New Students weren't a new thing for Midtown High. It was an extremely well known STEM school and there were new people every year. This year was a little different though because they'd been approved to offer off campus boarding for students who lived a little further than midtown. Peter had briefly looked into it but he was quick to discover that his scholarship stipend would not cover it and opted to keep his usual route which involved the subway. It was probably better that way anyway. He didn't need anyone else discovering he's Spider-Man.
However, that didn't save him from being contacted by Principal Morita himself with a request that he join the student welcome committee which was just a group of students that were to act as tour guide and show the new students around the school. He was promised it would look good on his college resume and if there was something Peter could do to help earn himself a scholarship he was going to do it.
...
Except that the other student that was asked to act as a tour guide was none other then Flash Thompson. He got to the building at ten ten (fifteen minutes after he was supposed to), saw Flash standing by front doors and thought: 'Yeah, this seems about right.' Flash looked up at Peter approached and rolled his eyes.
"Great. Now I've gotta do this with Penis Parker." He groaned. Peter sucked in a breath. He wasn't exactly thrilled with the arrangements either but he had exactly five minutes to get over himself and the new students would arrive.
"You couldn't even be here on time, why would Morita choose you?" Flash asked. Peter shrugged.
"Beeeecause I have the highest grade point average?" Peter pointed out. "At least, that's the reason he gave me. Sounds fake, really." Flash shot him a look.
"Whatever. I'm giving this tour, you keep your mouth shut or your dead." Flash threatened. Peter's lips thinned and he just nodded. That was gonna be a little hard for him but he wasn't up to challenging Flash this early in the morning. It was just a quick tour of the school with Flash and then he could leave and go do something else until school started tomorrow.
