Emergence: The Spectacular Spider-man Series- BOOK 01

Episode 16

"There, look"

"Where?"

"Next to that fat ass Ned!"

"Where are is filthy glasses?"

"Did you see him fight yesterday?"

"Did you see his muscles?"

"He has changed!"

Whispers followes Peter from the moment he left the first class. Juniors queuing outside classroom, and seniors turning their heads to stare at him when Peter and Ned passed by. Girls, and especially Cindy would especially doubled back to pass him the corridors again, staring. Not with any kind of admiration, but mostly with shock and loathing. Flash was a sort of the typical cool-bad boy for all of them. And bashung him in a room full of people, was certainly gonna buy Peter this inexorable attention.

Peter wasn't completely pleased with everything that his new powers had gifted him with. If only his powers were retricted to good looks and a stronger body, it would have done far better; Peter thought to himself, cause the other things tha it gave him weren't really helping him, or maybe he hadn't just yet discovered a way to manifest hs powers properly. And thus, he had been runnimg straight from one problems to other from the very first lecture at school.

Firt during his physics labratory practicals, his hans had suddenly went sticky halfway through the class, making the test tubes stick to his palm without a even the slightet sign of fallinf off. It was only after Peter got scolded for smashing his hand into his experiment, the test tube decided to slide off from his palm.

Then, he had accidently managed to scare the shit out of his Algebra teacher, when she was invigilating in a class teacher. And Peter's spider sense had caused him into jump into an action pose when she was approaching from behind his seat.

If this had not been enough, Peter had accidently slapped a bully, when his spider sense decded to kill the small mosquito on is jaw.

"I don't like it! I don't like it!" Peter cried, as he and Ned managed to some space out of the crowd during the recess.

"What don't you like dude?" Ned asked, as both of them found a bench beside some halloween flags.

"This!" Peter muttered, starig at his hands, "The spider powers is just ruining everything."

"What did itd now?"

"Dude! Dind't you see, the testtube! It just won't get off my hand!"

"Haa!" laghed Ned, not believing Peter, "What has that got to do with the spider bite? The test tube stuck because your hands were full of adhesive!"

"No Ned No!" cried Peter, trying to conviece him, "Yesterday, the same powers helped me climb a wall!"

But Ned wasn't listening, he had taken out of his mobile, swiping through his notifications.

"Dude, are you even listening?"

"Dudeeee!" cried Ned all of sudden, his eyes and mouth gaping with excitement, as he jumped from his seat.

"What??" quetioned Peter, sensing the second hand embrassment, as Ned danced in front of him, among the halloween decoration strips.

"Whaaattt?" Peter asked again.

"She look so cute!!!" Ned chirpped, again doing a short dance, as Peter faceplamed himself

"Seiously Ned? I was tryna tell you about my--"

"Yes seriously!" Ned cut through the conversation, putting his phone in front of Peter's eyes. "Have a look yourself! She sent me her picture in the halloween costume. She is such a cute witch!"
