Scene 6
A Sticky Situation
(Peter is walking to the bus stop, deep in thought. The bus wizzes past him. He looks and begins chasing it.)
Peter- Hey! Stop! Stop the bus! Hey!
Flash Thompson (inside of bus)- Hey its Parker! Look at ‘em. (sticks his head out window) Hey Parker, catch! (throws plastic bottle, peter hits it out of the way. The bus comes to a stop.)
Bus Driver- Hey, Thompson! If I see you throw something out of the window one more time you’re getting a referl! You hear me?!
(Peter boards the bus. He sits in front seat.)

(the bus arrives at school. Cut to peter in a class room with a teacher talking, passing out a quiz.)
Mrs. Andrews- Now, quiz will be on light refractions and waves. No listening to music, no talking, and I assume this goes without saying, but keep your eyes on your own paper. Are there any questions? Alright begin.
(cut to peter taking quiz. When he finishes, he lets go of the pencil but it stays in his hand. He tries shaking it off, but it stays stuck. Finally, he pulls it off. And goes to hand the quiz in.)
(he hands the quiz to Mrs. Andrews.)
MA.- thank you peter. (she grabs paper but peter doesn’t let go.) uh peter, please let go.
Peter- (he still holds onto it) sorry, it’s just a little sticky is all.
MA.- Peter, please let go.
Peter- I’m trying!
MA.- Let go now, or its detention after school today.
(Peter gives one last pull and the paper rips, the class is in uproar.)
MA.- That’s it Mr. Parker, detention after school today.
Flash Thompson- ha sucks for you Parker!
MA.- that goes for you too Mr. Thompson! Now get out of my classroom Mr. Parker.
(peter leaves)
(cut to peter walking through the halls. As he’s walking, he notices Gwen Stacy walking past him in the hall.)
Peter- Hey, you!
(Gwen turns around.)
Peter- you’re the tour guide from yesterday.
Gwen- Oh yeah, you’re the super smart kid, um Pakert, or Barker.
Peter- Parker, Peter Parker.
Gwen- yeah that’s it.
Peter- You go here? I thought you were in like college.
Gwen- No I go here. I’m new to here.
Peter- Ah, gotcha.
Gwen- Yeah, well, I gotta get to class.
