Chapter 3 is a gentleman and not a hero
Sacramento High School is coeducational with a class of about 20 students. Evan's Class A originally consisted of only 19 students, with five more boys than girls. The asymmetry of resources makes the girls in the class particularly favored.
Audrey's arrival is no less than a gospel for the boys, but the girls are not happy.
Also, the eyes that were originally focused on themselves have run to others, and everyone will frown.
Jealousy is a human instinct.
However, Audrey has not yet felt the crisis from the girls in her class.
Because Evan overbearing occupies her first recess after coming to school.
Evan sat on the chair backwards, clasped the back of the chair with both hands, and looked at Audrey with a smile.
Because of his proposal, Audrey sat behind him.
It's good to have a small classroom, so you don't have to worry about not being able to see the blackboard even if you sit in the last row.
"Hello, my name is Evan, Evan Warren, you can call me Evan. ”
Audrey lowered her head, flipping through the textbook she had just gotten her hands on, deaf to Evan's self-introduction.
"You're from the Netherlands, right? The Netherlands seems to be the land of windmills, do you have one?"
"What do you think of the United States?"
"How many people do you have? Do you have brothers and sisters? I have five brothers and sisters, two older than me, and my brother is very annoying, but the younger sisters are very likable, by the way, they are twins, and they are very cute. But not as cute as you. ”
"Why are you so pretty?"
"You have perfect leg shape, can you dance ballet?"
Audrey didn't answer a word, Evan talked to himself like a fool, and the questions he asked became more and more annoying, and Audrey's distressed brow was urgent and overwhelmed.
A girl sitting next to her couldn't take it anymore and picked up a textbook and threw it at Evan. With a thud, the textbook hit Evan in the head.
"Oh!" Evan covered his head and glared angrily at the culprit, "Carol, you want to kill someone!"
"Hmph!" Cairol, who had blonde hair and was originally not bad looking, but was affected by the pimples on his face and lost a lot of points, glared back unceremoniously, and scolded sharply: "Evan, close your stinky mouth if you can't speak! ”
After scolding Evan, out of the corner of her eye, Kairol noticed that her neighbor Audrey was looking at her with her small mouth open, and her big smart eyes were full of admiration. Kairol was so proud that she turned her head sideways, looked at Audrey, and said like a big sister: "Audrey, don't pay attention to this guy, he's a coward!"
"By the way, my name is Carol. Margaret), nice to meet you. ”
"Hello, Kairol, my name is Audrey, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
With Evan as a common enemy, the two quickly became good friends.
Evan, who had been counted out, had to turn around, he supported his chin with one hand, facing the window, looking like he had lost the battle, but in fact there was no loss in his eyes.
Sacramento High School has seven 50-minute classes a day, five in the morning and two in the downstream, with only a 5-minute break between the third and fourth classes in the morning. The first class in the morning starts at 7:45 a.m. and at 1:15 p.m. in the afternoon. Half an hour at noon is lunchtime, which is settled at the school, and it is generally not allowed to go out. Some students bring their own lunches, and cooked food is also available in school cafeterias.
Virginia and Evan ate together as usual. Virginia's mood was much better, and her face was as energetic as the sun.
The two sat opposite each other, with a plate of salad in front of Virginia and a plate of salmon baked with garlic cheese in front of Evan.
Who is a carnivore, at a glance.
While replenishing their energy, the sister and brother chatted, and the topic was endless.
"Colin doesn't know if he is in danger in the army, why didn't he write back?
"Don't worry, the war is over. He'll come back with all his beard and tail. ”
"Hopefully you're right. "Well, Evan, have you ever thought about what you're going to do when you're a high school graduate?"
"No, Virginia, I'm only in tenth grade. ”
"It's also ......"
"Virginia, that's what you're worried about in the morning?"
"Yes!"
"What do you think? Tell me about it, and I'll help you take a look!"
"How do you feel about college?"
"Not how?"
"Huh?"
"Which university is better to go to?"
At a time when college mainly relies on letters of recommendation, the American college entrance examination SAT has only been established for 20 years, and the ACT has not yet appeared, as the governor's eldest daughter, Virginia's college entrance examination will definitely not be more difficult than buying a bag if she wants to go to college.
"Oh!" Virginia nodded, thinking Evan was right, "what do you think of Yale?"
"You're asking the wrong question again!" Evan said, "and as a whole, Yale is naturally good." ”
"But before choosing a university, you should tell me, which major do you want to study?"
Virginia hesitated for a moment and then said solemnly: "You promise one thing first!"
Evan guessed what Virginia meant, and said with a straight face, "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret." ”
Virginia looked at Evan for a full second and decided to believe her brother: "I want to be a writer in the future." ”
It's not out of place at all, I don't understand why you're so serious.
Evan complained in his heart.
"Writer?good choice, I thought you wanted to apply for a maid major, oh!"
