Outside Fenway Park, in the parking lot, spectators who got off their cars continued to walk towards the entrance, and the popcorn vendor pushing a pushcart happily walked through the crowd. The smart vendor parked the cart where the students gathered, placed a jar in front of the popcorn, and held up a sign saying 'Dole = a bag of delicious popcorn, choose your own flavor! '
The peddler expects his jar to be filled soon. However, we know that high school students are a magical species, and they fundamentally reject the meaning of 'marking' existence.
"Hey! Where did you get the popcorn?"
"Over there, it's free."
"real?"
"Of course! Look, no one is guarding there."
"Great! Wait for me and I'll get a bag too!"
Why is there no one guarding the cart? Because the dealer went after the first naughty kid who didn't pay. This is a sad story.
On the other side of the parking lot, Benjamin's truck stood out among a row of clean cars.
"Alice, it'll be okay, it's just a ball game." Benjamin held the door of the back seat to persuade the banshee who refused to get out of the car.
Alice shook her head, holding her shoulders and moving further inside. Benjamin shrugged at Zach and made an 'I told you so' look.
Zach extended his right hand to Alice: "Alice, at least try it once. If you don't like it, we'll leave right away."
Alice's eyelashes trembled and she looked hesitantly at the crowd outside the car window. She finally gave up and got out of the car with Benjamin's help. The two men breathed a sigh of relief and escorted Alice towards the entrance of the stadium.
"Do you want to eat popcorn? There seems to be free ones there." Benjamin used his height advantage to see the cart surrounded by students and asked Alice.
"Free?" Zach took off his sunglasses and raised his eyebrows, "Of course!"
This was an experimental trip because Zach heard what Mrs. Quinn said about Alice. Being able to see the death scenes of others is Alice's gift and the source of her fear. The end result is that Alice is afraid of contact with people.
Zach wanted Alice to overcome this fear, but he couldn't just violently throw the banshee on the street and force her to adapt. So now with the 'Barton High School Football League' going on in the spring, it seemed like a good opportunity. If Alice is in school and in high school, she should be exposed to things that ordinary teenagers should do at this age.
The three people who blended into the student team attracted a lot of people's attention. Especially girls. The skins of vampires and werewolves, the more dangerous species often have the most attractive appearance, and this appearance satisfies girls' most extreme fantasies about men in both directions...
However, they were obviously not students, but ordinary spectators who came to watch the game. Therefore, the smart girl who wanted to strike up a conversation and needed to create opportunities would naturally focus on the timid girl who was protected by them in the middle.
"Hey! You, I haven't seen you before. Are you also a student of Repute High School?" A golden girl who looked to be the same age as Alice pushed aside the crowd and walked up to the three of them. She looked at them with a smile and was a little scared. Alice.
Alice became nervous, subconsciously grabbed the two people beside her, and shook her head.
"I'm sorry! It's my fault! I saw that we are the same age, so I thought we were classmates!" The girl realized that her conversation made the other person feel uncomfortable, so she smiled and apologized, but still persisted and continued to ask: "What about you? Are you here to watch the game? Which team do you support?"
Zach and Benjamin put their hands on the banshee's back, comforting and encouraging her. Conversation is the first step in contact with people.
"The Beavers." Alice said. In fact, before today, Alice didn't know what the Beavers were at all. She only said this because Zach liked Repert High School. The girl in front of her seemed to be a very friendly person, and Alice tried to calm herself down.
"Really?!" The girl seemed very happy. She opened the front of her coat and revealed the logo on the cheerleading uniform inside, which was a cartoon beaver: "Me too! I am from Reiput High School! What about you?"
Alice hesitated, looked at the two people beside her, and replied: "I don't go to school. I study at home. It's family education."
"Cool!" The girl seemed very happy: "I have never known anyone who received home education. You don't need to see those long-winded teachers every day. It's great!" The girl's eyes quietly glanced at Benjamin. We now know that she What is the reason for my persistence
"My name is Laura, are these two your 'teachers'?"
Alice glanced at the two of them uneasily. The girl's enthusiasm was hard to refuse, "My name is Alice. They are my brothers, Zach and Benjamin."
"Alice! What a beautiful name!" The girl named Laura blinked. Alice means noble and beautiful. It was obvious that she really liked the name. She temporarily put her attention away from Benjamin and continued to ask Alice: "Where is your seat? My brother is a player and I have a front row seat. You can come with us." sit!"
"No, no need, I'll just sit with my brothers." Alice refused nervously. The banshee didn't want to be too far away from Zach and Benjamin.
"This is easy to handle!" Laura smiled and no longer cared about Alice's rejection. She reached out to grab Alice's hand and walked forward without forgetting to look back: "Hey! Brothers! Follow me!"
Zach and Benjamin followed with smiles. It seemed that they were lucky. It was the first time that Alice came into contact with people of her own age and she met a nice girl.
Laura was a very efficient girl. She held her fists in her hands and leaned under her chin. Her beautiful blue eyes looked pleading, and her lips painted with cherry-colored lip gloss were slightly pursed. In less than half a minute, she 'convinced' the three boys and exchanged seats with Alice.
The game hasn't started yet, but now the cheerleaders of the two teams are performing on the field. With the encouragement of the two 'brothers', Alice is trying to find a topic.
"Lola, aren't you a cheerleader? Why didn't you perform on stage?"
"Well, I am!" Laura looked at the performance of the cheerleading team and seemed to complain: "But I am a junior and a newcomer, and I am not qualified to perform yet."
It is true that hierarchy accompanies one's life.
Laura's disappointed look flashed away, and she immediately changed her tone: "But it's so cold now! I don't want to go either!" Teenagers always like to say things they don't mean.
"Oh." Alice, who lacked communication experience, didn't know how to answer the question, so she responded and fell silent.
"Look, look!" After the performance, the players entered the room, and Laura became excited! Pulling Alice beside him to stand up, he lay on the guardrail of the stands and pointed at the players who were walking to the center of the field and waving to the audience in the stands: "Look! My brother!"
All the students around him stood up, "Beaver! Beaver!..." A huge sound poured from the stands to the stadium. Of course, on the other side of the stands, the same sound came rolling in, "Goat! Goat!..."
The students who were just here to show off the protagonists on the field were aroused with a sense of collective honor and howled at the top of their lungs. No one cared about the referee in the center of the field, and the game just started in the stands...
"Lola, Laura." Alice trembled and pulled the excited girl beside her: "Who is the first person?"
"What?!" Laura put her ear to Alice and asked loudly, "What are you?"
Alice repeated, her nervousness already attracting the attention of the vampire and werewolf.
"Oh!" Laura heard the question clearly, "It's Connor! He's the captain! Do you like him? Don't like him! He's not a good guy!"
Obviously, this high school girl was mistaken and kindly reminded her new friend not to be interested in the scumbag. After all, this is what sixteen-year-old girls should care about. However, Alice is not an ordinary sixteen-year-old girl, she is a banshee who can see 'death'.
Alice nervously looked at her two 'brothers' who were paying attention to her, and said in a voice that even she herself did not hear in such an environment: "Connor, he has already died once."
