PLOT

Christine Branson was raised wanting for nothing. She was praised as a child for not shedding a tear or uttering a cry. She was praised for being incredibly quiet and polite. Her father, Roland Branson, is a hard working business man of a world wide empire that is respected by all. Her mother, Celeste Branson, is a super model with line after line of fashion, movie offer after movie offer, and most are envious of her beauty.
Alone in her New York City penthouse or beachside mansion Christine was kept sheltered and spoiled. So when she found herself going to one of the the best academically, successful schools in New York City, the fifteen year old put on the dazzling smile that her mother's critics adored and raised her chin like her father as he stalked his empire of riches. The kids of Midtown High bowed down before their alpha; her skirt rolled and lip gloss perfect. Christine is the definition of Queen Bee.

Peter Parker got into Midtown High on account of straight A's and his hard working Aunt May. After the incident during the first week of ninth grade, Peter believes his life over with the awful name crawling through the school halls until even the seniors bully him mercilessly. Christine had been there for the incident, yet everybody who follows her swears that she hasn't even chuckled at the name.

In their honor's English Literature class the first week passed smoothly for Christine, she sat beside her first best friend, Juniper Calvo, and Peter sat by his best friend, Ned Leeds. At the start of the second week of school however, Peter Parker and Christine Branson are paired together by their teacher not just for that quarter's big project, but for the entire year of ninth grade English in class and for future projects. And to Christine who depends on her reputation, she sees the laughs and disappointment coming from miles away.

          As their work begins, and being the hard working students that they are they start working immediately. Despite having the penthouse to herself for most afternoons, Christine asks if they can work at Peter's place. He agrees without a second thought, although too nervous about the Christine Branson being his partner to fully think it through. Christine releases a breath of silent relief, and when she realizes she has she glances at the boy to see if he's noticed. With the project's start the two learn things about the other that seem awfully ridiculous, and soon they realize that they might be learning less about English and changing more in their friendship.

           Christine screams from excitement for Peter when he tells her he got into the Stark Industries internship program and got the chance to go Germany for a retreat. Christine quickly fills out another form for the internship for even a chance to work in the labs and workshops they have at the Avengers' Tower and Compound that night. Learning being one of Christine's passions she'd jump at the chance to learn anything from the Tony Stark.
But with the eyes of paparazzi on her at all times and the weight of her father's heavy legacy on her shoulders Christine sets her sights on the path her parents paved just for her, and with a heavy sigh tosses the completed forms away — she hasn't been raised to toss away her parents legacies.

EXTRA INFORMATION

— Christine has been and is often left home alone due to her parents always working.
— Christine doesn't like all the attention she gets for having her 'super' mother and rich father. She honestly just wants to spend some quiet time with all three of them together.

— Christine adores most subjects ( sciences, maths, English and literature, languages, and history — doesn't mean she has perfect grades or the material comes easy ) BUT she loves working in the school's workshop on the old engines that their teacher only lets the advanced mechanical students touch more.
— Christine doesn't like how everyone bullies Peter, but she's scared to risk her position in the hierarchy of high school for a kid she hasn't talked to before. ( this definitely changes as they become closer friends ).

— At Peter's house she meets his Aunt who greets her with a tight hug and kind smile and Christine decides she never wants to leave. Christine ends up ranting to her bff, Juniper Calvo, about how amazing Peter's home is, but Juniper doesn't understand why her bff likes the 'dingy' apartment so much.

— The more they work on the first project the farther ahead they get until work days then into hangouts. The two get closer and closer until they call each other nicknames - she calls him Pete and he calls her Chris.

— Christine should find out he's Spiderman before Homecoming when Peter gets really injured as Spiderman and crashes on a balcony of a penthouse. Christine finds the Spiderman passed out on her balcony and brings him inside to help him out and when he wakes up he pulls off the mask.
— She stops talking to Peter for some time after she helps him get home, soon enough though they have to work on their next English assignment and she's at his house again ( their characters are really the type to try to apologize at the same time, and end up mixing their 'I'm sorries' together instead of waiting/letting the other speak first ).

— This book is also AU based, Tony and Peter have a tight bond and Tony has him over for more than just work. Peter is definitely allowed to bring friends and brings Christine over one time which leads to the two going to Stark Tower and the Avengers Compound any time they want ( Christine gets a pass to come over whenever she wants even without Peter ). With this in mind, May would also invite Tony, Pepper, and Happy over for dinner ( bc of his actual internship ) and Christine is always there anyway.
— Peter quickly convinces Christine to submit a form for an internship position that is almost immediately accepted.
— Christine lives at the Parker's and the Stark's more than she does at her own home.
— Tony's face when he finds out that Christine knows that Peter is Spiderman.
— Also Tony's face when Chris makes a comment on how an Iron Man suit could be made better and he loves the idea so much-

— With this plot being AU based Infinity War and Endgame have other details which will lead to a very different FFH and NWH. I will only be sharing these specific details about the plot ( along with my thoughts for WandaVision ) to the person who I accept to write this plot. I also have more stuff you need to know specifically about Christine. ( I have so many ideas for this I want to share, because Christine Branson will be anything but just a lover and Juniper Calvo will be anything but a random background character ). However Christine will be yours to play around with and write, but I'll be there to help you out in any and every way that I can!!
