This guy had done his homework, he obviously wasn't just some raving conspiracy theorist who had come to this conclusion based on some completely unrelated events that Peter could have easily waved off as the delusions of some lunatic -- this wouldn't have been the first time that someone had accused him of being Spider-Man simply because he took pictures and the occasional video of the guy
They were on the right track, but they had all been just too insane to actually connect the dots correctly. Thousands of people took video of Spider-Man, did that mean they were all him?
But Peter wasn't going to admit that easily. His identity was something that couldn't be compromised, only one person in the world had the knowledge of who he was outside of being Peter Parker. "I've got a good camera, a really long zoom lens, it's not rocket science, dude. I think you're looking into it too much."
Then, he mentioned her. Gwen Stacy. Sure, they had dated for a while in the past, but no one knew exactly how much time he had devoted to looking after her recently. The hours he spent looking over the hidden shots of her that he'd taken, or scrolling through her Instagram feed and Facebook page. He wasn't obsessed with her, just still hopelessly in love, watching from afar because he didn't know any other way to protect her.
"... Look, I dunno what kinda weird prank you're playing, maybe you saw Gwen and I together or something" Maybe he'd gone to school with them, Peter couldn't be expected to remember every face, could he? "But, you've got the wrong guy, dude."
