I literally only got my license last week," Peter said after he regained control of his amusement.
"Mostly because you've lived here your whole life. You'd be the best tour guide."
"Again, why me? Knowing where everything is doesn't exactly help you learn how to drive."
"Oh don't worry! Clint is going to be with us too. He said that if you fail at teaching then he'd take over."
"That is the exact opposite of reassuring. I wouldn't put it past Clint to try and scare us in an attempt to make us wreck."
There was silence for a moment as Wanda processed what Peter said.
"Shit. You're right. He would absolutely do that."
"Yeah. Maybe you should ask someone else to go with us too. Maybe Bruce or Nat?"
"I'll call them as soon as I hang up with you."
"Good. Oh and Wanda?"
"Yes?"
"If we somehow survive, you're making your pirozhki for dinner."
"Deal! I'll meet you in front of your school when it's over."
"Alright. See you then," Peter said. He waited for Wanda's answering goodbye before hanging up. After putting his phone away, Peter allowed his head to hit the desk with a loud thump.
"I'm doomed. If I die, you guys know why," Peter put his arms around his head and groaned.
"I'll start planning your funeral," MJ told him. Peter gave a thumbs up in her direction, not bothering to remove his head from the table.
"Sounds good, MJ. Thanks."
I actually finished this chapter a couple days ago but didn't get it typed up until last night. Whoops. At least it's done.
So yesterday was fun. The boss showed up at work and I ended up sweeping the escape room like six times. It's under construction right now, and they ripped up the carpet a few days ago. He estimates it opening by the end of November/early December. I doubt it. But I am kinda excited to see how it turns out. I've never been in an escape room before. I've played a game which had escape rooms as the main part of the game, but I've never physically been in one.
Enough of that though. I am going to try and type up my next chapter and either get it posted later today or tonight at the latest. Stay tuned for that! I hope everyone enjoyed this chapter! Please Review, Follow, and Favorite!
