Going to a new school in the middle of the school year is probably not the best thing to do, but your parents couldn't afford the old school you went to.

Today was your first day. The school was only 5 blocks away and you'd have to walk it since your parents wanna save on gas money and bus drives. You didn't mind it, walking around New York was your favorite thing since you got to see the city life. Even though you go back and forth multiple times between your house and school, you still enjoyed the walks in the morning.

Once you got on campus, you were 20 minutes early before classes started. You walked past some students. There were the jocks throwing a football back and forth and the cheerleaders practicing their pyramids on the grass. There also the nerds and geeks, the rebels (who looked like rebels, taking a smoke behind the trash bins), and other people who chose what group to fit in to.

As for you, in your old school, you were smart and popular. Not so much looks, but you tried your best to look good (for yourself obviously). You also had a good amount of friends, but now, you knew no one.

Nerves started to slowly hit you, but someone, who looked like she was the principal, started waving at you. You approached the authority figure saying "Good morning, are you the principal?"

"Why yes, dear. Welcome to Midtown High! Come, I'll show you your schedule and there is someone who has almost the same classes as you, in order, in my office." The principal walked by you, leading you inside the school. She then took a turn into the principal's office.

"Here you go, dear. These are your classes." The principal handed you a piece of paper with your classes for one week. You were gonna repeat the cycle every week apparently.

"And here, is, what we like to call, your shadow." The principal gestures to someone sitting in a chair in the office. You moved your head up from your schedule to see a guy stand up from his seat.

He was a bit taller than you, had dark blonde hair, and brown eyes.

'Holy shit... he's cute.' You thought bringing out a friendly smile.

"Hello, welcome to Midtown. I'm Peter." The so called guy greeted, extending his hand out. You took it without hesitation.

"(Y/n). Nice to meet you." You brought your hand back down to your side still looking at Peter.

'Stop looking!! He'll think you're weird!!'

"Alright, Ms. (l/n). Mr. Parker is going to lead you to your first class, since you two have it together. He will be your guide for today so you can get the hang of our routine." The principal stated with a soft smile. She then eyed Peter.

"I'm sure he won't be of disturbance to you." Peter grinned innocently which made you let out a small giggle.

Then the first bell rang.

"I will see you, Ms. (l/n), around. Mr. Parker, don't get her into any trouble!"

"Will do!!" Peter waved at the principal with a childish grin.

"Trouble?" You retorted as you looked up at him. He looked at you back with a shrug.

"She's just kidding. I don't really get into trouble. Just dozing off in class and forgetting to do homework is the 'trouble' I get in to." Peter joked while walking to a classroom. You assumed it was your first class.

Peter stopped at the door and gestured to it.

"Welcome to English class!! Don't sleep or the teacher is gonna throw a book at you."

You look at Peter with a slightly horrified look. He only laughed letting you walk in first.

"Mr. Parker!! You're late again!" The teacher exclaimed looking up from her desk.

"Sorry, I have a shadow to watch over." Peter pointed at you and you smiled at the teacher and waved.

"That doesn't explain why you're late." The teacher restated crossing her arms. "My dear, there's a seat right over there by the window. Go to the one further away, the one in front is Peter's desk." The teacher told you, pointing to the two empty desks. So they just had an empty desk ready for you?

"Ms. Roger, I'm sorry, but the principal was introducing us and the bell rang in the middle of it so we didn't have time to start walking to class and–" "Enough, Peter." Ms. Roger sighed rubbing the bridge of her nose with her two fingers under her glasses. The class laughed a little.

As you sat in your seat, Peter smiled at you and you giggled. He took the seat in front of you and class began.

From the corner of your eye, you saw another guy who was sitting a couple rows away from you. He definitely was staring at you, but you didn't turn to him to give him the attention he wanted. This isn't your first time this has happened in your life, so you just brushed it off.

"Hey (y/n), do you have a pen?" Peter whispered, turning around in his seat to you. You furrowed your brows at him.

"And I'm the new one." You sarcastically shot back handing him one of the two pens in your pocket. You handed it to Peter and he took it, saluting you with it and mouthing a 'thank you' before turning back around.

Peter Parker... he's something interesting.
