Ned sprinted through the halls as he made his way to his best friend Peter, who was currently putting his books away from his last period.
"Dude did you hear the news" Ned asked as soon as Peter closed his locker.
Peter looked up at Ned confused "What News"
"There's a new transfer student, and apparently word in the bathroom is that she's beyond super model attractive"
"Really, what's her name" Peter asked only half interested, as him and Ned started making their way to Mr. Harrington's class.
"No idea, but you can at least act a bit more interested; I mean Midtown rarely accepts transfer students"
Peter shrugged as they made their way into the classroom and took their seats.
"I've just had a lot going on you know, after everything that just happened with Homecoming"
Every since homecoming, things are still a bit rocky between him and Mr. Stark, but all in all very much improving in the greater scheme of things especially considering that all the Rogue Avengers got full pardons and have been back in the tower shortly after the whole Germany fight.
Ned's face went into one of realization and decided to change the topic.
"So, when did MJ say she'll be back from Vacation"
Peter, without missing a beat said "Next week, said her parents wanted an extended vacation something about trying to have extra family time and what not. Texted me last night asking to pick up her homework for this week."
Ned wiggles his eyes at Peter "So you two already moved up to texting buddies."
Peter could feel the blush on his face as he let out a small laugh.
"It's not like that Ned"
Peter of course is open to himself about his crush on MJ, but MJ can be quite guarded when it comes to her more sensitive emotions so it's hard for Peter to tell if she likes him back or not. He really doesn't want to ruin their friendship, if he tells her about his crush on her.
The bell then rang, with Mr. Harrington entering the room, causing the room to go silent.
"Alright class, before we begin today's lesson, I want to introduce our new Transfer Student. She comes all the way the from Bridgeport, Connecticut, and I expect you all to make her feel welcomed. Let me introduce Miss. Adriana Soria"
Peter looked up with everyone else to watch the new girl walk into the room, and the moment he laid eyes on her it felt like the whole world had stopped. The rumors that Ned had told him, were true, she was beyond beautiful if not one of the most beautiful girls he had ever laid eyes on.
She had a heart shaped face with a fine bone structure, with loose curly dark hair that went way past her shoulders with matching doe eyes. She wore a black ensemble that included leggings and a leather jacket, which reminded Peter of Natasha's spy outfit.
Adriana smiled as she looked at her fellow classmates.
"It's nice to meet everyone, my name is Adriana, but you may call me Anya."
Peter could hear his heart beat continuously picking up speed, if he didn't know any better, he swore he was going into cardiac arrest.
Suddenly Anya's eye met his, and she gave him a quick wink.
"PETER" Ned shouted.
Ned's shouting took him out of his trance, and immediately he noticed the worried stares his classmates were giving him.
"Wh-" he started to ask before he felt something drip onto his desk.
Peter's eyes widened when he saw a spot of blood on his desk, he automatically put his hand up to his nose and looked at his hand in shock at seeing the blood that is spilling from it.
Mr. Harrington seeing this, immediately sprung into action by grabbing a tissue from his desk and sprinting towards Peter.
"Tilt your head forward Mr. Parker, and pinch your nose with the tissue" Mr. Harrington instructed, before turning to Ned.
"Mr. Leeds please escort Mr. Parker to the nurse's office."
Ned was already up from this seat, helping Peter stand up.
"On it Sir"
Peter groaned as he sat on the chair in the nurses' office, with an ice pack on his nose, with Ned right next to him.
"Dude what happened, did you get hurt doing you know- "Ned whispered
Peter shook his head "No, it was actually pretty quiet the last couple of nights. Only minor stuff that didn't require me to use my hands."
The nurse then came back into the, and gently took the ice pack from Peter and examined his nose again.
"Looks like the bleeding has stopped, do you feel any dizziness or having any difficulty breathing"
"No Nurse Jones, just feel a bit hungry is all"
She gave him a small smile as she handed him a small spray bottle.
"Use this Saline Nasal 2 sprays per nasal as needed, it will help relieve any congestion and dryness"
Peter just nodded as he took the spray bottle from her, as Ned and him started to make their way out of the Nurse's office. Just as the left the bell rang signaling it was time for Lunch.
Peter groaned as he saw students staring at this direction.
"Great, how embarrassing. Just another thing to add Flash's never-ending taunts."
"I mean it's just a nosebleed, I'm sure we've all gotten one from time to time" Ned said shrugging.
Soon the two entered the cafeteria as Peter continued "Unfortunately mine just had to happen in front of the whole class, I'm sure the new girl enjoyed her first showing of Midtown's how can Peter Parker embarrass himself on this day."
Ned put a hand on his friend's shoulder in an attempt to bring some comfort "If it makes you feel any better, my uncle Jim said he would take us to the new Star Wars premiere in his new convertible."
"How on earth can he afford all these cars, isn't this like the 3rd one this year" Peter asked furrowing his brows as he started to fill his tray with food.
Ned just shrugs "He said he got some sort of settlement money, in his own words from a low life son of a bitch who had too much to drink at the wheel."
As the two made their way to their table, a new voice called out their way.
"Hey, you ok. That was a pretty heavy nosebleed you had earlier"
Both Ned and Peter turned around, and immediately their eyes widen with their mouths slightly open to see Anya Soria standing right in front of them with a soft smile on her face.
Again, Peter's heart started to pick up at such a fast pace, but more so now that they were face to face.
"Um, a-re y-ou talking to me" he stutters out.
Peter mentally palmed himself, yeah, he usually acts like a total spaz when in the company of attractive women, but he has never acted this bad before.
Anya just chuckled and said "Well unless you have a twin brother who just had a nose bleed, then yes I am talking to you."
Ned and Peter just turned to each other giving each other an incredulous look, before turning their eyes back on a waiting Anya.
"I-I'm sorry you had to see that"
Anya furrowed her brows together in confusion "Why are you apologizing, not like you can control nosebleeds."
Before Peter could reply, Flash and several of his goonies made their way towards them.
"Hey new girl, what are you doing to talking to Penis Parker. Don't hang out with those losers, hang out with real men like us."
Anya just scoffed and rolled her eyes "How real mature of you, you sound like a 5-year-old with the lame name calling. Then again that would be an insult to children everywhere, cause I met children who can come up with better insults than that."
Everyone's faces immediately turned to one of shock.
Anya went up and patted Flash's' cheek as she gave me a clearly fake smile.
"Let me give you a bit of advice, I don't like bullies who go out of there way to make people feel like shit just because your life outside these 4 walls is garbage. Why don't you spend more time trying to prove to me that you deserved to be the sperm that won out in the end from you father's ball sack."
Everyone's mouth dropped in shock and Flash looked like he was on the verge of tears. Slowly but surely his group walked away.
Anya turned back to the duo
"You two mind if I eat Lunch with you, seems you guys are the only ones with any decency around here."
Peter and Ned were both still stunned, so they just nodded at her.
"I'll be sitting over there" she said pointing to the empty table at the far end, secluded from everyone else.
Ned turned to Peter and said in a shock voice "Man she's a savage."
"Uh-uh" was all Peter could say, his mind still reeling of Anya Sora.
Author's Note
So this is a story I've had in my head for a while, and now I'm finally going to publish it. I haven't read too many fanfictions involving Adriana Soria from the comics, so this will be my twist on it. Also, I know her nickname is spelled Ana, but i felt Anya would be suit her better. This is post homecoming, but everything after is non complaint to canon. Updates will be at least once a month, for the time being. You can also find my work on Archive of our own.
