Hey lovely people! (I swear I'm not trying to sound like Gennaro) Sorry for the delay in the update, things been pretty rough lately, both university along others, and my laptop decided to give up suddenly, so, been a tough week for me. But finally I was able to finish this one.

Base on the lack of review, I guess you guys didn't like the last one as much, :( for that i have to apologize for not doing a good job on the last one. I have to admit that I had a hard time writing that one even tho I enjoy writing it.

This one was from myself, I always thought highschool avengers would be fun to write about and after reading so many great ones I decided to give it a shot.

And also, here is a challenge for you guys. If anyone is able to guess what song caught Steve off guard before he ran out with Nat, there will be a special price for whoever get it right FIRST, leave the name of the song in the review!

Dont forget to review, follow and fav, I smile like an idiot whenever I read your reviews :3

Disclaimer: I own nothing other than my writing that is not betaed.


Surprised

Natasha pushed through the familiar double doors, she can hear people chattering, foot step tapping against the wooden floor, and loud music penetrating everyone's heart and ear drums.

She didn't know why she decided to come to the prom which she had been ditching since her first year of highschool. But since her best friend Pepper said she should at least come to the last prom, and She never was able to reject Pepper's request anyways, because she always sounds right. Natasha pushed her glasses up her nose bridge, hands flatten out the small wrinkles on her plain black dress. Natasha thought it was a great idea that she wore black from head to toe, because she would just blend in without anyone noticing.

And she especially wouldn't want the King to notice her and tease her tonight.

And there he is.

Natasha quickly turned into one of the change room once she caught a glimpse that, Tony Stark, the King, is approaching towards her. She let out a deep breathe, thinking she should be safe for a bit in this pitch dark change room until a voice popped up.

"Did you not see the do not enter sign on the door?"

Natasha was frighten and she was about to scream, but the person in the dark was faster and muffled her mouth right before she could make a sound. Natasha elbowed backwards, targeting her assailant's chest, thinking the blow should cause whoever muffling her to let go. And it did worked.

"Ugh! So who are you then? Is your name no one so you are the only one who is allowed to be in here?" Natasha stumbled for the side wall, trying to find the light switch but she failed.

"I, by all means didn't wanted to offend you, ma'am." The bright light hit Natasha's eyes in a sudden, she drew her hands over her eyes to protect them from the blinding white lights, "I just didn't wanted to be found be anyone in the party, and your scream could've brought tons of people our way and my hiding spot would be spoiled."

Finally her eyes had adjusted to the white fluorescent light and the guy stood in front of her looked genuinely sorry for what he did. "Sorry, are you even from our school?" Natasha squinted, surprised by those baby blue eyes and his height, she has to raise her head quite a bit to look him in the eyes, and realized that she never seen him around school before.

"No. I was invited to the party by Stark. Steve Rogers, from Civil High, just down the block." He held out his large hand, offering Natasha a handshake. And she shook it, for his courtesy.

"Natasha Romanoff. Um...If you don't want to stay, I can show you a way out without getting seen by Tony." Natasha offered, while refocusing her eyes onto the floor, she also awkwardly took step back away from this Steve Rogers. After all, he is a stranger. Since he didn't answer, Natasha looked up and saw Steve was staring at her and was about to say something, but he paused when the music had switched.

"Is something wrong?" Natasha hid her hands behind her, fingers tapping on the wall, along with the new song that is played, she looked at him doubtfully, one of her brow arched.

"Nothing." He replied with a smirk, then his rough, enormous, warm hand took her smooth, small, pale one, and dragged her out of the change room.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! LET GO OF ME!" Natasha panicked when she found out that she couldn't pull her hand out from his, and from the direction he headed to, she will crash into the person that she least wanted to encounter tonight.

"Shhhhh!" Steve's index finger laid on Natasha's lips, "if you stay quiet, no one will notice you. Not even Tony Stark, see it yourself."

His head nudged to a certain direction, Natasha couldn't be more shock, seeing Pepper in the arms of Tony Stark. Natasha could clearly see Pepper's fingers softly locked around Tony's neck, their foreheads touched while Tony whispered something, making Pepper smiled.

Natasha frowned at the scene.

