The basketball hall bathed in the sunset is brightly lit, and every corner is filled with a rich party atmosphere, with ubiquitous streamers and balloons, which look like Disneyland; Directly in front of the gate, colorful balloons gather together in clusters to form a large arch, which is particularly conspicuous; Next to them are two pencil inflatables taller than the building, dancing wildly.

The flickering of neon lights reflected the youthful and energetic faces, and the cheerfulness and joy of high school students surged in the air.

"How is it, when you see the basketball hall, is it very familiar and familiar?" Julia's smile regained on her face and she said briskly.

Lu Ke smiled dumbly, "It's okay." In fact, the year I graduated from elementary school, the school began to build a basketball hall, and I heard that it was a charitable donation from a wealthy man. ”

At that time, the primary school where Lu Ke studied did not have a basketball hall or a basketball team. So, Lu Ke chose rugby.

"Fate is interesting. If it had been two years earlier, would the 49ers have lost their leading quarterback? Julia winked playfully, and both of them couldn't help but smile at each other, "Honestly, I can't imagine you standing on the basketball court. ”

Lu Ke shrugged, "For most people, they can't imagine what I look like standing on rugby. Then, Lu Ke spread his hands and expressed helplessness, "Now it seems that they are doomed to disappointment." ”

The words were frivolous but with dignified confidence, and Julia couldn't help but laugh merrily.

Walk through the arch, walk through the gate, and then see the long queue at the entrance, forming a traffic jam:

Two students who could not identify their gender, one tall and one short, one fat and one thin, wearing a one-piece raccoon velvet suit, their movements were clumsy, and their every move, one front and one back were huge, and the area was really too large, which led to a series of blockage problems in the back;

In the procession, there was also a boy dressed as a decapitated knight, with a plastic fake head hanging from his shoulders, and then wearing a knight's uniform with high and wide shoulders, hiding his head inside, and the whole costume was also wide and clumsy;

The other couple painted themselves green and dressed up as a couple duo of "Shrek", and even more amazingly, they were holding a donkey, an inflatable balloon, not a real donkey;

A tall girl, wearing a corset and high-waisted trousers, showing off her proud curves, and then matching a scarlet cloak, looks exactly like a vampire count;

The most exaggerated is a boy, wearing a flesh-colored jumpsuit, the pattern of a skeleton on the outside of the clothes, in a dimly lit place, after the fluorescence is displayed, it is a skeleton dancing; He also wears colorful capes and acrobatic hats, all of which are decorated with traditional Mexican culture.

……

The costumes in front of me are really varied and dazzling, and it seems that every student has spent countless thoughts, deliberately trying to be different, and to make a good show at tonight's back-to-school prom; Before he had time to enter the ball hall, Lu Ke had already deeply felt the cultural differences that came to his face.

"Didn't you go so crazy when you were in high school?" Julia caught the surprise and curiosity in Lu Ke's eyes.

"Nope." Lu Ke shook his head and chuckled, as if recalling those footage from high school again, "In our senior year of high school, the back-to-school prom was a retro party, in the style of the fifties to the seventies, and then you know, the whole dance floor was 'Elvis' Elvis-Presley, and then Marilyn-Moonroe. ”

"I remember, Logan was Michael Jackson!" Julia's memory also reawakened, and she smiled brightly and said the answer.

Lu Ke nodded in affirmation, "We are all Michael Jackson." In fact, I remember it as if there were eight or nine Michaels. Then at the ball, everyone was competing to see who danced the most. "Actually, it was only four years ago, and now that I think about it, it feels like a world away.

"Dancing?" Julia covered her mouth and looked Lu Ke up and down incredulously, she had no way to imagine Lu Ke's dancing appearance, the questioning eyes fell into Lu Ke's eyes, he raised his hands and expressed his surrender, "Tonight, I am responsible for serving as a flower messenger, but I am not responsible for the duties of a dance partner." ”

The distant, apprehensive expression made Julia chuckle.

In between small talk, the queue began to shorten, and every student who arrived had to register, not only to report, but also to vote for the king and queen of the back-to-school ball.

The registration process serves two purposes: first, to collect the ballot, and each person can only receive one; The second is to confirm attendance, and only the students who confirm the report will have their votes counted.

