Wrong Number

I walk into the office, steve behind me. When the receptionist sees Steve, she almost falls out of her swivel chair. "Mr. Rodgers! W-What brings you here?"

"I brought Harper to school, since she was running a bit late and missed the bus. Sorry for any inconvenience, ma'am." he says

I fight the urge to laugh at his 1900's gentleman manner. 

"No, no,, its quite alright" she stands, smiling "harper is late quite open, its no surprise."

Steve raises his eyebrows at me. I grit my teeth, looking away. I didn't need Mr. America's judgement. "well, I'm sure she'll work on it" He turns back to the woman.

She nods politely and hands me a late pass. "Thanks," I mutter. I look up at Steve "Thanks for your help. Tell Ms. Romanoff I said thanks for the ride"

He nods, "Bye, kid. Have a good day"

I nod in acknowledgement and walk out.

I go to first period, which is already halfway over. I walk into Physics and hand my teacher the pass. He takes it without a word and gestures for me to go take a seat. He goes back to doing notes as I go and sit next to MJ. She looks at me and leans toward me, "I'm going to be honest, you should really invest in a alarm clock."

I laugh quietly but don't answer, taking out my notebook.

-Later-

me: Guess what

Mr. Sass: You're kidding

Old Man: Nat and I gave a kid a ride to school because she missed the bus. She had small crescent shaped bruises on her jaw but wouldn't tell us what happened. She got nervous when we asked her if everything was ok at home or if people were bothering her.

Speedster: Or abused?

Harper POV:

I leave school, looking around for Peter outside. He had disappeared during the last two periods, and I knew May hadn't picked him up. I bounce on my heels, wondering where he could've gone. Soon enough, he jogs up to me, backpack on one shoulder, a earbud in one ear, "Hey," he greeted, slightly out of breath.

"Hey, you ok?" I furrow my eyebrows

"What, yeah, I'm fine," he says.

I nod, "Come on, before we miss the bus," I say.

Peter and I get on the bus and find a seat together. "So, why were you late?" He starts a conversation.

"I slept in," I shrug

"That's, like, two times this week," he comments

"I don't know, homework has been alot." I admit

"You can text me," He says, "I'll help you"

"Yeah but you rarely answer." I point out

He shuts up at that
