Chapter 14 - Chapter 14: Matchmaking, Tutoring and Love~

Early morning

Junior high school student classroom

Midtown high school

Manhattan, NYC

Leif was sitting on the last chair of the second row in his classroom. Teacher hadn't arrived yet. Students were talking about their summer vacations. Most heated topics were obviously related to the heroes.

In this, they talked about Loki's invasion with frost giants and Executioner. Where Amora mind controlled both heroes and villains for her goals. Then, they talked about mysterious Enigma and his Earth Elementals.

How he solved everything sooo easily. Then, they talked about Project: Sentinel. Where heroes, Shield and government attempt of genocide against Meta humans was almost turned into human extinction.

Which was once again, was thwarted by the super ultimate, Meta human mage, Enigma. How villains were scared to come out while he was on patrol in NYC.

Here, Flash Thompson was still on his position as Spider-Man's no 1 fan boy. Which actually baffled Leif that he bullied his ideal on pretty much daily basis.

Then, home teacher arrived and silenced the class.

Home room teacher " Class! We are going to have a new student. Please come inside."

A curvy redhead with green eyes came inside. Leif was positive that she had a D-cup.

???" Hello! My name is Mary Jane Watson. You can call me MJ."

Then, she got a seat next to Peter. Leif was looking at the idiot almost drooling over MJ talking to him. He could sense Gwen breaking down and Harry was seeing it as his chance.

Lunchtime

Corridor

Midtown high school

Leif POV

I was on my way as last person from class to cafeteria when our science teacher, a black male, stopped me. I didn't sensed something bad. Neither he was with any organisation.

S.T." Mr Sorensen. Can we have a talk in my office?"

After some moments, I nodded. We went to his office. He sat on his chair. Gestured me to sit.

S.t." Empire State University has offered us an internship program with Dr Conners. As one of our top 3 students and top among them, I want to ask, will you go?"

Leif" To work with Dr who accidentally became lizard and Peter hid his secret. Hell no! But..."

He thought this in 1 second.

Leif" How many are going?"

S.T." Only two. I am considering you and Miss Stacy."

He was informed.

Leif" Looks like a chance..."

Leif" Sorry, sir. But I have decided to choose inorganic chemistry and MBA for my future. I have decided to join my legacy of my family. I even joined the Sorensen Glassworks for two months of my summer vacations.

I will likely recommend Gwen and Peter. They are good and they need it."

After some moments...

S.T." Sure and it's good to know what you picked. But can I ask you a favour tomorrow."

Hmmmm, did he need donations?

Leif " Sure."

....

Afternoon

School off time

Classroom

Midtown high school

Manhattan, NYC

It was Mr Terrence Shaw's class. The same science teacher. As students were leaving, he stopped Gwen and Peter. With a smile, Leif went out.

Mr Shaw" Gwen, Peter, ESU has given us a two students internship program with Dr Conners. Out of our top 3 students, I am choosing the later two. You two."

Peter" We are later?!"

He was surprised.

Gwen" Wait?! Leif isn't coming!"

With wide eyes...

Peter" Leif is OUR TOP STUDENT?!"

Mr Shaw " Leif has decided to go into inorganic chemistry. He even works two months in an industry during summer vacations as an intern. So, he told me to pick you too.

When I asked him during lunchtime today. So, are you two interested?"

After looking at each other for few moments. They smiled and nodded. Mr Shaw wrote their names on the forms and gave them. As they went out and were moving out.

Leif grabbed Peter and yanked him aside. Before Peter could retaliate.

Leif " Hey, Peter. I hope, you are happy for ESU. It will be great chance to learn, get contacts and get closer to Gwen."

Realising what's going on.

Peter" Yeah, thanks man. I didn't know you were our TOP STUDENT! But I heard that you have chosen inorganic chemistry and even work in an industry for two months in the summer vacations!

