I DON'T OWN THE SPECTACULAR SPIDER-MAN OR STOKED

-No Perspective-

After Lo had told Peter about the bet she had made with Sally, he wanted to beat Hobie even more. Peter realized he was a bit bitter and reasoned to himself that he used to have a crush on her and when Parker asked her out, she responded with, "Are you damaged?!" The latest grom got in the water and paddled out close to his opponent.

"Good luck, man." Hobie said. He wasn't as bad as the other 'popular' crowd.

"Thanks, you too." Peter responded. The duo sat there until the wind picked up and the ocean surged. Parker allowed the football player to go first, mostly to see how much of his spider powers he would need to win. Brown used the water to launch himself into the air. While in the air, he completed a flip and returned to the water. After landing, Hobie moved to the left as the wave began to crash on itself. Parker's opponent was swerving in the water. With time left for one more trick, the football player launched himself into the air and preformed another midair flip. Peter could hear the loud cheering coming from the land and wondered when his wave would come.

"Way to go Hob!" His teammates yelled out. The groms looked at the kooks and shared a look of victory, especially Lo, as they all knew that Parker could beat that sesh without breaking a sweat. While all her friends were imagining the blonde cheerleader without hair, Fin's mind was not in the moment.

"We both know Peter can't lose." Emma assured her friend, noticing she left the others.

"You're probably right." Fin said pasting on a false smile. One that wasn't fooling her friend.

"Unless that's not it. So spill, what's bothering you?"

"Nothing's wrong."

"Come on. What's wrong" Emma insisted. "Does it have something to do with Peter."

"He and I are just friends." Fin said, too fast and high to be convincing. Fin turned back to the ocean and knowing her friend wouldn't say anymore, Emma followed her gaze.

A second wave had risen, this one had a foot over Hobie's wave. Parker had started his ride on the wave with letting it carry him closer to the beach. He moved over to the edge of the board to hang ten. Stepping back, he swerved the board back and used waves momentum to raise higher and launch him into the air. While airborne Parker grabbed the board and turned upside down and preformed two complete turns.

The bullies let their mouths drop, not able to believe "Puny Parker" had been able to do such an awesome run. And while many of the other groms were amazed by Parker's skills, Fin noticed that he had done much gnarlier moves at morning or night when no one else had been around (presumably using his spider-sense to not wipeout).

This wave was faster than Brown's wave and was getting close to shore. Peter realized he had only enough time to preform one more trick. Parker didn't see another open space for him to go airborne and opted for one that no one, save Fin, had seen and leapt off his board. Peter did a 180 in the air for his hands to replace his feet and was hanging ten. While he and Fin both knew he could make the trick work with only his fingers, Parker kept on both hands to keep his secret safe. He got to the shore and dismounted.

The leader of the bullies announced, "Cheater! There's no way Puny Parker could actually be that good."

"Lay off Kenny. There's no way someone could fake being that good." Gloria Grant, Kenny's girlfriend, said.

"No! They're going again." By this time both surfers were with their respective friends.

"Kenny! There's no need to do another stupid competition." Grant said.

"Yeah, dudette has a point. Surfing should be fun not competitive." Broseph agreed.

"Finally someone mature." Grant said as she placed an arm over the surfer, not catching any of the snickering coming from the groms.

"What you doing with my girl, Afro?" Kenny said.

"Afro? The names Broseph." Broseph flinched when the bully leader drew his fist back. The bully threw his fist and hit skin. Just not it's intended target. Instead of the surfers face, Kenny's fist was stopped by Parker's hand. Everyone, including the groms, were surprised to see Parker staring down the large football player, despite the size difference.

"You guys have tormented me for my entire life. I've learned to deal with it, but you will not mess with my friends! Got it?" Peter said, dropping the hand that had stopped the bully's fist. Everyone froze. The bullies and most of the other groms were wondering how to save the newest member of their group, the blonde surfer knew that if he wanted to, then Parker could send the entire team to the hospital. Peter was hoping he wouldn't have to fight in fear of exposing his secret, but knew that he would have to fight if Kong decided to throw a punch. "Maybe he won't." Thought Peter.

With Kong's personality, he should've expected the punch before his spider sense warned him. Parker had to fight the instinct that told him to dodge as the football players fist collided with Peter's face. Compared to the hits the villains would come at him with, Kenny's punch felt like it could've come from a baby. Still he knew he couldn't risk his secret and let himself fall back. He heard his friends call his name worriedly and rush to his side. The worried look on everyone's face made Peter hate how he made his new friends. Looking over Parker saw Fin look worried and realized that she never saw him getting knocked down, not even when Shocker and the Enforcers attacked. Parker got back on his feet, despite Kenny yelling at him to stay down. With Parker back on his feet, the bully leader threw another punch. This time Peter moved to the left and countered it with his own uppercut, making sure not to put any superhuman strength behind it. The punch knocked the bully back and made him grab his jaw.

"What's going on?" Bummer called out.

"You're employee just attacked me!" Kenny lied.

Bummer pointed at the employee house and yelled, "What?! You assaulted a guest. That's an automatic firing! Go pack and hope no one presses charges!"
