"Are you rich?"
He definitely did not look it, tweed coat, matching bow tie and what looks like a sweater vest underneath. The man looked more like a librarian than some guy that could throw five hundred bucks at a teenager for taking pictures.

Dan laughed "I've got money, I live in a very nice place and I have a car I never drive."
And a plane that gets me there faster.
"But I've never been very good at using it. Most of it just sits around doing nothing."

"I've got no problem taking money from the one percentile" Peter stuck his hand out "you've got a deal."

Dan took Peter's hand and shook it with a laugh, then took out his business card and handed it to him "I'm better via telephone, but if you're a texter or a e-mailer I can do that to. I've got a trip to Greece planned with my partner coming up. So call me in three weeks and we'll get this going."

"Hey yea, all right" Peter smirked "awesome, I'll contact you then. Thanks Mr. Dreiberg, I appreciate this."

"I appreciate it more" he smiled and started walking away before stopping "oh and e-mail me those photo's, they're better than the crap I have up on my website right now."
He smiled and disappeared down the hall way.

Peter turned with a skip and headed toward the genetics lecture. It was being held in a smaller location than Mr. Dreiberg's presentation, because there were going to be two of them and they only needed a little space.
As he came in to the room he noticed a mess of animals and insects on each of the tables. All of the tables were taken up, except for the one containing a rather vicious looking spider. Peter plopped down and looked around at the other students, who were watching him for a reaction to the spider "What are you guys afraid of it?"
A freshman who'd taken an honorary ribbon in the fair looked up "It's creepy as shit dude."
"So is Professor Henderson, doesn't mean we don't sit in his history classes every day." The girl pursed her lips and turned back to the hedgehog on the glass case in front of her.
He shook his head and looked closer at the spider. He was in the middle of reading the description when the Oscorp scientist started speaking. "What you have in front of you is the product of millions of years of evolution" Peter rolled his eyes "as well as a little boost from Oscorp" at this Peter looked up and pulled out his camera.
The lecture was long and wordy and although he stayed awake for most of it, he found that the scientists were dumbing things down for the teens and weren't saying anything he didn't know. He wanted to know more about the boost from Oscorp, but after the mention they didn't really focus too much on it. He decided to wait after the lecture to talk to the taller of the two who seemed to be annoyed whenever the other one asked if there were any questions.
As they finished up and the students left Peter walked around the room, looking very interested in the animals.
"Can we help you son?"
Peter looked up "Yea, you uh, mentioned something about a boost you gave these animals. I mean they don't look any different, I just wanted to know what you'd meant by that."
"It was just-"
"Buffing."
"Buffing?" Peter raised his eyebrows "Ohhh you were trying to make them seem more interesting than your regular lab experiments? What's the use in that?" It was a lie and Peter knew damn well it was.
"You think ninety percent of the teenagers in this room gave a damn about what they were hearing. Most of them had to do assignments on the lecture, I noticed you were the only one not taking notes."
"Well you weren't saying anything I didn't all ready know."
"Is that so?"
"I've got a gift what can I say."
The scientist looked at him and pursed his lips "Is that all?"
"Probably not, but I doubt you could actually answer any of my questions" Peter smirked and lifted his camera "smiles!"
As he exited the room he was grinning, the picture was absolutely awful and the men looked pissed. He threw his camera over his head and felt the strap prick at the back of his neck. "Ow shit" he instinctively rubbed the back of his neck and pulled the camera off.
It was bugging him all the way home.

Ben was on the porch sipping some lemonade when Peter walked up "How was the fair?"

Peter held up the second place ribbon and laughed "Gwen Stacy got me again" he laughed "I uh, one of the judges who did this panel uh Dr. Dreiberg?-"

"Yea, right well he's in New York now and he liked my photographs he wants to hire me" he itched his neck again and grimaced "offered me five hundred dollars a session to take pictures of birds for him."

"That's what I said, he said he was just looking for places to get rid of it, told him I had no problem taking his money" Peter hopped up the last step and sat down in the chair next to his uncle. "He said he's got a trip with his partner coming up and would be unavailable for three weeks, but wants to start work immediately after."

Ben paused at partner, he was an old fashioned man, but living in New York had definitely eased a lot of those sensibilities. Didn't stop him from saying "Didn't know he was a gay."

"He's not a gay, he's gay and honestly you never know he could be bi-sexual" Peter shrugged "but that's completely and utterly beside the point. It means I've got a job."
