Cherreads

Chapter 8 - Ch. 8

"So, that was an interesting first class," Peter said as they left the classroom. "don't you think?"

"Yeah, a bit basic though," Harry hummed thoughtfully. "I suppose that's just because it's the first lesson."

"I'm just glad he didn't hand out homework," Peter smiled, Peter could admit to being a nerd, but that didn't always mean he liked doing homework.

"Anyway, what do we have next?" Harry asked as he pulled his timetable out of his pocket. "Ah, history."

"Sounds fun." Peter shrugged.

"Excuse me," A voice said, the pair stopped and turned around to find a girl with blonde hair tied into a ponytail, she wore pink glasses and had a pair of braces on her teeth. She was dressed in brown shoes, a blue skirt and a white shirt under a black sleeveless jumper. She wore a black backpack plus a green hairband and had a copy of a timetable in her hands. "do either of you two happen to know the way to history?" She asked hopefully.

"You're not that lucky," Harry chuckled. "we don't know either, we're trying to find it as well. Do you want to come with us?"

"Uh… sure, if you guys don't mind." She agreed.

"I don't mind," Peter piped up.

"Thanks," She smiled before she started walking along with the two of them.

"Hold on, I'm rubbish with names, you're…" Harry stared at her for a while, he remembered her from the class introduction. "… Gwen, right?"

"Gwen Stacy," She nodded.

"I'm Peter, Peter Parker." Peter smiled.

"And I'm Harry Osborn," Harry replied. "so, how are you liking school so far?"

"It's alright I suppose," Gwen shrugged. "we've only really had one lesson so far, but I thought it was interesting."

"You a science wiz nerd too?" Harry asked.

"I don't know about that," Gwen smirked. "but I like to think I'm pretty good at it."

"Same," Peter grinned. "I'm hoping to get top of the class in science."

"Shame you'll have to settle for second place," Gwen replied with a smile on her face to show she wasn't trying to be rude.

"So that would leave you in third then," Harry commented. "because I'm obviously going to get the top spot."

"Dream on," Gwen responded. "science is my best subject."

"Yeah, but it's my best subject as well." Peter cut in.

"That's fair but it's mine as well, not to mention that my father's one of the most famous scientists of all time." Harry grinned as he looked between Peter and Gwen, they weren't Ron and Hermione, but maybe these two could end up being good friends as well.

...

"So, as far as first days go, that wasn't bad," Harry commented as he, Gwen and Peter walked out of school.

"It was alright, apart from Flash," Peter grunted.

"Yeah, I didn't like him either," Gwen agreed, not exactly a fan of the loud boy. "still, it was nice meeting you both. Oh wait, there's my dad." She pointed at a car where a blonde man wearing a police uniform stepped out.

"Um… that's a police car." Harry pointed out, looking at the multi-coloured car with a very noticeable police siren on top.

"My dad's a policeman," Gwe said proudly. "he's going to be a captain soon."

"Huh, good for him," Harry replied. "ah, and there's my ride." Harry pointed to a black limo.

"Whoa." Peter breathed out in amazement. "That's pretty cool."

"Thanks, do you have a ride?" Harry asked.

"Huh? Oh yeah, my uncle is picking me up. There he is," Peter pointed at a brown-haired man who had just stepped out of a car. "so, I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow."

"Yeah, see you later." Harry nodded just as Gwen said her goodbyes and walked off.

"Ok, goodbye." Peter walked off as well while Harry walked to his limo and opened the back door to find his dad sitting in the back seat.

"Hello son," Norman Osborn greeted him casually. "how was your day at school?" He asked.

"I thought you were at work," Harry frowned as he sat down in the car.

"I left early," Norman said simply as he closed the door. "now, how was your day at school?" Norman repeated.

"It was good," Harry answered as the car started driving off. "the classes weren't bad. And I made some friends."

"That's nice."

"Yeah, their names are Peter and Gwen, they're both really smart."

"That's excellent, I'm glad you've enjoyed your day," Norman replied. "and… you are sure that you want to stay in this school?" He asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Dad, give it up." Harry sighed, rolling his eyes.

"I don't ever give up," Norman replied, a moment later he sighed and leaned back in his seat. "but if you're truly happy at this school of hours then I will drop the subject."

"Thank you," Harry said appreciatively before pausing and staring at him. "did you get into another argument with Mum about it?" He guessed.

"I don't want to talk about it." Norman stiffly replied.
