Chapter 14
Then that's when I snapped back into what had happened with Peter and Stark on the phone. As I sat on the couch, I got lost in my thoughts again... thinking of how things might turn out.

School the Very Next Day
Y/n's POV
I was at my locker, thinking still but placing my books that I didn't need for morning classes away. I was quite the whole time before Michelle popped up next to me.
"Hey Doe." She said and I looked at her with a confused look
"Doe?"
"Yeah, because you're Shadow?" She whispered the last part
"Yeah okay but you make me sound like if I'm pizza dough."
"You're probably just saying that because you're hungry." She mentioned
"Well maybe. I didn't eat breakfast this morning because I was going to be late."
"Well here." She told me then pulled out a granola bar and a banana. "Which one"
"I think I'll just take the granola. It doesn't involve me getting up in class just to throw out a banana peel."
"Well yeah but that's exercise."
"We have gym for that and besides.. I can just stick the wrapper of the granola bar in my bag then throw it out later. No biggie."
"Mmmhm." She just said and gently shoved me before leaving to class with a smile.
I took the granola bar that she had offered me and tucked it away in my pocket for later. Closing my locker, I glanced over my shoulder to see Peter and Ned looking at me. All I did was gave them a small smile and went to first period.

10 minutes before Lunch
Algebra
Peter's POV
There's about 10 minutes or less of class and still no word from Y/n. She was quiet all day, like if there was a tape placed over her mouth and she couldn't talk. She was sitting on the seat to my left and I can see that she was writing on some sort of journal. It looked like a lot based on what I could see from my seat.
She was still writing when the teacher called on her. "Y/n, can you tell me what the square root of Pi is?"
That's when Y/n looked up and quickly answered "The square root of Pi is Approximately 1.77245."
"That is correct. Thank you Y/n." The teacher spoke then went back to writing on the board.
Right when I was going to ask Y/n something, the bell rang. She quickly closed her journal, grabbed her bag and dashed for the door. I did the same and wasn't so far behind.

Y/n's POV
I bolted out of the classroom wanting the day just to be over, but doesn't everyone feel like that from time to time. There doesn't exactly need to be a reason for it just the need or wanting to go home so people won't need to see each other's faces. Right now I was trying to avoid a certain situation that was sooner than later bite me right in the ass. I wasn't wrong because right when I was a few steps from the cafeteria, I heard my name. It sounded like Peter but I just turned back and hurried into the Lunchroom.
I sat right in front of Michelle with my lunch who had happened to make it there before me at the far end of the table.
"Hey Y/n/n." She said to me when I sat. (Y/n/n meaning your nickname)
"Hey Bookworm. Here's the last book of Harry Potter but you owe me big time." I told her as I slid the book to her after taking it out of my bag.
"What do you mean?" She asked as she grabbed the book
"You know exactly what I mean. I told you my biggest secret and you just happened to let Peter and Ned find out." I said to her in a low voice yet a bit angry but not so much. "Michelle, it's dangerous and that's why I didn't what anyone to know. Now I'm at a bigger risk."
"Well I'm sorry but I just wanted to help you since you said that you needed help. Besides, they wanted to know where you were because they got worried, but what do you mean by bigger risk?" She asked me and before I could tell her anything, I just gave her a small smile.
Peter had entered not so long after my discussion with Michelle and that's when I looked at her saying "I'll talk to you later. Don't worry."
I got up and went over to where Peter sat. I wore this worried like expression on my face and I could tell that when he looked up at me that he had a similar look but mixed with concern.
"Hey can we talk?" I said
"Yeah sure."
"Privately." I replied to him and he looked at Ned before nodding his head and getting up.
We walked out of the cafeteria and into the hallway where it was secluded. No one was there because everyone were either in class still or at lunch eating.
"What's up? You haven't spoke to me all day."
"I know." I said turning around to face him. I went quiet for a few seconds and Peter looked like as if he could tell something is wrong.
"Is there something wrong? You don't have to go through any of what I mentioned before if you don't want to." He said and I looked into his brown eyes filled with concerned.
"I know. All I will say is that there is a reason of why I do what I do. There is a reason why I don't want anyone to know who I really am. My parents are dead but it wasn't an accident. I know what happened and I can't tell you that. Just know that if you do end up finding anything... my uncle is a very very bad man and I don't want the Avengers to go after him."
"Why not? If you say that he's a very bad man then they can help you."
"Peter just promise me." I said with a worried tone. "Just tell them to stand down. It'll only make things worse." I then have him a piece of paper of my whole name and walked out of the hallway back to the cafeteria. I left without hearing what he had to say next.

After School
Peter's POV
After School was over, I said by to Ned and started walking. I looked over at the paper with Y/n's name at it and what she had told me about her uncle being a very bad man and that it'll only make things worse if the Avengers were to get involve made me curious as to what she in fact meant.
It took a while to walk the whole way to the tower even though I took the train, but it was worth it. With the paper in my pocket, I used the handprint scanner to go in and walk down the hall.
"Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y? Where's Mr.Stark?" I asked his AI
"Mr. Stark appears to be in his lab. Should I notify him of your appearance?"
"Yes please and thank you." I replied before making it down to the level he was on. It wasn't that long till I was opening up his lab doors.
"Hey Kid. Have the information I told you to get?" He asked looking up at me
"Yeah. She goes to my school."
"She does? Is there something I should know before you hand over or tell me anymore information?" He asked as he raised an eyebrow.