That's way more productive than I had. Plus, yeah. It will be my chance to have a great future. As for Gwen, wait?! We aren't.... a thing!"

He stammered.

Leif" But you like her, don't you? Plus, she's good for you."

Peter" Maybe... but I don't know about her feelings."

After some moments...

Leif" Then, watch and listen."

He moved past him and stopped the incoming Gwen.

Leif " Hey, Gwendolyn. I hope, you will like ESU program."

Gwen" You can call me Gwen and thanks. Plus, I want to congratulate you for having a productive summer vacations."

Shrugging...

Leif" Compared to all heroic chaos, it was nothing. Well, good luck for getting a chance to get closer to Peter."

Gwen" WHAT?!"

Her eyes widened.

Leif" What? Peter might be an oblivious fool but I can see your emotions for him. So, if he asks you out, will you accept it?"

Looking down...

Gwen" Yes but I don't think, he will ask me. Besides where is he?"

Leif" He went to pick something, he left in the classroom. You go to ESU point bus station. I will send him there."

Nodding, she went out. I moved back to Peter. Who had a dropped jaw.

Leif " So, what are you waiting for you idiot?! Go and ask her already!"

Composing himself...

Peter" Thanks and I will."

He went out. With this, Shield would only see me as a good friend. Then, I went out myself.

.....

Night

Unknown location, USA

Natasha POV

I came in and opened the PC. After many inscriptions codes. Video link opened. A shadow was present.

S" What's your report? Have you acquired the blue prints of Project: Sentinel?"

Natasha" No, sir. Either they were destroyed in the base dipped into the Sun by Enigma or Fury Jr or Trask have IT."

Sighing...

S" I see. It will be hard because Fury Jr is more paranoid than his older self. As for Trask, he's in surveillance of Fury Jr and probably Enigma too. That Meta human is dangerous."

Natasha" Even you are using that term, sir."

I said with a smile.

S" We already knew that mutants were a sub species of humanity but we didn't named them. Now, they are publicly recognised. Inform me if you get any mission related to Enigma.

Hydra hate mysteries. Hail Hydra!"

Natasha" Hail Hydra!"

She closed the video link, her PC and went out of the hidden Hydra base.

Leif POV

I was standing near a tree close to gate. I wanted to know how things actually went. Soon, I saw a couple coming. I smiled because it was Gwen and Peter.

They were holding hands. A beautiful romantic aura was surrounding them. Well, time to go to class.

....

Lunchtime

Mr Shaw office

Midtown high school

Manhattan, NYC

Leif POV

I was called in his office. I guess, it was for his favour. I knocked on his door.

Mr Shaw " Come in."

I opened the door and went inside.

Mr Shaw" Mr Sorensen, please sit."

After some moments of me sitting on the chair.

Mr Shaw " Yesterday, you asked me to picked Peter and Gwen."

I nodded.

Mr Shaw" I told you that I have a favour for you."

Leif" Yes."

Here it comes...

Mr Shaw" I want you to help a student in studies. It's not tutoring, just a request."

Huh...

Leif" Who?"

....

School off time

Midtown high school

Manhattan, NYC

Liz POV

I was called by Mr Shaw. I didn't remember doing anything bad. Besides Flash was getting annoying upon learning this. I swear that I was only with him due to....haaah...

I knocked on the door.

Mr Shaw " Come in."

I opened the door and went inside. I was still in my cheer leader costume. It was my high school camouflage.

Mr Shaw " Miss Allan, sit."

I sat on the chair. After some moments...

Mr Shaw " Miss Allan, I will be blunt. Your grades are falling. Badly. If you don't do anything, I will call your mother."

DAMN! This was what I feared the most.

Liz" Please don't call my mother here! I will try to improve."

Mr Shaw" You said that last time too."

What?! Please.. raising his hand...

Mr Shaw" I am giving you a last chance but you will follow my instruction. I have called the top student of your class to help you in studies."

Wait?! Was it Parker?! Nooooo!

