Peter's P.O.V|At home.

"I've never been so pumped for the first day of school, because today, everything changes.", I tell myself as I put on my shirt and then run downstairs. I then stop as I listen to Aunt May talking to someone else. "It isn't getting any easier Ana. We're almost out of money.", Aunt May says as her and Ana drink some coffee. "But May I'm sure Ben left Parker with many many wonderful things.", Ana says as she holds her cup with care. "But Financial Wizard he was not.", Aunt May sighs as she places her cup down on the table carefully, looks down, and sighs.
"I miss him so.", she says I quietly sigh too. "Oh but listen to me go on. We'll manage. Oh and please, not a word of this to Peter. I wouldn't want him to be concerned.", she says as I take a peak. I make three fake steps, clear my throat, and finally touch first floor. "Heyy Aunt May! How is the most beautiful girl in Forest Hills this morning?", I tell her with a smile as I kiss her on the cheek. "Oh Peter.", Aunt May laughs as she pats my chest. "Now hurry off. You don't wanna be late on your first day!", she says as she gives me my lunch bag and I start walking towards the door and open it.
"No Ma'am!", I smile and then frown as I turn back around and leave.

3rd P.O.V|At Oscorp

"I blame you for this. You told me to bring my magnetic air transport system to Oscorp!", says Adrian Toomes as he walks furiously towards Otto Octavious while pointing at him. "I-I-I know.", says Otto as he backs up scared. "You, but arrange the meeting with Norman Osborn!", Adrian says while following Otto down a small stair. "I-I had the best intention.", Otto says walking down the stairs backwards with a scared voice.
"He studied my ideas and rejected them! Then announce his Oscorp tech flight form inflator!", Adrian shouts. Otto gulps, "I-I am sorry Adrian.", he says. Otto immediately stops as Norman Osborn walks in with his security guards. "Don't you dare apologize Doctor. Oscorp has nothing and will even never have anything to apologize for.", says Norman. "Nothing to a-. Osborn you stole my work!!", Adrian shouts at him.
"Well that's some dangerous talk Mr. Toomes. Very dangerous and unsupportable.", Norman says as he walks down the stairs with his guards and towards Adrian. "Listen you old buzzard. You've been at this
for decades with not one success to your name. If you never accomplished anything as a young man, who would believe you created tech flight as an old one.", says Norman in Adrian's face while Adrian grows with anger. "Boys, show Mr. Toomes out.", he says as his security guards grab Adrian and start taking him outside of the lab.
"Good news Doc. I don't blame you anymore.", Adrian tells Doctor Octavious as he heads out the door. Doctor Octavious looks at him afraid while Norman sweeps his shoulders and smirks. "Doctor, next time don't be afraid. You can't be beaten by an old man with no future. The man who never became famous.", Norman tells the Doctor as Adrian secretly listens. "Fine, maybe not famous...But infamous.", Adrian whispers and smirks. "If I am leaving, I shall take what is mine. Here I come Norman.", Adrian walks to his lab to take his work.

Peter's P.O.V|At Midtown Manhattan Magnet High School

Alright. The Parkers are desperate for cold hard cash. But I'm not letting that spoil this moment. "Hey Pete!", a voice from a distance shouts at me and waves. "Harry, Gwen! How'd Summer treat ya?", I tell them with a smile. "Science Camp was fun.", Gwen says with a smile. "Yeah well the world tour stunk. My Dad spent the whole trip stuck in Board Room, so I spent my whole Summer locked in Boredom. I should've stayed in town with you Pete. At least we could've done nothing together.", says Harry unhappily.
"But now we're back. So, you ready for the torture palace?", Harry asks me laughing. "It'll be different now.", I tell him as I look to Sally Avril, just her sitting down all alone near the big water fountain with my big eyes. "Oh really?..Cause you spent half sophomore year stuck in a locker. He..he..Uh-Peter?", Harry asks me with confusion as I begin walking towards Sally. "Uhh-Pete? Where are you going?..", Harry asks him as him and Gwen look at me with confused faces.
"To face my destiny.", I tell him. Peter Parker's a wall crawler, not a wallflower. My life, is about to change. "Uh-uh um..S-S-S-Sally?", I call her nervously as she turns around to me. "Uh-what's he-uh-doing?..", Harry asks Gwen. "Is he-", Harry stops, "Uh-I think he is!..", Gwen tells Harry surprised. Then they both get scared from a loud voice. "Are you damaged?!", Sally shouts at me as she stands up. "Yup..he did.", Harry and Gwen say together. "Why in the world do you think I'd ever go out with Midtown High's champion geek?!", she shouts.
"Hey Rand, Penis Parker's hitting on your girl!", shouts Flash as he comes with Randy Robertson and Liz Allen. "Rand-uh-I didn't know-uh-you two were-.", I stop as he continues, "It's cool.", Randy tells me with a chill tone. "Cool?! You don't care?!", Sally asks him shouting. The point I knew I made a mistake was when I was too busy to realize that Sally shouts so much. "Why? You wanna go out with him?", Randy asks her. "I want to walk on a parker free planet thank you very much.", says Sally as a lot of people around start laughing at me.
"Flash then grabs my shirt and pulls me towards him. "Lucky you didn't try this with my girl, Parker. If your geek sweat is within one mile of Liz-", Flash stops as I interrupt him. "Back off, Flash. I won't be your punching nag anymore. Those days are over, things have changed.", I tell him in his face. Flash pushes me and then I trip backwards over one of his friends. Everyone except for Gwen and Harry, start laughing at me while I'm on the floor confused. Flash grabs my lunch bag, takes out my sandwich, and starts to eat it. "You heard him threaten me dude? Nerd thinks he's Spider-Man! How sad.", he says as he throws me my lunch bag to my chest.
"Oh man. My lunch!", I tell myself as soon as the school bell rings for first period.

