Midtown High typing...

Summary:

Maybe making a group chat for the Academic Decathlon Team of Midtown Tech wasn't such a good idea.

After all, it has the potential to open the door for quite the chaotic questioning for one Peter Parker.

I'm sure there's nothing to be worried about though. Probably.

Notes:

I'm a masochist for even attempting to write using this workskin. But it's beautiful, you have to admit it.

Chapter 1: Midnight texting

Notes:

The chapter is from Peter’s POV (kinda; you get the point)

the chat is scrollable

Chapter 4: "you owe us some autographs from Iron Man"

Notes:

Back to Peter’s POV and yey surprise cameo from Tony

Please read the time stamps closely, as Peter jumps from chat to chat in his futile attempt at smothering the flame of curiosity lit up by his friends.

Yes, Tony’s profile pic is a photo of RDJ in the bunny suit. (I thought it would be funny)

[Also, don't get used with this update schedule, it won't last. Next month I return to university and before that I'm going on a trip to Greece, so at some point in the near future the updates will become more sporadic.]

Notes:

Fun fact:
Tony Stark’s phone number is taken from a comic issue where Thor had the number written on his hammer and left out for people to use it to call Tony.

From what I've heard, people in the US trying to call the number were met with a voice message from Iron Man (I'd say this is one way to promote the comics)

Don't try to call though, I'm not taking accountability for the outcome (whatever that may be) if you do.

Chapter 6: Admitting defeat

Summary:

Last part of the "war" between Peter and Tony.

Notes:

Now, Ned and MJ found out about Peter being Spider-Man. When and how? Idk. Maybe they figured it out themselves, maybe Peter told them, maybe he got caught; Who knows