Liz" Sir, I don't need Parker's help!"

Mr Shaw " Peter has third position in your class."

My eyes widened. That nerd was a third position holder!

Liz" Then, it's Gwen..."

Mr Shaw " She is second in rank. Currently, he's waiting for you in the parking lot. He said he wanted to talk to you first. If you are okay with it. Then, he will help you."

I was shocked. The two nerds of our class weren't the top students! There was some guy under our noses. It's baffling! Well, I had no choice.

Liz" Okay, I will meet him."

I stood up and went out. I was moving fast towards the parking area. Like walking faster. I couldn't run with a skirt. As I reached there, I saw someone in green jacket, jeans and sneakers near a bike.

He was arched over. Hearing my footsteps, he straightened up and turned around. Huh? Who was he again?! With a faint smile...

Leif " Hello, Elizabeth Allan! I am Leif Sorensen. Your classmate since two years now. You are here because of Mr Shaw and same goes for me. He asked me to help a student.

But if you don't want to, it's okay. It's your life. Otherwise if you wanna try this combine studies for once. You can come. "

Saying that he got on his bike. He was looking at me with a calm, honest look. After some moments, I sighed and sat on his bike behind him. He started the engine and we went out.

.....

A random cafe

Manhattan, NYC

Leif had brought Liz to a cafe where over coffee. He was teaching her physics by using football game, she cheered for as analogy. As for Liz, she was first baffled then surprised and now immersed in the topic.

Some passersbys were surprised by Leif way of teaching. The waitress was astonished too. As for matron, she was happy seeing some high school students coming here to study instead of kissing or getting a cabin for having sex.

As their coffee and doughnuts finished, so did their topic. Sitting straight...

Leif " Okay, Elizabeth! Our today's tutorial of this combined studies is over. So, did you like it?"

Liz" Wait?! What?!"

Leif pointed towards the clock. It was almost evening. He had taught all her difficult subjects: Biology, chemistry and physics during their brief stay here.

Waitress " I think, you should say yes. Even though I am not a science student. His method makes sense."

She said taking the crockery with her. After some moments...

Liz" First, call me Liz and not Elizabeth. Second, I think, I like your method. So, I will like to continue."

Leif" Okay. Then, I will drop you near your house's street."

He said standing up.

Liz" I live in Brooklyn."

She said standing up too.

Leif " Me too. Bushwick?"

He asked. She was startled.

Liz" Did you get my information from Mr Shaw?"

She was suspicious.

Leif" No. You are a Puerto Rican Latino. I have seen many people in Brooklyn. Even I worked with some. So, I know where they live."

Liz" Do you work? Are you poor? "

She asked.

Leif" No, I was an intern for two months in an industry this summer vacations. So, I met many people."

Her eyes widened.

Liz" WHAT?!"

Leif" Yeah. I am going to have a MBA with inorganic chemistry for my future."

Saying that he went out.

Matron" Tell me, honey. Are you two dating?"

Liz" No, my science teacher asked him to help me."

She clarified.

Matron" Is he good?"

Leif" He's my class top student. But I didn't know him before meeting him today."

Nodding.

Matron" As I thought, a diamond in the rough. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Liz" Umm. Yeah but..."

She stammered.

Matron" In simple words, you are not serious. Good. Now, listen girl. That boy belongs to the highest quality standards of men, one can find. So, don't give up the opportunity."

Vroom!

Leif" Miss Allan! We are getting late."

He called from outside near the cafe door on his bike. After some moments, Liz looked at him and matron. Then, she turned towards him.

Liz" I am coming! Plus, I told you to call me, Liz!"

She sat behind him. Leif wore his black helmet and they rode off.

Matron " Ahh! Youth! I hope, you will realise, lass."

Leif rode his bike with Liz sitting behind him on the Brooklyn bridge. Then, he turned towards the way of Bushwick. After some minutes, he stopped near Bushwick entrance.