"I know what you are thinking." His hand held out a cup of punch for her. She took it and began to sip it, trying to refrain herself from running out and punch that jerk in the face.

"I don't think you know anything about Tony Stark." Natasha set the empty cup on the table, crossed her arms over her chest, kept her vigilant eyes onto the dancing couple.

"Ha, just wait for it."

Steve Rogers' breathy laugh caused Natasha to twist her head, confused by what he meant. But as the Grammy awarded song slowly diminished into the air, and Bruno Mars's voice filled the entire gym, she couldn't believe what was happeningoing in front of her...

Steve Rogers that was just by her side, dashed out to join James Rhodey, Vision Smith, the Odins Brothers, and even her adopted brother, Clint Barton, and they started dancing. The one and only King is currently holding a microphone, singing to her best friend who is in awe and covering her mouth with both of her hands to fight back a scream. Well, Natasha would never though that Tony Stark would be singing "Girl you are amazing, just the way you are." Not to mention having the entire football team dancing with him.

Then the music stopped. Natasha heard Tony's voice saying, "Miss Virginia Potts, I really like you, will you go out with me next Saturday night, please?"

Natasha never have thought that the biggest Playboy in the Marvel High history would ask her best friend out, and made a such big deal about it. Oh my. Natasha palm faced herself. She already knew Pepper's answer...There was no way Pepper would say no to her 4-years-crush...Natasha let out a deeper groan when all the dancers have each pulled out a red rose from their back pockets, all kneeled down to the floor, saying:

"PEPPER PLEASE GO OUT WITH HIM!"

Natasha buried her face in both palms. Alright, she should start to prepare herself for the late night calls when her best girlfriend get dumped by the playboy, also she should go to the gym more to freshen up the kickboxing. With her head shaking, she stepped out to prevent herself from bolting out to the floor and grabbing Pepper to leave the prom.

She expected no one would notice her after the big stunt that Tony has pulled, but apparently she underestimated someone.

"Hey, what's wrong?" This Steve Rogers is really getting to her nerve, and Natasha could not hold back anymore.

"NOTHING!" Natasha huffed, "why did you followed me out here? Aren't you suppose to help Stark?"

"Well, yeah..." Steve scratched the back of his neck. Natasha couldn't see clear, the dim amber light from the street lamps is not helping with her poor eye sight but it seemed like his cheek were red, "Um...Um..."

"Well, yeah...Steve Rogers from Civil High, if you have nothing to say, will you excuse me, I'm gonna go home now." Natasha did a sharp turn away, about to run to her car, then she heard a voice said:

"Can I take you out, on a date?"

Natasha froze.

The next second, that gorgeous face of Steve Rogers appeared at a closer proximity. This time, the redness was obvious, on his cheek and around his neck. Natasha let out a nervous smile, buying time for her to regain her composure. Then she realized...

She actually know who he is.

Number 74. Quarterback and Captain of Civil High. Rogers.

Ah. The Steve Rogers.

Natasha narrowed her eyes, lips tighten, hands on her hips, silently demanding a reason from him to ask her out.

"Okay. I just couldn't get you out of my head when I got to see you at all the football games." He started to explain.

She felt his body heat transferred to her as he grabbed her by her exposed shoulder from her sleeveless dress, oddly, she felt her entire body warmed up, her stomach summersaulted, tumbled and the firm yet gentle grasp from those strong hands was the only support that is preventing her from falling to the gravel.

"Sigh...Perhaps you never even notice me...but you passed by me every time you finished handing out towels and water to the Marvel's players. I swear, the smile on your face lighted up the whole field, I could hear every cheer that you screamed, count all the hugs you gave to the players, and remember how you helped the injured players...Then at yesterday's playoff game, my best friend James caught me staring at you during the game so he asked Tony to invite me to come to Marvel's Prom, under the condition to help Tony get his girl."

He looked so genuine, didn't sound like he made up any of it.

Natasha is wordless. She needed a moment to process this...

"Please? Give me a chance?"


Hehehe, cliffhanger intended here. I'm so wicked and mean ;)

For the challenge, there is a hint for you: the song is from this year's Grammy :) Happy guessing :D
