The Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (On Hold Indefinitely)

Friends

Peter is standing next to his locker thinking about the Carnage Killer when someone said his name.
Cletus: Yo Peter!
Peter: Huh?
Cletus: Everything alright? You seem a bit... gone.
Peter: Heh, sorry. Just have alot on my mind.
Cletus: Hey man, it's cool. I'm just worried is all.
Peter: I'm fine. Come on, I'll introduce you to my friends.
Harry: Oh, so we are your friends.
Peter turns to see Harry and Gwen holding hands and heading towards Peter.
Harry: I thought we were just your entertainment for the past few years.
Peter: Oh you were, it was always a delight to see you guys not realise you both like each other.
Gwen: Did Flash know?
Peter: That man knows all.
Cletus: Hi, I'm Cletus.
Cletus extends his hand and Harry shakes it.
Harry: Nice to meet you Cletus. I'm Harry and this is Gwen. Cletus goes and shakes hands with Gwen.
Gwen: Thanks for befriending Pete. We aren't always around to make him feel more like a nerd.
Cletus: I should be thanking him. If it wasn't for him I would still be lost getting through this school.
Felicia: Trust me, it isn't as hard as it seems.
Felicia appears and stands next to Peter.
Peter: Cletus, meet Felicia.
Cletus: Pleasure to meet you.
Felicia: Likewise. So, we heading somewhere or are we just begging for someone to bully us?
Harry: I was thinking... Bowling.
Peter: Eh, could be worse things to do.
Felicia: It'll be a bore, I'm in.
Cletus: I got nothing better to do.
Gwen: Great!! Let's go.

(At the bowling alley)

Peter rolls his ball down the lane but it misses all the pins.
Harry: Oh come on Pete, you can do better!!
Peter: Whoops, sorry.
Peter heads away from the lane and sits next to Felicia.
Felicia: Having fun?
Peter: No Jameson, no homework, no Trent, no life problems, hanging out with the people I care about? Yeah, I'm having fun. You?
Felicia: Yeah, haven't spent time with people in awhile, especially you.
Peter: We barely ever hang out before. I think this is the first time, besides that time at Cindy's party.
Felicia: About that, what's the deal between you two? You guys don't talk anymore?
Peter: Life really. We decided that we should give each other space so that's where we are.
Felicia: I see. Well at least you me.
Peter: Me?
Felicia blushes hard.
Felicia: I meant us, I don't know why I said me.
Peter: Hehehe it's fine, I know what you meant.
As the two are talking, Cletus, Gwen, and Harry are watching them.
Gwen: They clearly have a thing.
Cletus: Even I can see that.
Harry: I don't know, Felicia just feels like trouble.
Gwen: And I'm not trouble?
Harry: The three of us are trouble.
Cletus: You think they'll get together?
Gwen: Peter's the definition of a nerd and Felicia is a bit braver then Pete, so yeah, I do. They really seem like a good couple.
Harry: I don't know, I just don't want to see Pete hurt.
Gwen: I know, but he needs to take risks. He's always so cautious.
Cletus: You guys really seem to care about Peter.
Harry: We've known each other for forever, and we've been best friends for life so, yeah we care for each other.
Gwen: We just want what's best for Pete. Ok, Felicia!! Your turn!!
Felicia sighs and gets up.
Felicia: Guess I have to play now.
Peter: It'll be fine.
Felicia smiles and walks to the alley. Peter smiles as Cletus sits next to him.
Cletus: So... You like Felicia?
Peter: Lovebirds tell you?
Cletus: Yeah, and my eyes. She clearly likes you.
Peter: You think?
Cletus: Yeah, I do. You should ask her out to the dance.
Peter: Dance? What dance?
Cletus: Homecoming?
Peter: I totally forgot that was happening. I usually don't go to dances.
Cletus: Well, here's your chance!! You can ask Felicia out to the dance.
Peter: Maybe later. It's to early to do that now.
Cletus: Alright, I understand.
Peter: Why are you so worked up over me?
Cletus: Well... you're my only friend Peter. I just want what's best for my buddy.
Peter smiles.
Peter: Thanks Cletus, now let's go bowling.
Cletus: Ok!
The two head towards the others.

(At Kingpin's tower)

Kingpin is sitting across from a man hidden in shadows.
???: Who you want me to kill?
Fisk: Spider-Man.
???: The guy the Bugle always talks about? How much?
Fisk: 300,000 dollars.
???: *whistles* He must be a problem for you to be giving out 300k.
Fisk: He's messed with my business, and I know he'll continue to do so. I need to stop him before he becomes more of a nuisance. You want the job Puma?
The man steps out of the shadows, revealing a man coveres with yoellow fur with long orange hair, wearing a red leather jacket, no shirt, brown jeans, and a belt with a bunch of knives on it.
Puma: I'll do it, 100k up front of course.
Kingpin hands Puma a briefcase and Puma nods his head.
Puma: Trust me, he'll be out of your hair soon. That, I promise you.
Kingpin: He better, or else you'll be the one I'm going to kill.
Puma leaves the room, and Kingpin smiles, thinking to himself how he'll be free of the pest once and for all.