Julia stood on tiptoe and leaned forward, looked at Lu Ke, and asked, "It will take a while to queue up." Otherwise, let's just go in, shall we? Anyway, I don't have any interest in voting for the king and queen. ”

"Are you sure?" Lu Ke also glanced forward, with the advantage of height, even if he stood in place, he could see the situation in front of him, "There are only three groups in front of us." It's just that the guy in the panda hood looks like it's taking up a lot of space. ”

Suddenly, there was a commotion in front of them, which seemed to cause a quarrel, interrupting the conversation between Lu Ke and Julia, and reflexively cast their gaze, and in the midst of the loud music, there was the sound of arguing with each other.

"We're just here to check in, it's only a matter of thirty seconds......

"Then please line up, you have to stand in line!"

"The team is for losers, do I look like a loser?"

"When you come up high and cut in line, you're a loser!"

……

You have been arguing back and forth, without giving in, and before Lu Ke could react, Julia had already raised her voice and shouted, "Line up!" Please line up politely! Immediately afterwards, other students in the back also began to shout, "Don't cut the line", "Hurry up and line up", "What the hell", etc., all kinds of complaints, without hiding at all.

The public resentment broke out, and the commotion at the front gradually subsided, and then a man and a woman were seen turning around and walking back.

The road to the basketball hall is very wide, with a long queue for check-in on the left and a passage for direct entry without check-in on the right. It seems that just now these two people rushed directly from the right side and went around to the front, intending to cut in line; Now they have to go back in disgrace.

"Julia? It's you! A surprised voice sounded next to him, and Lu Ke's brain secretly sounded the alarm: Wouldn't it? Is the high-school-style dog blood going to be staged here? "That was you, right? Isn't it too naïve and stupid to take revenge? Even elementary school students are smarter than that. ”

The girl standing in front of her was wearing a small white suspender belt with a white leather skirt, and a pair of knee-length black boots, outlining the beautiful leg curves and grabbing the eyeballs; The proud upper circumference is about to come out, and the long blond hair is lazy and casually drooping down, which is even more amorous.

It's a pity that the arrogant and provocative expression spoils the overall feeling. What's more, after closing the distance, you can see the big heavy makeup on the cheeks, and the peacock blue eyeshadow is particularly eye-catching, as if you have just been punched by someone else.

Jenny Donnagan!

Julia's hands clenched, and her muscles tensed. Words of rebuttal surged in my mind, and I thought of such a response; But on the contrary, it was stuck in his throat and couldn't make a sound at all. This made Julia even more annoyed, annoyed by her clumsiness and sluggishness!

"So you didn't go to school? Even elementary school students should know that queuing is an essential quality. Lu Ke's familiar voice came from behind her, Julia breathed a sigh of relief, and then saw Jenny's stunned and distorted expression, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"You!" Jenny only noticed Lu Ke standing next to her at this time, frowned, and was about to refute, but then she realized her own fault, so she was suspended in mid-air, and it was really uncomfortable.

"Julia, who the hell is this?" Jenny didn't speak, but the boy standing next to her opened his eyes wide and asked.

Lu Ke's brows furrowed slightly, and he sighed secretly in his heart, are high school students so stupid? I can't hide anything on my mind, and it's clearly written on my face. Wait, think back to my high school days, it seems, it seems, it might, probably, it's pretty much the same.

The thought was just a flash, Lu Ke patted Julia's arm, signaled her to be reassured, and interjected, "If I were you, I wouldn't be so eager in front of my female companion, otherwise, it would be like you stepping on two boats, which is really the most unwise move." ”

Lu Ke briefly looked at the boy. The boy was well-proportioned and athletic, standing out among ordinary high school students, wearing a regular black suit and white shirt, wearing a Zorro-style black eye patch on his face, and short blond curly hair, looking suave and uninhibited.

At this time, the boy was also a little surprised and stunned, raised his head and looked at Lu Ke, his eyes flashing with angry small flames.

"You're Mark Quitez?" Lu Ke immediately reacted, it seems that this is not a coincidental incident, but a narrow path, "Julia, I thought your vision would be higher." ”

The subtext is to satirize that Mark's quality is too low and he is not worthy of Julia at all.

Julia tried her best to restrain herself, very hard, but she still couldn't hold back, she laughed out loud after a puff, and then looked up pretending to be fine, "High school girls, their heads are always stupid once in a while. Now it seems that I dodged a bullet, phew, lucky! After saying that, Julia also gestured with a "yes" scissor hand, and her expression gradually became relaxed.

"Julia!" Jenny and Mark both seemed enraged and shouted in unison.

Lu Ke nodded with a relieved expression, "At least, they are still a good match." Good choice. After saying that, the team moved forward again, and it was already Lu Ke and Julia's turn, and the two were about to sign in, but Mark, who was not convinced, stepped forward and stretched out his right hand to pat Julia's shoulder.
