Chapter 36: Chapter 2 Free Popcorn
Translator: Doggotranslation Editor: Doggotranslation
Outside the [Fenway Stadium], in the parking lot, the spectators who got off their cars successively walked toward the entrance, and a stadium vendor pushed his popcorn trolley and walked happily through the crowd. The vendor thought that he was very smart by stopping the trolley at the place where the students gathered, and putting out a jar and a label that said “3 Dor/bag of delicious popcorn!” in front of the popcorn.
The vendor thought that his jar would be filled soon. However, we know that “high school students” is a magical species, and they fundamentally reject the existence of ‘signs and labels’.
“Hey! Where did you get the popcorn?”
“Over there, it’s free.”
“Really?”
“Of course! You see, no one is there.”
“Awesome! Wait for me, I will get a bag too!”
Why was there no one guarding the trolley? Because the vendor went to chase the first bratty child who did not give money.
This was a sad story.
On the other side of the parking lot, Benjamin’s truck was prominent in a row of clean cars.
“Alice, it’s okay, it’s just a ball game.” Benjamin held the back door, persuading the banshee who refused to get off.
Alice shook her head, hugged herself, and moved even deeper inside. Benjamin shrugged at Zach and made an expression of “I told you”.
Zach extended his right hand to Alice: “Alice, try at least once. If you don’t like it, we will leave immediately.”
Alice’s eyelashes were shaking, hesitantly looking at the crowd outside the car window, and finally nodded, and got out of the car with Benjamin’s help. The two men were relieved and walked towards the entrance of the stadium with Alice.
“Do you want to eat popcorn? There seems to be free popcorn.” With a height advantage, Benjamin saw the small trolley surrounded by a group of students and asked Alice.
“Free?” Zach took off his sunglasses and raised his eyebrows, “Of course!”
This was an experimental trip. Because Zach listened to what Mrs. Quinn said about Alice. Being able to see the dying scenes of others was Alice’s talent and her source of fear. The end result was that Alice was afraid of interacting with other people.
Zach wanted Alice to overcome this fear, but he could not directly and violently throw the banshee out on the street and force her to adapt. So the ‘Barton High School Rugby League’ that was going on in the spring seems to be a good opportunity. If Alice could go to school, she would also be in high school. So she should be exposed to what ordinary teenagers should do at this age.
With three people approaching the student group, it attracted many people’s attention. Especially girls. It was the appearance of the vampire and the werewolf. The more dangerous species often had the most attractive appearance, and this appearance satisfied the girls’ wildest fantasies about men in both directions…
But they were obviously not students, but ordinary spectators, who were going to watch the game, so the smart girls, who wanted to strike up a conversation with them and needed to create opportunities, would naturally turn their attention to the timid girl who was guarded by them.
“Hey! You, I haven’t seen you before, are you also a student of Raiput High School?” A blonde girl of the same age as Alice cut through the crowd and walked in front of the three, smiling and looking at Alice, who was scared.
Alice was nervous, and subconsciously grabbed the two people beside her, shaking her head.
“I am sorry! It is my fault! I thought we were the same age, and you were my schoolmates!” The girl realized that her conversation made the other party uncomfortable and smiled and apologized, but she continued and asked, “So are you here to watch the game? Which team do you support?”
Zach and Benjamin put their hands on the back of the banshee, soothing and encouraging her. Conversation was the first step to interact with people.
“Beavers.” Alice said quietly. In fact, before today, Alice didn’t know what the Beavers were. She would say that only because Zach liked Raiput 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, flipping the front of her jacket to reveal the logo on the cheerleading uniform, which was a cartoon image of a little beaver: “Me too! I am from Raiput High School! What about you?”
Alice hesitated, looking at the two people beside her, and said quietly: “I don’t go to school, I study at home, it’s family education.”
“Cool!” The girl seemed very happy: “I never knew anyone who received family education, you don’t need to see those long-winded teachers every day, that’s so nice!” The girl’s eyes quietly glanced at Benjamin and said. We now know why she wanted to talk to her.
“My name is Lola, are these two your teachers?”
Alice looked at the two uneasily again, but the girl was so friendly that it was very hard to refuse answering her questions, “my name is Alice. They are my brother, Zach and Benjamin.”
“Alice! What a beautiful name!” The girl named Lola blinked. Alice means noble and beautiful. It can be seen that she really liked the name. She temporarily shifted her attention away from Benjamin and continued to ask Alice: “Where is your seat? My elder brother is a player, I have the front seat, you can sit with us!”
“No, no need, I will 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!” Lola smiled, ignoring Alice’s refusal, reached out to grab Alice’s hand, walked forward, and did not forget to look back: “Hey! Brothers! Keep up! ”
Zach and Benjamin followed with a smile, and it seemed that they were lucky that they met a nice girl.
Lola is a very efficient girl. She clasped her hands and placed them under her chin, with her beautiful blue eyes assumed a pleading look, and her lips with cherry lip gloss pouted softly. In less than half a minute, she “persuaded” three boys to change seats with Alice and her two elder brothers.
The game has not started yet. Now the cheerleaders of the two teams were performing on the field. Alice, encouraged by the two ‘brothers’, tried to find a topic.
“Lola, are you not a cheerleader? Why didn’t you perform on the field? ”
“Yes, I am!” Lola looked at the cheerleading performance on the field and seemed to want to complain a little: “But I am a junior, still a newcomer, and I am not yet qualified to perform.”
Ranks always accompanied by people’s lives, this is true.
Lola’s disappointed look flashed on her face, and she immediately changed her tone: “However, it is so cold now! I don’t want to go either!” Alas, teenagers, they always like to be insincere.
“Oh.” Alice, who lacked experience in communication, didn’t know how to carry on, and then silenced after responding.
“Look, look!” The show ended, the players entered the field, and Lola became excited! Alice stood beside her and stood behind the guardrail in the stand, pointing to the players who were walking towards the center and waving to the audience in the stand, “Look! That’s my elder brother!”
All the students around her stood up, “BEAVER! BEAVER!…” The huge sound wave dumped from the stands to the field. Of course, on the other side of the stadium, the same sound also rolled toward the field, “Goat! Goat!…”
The students who had just come to set off the players on the field were aroused by a sense of collective pride, howled at the top of their lungs. No one cared about what the referee in the middle of the stadium said. The game has started in the stands…
“Lo, Lola.” shivered, Alice pulled the excited girl beside her, “Who is the first person standing in there?”
“What? !” Lola pressed her ear to Alice and asked aloud, “What did you say?”
Alice repeated it again, her nervousness had already attracted the attention of the vampire and the werewolf.
“Oh!” Lola heard the question, “It’s Connor! He is the team leader! Do you like him? Please don’t like him! He is not a good guy!”
Obviously, this high school girl got the wrong idea, and kindly reminded her new friend not to be interested in a douchebag. After all, this was what 16-year-old girls should care about. However, Alice is not a 16-year-old ordinary girl. She is a banshee who can see ‘death’.
Alice looked nervously at the two ‘brothers’ who were watching her. In such an environment, she used the voice that even she herself couldn’t hear, and said, “Connor… He has already died once.”
