Chapter 62: Parker
"So...... How long are you going to fight that fork? Raven took a moment to catch up on her dinner as he glanced at Eric across the table. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Eric had been pondering since he sat down, unconsciously fiddling with the fork in his hand, and was not in a good mood.
"Still thinking about basketball? You've done a good job. Raven "comforted", and then added intentionally or unintentionally, "Although I lost." ”
Well, she definitely did it on purpose. Eric was tempted to defend himself - what was the solution? The one on the other side is Spider-Man, his arm strength is at least twenty tons to go up, and his reflex nerves can even dodge bullets, this kind of guy is a foul at all when he comes to play, right?
Raven continued to eat his dinner with his head down, but the corners of his mouth seemed to smile casually. She didn't say it, but she actually preferred to see Eric's reaction when he lost, like a child who lost a toy.
The two settled dinner in the cafeteria across the school from the school, and when they came out, a group of people were gathering in a circle, as if they were making some fun.
Eric wasn't usually interested in joining in the fun, until he noticed the show's protagonist, Peter Parker, who had beaten him on the pitch not long ago.
"Who do you think you are, Parker!?" A tall, burly blonde boy grabbed Parker's collar and yelled, "Basketball, huh?" Just you nerd? ”
"Yes, Thompson." Parker's figure was a pitifully small in front of him, but he didn't show weakness, "The coach asked me if I wanted to join the basketball team because I heard that an idiot on the team was injured and couldn't play. ”
Vlash Thompson, the star of the basketball team, but recently suffered a hand injury in a fight with someone and couldn't play, so the coach desperately needed someone to take his place. Personally, Thompson is Parker's nemesis, as he likes to use this nerd as a punching bag.
"Maybe I won't be able to play for a while, but that won't be your turn, Weak Chicken Parker! It won't affect me to beat you up! ”
He wasn't kidding, and Thompson swung a straight punch out and slammed it into Parker's face.
Peter Parker, who is Spider-Man, has superb reflexes and dynamic vision, and theoretically has countless moments to react and avoid the punch.
But he didn't.
The fist landed firmly in Parker's face, as it had done every time before.
Eric knew what Parker was thinking. He fears that his identity will be revealed, that someone will find out that he is Spider-Man, and that any obvious change in his life will lead someone to wonder how a nerd can change drastically overnight.
But Eric has always felt that he is thinking too much, and that superpowers really shouldn't be abused, but it's definitely not too much to earn enough sports credits for himself or make sure he doesn't get beaten up by bullies.
Of course, that was his own choice, and it wasn't Eric's business. Besides, he was sure that a few punches from a high school student wouldn't hurt Spider-Man, and it wasn't a big deal.
He was about to turn to leave, when Raven casually asked, "Uh, shouldn't you...... To stop that guy or something? ”
Eric paused and said, "Didn't I say I don't like to meddle in things?" ”
"You said that, but you're also in charge of all the gossip I've had since I met you."
The face is expressionless but extremely sharp, worthy of the raven queen, and her mouth is really as sharp as rumored.
"Okay, okay." Eric sighed, "It's not a big hassle anyway......"
As he spoke, Thompson had already knocked Parker to the ground with one punch, followed by another fist that fell sharply, with a bandage on the back of his hand.
Parker didn't dodge, but the punch didn't land.
Thompson's fist was firmly gripped around his wrist, as if it were caught in a pair of pliers.
"Hey." Eric said, "It's about the same." ”
Thompson glared at Eric, "Who are you?" ”
"This kid's ......" Eric glanced at Parker, "Golfer, sort of, just met." ”
"Don't get in my way." Thompson said in a low voice, "I'm in a bad mood right now. ”
"What a coincidence." Eric shrugged, "I'm not in a good mood either. ”
Thompson gritted his teeth and threw another punch at Eric without saying a word. But Eric's body only moved slightly, and his palm slapped his fist seemingly casually, and Thompson was immediately staggered by his own strength and nearly fell.
Thompson turned his head in surprise, still angry, but reason stopped him from striking again. All the parts of his simple brain were sending him a message that this guy couldn't win.
He glared at Eric for a few seconds.
"Hush." Thompson spat indignantly, "You're in luck, Parker, it's not over yet!" ”
He turned around and pushed away the crowd and walked away quickly.
The farce ended, and the crowd gradually dispersed. Parker touched his cheek, which had just been beaten, and stood up, "Thank you." ”
"Honestly, you should thank her." Eric glanced at Raven, who was watching the play with his hands around the whole time.
"Peter!"
A blonde girl scurried out of the school gate against the crowd, ignoring the others and running straight to Parker.
"I heard Thompson did it to you again? I warned him about ......"
"Yes...... It's okay, Gwen, I'm fine. Parker smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern." ”
Gwen?
Eric took a serious look at the girl.
With smooth blonde hair, wearing a black hairpin, and fair skin like snow, it can be said that it combines innocence and charm, and is the first choice for any boy to choose a female ticket.
Gwen Stacy, Spider-Man's girlfriend in the original film...... One.
Eric raised his eyebrows: "Okay, boy, there is such a beautiful female ticket?" ”
"What? No, no, Gwen, she's not ......" Parker waved his hand a little scrambledly, "...... She's just my friend. ”
Eric noticed the obvious loss on Gwen's face as he said this.
Sure enough, it was the same wood as the legend. Eric thought to himself. But speaking of which, I really envy this kid's womanhood......
But Gwen didn't give up, plucked up the courage and said, "That...... Today's geometry homework looks a bit difficult, so I thought maybe we could find a time......"
"Ah, tonight! I've got something to do tonight! Peter slapped his head, "Mary Jane and I are going to the underground mall, and I was delayed from playing ball in the afternoon, so I ......"
"Oh! That...... That's good. Gwen said in dismay.
"I'm so sorry...... Why don't you come along, I know there's a great sandwich shop there. He said, turning to Eric and Raven, "Why don't you join us, thank you for your help." ”
The corners of Eric's mouth twitched.
If I didn't know that this kid really had low emotional intelligence, I really couldn't help but want to beat him......
But maybe it's not a bad idea.
He turned his gaze to Raven, who twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, and the words reluctance were clearly written on his face.
