On the huge scoreboard hanging directly above the center of the stadium, the countdown representing the remaining time of the game reaches zero, and the game is over! The Beavers picked up their first Patton High School Football League victory of the year! Cheers rushed out of the stands again, mixed with various confetti, hats, slogans... and rushed to the victorious team on the field!
But amidst all this jubilation, there was a discordant voice, which came from Rept High School’s own phalanx.
"That's not fair!"
While everyone was cheering for victory, Laura was not happy. From the beginning to the end of the game, she was probably the only one paying attention to the outside of the right wing. "It must be Connor, this annoying guy, he always targets Kyle!" The girl leaned against the guardrail and looked at that The quarterback, who was being hugged and thrown up by the players, was angry.
Alice didn't know how to comfort her new friend. Could it be: "Laura, don't be angry, that annoying guy is dead!" '
The banshee looked at Zach for help, while the vampire was touching his chin, looking thoughtful. After watching the entire game, they didn't find anything different about the guy named Connor.
"Forget it!" Laura crumpled the popcorn paper bag into a ball and vented her anger: "By the way, Alice, do you want to go to the players' lounge? I can take you there."
"Is that okay? Thank you so much!" Zach put on a smile and agreed before the banshee refused.
Laura felt better, packed up her things, and ran ahead with Alice looking distressed again, and Benjamin finally had a chance to discuss 'Connor' with Zach.
"Benjamin! And Alice's other brother (Zach), follow up!" Laura did not forget to turn her head and smile at the werewolf...
Laura's name has clearly made something clear. This time, it was originally just a 'social practice' for Alice, but it successfully made Alice a friend and gave the werewolf an admirer. Throughout the game, Laura's topics were divided evenly into three parts: Alice, Benjamin, and Kyle. But looking at Benjamin’s bitter face, he didn’t seem very excited…
Zach chuckled and patted Benjamin on the back, then followed Laura.
Outsiders are not allowed to enter the players' lounge, and even family members are waiting outside. But the smart Laura showed her last name - Barton, and the security guards didn't make it too difficult for them and let them go.
Laura looked outside the door for a moment, making sure that everyone inside was wearing clothes, and then led the three people in.
"Kyle!" Laura excitedly rushed to her brother and gave him a big hug, but in less than a second, the girl pushed her brother away with a look of disgust on her face, "Uh~ You are covered in Sweat! You really stink!"
Zach is very happy that Alice can meet Laura. This is simply a textbook example of a sixteen-year-old girl! Zack hopes that Alice can learn from this girl's fickleness...
Kyle had a sullen face, and he seemed to have nothing to do with his sister, "Did you expect this place to be fragrant? Why are you here?"
"I think you need comfort, Mr. Right Field~" Laura looked at her brother jokingly, as if the girl who had fought for him before was not her! These are definitely brothers and sisters!
Kyle's face became even more gloomy, and he ignored his proud sister. He grabbed a passing team member and said, "Tell the coach that I'm leaving first."
"Oh." The other party agreed.
Laura was a little anxious, and held down Kyle's hand that was packing things: "Why do you have to leave so early? There will be interviews and a celebration party later!"
Kyle pushed his sister's hand away: "I don't feel good, I have to go back first. That's it." Kyle zipped up his backpack, stood up and was about to leave. He was a man whose words and deeds were unusually consistent!
"Wait!" Laura frowned. She seemed to be unable to figure out what her brother was thinking. "At least let me introduce my new friend first!"
Only then did Kyle notice the three people standing nearby, and looked at his sister in confusion: "Who are they?"
"This is Alice! They are Alice's brothers." Laura took the opportunity to stand next to Benjamin and winked at her brother desperately: "This is Benjamin." Of course, Laura missed Zach, which is not surprising. Zach suspected that this girl didn't remember his name at all!
Obviously Kyle did not understand his sister's intention, but looked at Zach with some confusion.
Zach smiled and took out his sunglasses and put them on: "Don't forget to fasten your seat belt."
Kyle remembered that this was the person who reminded him of traffic safety on the road. But Kyle obviously thought of something else. His body trembled involuntarily, he took a step back, said nothing, and rushed out of the lounge with his head lowered.
"Kyle!" Laura looked at her running brother angrily, "What happened to this guy today?"
Kyle's departure made Laura not know what to do. She looked around and saw that the excited guys were chatting with each other and had no intention of paying attention to her.
"Laura. Where is Kyle?"
"He just left..." Laura replied subconsciously, turned around and saw the person who asked the question, it was 'Connor'. Laura’s face turned cold: “None of your business!”
'Connor''s expression didn't change much, "I have something to say to him, but he keeps avoiding me."
"But he! He has nothing to do with you!" Laura has turned back into the sister who was aggrieved for her brother. "Me! I have nothing to do with you!" Laura grabbed the trembling Alice: "Let's go! "
This was the first time that Alice took the initiative to cooperate with Laura's actions, and the two girls rushed out of the lounge in the blink of an eye.
Zach's eyes shifted from 'Connor' and looked at Benjamin with a frown, and Benjamin also frowned. The two could no longer communicate because—
"Benjamin! Alice's other brother! Follow!" Laura shouted...
Laura made a mistake. When she went to the lounge to see Kyle, she missed the school bus. Then after Kyle inexplicably left first, she lost her means of transportation home!
"I think Benjamin would be happy to send you back." Zach chuckled and patted the helpless werewolf.
"Really?" Laura looked at Benjamin: "Thank you Benjamin!"
Just like that, the granddaughter of the founder of Barton City got into Benjamin's dilapidated, mud-covered truck.
"Lola." Zach took off his sunglasses and looked at the girl sitting with Alice in the back seat: "Now, it will take time to get to your house, why don't you tell us about the captain of the Beavers, Kang Na, what kind of person is he?"
There were only two reds left in Laura's field of vision. Her eyes were confused for a moment, but they immediately became clear. She didn't know why, but she suddenly wanted to gossip about that annoying scumbag!
"Captain? Huh! That guy doesn't deserve to be a captain! Alice, I'm telling you, you must not look at how good-looking he is..."
Zach put on his sunglasses again and signaled to the grimacing Alice: 'Study hard~'
In Laura's imaginative narration, the vampires and werewolves listened carefully to this standard high school gossip. They were judging and judging what 'Connor' was who was still functioning normally.
In this world, there are not many things that can still walk in the world after death, well, not many. Vampires, ghouls, zombies... Zach doesn't want Alice's first friend to live in danger, so he wants to make sure that this Connor is not a threat to Laura.
Perhaps Zach also has some selfish motives. Laura is the granddaughter of the Barton family, and the vampire does not want the family of the city's founder to be unpreparedly exposed to other alien races. Because Barton City is not a place where other aliens can have fun, but Zach’s backyard, the backyard of the Grand House!
Zach thought of the old lady who suddenly spoke to him and Benjamin at Mrs. Quinn's funeral. After the funeral, Zach dug out newspapers from decades ago and found the old lady's name - Selina Barton.
Perhaps Mrs. Barton would not have thought that they would meet again so soon.
