But seeing Luke surrounded by girls, Mindy inexplicably felt like she was at a disadvantage.
With a "cousin" like this, she would rather beat up those three bitches than let him achieve his goals by selling his "male beauty".
After chatting for a few minutes, even the cheerleaders who had entered the basketball court earlier could not resist the herd mentality and gathered around one after another.
At this time, someone greeted Luke: "Hey, Luke, you're here so early? It seems like you're having a great time."
Luke stopped chatting, looked at the newcomers, and walked over with a smile: "Hi, Nikki, Monica, long time no see. It makes me even happier to see you."
He took turns half-hugging and kissing the two girls who had just arrived, performing a relatively formal greeting.
The group of cheerleaders who had appeared before all looked surprised, including Mindy.
Except for Luke, all the others present were middle school students.
Middle school students rarely perform this kind of greeting when they meet each other in daily life, especially between boys and girls.
But Luke and the two girls did this now, which only proved that the relationship between them was more of a formal acquaintance, rather than just a nodding acquaintance.
Then, he pulled Mindy, who had been stunned for a while, over and said, "My cousin, you two should have known each other for a while."
Nikki and Monica immediately pulled the little Mindy over and started laughing and saying things like, "You hid your cousin so well."
Mindy was confused: I just found out today that I have a "cousin", blame me!
Luke took this opportunity to apologize to the other girls with a smile, then took Mindy, Nikki, and Monica to a big tree in the distance.
Only then did Monica nudge Luke with her elbow: "It's a good thing you called yesterday, but are you sure you want us to tell you straight? You know, the truth is always very devastating."
Luke chuckled, "It's okay, Mindy is my cousin, she won't be so easily shocked."
Mindy continued to be confused: Monica is so familiar with Luke? Aren't they just friends who share two hamburgers
Nikki nodded and said, "Last night Monica told me that your cousin was involved with those bitches, and we knew it was not good. Brooke and the other two love to bully newcomers, unless they are obedient followers and flatter them."
At this point, she turned her head and looked at Mindy: "They asked you to attend the party in two days, right? The boy who invited you is Simon, right?"
Mindy nodded dumbly.
Monica sighed and continued, "Simon is Brooke's regular "playmate" and often helps her deal with some unpleasant freshmen. If they instigated you to go to this party, there would only be humiliation waiting for you there."
Seeing that Mindy didn't react, she turned to look at Luke: "Did we say it too bluntly?"
Luke shrugged, "It's okay. It's better than her excitedly attending a party with a boy and getting slapped in the face by a bunch of people."
Monica said, "Of course, they won't do that now. We have Mindy covered. They are just useless people who rely on their numbers to bully the newbies. They don't dare to mess with us."
Luke asked with interest: "Your people?" and glanced at Nikki beside him.
Nikki subconsciously explained: "It's not a bad group. Monica and I still set up a women's self-defense club."
Luke nodded and patted Mindy's head: "Are you interested in joining another club? Girls must learn to protect themselves when they are out there."
Mindy hesitated for a moment, but still nodded: "Okay, I'll join."
Monica smiled and hugged her: "Don't worry, our club is more free, just to let girls learn some basic self-defense methods, not mandatory to participate in activities."
Luke looked at his watch and said, "The cheerleading team's practice is about to start. You guys should go first. After practice, how about we go have lunch together?"
The three girls had no objection and walked into the indoor basketball court with a smile, but the smile on Mindy's little face was a little silly.
Luke didn't leave either. He just sat in the car, writing and drawing on his phone.
For him, he can work overtime at any time.
From collecting intelligence, to designing new armor blueprints, to making various long-term and short-term plans, and even making some small inventions for Ginny's future development, all the fragmented time can be utilized and not wasted.
But when it was close to eleven o'clock, many boys who came to pick up their girlfriends gathered around the car, and the more extroverted ones had already started to chat with me.
The boys' preferences were normal, and the only thing they were really interested in was the Kit that Luke was sitting in.
Therefore, when the boys' real target, the cheerleaders, finished training and came out, they saw a similar scene as in the morning, except that the onlookers became boys.
Seven or eight boys were surrounding Luke's car and commenting on it. Luke wasn't very enthusiastic, but he wasn't aloof either. He occasionally answered some of their questions.
Fortunately, the boys themselves could argue over some minor modifications to the car, so he didn't have to spend too much energy dealing with them.
A moment later, Luke pulled his "cousin" and disappeared in front of a group of boys and girls.
Brooke's big wavy blonde hair looks pretty ugly.
She is not an idiot. Luke called those two crazy women, Nikki and Molika, to come here, which was clearly a threat to her.
Moreover, his attitude towards Brooke was obviously different from that of others. He either pretended not to hear anything or just laughed it off, and his perfunctory attitude was evident in his words.
Obviously, she wanted to make trouble for Mindy, and her cousin knew about it. He came today to support that little troublemaker.
She couldn't afford to offend Nikki and Monica, but she was not afraid of the boys here.
Hearing them still discussing the car, she showed disdain: "Humph, isn't it just a discontinued car? It's not a Ferrari or Lamborghini. How old is he to buy such an old car? He has no taste at all."
After all, boys are a little dumber than girls.
A boy who was very engaged in the discussion just now subconsciously mocked: "A broken car? Those Ferraris and Lamborghinis you are talking about are shit. That's KITI. Hasn't he seen Knight Rider?"
Brooke was totally confused by this statement and retorted without hesitation: "Isn't it just a crappy toy for you otakus? How old is he? Why doesn't he buy a Transformers toy to play with at home?"
The boy's face flushed. "You idiot girl! That's the prototype car of the TV series Knight Rider, and it's been modified. If you only count the modified parts, you can at least buy an ordinary Lamborghini. Besides, you can't find a skilled person to help you modify the car without some connections. Don't think you have some money at home. Even if you spend $200,000, no one will be willing to help you modify a car like this."
The boys all nodded in agreement, obviously agreeing with this view.
If they stood with Brooke, wouldn't it prove that their behavior of coveting the Kit was stupid and tasteless