Leif " Elizabeth. Since you have a boyfriend and I don't want rumours for both of us. I will be dropping you here. Of course in the case of emergency of heroic crisis, I will drop you at your home and explain the whole thing to your mother.

Ok."

Liz" Ok. I think it's better here. Second, I don't want to think about such time and call me, Liz."

With a smile...

Leif" Okay, Liz."

Then, he started his engine, cleanly turned and rode off.

Brand " Hmm, lad. Your certificates are good but tell me why should I choose you."

Eric" Because I live as an orphan in a church. I saw people especially workers hardships. I have a connection with them. I can help in your pr.

As we can work on lack of transparency by government."

Said the clone of Leif sent with a background. He had been given insight, deception, sleight of hand, good luck, bad luck, super intelligence and telepathy.

After some moments, Brand smiled.

Raising his hand.

Brand " I was waiting for someone like you."

Shaking his hand...

Eric" It will be my honour, Sir."

Early morning

Liz room

Allan apartment

Bushwick, Brooklyn

NYC

Liz POV

I was getting ready for our combined studies. Leif was going to pick me up after my breakfast at 9 am near the Bushwick entrance. Haah~ Sometimes, I wanted him to drop me here.

I didn't know why. I had even broken up with Flash using my mom as an excuse. But in truth, I didn't want to live a false life anymore. I just came from my bathroom nude.

I dried my hair, body especially breasts, navel, ass and my pussy with my pubic hair that I trimmed today. Then, I threw my towel aside. I was going to pick up my lace undergarments when I saw my nude reflection in the mirror.

Liz" What will Leif think of me like this?"

Then, I picked up my orange panty and slided it upon my legs, thighs and my hips. Then, I wore my orange bra. After that I wore a half sleeve orange shirt and jeans with sneakers.

I looked at my reflection and comb my hair and applied lip balm. I didn't like make up and same thing goes for Leif. During our time together, many ... girls hit on him but he didn't pay attention.

I took a deep breath. Carried my bag and went down. My mother Elena was making a Spanish omelet. I sat on the chair near our small dining table with four chairs.

Soon, mom came.

Elena" You know, mija! I am happy that you are paying attention to your future now."

Here she goes again. I poured myself some orange juice.

Elena " I never liked that Flash boy. He was just like his name. I am happy that you are finished with him. Ay, bendito!"

Yep! My mother was on seventh sky when I told her. I was eating omelet. With a mischievous smile....

Elena " Rather than that, I want to meet this Leif Sorensen guy."

I choked up and drank water quickly. Still smiling...

Elena " You okay, honey."

Breathing deeply...

Liz" Mom. We are just classmates and he's helping me because of Mr Shaw requesting him. Besides that we never talked. Heck! I didn't know if he had talked to anyone before.

He's just a silent person."

Rolling her eyes...

Elena" Yes, Mr Shaw told me about him. How he sat alone on his chair last in the row but is top student of your batch. He even has two months experience as an intern in an industry during summer vacations! ¡Qué cosa!

Who does that?! It's because he has made a clear path for his future! You should consider him. Not everyone is this lucky. So, don't let the opportunity slipped away. ¡Ojalá!"

I had eaten my breakfast. I wiped my lips with tissue lightly and stood up carrying my bag.

Liz" Mom. We aren't even friends. He didn't even dropped me here knowing I am single now."

Elena" And that's called being a gentleman. Maybe he wants a sign from you. ¿Quién sabe?"

I moved forward and opened the door. I closed it behind me and walked towards the entrance of Bushwick.

Leif was waiting on his bike in a green jacket, black half sleeve shirt under it with jeans and sneakers. He was holding his Hemet on his bag over his bike fuel tank.

Then, footsteps announced the arrival of Liz in a green tshirt and trousers with sneakers. There was nobody now in the area. She had this warm look on her face.

