U.S. Public High School Start Times

Waking up to the beeping of my alarm clock, I couldn’t help but let out an unmotivated groan. School starts again today. The only positive thing about it: I can’t even think of one. I’ve hated school all my live, it gives me serious anxiety. It also doesn’t help to be the daughter of the famous Tony Stark. The teachers immediately asked more from me, giving me bonus material to learn and making me do harder tests. Sure, I easily get bored in class, but that’s because my father talks nonstop and sometimes he even spits out wisdom. And since I’m more of a listener than a talker, I take it all in and save it away in my brain. Either way, I hate school and that won’t change. But there’s nothing I can do against it. Just as I pulled my blanket over my head, my door opened and I heard heels click against the floor. “Good morning (Y/N). Come on, I made breakfast.” Pepper, aka Mum, sat down beside me and began to rub my back. “I’m sick.” The lie came out just as unmotivated as I felt and Pepper chuckled. “No, you’re not. Come on out.” She walked out and closed the door behind herself. I pulled the blanket back and sat up. “Oh! And don’t forget to wear the uniform today!” The door opened again and Pepper’s head came into view. “Sure.” Slowly, I stood up and walked to the bathroom. First, take a shower and wash your hair, then brush your teeth and get dressed. Last step, eat breakfast. After I finish all those steps, Tony will probably bring me to school. He does this every first school day. So, I step into the shower and enjoy the hot water as if it was the last time I’d feel it. After shampooing it and rinsing out the conditioner, I shave my legs quickly. As by a miracle, I don’t cut myself accidently as I usually do. Stepping out, I dry of my body and put my hair in a towel on top of my head. Pepper would fix it later into some kind of braid anyway. Putting toothpaste on my toothbrush, I stick it in my mouth and walk to my closet while brushing. Rummaging through it with only one hand is easier said than done. Finally, after searching for ten minutes, and having to go back to bathroom to rinse out my mouth, I got my school uniform. Putting it on, piece by piece, I looked at myself in the mirror. Blur skirt, white shirt. Black over knees and a black tie. My long, (Y/H/C) hair, hung in wet strands around my face, letting water drip to the floor. Well, that’s as good as it gets. Might as well go to breakfast now, before Pepper comes back. I walked through the corridors of the Avengers tower, to the elevator. Upstairs, in the living room, everyone waited for me to join them. They all sat around the big table, plates before them, caught in a conversation with each other. None of them noticed me as I sat down and began to eat. Well, none except one. Loki, the guy that attacked New York a few years ago, sat opposite of me and looked just as motivated as me. Stuffing my mouth with bacon and eggs, one of my legs, brushed Loki’s causing me to immediately look up. Opening my mouth to apologize, I only stopped because Loki shot me a small smile and touched my leg with his again. Returning the smile, I concentrated back on my breakfast, occasionally bumping Loki’s leg with mine. I can’t explain why, but his slight touches somehow relaxed me, kept my mind off the next few months, filled with horror. Of course, I couldn’t stay in this little bubble forever. All too soon, Tony stood up and grabbed my shoulders. “Ready for school kiddo?” “What would you do if I said no?” “Drag you along anyway.” He grinned at me and got his key and wallet from the counter. Sighing, I stood up and followed him to the elevator. Pepper ran after us, carrying my bag, handing it to me. In the garage, Tony chose one of his many cars and as soon as we sat inside, he shoved one of his favourite CDs into the radio and AC DC started playing. “Listen, I know, you don’t like school. I know you’d rather be home-schooled. But, look what it did to me. Until I became Iron Man, I was just an asshole with a lot of money. I don’t want that to happen to you. You probably don’t under…” Looking out of my window, I blende out my father’s voice and stared at the people in the street. Some walked to work, some teenager and children with their parents walked to school or to the kindergarten. How I wish I was still just in kindergarten. No one expected something from at that time. It was still fun to learn new things and to be better than the other kids. Now, it was an ongoing contest I didn’t sign up for. “Y/N?” Tony poked me in the cheek and I awakened from my trance. “We’re here.” I looked ahead, and sure enough, we were in front of my school. “Thanks for the ride dad.” I opened the door and swung my legs out. “Y/N! I love you.” “Me too dad.” I got out of the car and closed the door. The other students stared at me as I walked up to the massive building I call my school and I immediately felt sick. In contrast to my father, I didn’t like the attention of other people, I just hated it. “Okay (Y/N), first class starts in ten minutes. Time enough for a mental breakdown on the toilet.” My quiet mumble went unnoticed as I made my way to the girls bathroom on the first floor. Some say it’s haunted, so no one uses it. The others are way too afraid of ghosts since they found out that gods exist. I just use it for my mental breakdowns I sometimes have. Entering the bathroom, I walked into one of the cabins and locked it behind me. Burying my face in my hands, I take slow, deep breaths, trying to calm down. “It’s only the first day. Nothing will happen. You can freak out in a week (Y/N). Calm down.” Walking around in small circles, I ruffled through my hair, messing it up. “(Y/N)?” Startled, I turned around, just to be met with two emerald eyes. Loki stood right in front of me. In the girls bathroom. In my school. How did he get here? “L-Loki? What are you doing here?” Without answering, he pulled me into a tight embrace. “Calm down (Y/N). Everything’s going to be alright.” His usually cold hands, warmed against my back, sending a comforting wave through my body. He is definitely using magic on me, but...I’m kind of glad he does. Whatever he is doing, it calms me down and that is what I’m really needing today. After about five minutes of him just holding me, I pulled away and looked into his eyes. “What are you doing here Loki? They could send you back to Asgard for just leaving the tower!” My hands were on chest, while his rested on my waist. “Well, they can’t send me back if one of the Avengers himself brought me here, now can they?” He smirked at me, fully knowing that they could still send him back. But, he didn’t care. Not at all. “You were in the car the whole time…” “I sure was. And I’m going to stay here with you until you can leave.” What an idiot. But right now, I was really glad that this idiot came here with me. Maybe that will help me. Just as I was about to thank him, the bell rang, signalling that class will start in about a minute and every student should make his or her way to said class. “Can the others see you?” He just shook his head. Satisfied with his answer, I took his hand and pulled him out of the toilet and to my class. And he stayed true to his word. He spent those three hours we had on the first day, either standing beside or behind me, or sitting on the floor. Either way, he kept me entertained and calm and if I started to freak, he used his magic to calm me back down. After the three hours, he walked with me through the city. Somewhere along the way, he made himself visible for everyone and held my hand, squeezing it gently every now and then. People stared at us, but in this moment, I couldn’t care less about them. Back in the Avengers Tower, Loki and I went to our own rooms, changing clothes and grabbing things, just to meet in the living room again. Pepper was at work and the other Avengers were on a mission. So, we spent the rest of the day together on the couch, watching movies and eating pizza leftovers from yesterday. The next day, Loki accompanied me again. And the day after again. So, I spend the school year with Loki by my side. The rest, I’ll leave to your imagination…
