Later that week, he turns in the pictures to J. Jonah Jameson, who gives him the minimum for only being fifteen years old. However, during his time at the Daily Bugle, Betty Brant has a problem with her computer and Peter is able to help out, by fixing the problems their website was having with the script.

He then runs to go check his e-mail to see if he had been e-mailed back, but to no avail. After his next period he runs into Mary Jane, who tells him that she is still angry with him. Peter wants to amend for it and decides he might tell her that he is Spider-Man. When he gets home, he realizes that there is a CD storage for any recorded data for the security.
