I got up early that morning. I had to abandon Shuana last night due to...... her dad. It was really awkward. I went to go pick her up. I waved my hand as she started to walk towards me, and then electro, I mean Max, shot up from an electrical box. It scared me to death. Shuana ran inside as me and her father battled out our differences.

"Peter, are you up." Tony says peeking his head through the door.

"I am now." I say sitting up. Is it weird that I sleep in my suit?

"We need for you to go to school. I volunteered you for an extra semester." I sprung up from my bed and was on the ceiling. "GOD YOU HAVE TO STOP DOING THAT!" Tony shouts at me.

"What about the identity thing?" I say crawling down the wall. Tony still has his hand over his chest. He starts to calm down.

"They'll just have to get over it. Now get up or you'll never be able to have a bright future with that bright mind of yours." I frown, of course Tony cannot see that. But I still do it.

"I'm frowning underneath my mask." I say pointing to my face.

"Like I can see that." He says waving off and walking out the room. I cross my arms in frustration. If I had went to school, I would've had a snappier come back. I throw on some of my underwear that match my suit on. And I wore my one piece suit so no one could pants me. I brought my paper bag lunch that had a huge red spider in the middle. I rode my skate board to school. It was a mixture of swinging and skating. People clapped in awe at my AMAZING moves. I did a hand stand with two fingers, one hand. I did some flips and some pretty amazing stunts. When I got to the front of the building, I froze. Swallowed my spit. Pulled up my big boy boxers and walked in. I heard whispers and gossip, I could hear every word. Flash hid behind people so I couldn't find him. I knew where he was at all times though. I skated through the halls. At lunch today, I actually got to eat my lunch without my mask on. People stared, and I waved. They eventually waved back too. But Flash was terrified, petrified, I swore he wet his pants when I got up to use the bathroom. When I got in there. I just clung to the ceiling, and started texting Shuana.

'Hey bae, sorry about last night' I text.

'Its fine, so whatcha doin' She sends with a winky face emoji.

'Sitting in lunch textin u'

'Peter eat! You will die from a lack of nutrition' she sends with a frowny face.

'Ill txt u wen I get bac 2 homeroom'

'Kk' I tuck my phone back into my cellphone. I run back out to the lunch room. Web my lunch over to me the climb the walls to get onto the ceiling. I web myself a little place for me to sit.

As soon as I sit I hear, "Peter.... Spiderman please make your way to the principals office." On the loud speaker. Everyone laughs.

"They always get it wrong." I say loud enough so everyone can hear me. People laugh, and I'm feeling good. I smirk, grab my board. And go. "What be up Tony!" I shout when I get in his office.

"There has been a complaint." Tony say crossing his fingers. As I'm about to speak Tony cuts me off. "It's not for the reason you think." He looks at me. I was actually really nervous. "Do you have any friends?" As I was about to answer, I realized I had no friends. I sat back down and shrugged. "That's what I thought. That's why today after school, we are going to the park to join those buddy, circle, group things." Tony says motioning with his hands. "You'll find someone. But the beauty of it all is no one will know you have no friends, you will be a sponsor." Tony said letting out a smile.

"This principal thing has made you soft." I say while grinning.

"No! Well, maybe. No! This is about you!"

"I'll go to the Park thing." I roll my eyes. Tony grins and waves me off. God. Friends. Who has time for friends anymore! They are only there to support you, and be there for you, and to talk to..... and hang out with you when you're bored...... So maybe I do need friends, but I barely have time for me, let alone friends. I'll do this park thing, but it's probably for people who cannot make friends with anyone. Who literally need bribes to make friends. I'm not about that. I open the door to see people arm wrestling. I just couldn't resist. "Can I join in." I say walking up to the table. At first they stare in astonishment. Then they laugh.

"If Puny Parker is still in there, you'll fail." Thomas said walking up to me. "Spiderman was a thing the last time you arm wrestled me, and I still beat you."

"That's cos I was trying to hide my identity." I say while cracking my fingers. "Set em up." I say placing my hand on the table. The guys were crushing empty soda cans and bottles. "Ooo, practice round." I grad at least five cans in my hands, stack em up, and only using my pointer fingers, crushed them down to smithereens. I swore all of the boys jumped back doing a not it. I laughed. It was HILARIOUS!!!

"NOT IT!!!" They all shout in a ripple.

"I'm kidding! If I did, you'd all have broken spines." I said laughing. I sat right above them in my webs, shoved my sandwich down my throat, and chugged three cartons of milk. They kind of forgot about me, so I left that spot. I wasn't a jock, I was Peter Parker the nerd, and that's all I'll ever be. Then I realized how hard this 'friend' thing is gonna be.
