Look, man. Peter's always been at the outskirts of school even at his best. At least at his high school he was a nerd among nerds? But man, middle school left some scars. He ducks his head a bit, rubbing at the back of his neck.

"I dunno, it'd just be nice to like - have friends this time around?" He loves Ned dearly for sure but. "I don't wanna mess that up, especially if this is where I'm gonna go to school for the rest of my life."

He's pretty sure he can't go back to Midtown Tech after this.
