The Eventful Field trip To Stark Industries [And Other Amusing Stories]

Peter Parker.
That's his name, Peter Parker, the name of the boy who lives three lives; a nerdy highschooler trying to make a life for himself, the famous web slinging vigilante Spider-man, and an "intern" for the famous Tony stark.

Peter stood in silent mortification as two of his three lives had collided and he was panicking.

Let's start from the beginning,

You see, earlier that month, during Science, Peter's last class, Mr. Harrington made an announcement.

"Students of the decathlon team, if you would please settle down for a short amount of time, I have big news for you," he said, an excited and proud smirk had reached his lips as he unzipped his bag and pulled out some seemingly important papers.

The class murmured, wondering what Mr. Harrington was going to announce.

"So, we, as a team, have done extremely well with the decathlon competitions, haven't we?" He said, then continued, "as a reward for our hardwork, we have been given a once in a lifetime chance, a fieldtrip! To the one and only Stark Industries!"

You could hear those who weren't part of the team groan as they looked downward in disappointment and sadness, some congratulating their decathlete classmates for their hardwork while they erupted in squeals of joy and disbelieving laughs as they began to process what their teacher just announced.

"Wait.. really?"

"HOW'D THEY GET US A FIELDTRIP TO STARK INDUSTRIES?!?"

"Dear Lord I'm about to throw up.."

However, Peter mimicked none of their reactions, as soon as he heard his teacher say "Fieldtrip to Stark Industries" he slammed his head against his desk.

He knew that if he were to go on a fieldtrip to Stark Industries, the universe would definitely make sure that Mr. Stark would run into him, and he knew that when that happened, he would be totally exposed.

Soft, panicked breaths could be heard coming from Peter, along with the frantic up and down movements of his back which gave away his panic. Peter thought he should have seen this coming, taking into consideration his "Parker Luck."

"Now now," Mr. Harrington began, with a slight chuckle brought from watching his students cheer, "we wouldn't be able to go if you didn't collect your permission slips, would we?" He joked with a smirk on his face. "Come quickly now, and don't forget to inform the rest of the decathlon team who aren't here! Tell 'em to come to the staff room for the slips," He requested, a soft yet proud smile on his face.

Everyone knew that Stark Industries was an important place, they hardly ever had schools enjoy tours and fieldtrips there, so Midtown high's decathlon team being able to get a fieldtrip was an achievement indeed.

Every one of the decathletes scurried frantically to obtain a slip.

While the students repeated the action of grabbing a slip and running out the door to make way to home, Peter heard his name being called.

"Peter, would you stay behind please? I need to speak to you." Mr. Harrington said, his sunny smile transforming into a slightly sombre one.

Peter nodded while slightly lifting his head to make eye contact with his teacher.

"Hey, dude, this is gonna be weird for you isn't it..?" Ned said, placing his hand on Peter's shoulder, in an attempt to comfort him

Hearing Ned's familiar voice put Peter at ease.

Ned was Peter's best friend, his bro, his pea in a pod, his guy in the chair. Peter trusted him with his secrets, like his..triple life..? I guess you could call it that. Ned knew about Peter's web shooting alter ego, and his work as an Intern for Tony Stark.

"Yeah...it's gonna be so awkward...it's gonna be awful.." Peter replied, hands covering his face as he struggled to see the silver lining in his situation.

"We'll meet outside 'k? I'm sure Mj and I could cheer you up!" Ned said, smiling.

"Alright, see ya' Ned" Peter's voice cracked in embarrassment, oh, you could practically see the figure of an impending sense of doom hovering over him with a wicked smile. Not to mention, being told to stay behind by Mr. Harrington didn't help.

It barely took a few seconds, his classmates had all left the classroom and he was moved to be seated in a chair directly infront of Mr. Harrington's desk.

"..hey...Mr. Harrington..?" Parker said, an awkward smile plastered to his face.

"Hello, Mr. Parker, I..don't really..know how to break this saddening news to you, you're one of my brightest students and for you to miss an opportunity like this is just-" Mr. Harrington sighed and took a deep breath, not letting himself complete his sentence.

"What's wrong Mr. Harrington?" Peter asked, now getting slightly concerned, "is it really that bad?! What opportunity am I missing?!" Peter thought, his face slightly paling at the thought of getting in trouble.

"Mr. Parker, you see, you have accumulated too many absences, and so, I cannot allow you to join the rest of the decathlon team on the fieldtrip," Mr. Harrington stated, a sad look on his face as the words left his mouth.

Peter moved his face upward, directly looking at Mr. Harrington with sparkly eyes, a relieved smile on his face. "Really?!"

"..."

"I-I mean..uh..That's too bad Mr. Harrington, I really wanted to go, but I understand!" Peter exclaimed, straightening himself after his slip-up.

Peter had never told anyone other than his friends Ned and Mj about his Stark Internship, he knew nobody would believe him even if he did, it sounds unbelievable even to him! And he's the one with the internship.

Peter wanted the internship to remain a secret, he didn't want anybody besides the people closest to him to know. So obviously Mr. Harrington had no idea either, which is why, he sputtered in shock seeing Peter's subtle reaction of joy after being told he couldn't join everyone on the fieldtrip.

"If that's all, I'll be going now, Bye Mr. Harrington!" Peter yelled as he grabbed his bags, he waved before he left the room in a hurry.

Mr. Harrington was left sitting at his desk, staring in shock at the now empty chair that was holding up Peter until a few seconds ago.