She moved forward and sat behind him like him each leg on a side. Then, gently holding his back. They rode off. But there was someone, who saw them.

Who had followed Liz. It was Sally Avril in her cheer leader costume. Liz had even left the team. She was chewing gum before which was sticking on her cheeks after popping up.

She was baffled, astonished and speechless after what she had seen today. She took out her phone and called Flash Thompson after wiping her face.

Lunchtime

Ground

Midtown high school

Manhattan, NYC

Flash and his gang had surrounded Leif. They were whistling and snapping their fingers while moving in circular manner around him.

Leif " What the hell?"

Students were gathering around. Gwen and Peter were there too. They were seeing this.

Gwen " Peter! This is bad. We have to help him!"

Peter was thinking how. He couldn't just swing in there and webbed them. 

Liz " Sally! Let me go! What are you all doing?!"

Sally along some cheer leaders was holding her.

Sally " You left Flash and our group for this loner! Now, he will pay and you will return to us! When you will realise that you were wrong."

Liz" ARE YOU OUT OF YOUR MINDS?!"

MJ was looking from a distance. At this time, Mr Shaw and some teachers arrived. Flash stopped with his back facing the teachers.

Flash " Look, leaf whatever, you made me lose my girl. And you think you can leave with it. Then, you are wrong."

He made a boxing stance but Leif was calm.

Leif " Listen even though, you are not a couple anymore. There's nothing between us! Besides Mr Shaw requested me to help Liz in studies."

Flash" Do you think I will believe that shitty lie? Even if the fucking black shit requested you, I don't give a shit! Thing is, Liz was my girlfriend. She was something which belonged to me!"

Leif frowned.

Flash" And nobody can have even my used goods!"

He rushed forward and threw a straight punch. Leif moved at a speed at last moment which made seem like Flash barely grazed his left cheek. As that happened, Leif turned right.

He grabbed Flash's left arm then tripped him by kicking his legs and twisted his arm on his fall in a lock. Flash fell face first on the ground and Leif was holding his left arm, he immobilized him with his right knee on his back.

All of this happened in a matter of seconds. Students, teachers, Flash's group, Sally along with her girls, Liz, Gwen, Peter and MJ were baffled, astonished and speechless at what had happened.

After some moments of trying in vain.

Flash " You are....trained?!"

Leif " I am a black belt."

Everyone's eyes widened.

Leif" Listen, punk! I don't care what you say about me. But if you say shit about teachers and Liz, you will pay! Teachers should be respected. As for Liz, she's a girl, not a thing!

Besides you have no right to say lies. You didn't even have that kind of relationship.

So, feel lucky that I am restraining you rather than beating you into a pulp!"

Mr Shaw" That's enough, Mr Sorensen. As for Mr Thompson and his group of boys and girls. You are coming with me to the principal's office. "

Leif released his arm and stood up while backing up. Flash stood up rubbing his left shoulder.

Flash " Me?! What have I done?! IT was this jerk..."

English teacher" Oh! We heard everything you have said about Mr Shaw and Miss Allan. So, either you all are coming with us for a suspension or you all will be expelled!"

His eyes widened....

Flash" WHAT?!!"

His group of boys and girls including Sally were shocked.

Mr Shaw " As for Mr Sorensen, he only restrained you in self defence instead of beating you. So, he has been released with a warning."

Leif" Sorry, sir."

Nodding...

Mr Shaw" It's okay. Now, ALL OF YOU MOVE OR WE ARE EVEN CALLING YOUR PARENTS!"

Trembling Flash and co followed the teachers towards the principal's office. Gwen looked towards Peter, who nodded and went to Leif. While Gwen went to Liz.

Gwen " Liz, are you okay?"

But Liz didn't respond. She was looking in a direction breathing deeply with wide eyes. Gwen followed her sight and saw Leif. Who was talking to Peter.

After looking few moments between them, she realised what had happened. Liz was falling in love with Leif.
