Chapter 3: Seventeen Years Old Afraid

Clark suddenly confided in his long-suppressed heart, and the couple didn't know what to say to comfort them for a while.

"Son......

This topic has been in this family for a long time, and they hope that their son can hide himself, and they don't want someone from the government to suddenly come to the door and take their son away.

But adolescent students crave attention on campus, and they who have come from this stage understand this feeling.

"I'm done eating, let's go first."

The atmosphere at the dinner table was dull, and David was not very interested in the topic of the same old tune at home, so he moved his ears slightly to look out the window, and as if nothing happened, he got up and took his schoolbag and left.

"From Clark +9 agitation, +7 ...... low"

I have gained a lot of emotional points from 'dear brother'.

Laugh at!

David had just strolled out of the farm.

Not badly, the school bus stopped in front of him in time.

"Hi, David."

Boarding the school bus, the men and women on the school bus, laughing and talking, their faces were full of youth and vitality belonging to high school students, and several people greeted David.

Nodding in response, he found a back seat and sat down.

David tilted his head and leisurely looked out the window.

The sky is as blue as a wash, the white clouds are like cotton balls fluttering slowly, and the green grass stretches as far as the eye can see, extending to the dense woods in the distance, making people feel peaceful.

The only advantage of this small rural town in Kansas called Smallville may be that most of the natural scenery has been preserved and the air is clean because of its remoteness.

The school bus makes a short stop and starts again.

"What about Clark? David. On the other side of the seat, a crisp and lively girl's voice came, slightly puzzled.

Although the two brothers don't get tired of being together all day, neither of them goes to school in the morning.

"In the back." You don't have to look back to know who it is, David said casually.

Chloe, with short blond hair, a white face, always squints her eyes unconsciously when she smiles, shows her tiger teeth, has a hint of cuteness in her eccentricity, likes to explore and dig out all kinds of weird and interesting things, and is a reporter and editor-in-chief of the school newspaper.

She sat in her seat and looked out at the Kent family's farm, wondering what was going on.

"It's not unusual for high school students in adolescence to have a daily bickering with their parents.

You won't be interested. David's tone was tedious.

"Here we go again, don't keep you acting like an adult, David."

Hearing this, Pete, a black man who was sitting next to Chloe, who was slightly shorter and looked a little funny, threw a smile with a familiar look.

"It's going to make you look like you're out of place, and the girls don't like this one."

On campus, the Kent brothers are notoriously disliked by all kinds of activities, and Clark is shown to be tall but shy and shy, not good at words, like an honest scalper.

In the impression of others, David likes to be quiet and alone, does not like to interact with people, and his personality is slightly withdrawn mixed with a hint of mystery.

"Looks like Clark won't be able to catch the school bus today."

Chloe turned her head and quipped.

"If you weren't born on a farm, the school said that you were a vampire born in the Renaissance era and usually stayed alone in an ancient castle."

David and Chloe knew each other well, mainly because they were one of Clark's few good friends, and they knew each other back and forth.

Looking out the window, David was noncommittal.

Relived once, even if the body is affected by various hormones, there are some mentalities in adolescence, but it is definitely different from the adolescent impulsive teenager.

For example, his Kryptonian brother Clark.

"Kryptonians also have puberty."

With a sigh in his heart, David looked at the front seat of the school bus, a pair of men and women in love who were talking and laughing ambiguously.

Lana Blue, with smooth black hair, a slightly upturned nose, and a beautiful appearance, is the captain of the school cheerleading team, although she is not the kind of hot outgoing type, and is liked and secretly loved by many men in school.

And her handsome blonde boyfriend-

"It's really not surprising that the captain of the football team and the cheerleader of the school are in love."

He complained in his heart.

"Seriously, if Clarke, who is shy to talk to girls, can pry Lana out of Whitney's hand.

The headline of the next issue of my torch newspaper is here. ”

Seeing David's gaze, Chloe snickered, "But we all know it's impossible." ”

A crush on someone is generally impossible to hide, and Clark has a crush on Lana, as a friend by his side, she and Pete see this even though they don't talk about it.

After all, a boy often wanders to look at a certain girl regardless of whether he is in or out of class, and he is so nervous and at a loss as soon as he talks to the other party, what else can it be.

As a family that has grown up together for more than a decade, if Clark truly loves rugby, David will support him.

"It's a pity that young Superman gets carried away by hormones."

Clark wants to join football and play glass collision, mainly because Lana's boyfriend Whitney is the captain of the football team.

"I want to do the same, make a big splash on the rugby field, and win the attention and attention of my crush."

It's really green......

David shook his head secretly.

"Looks like if nothing else, Clark's plan to join the football team has come to naught, right?"

Putting away the snickering at Clark's pathetic crush, Pete, who had become serious, glanced around, and he leaned over to ask in a low voice.

"David, what about you?"

"I said a long time ago that I don't plan to join the rugby team."

He had no interest in carefully controlling his power and playing with the rugby players at school who were generally rude and arrogant like gorillas.

"But that's the only way." Pete's eyes lit up with fear.

"What's the solution?" Chloe wondered, "Pete, why are you suddenly speaking in such a low voice?" ”

It's like being a thief, and you're hiding from something in fear.

"What are you talking about?"

"You don't know you're a girl, Chloe."

Glancing at the scrambled rugby players sitting in front of him, as if fearing that they might turn around at any moment, Pete swallowed nervously.

"We want to avoid being unlucky scarecrows."

"Scarecrow?"

"It's a tradition for school football teams, where before the big game starts, the team paints a man with Smallville's on his chest and hangs him up like a scarecrow."

David explained with a smile.

It's like some kind of morale-boosting ritual before the army goes on a campaign.

A group of young, bold and unscrupulous guys.

"It seems that I still underestimate the savagery of the rugby players." Chloe frowned, her expression indescribable.

"That's why Clark and I want to join the varsity team, even if we guard the clothes and hand out water, they won't fix our own people." Pete, a slightly diminutive black man, said.

He cast a reminding and persuasive look at David.

"You can still laugh, David.

If Clark doesn't make it, it's likely that the subject this time will be one of your brothers. ”

This is not nonsense to scare.

This is the case on campus in the United States, where students who excel in sports are the focus of the campus and nerds who are good at learning are still nerds, but they will be bullied first.

A pair of farm-born, high-achieving 'nerd' brothers who have made a name for themselves on campus.

"You know that.

Clarke's business, maybe Whitney will take you, Clark's brother. ”

"Stupid Clark."

Speaking of this, David secretly rolled his eyes.

Clark thinks that his crush on Lana is well hidden, and everyone who actually has some contact with the two can see this, including Lana's boyfriend.

Although the young Superman is considered wooden, shy and unverbal to outsiders, he is the least popular among the boys, but he is tall and handsome, and he is still threatening.

"Especially this Lana, even if she has a boyfriend, her attitude towards Clark is faintly different from that of others."

There is a risk of turning green on his head, and it is difficult for Whitney, who is used to being a star on campus, not to be jealous.

Here, Pete lowered his voice and persuaded David to join the football team.

Whitney, who was chatting with his girlfriend, didn't know if it was a coincidence, or if he vaguely heard his name.

He laughed as he glanced behind him, paused on David, unabashedly cold in his eyes, and turned back.

"Are you really looking for me?"

Seeing this scene, David raised his eyebrows and was stunned.

Is he going to start being scared now?

"Seventeen years old, I'm Thanos physique, and I'm afraid of classmate violence?"
