Chapter 4 New Friends I Made on the First Day of School

Midtown High School of Science and Technology, New York

Slade had to get out of bed early in order not to take a bath during the peak bathing season at the orphanage. Ran a dozen blocks in Brooklyn first, then took a shower. When leaving the orphanage, he took five pieces of toast bread at the door and set off.

Early in the morning in Brooklyn, a group of drunks and addicts who had gone too far the night before were asleep in the alleys. There weren't many people on the street, and Slade was carrying a bag, and while waiting for the traffic light, he looked at himself in the glass window and was more satisfied with his new outfit - the clothes were still the usual tattered T-shirt and jeans, but he had changed into a black metal blindfold, and there was no rope to fix it on his head, and he didn't look like a pirate, and he was a lot more handsome.

When they came to the door of Zhongcheng Science and Technology High School, many students looked much larger than the surrounding people, and it was estimated that they were first, second, and third year students, and they greeted each other and entered the campus. Some of the freshmen who looked a lot shorter than the people around them at a glance, and some of them were still accompanied by their parents, and they seemed to be a little nervous.

Standing in the crowd was a scrawny white boy, 1.73 meters, accompanied by a good-looking lady with glasses. Because both of them have brown hair colors, Slade thinks that the two are a mother and son.

"Peter, on the first day of school, you have to make a few more friends and learn to fit in with the group. Stop playing alone every day like you did in junior high school, okay? The lady said softly to Peter as she straightened out Peter's clothes.

"Aunt Mei, don't worry, I will." Peter nodded to Aunt May.

The two were about to hug and say goodbye, only to find a one-eyed boy staring at them, a little unnaturally frozen. Slade looked away, not lingering on the two men. Walked directly into the high school gate.

As soon as you enter the gate of Midtown Science and Technology High School, there is a football field, surrounded by a track and field track, and some students with headbands on their heads are practicing running. Walk past the rugby field and the railings on both sides to enter the school building. Long hallways lined with lockers and classroom doors on both sides.

However, in this school, Slade did not receive strange expressions from many people, as if this high school was already much stranger. Some people have strange hair colors, some people have the remote control of the drone in their hands, and the teacher catches and confiscates the drone in the corridor, and some students hold rockets and their launchers in their arms. "Maybe this school isn't like the previous public junior high school, right?" Slade thought to himself. There were many portraits of people on the walls inside the school building, and Slade recognized Howard Stark and Dr. Abraham Erskine, after all, they were displayed every day at the Captain America Memorial, and Slade felt a touch of affection.

Slade put his bag in the locker and was about to go to class. It turned out that next to the Slade locker was the little boy named Peter who he saw when he entered the school gate this morning. Peter also saw Slade, a little embarrassed, but plucked up the courage and held out a hand to Slade and said, "We just met, I'm Peter Parker, nice to meet you." “

With a stiff poker face, Slade took Peter's hand. "Slade Wilson."

Peter was a little happy, thinking that it wouldn't be so hard to meet a new friend.

Peter didn't say a few words to Slade before he went into chattering mode. "Do you like Star Wars? I'm a huge Star Wars fan. I love playing with Legos. I have a collector's edition of the LEGO Millennium Falcon at home, super cool ......" Slade still looked nonchalant.

"Oh, it's my fault, I've been introducing myself all the time. Can I call you Slade? “

Slade nodded.

The two of them walked all the way to the first class, the math classroom. Along the way, Peter beeped wildly, and Slade replied with a few short words at first, and then simply nodded and shook his head in response.

Slade found a seat in the classroom that didn't count the front and the back, and Peter quickly followed, taking a seat next to Slade. Both of them are good at mathematics, physics and chemistry, and they spent the class time relatively easily in the morning.

Slade and Peter walked into the cafeteria together, chose their own set menu, and sat in the corner of the cafeteria. Slade originally thought that Peter was a shy and shy boy, but he didn't expect to turn on the mouth cannon mode when he was familiar with the relationship. While eating, he asked Slade questions.

Slade noticed that Peter glanced at the blindfold covering his right eye from time to time, so he simply took it off and put it back on. Peter couldn't sit still, "Wow! What happened to your eyes? This blindfold is so handsome. Can you borrow it for a few days? “

"Naturally, you don't want to walk around wearing an eye patch." Slade dismissed Peter's thoughts.

Slade and Peter, sitting in the corner, could see all the people eating in the cafeteria. Slade noticed that Peter had been keeping his eyes on a good-looking black girl, so he asked Peter, "Do you like that girl?" “

Peter quickly pretended to be innocent, "What? Who are you talking about? No, I don't like anyone right now. It's true. “

"Then why did you look in her direction more than twenty times in just five minutes?" Slade's further questioning left Peter somewhat overwhelmed.

"No, right? Actually, there is a garbage can in that direction, and I am looking for a place to dispose of the garbage after lunch. That's why I looked in her direction, which girl are you talking about? Isn't it the Latino girl with pimples all over her face. That was my junior high school classmate. Slade, you're not going to like her, are you? I can tell you her name and phone number......" Peter hurriedly changed the topic and realized the rescue of Zhao.

Slade shook his head, too lazy to continue rambling with Peter.

"Can I sit here?" A slightly darker-skinned Asian student walks over to Peter and Slade's table with a plate. "My name is Ned, and I'm in the same class as you."

Slade shrugged, and Peter was very happy to teach his two friends on the first day of school, and greeted him warmly, inviting Ned to sit down. Peter and Ned have a lot in common, what Star Wars, what Lego bricks and stuff like that. Slade was just eating the food on his plate, and he didn't know what the two nerds were talking about.

Ned talked about his high level of computers, especially hacking skills. This caught Slade's attention, "Oh? Then you can check something for me then. Slade was a little happy and made a hacker friend, hoping to unravel the clue left by Uncle Li "Territorial Strategic Defense Attack and Logistics Support Bureau". But what if such an organization finds itself investigating? "Whatever the hell," thought Ned, "it's not a bad thing that either I'll go to them or they'll come to the door." ”

At this time, a commotion came from the entrance of the cafeteria......