3rd P.O.V|In a secret unknown place

A man with a big forehead and big suit puts in a pin number and slides down a panel. He starts walking in with three unknown men dressed differently into some empty warehouse. "Come on, the big man wants a word.", says the unknown big suited man as he hand signals them to follow him. They get around a stool with a walkie talkie on top of it. "The forces are all present and accounted for, Boss.", the man tells the man behind the call. "Thank you Hammerhead. Just let them get right to the point.
For the last four months, a pest has been interrupting our business. At first I can hardly credit the reports.", the Boss says. "At first I thought I thought the boys were trynna stiff us. Had to get a little rough to make sure they was--sincere.", says the Hammerhead with an accent as he fist bumps his hands. "All this time we never found the person behind the interruptions. But last night we had confirmation. The Spider-Man.", the Boss says as Hammerhead grabs a file and opens it with full of pictures.
"And you want the enforcers to wrangle up this here, Spider.", says a man named Montana with a cowboy hat and a western accent. "No Montana. I want you to squash it.", their Boss says as Hammerhead fists bumps his fists towards each other again.

Peter's P.O.V|Midtown High

"Alright, Chapter 1 by tomorrow, ladies and gentlemen!", says the Biology teacher as the bell rings for next class. "Parker and Ms. Stacy, a word.", the teacher tells Gwen and I as we both look at each other. "I wonder if either one of you remember our field trip we took last year to the tour given by Doctor Curtis Connors? At Empire State University?", he asks us.
As soon as he said that, I got a short flashback of me in my glasses and being bit by the missing spider which turned me into Spider-Man. "Ah!", I wine as I get bitten by the spider. My flashback finishes and I wake back up to reality with me rubbing my hands of where I was bitten.
"Pfft, trust me, that's one field trip I'll never forget.", I tell my teacher with a smile. "Me neither. Doctor Connors's research was thrilling!", says Gwen as she stands up from her stool. "I'm glad that you feel that way, because he is offering two internships to promising high schoolers. So, I recommended my two star pupils. You start this afternoon.", says the teacher with a smile as Gwen and I look at each other with excitement.

3rd P.O.V|Top of apartment building in front of Oscorp

Clack! Adrian starts putting on his armor, gadgets, and prepares all systems. Shing! His claws from his mechanical suit on the bottom of his suit come out. Shang! He takes out his mechanical wings and closes his fists.

Peter's P.O.V|Harry/Norman's building

   "Thanks for letting me kill time at your place, Harry.", I tell him as I sit down with Harry on his couch. "I'm not due at the ESU lab for another hour.", I tell him. "I'm just surprised you're not hanging at the school paper. "Aren't you their star photographer or something?", Harry asks me. "Not anymore. Someone else can take pictures of Flash prancing around the grid iron. I'll be too busy raking in the green.", I tell Harry with a smirk. "Uh--is this part of the same reality where Sally Avril's your-", I interrupt him before he continues. "Ha-uh minor setback. But-at least this lab job solves the Parker money problems!", I tell him with excitement.
   "I mean, look around. This belongs to your Dad and he's a scientist.", I tell him smiling.  Then I hear a voice from the outside top patio in their building. "Boys, come out here", says Harry's Dad, Norman Osborn as Harry and I look at each other confused. We go outside to the patio and  see Harry's Dad sitting on a rolling chair with his computer in front of him and under an umbrella, wearing a tuxedo. "I couldn't help all the hearing.", he tells us. "Uh-I'm sorry Mr. Osborn, I-", he stands up, "Don't you dare apologize son. I never do.", he tells me with a smirk. "So what's this, about a lab job?", Mr. Osborn asks me with interest. "At ESU working with Dr. Connors.", I tell him as I smile.
   "Connors? Ah," he says, "quite an opportunity! Don't suppose you were considered for the honor, Harry?", Mr. Osborn asks Harry. I look at Harry while he's looking down gloomily and talking with a gloomy tone. "Uh-um--no sir.", he tells his Dad. "Uh-it's totally not a big deal, Mr. Osborn, but um, thanks.", I tell Harry's Dad while feeling bad for Harry. "We'll-uh-get out of your way now.", I tell him as we turn around and are about to walk back.
   As soon as I turn around, there's this loud grumpy voice coming from the left, but instead of the floor, it came from the sky. "Osborn!!!", the man in the big suit says as he comes down, flying towards Harry's Dad and takes out two small mechanic claws from his feet, lands on Mr. Osborn's shoulders, hook it's claws around his arms like a bird, and took Harry's Dad to the air. "Oh no...my Dad...", Harry says worried.