Evan was kicked in the shin.
"If you want to be a writer, then the major in college is not very important. After all, no major will delay you from holding a pen. ”
"Seriously. ”
The key to becoming a writer is to write more, and to listen, watch, and think more. However, studying a good major can indeed increase your success rate as a writer. For example, literature, philosophy, sociology. Of course, if you plan to write science fiction, you can also study science. Which do you prefer?"
"Literature?"
"So be it!"
"What's like that, you haven't said which school is better?"
Evan looked stupid and said, "Ivy League can be any one, if you don't want to be too far from home, you can pick one of our schools in California." ”
Virginia felt that Evan's eyes were really underwhelming, and it took a lot of effort to hold back, "Okay, listen to you." ”
"By the way, Virginia, since you want to be a writer, do you have any unpublished masterpieces, do you want me to help you take a look?"
"I refuse!"
"Stingy!"
"Wow!"
The siblings' daily bickering suddenly stopped, and Virginia looked behind Evan and asked, "Evan, that girl seems to be in your class, right?"
Evan turned his head and saw a group of senior male classmates at the dining table not far away, surrounded by two seated girls, one with his back to him and the other facing him, with familiar faces.
Kairol!
So with her, it'...... Audrey?
Evan jerked to his feet.
Schools are ivory towers, but they are also small societies. Since it is a society, it is made up of all kinds of people. Some people work hard, some people are confused, and there are even teenagers who are restless because they are in adolescence.
That's it with William.
He's a tall and stout member of the school football team, and he's not missing girls around him when he's doing well, but he can't help but search for better prey.
William is in the twelfth grade this year, and his academic performance is not good only on the ball, which means that he is about to enter the society, and there are only a few months left in his easy time at school.
Therefore, William decided to hurry.
In his experience, the canteen is one of the excellent hunting grounds.
Today he was lucky, and as soon as he came, he found a girl who made his eyes shine like an angel.
So, he took his two younger brothers to talk to him, not to mention anything else, so he got to know each other first.
However, before he could say a few words, someone stuck a pole sideways.
William looked up and down at the uninvited guest in front of him, who was a head shorter than him, and thought to himself, I dare to stand out in front of me with this head, and I can't help myself.
The boss with his eyes glared, made a cannibalistic look, and threatened: "Tenth-grade boy, see clearly who is standing in front of you, and then look at your thin arms and legs, and then think about whether you want to be this hero who saves beauty." ”
William is not small, but Evan is not intimidated, just kidding, what if you are big, I don't believe you still dare to do it.
Evan had no fear, and was about to use his years of teaching and educating people to preach well, when his sister Virginia, who came over because she was worried about her younger brother, stepped forward and pulled Evan, and she spoke first: "William, what do you want to do, this is my brother." ”
Another nosyman, what's going on today?
William, who was in a bad mood, looked at Virginia with unkind eyes, thinking that she was very familiar, and when he was recalling who this was, a younger brother stepped forward and reminded: "William, she is Virginia, and George the Bear said that she was not allowed to be touched." ”
Someone reminded William that he immediately remembered it, and suddenly felt a little weak, he didn't dare to provoke George the Bear.
William took a few steps back, without hesitation, and after a few words, he swaggered out of the cafeteria.
Evan touched the back of his head dumbfounded: "No, I just made my debut, why did you leave the scene so quickly as a villain?
The school bell rang and the day's classes ended, and a few minutes later, students who had no club activities walked out of the school in groups.
Virginia and Evan are one of them.
A few steps out of the school gate when a voice stopped Evan.
Evan looked back and saw that it was Audrey, so he greeted warmly, "Hi! ”
Audrey carried her school bag, reached out and brushed the hair from her ear, looked at Evan and said, "Evan, thank you! ”
"Hmmm, gentleman?" said Evan, "Aren't you a hero? I've helped you get rid of a villain." ”
Audrey shook her head, looked at Virginia beside Evan, and said, "No, it's my sister's credit." ”
"Thank you—"
Virginia smiled and introduced herself, "Call me Virginia." ”
"Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Virginia. ”
"See you tomorrow, Evan, and beg your pardon for going first, the man who came to pick me up has arrived. ”
After thanking her, Audrey trotted to a Ford parked on the side of the road.
Virginia notices that Evan's gaze remains on Audrey until the figure disappears into the car.
She suddenly realized, patted her brother on the shoulder, and said with a smile: "Evan, my dear brother, you have finally grown up. ”
Evan didn't answer, but asked faintly, "Some people say that beauty and wisdom often don't go hand in hand, Virginia, do you agree?"
"Of course not, do you think so?"
"No!" said Evan, "and it couldn't be more wrong." ”
is worthy of being a goddess, and I figured out so quickly that I pestered her on purpose in the morning, in order to help her quickly integrate into the 10-A class, so she is called a "gentleman".
