Chapter 8 Peggy Sue is getting married
"But the sun is coming out, get up soon and go to school!"
"Um... OK, OK, I know... Mom, I know!! It's not yet 6 o'clock! I won't skip school!"
Early in the morning, Ye Wei was woken up, ran in the morning, took a shower, and had breakfast. Soon after, he got on the yellow school bus and headed to the Harvard-West Lake Junior High School campus.
Harvard West Lake Junior High School attends school six days a week, from 8:00 to 15:15 a day, divided into nine hours, each 40 minutes, with a 5-minute break between them.
Every Monday, 9:30-10:00 is a school-wide gathering, Saturday, 9:25-9:50 is a class meeting, and Tuesday to Friday is an event time. This half hour can be used for club activities, school sports, or just wandering around and dazing.
Most people use it to participate in clubs. The junior high school has more than 60 clubs created by students, including serious ones, such as peer support, environmental protection, animal rights... and play, such as food clubs, Doctor Who fan clubs, and sleeping clubs...
Yes, the activity of the Sleeping Club is to sleep on the table in groups.
Ye Wei also founded a club called "Dream Chasing Alliance". The event time is every Thursday, and there is no fixed activity. You can do whatever you want. To put it bluntly, a prank!
The Dream Chasing Alliance has existed since the seventh grade, and he has five members in total. The reason why he has so few is that he is strict in receiving people. His friends are all over the school, but there are only four close friends.
According to the phone call they called, almost everyone in the school has been looking for him in the past two days. He is now the most popular person in the school.
As soon as you got on the school bus, cheers and cheers rang out, and the students in the bus greeted him: "Good morning, no!", "I heard that you were sick two days ago. Are you getting better now?"
Ye Wei smiled and sat to the last row. In just a few days, he had changed a lot. He didn't think that this matter needed to be proud, but he wouldn't push away everyone's enthusiasm. Don't think so much. Learning is a must. Hug when it's time to embrace youth.
"The main reason is my heart disease. I'm a little afraid that the principal will hit me, but with his memory, he should forget about Monday, right?"
"Hahaha!" There was a lot of laughter on the school bus moving forward.
When I arrived at school, the first class was about to begin soon.
Harvard-West Lake has a unique course system, and students can arrange their own course schedules, but the five academic courses of English, history, mathematics, language and science must be attended five times a week, as well as art, physical education and other courses. After all courses are scheduled, the remaining empty hours are called "X time", accounting for about 1/3 of the total hours.
Time X is freely used by students and can be used in a certain school activity they participate in, or they may be called by a teacher to help with their work projects, or they may be called to the library to organize books...
Ye Wei’s course selection strategy is nothing special. In the morning, he will take academic classes. In the afternoon, he is tired, so he will engage in literature and art, sports, and arrange an X time at noon for rest and lunch.
One morning, he obediently followed his class schedule and ran between the various classrooms.
Today is different from the past. With the next eight years of educational experience in his dream, these middle school courses are not difficult for him. All of them seem to have just learned them. So even if he is distracted, he would not understand what the teacher was saying before, but now he will not have any doubts.
Let’s look at a white girl at the table next to her. Every time the teacher talked about a key point, she would write three or four pages of notes, but she was afraid that she would not remember enough, so she refused to stop for a second.
He supported his head with one hand and turned the pencil with the other, which was very relaxed, and he was almost humming a song.
Perhaps noticed his gaze, the white girl glared at him angrily and muttered, "Can you divide your IQ into me?"
"Hi, girl, I'm pretty sure that with your appearance, your IQ is enough." Ye Wei blinked at her.
The white girl couldn't help laughing, "Yeah, you're such a bastard."
"Yes, I feel so."
She is one of the most common types of students in Harvard-West Lake. It's so contradictory here. Some people work very hard and can study all night long just to get an A in the next day's test; some people are arrogant, arrogant, snobbish, and play first, and they just don't wear clothes that say "I'm very rich in my family."
"Harvard-West Lake has only two types of students, one is the children of spoiled rich people, and the other is the children of extremely smart Asians."
This is a stereotype from the outside world. Although it is a joke, it can basically explain what happened to this school.
Its tuition fee is super expensive, with more than 20,000 US dollars a year. It also holds various parent fundraising and donation activities. Rich parents wield their money to make their children show off...
On the other hand, the academic style is very strict, with many homework, many tests, and very intensive courses.
So the higher you get, the fewer idiots you get. By the twelfth grade, even if the spoiled children are, they will have some skills. No wonder its ivy admission rate and university admission rate have been among the top in American middle schools for many years.
This place is like an independent little kingdom, with its own set of laws. The good and the bad are very different from other schools.
Also, because there are many children of celebrities and celebrities in the school, a lot of rich children, like "Flying Over Beverly".
This has cast a veil of mystery on it, making students from other schools keen on it, just as fans of other teams look at the giant teams in the league. Some people like it, some people hate it, praise it, disdain, envy, and despise it... but they all know it and talk about it.
Ye Wei thought about the movie and listened to the class. In a flash, the morning passed. When it was 12:15 noon, he immediately went to the cafeteria after class, and was hungry!
In fact, the school does not have a unified lunch time. Students can eat at free time and can bring their own lunches or buy hot food from the canteen open from 7:30 to 15:30. Students can consume with their ID certificates and then their parents check out each month.
So during any study period, some people will study hard in the classroom and some people will enjoy delicious food in the cafeteria.
The weather today is particularly good, with bright sunshine, but not poisonous at all, and warm and pleasant. Harvard-West Lake is a campus built in a tree-shaded area, full of green trees and old buildings with red roofs and white walls. The students show their youthful vitality and make the campus one of the best places in the world.
Because of the Monday rally, Ye Wei is now the most popular person in the school. His sudden disappearance for two days is like a kind of "hunger marketing", which takes this popularity to a higher level.
There were even rumors, saying that he was fired, saying that he hid because of fear, saying that he was crazy about taking drugs that day, and now he is lying in the hospital...
When he showed his face today, it caused a sensation.
"Hey, VIY! Are you okay? It's fine."
"BOSS, where have you been there these two days? Monday was done so beautifully, haha!"
"Yes, I heard that the newly released "Texas Chainsaw Madman" is very scary. Let's go watch it together on the weekend?"
"This is my number, call me."
Ye Wei was walking on the road, and many people took the initiative to say hello to him. The boys were brothers and brothers, while the girls laughed and threw their eyes at the hook, and asked him out. A blond hot girl stuffed a light-scented note to him, which was a mobile phone number and a pink lip mark.
He was not from a human background before, but this is the first time he is at this level now.
No one disliked the popularity, and the situation at home temporarily stabilized. Ye Wei was in a good mood. When he stepped into the spacious cafeteria, two guys who had been waiting at the door had already walked up with laughter and called his name: "Wei, Wei!"
Seeing the two, Ye Wei couldn't help but sigh, brothers!
They were all members of the Dream Chasing Alliance, the tall and fat white man walking on the left, named Bad Mazur, of Polish origin.
Today, Bud was wearing a blue oversized Hawaiian shirt, a pair of oversized mid-size pants, showing his fur-haired calf, shaved a flat head, a silly smile on his chubby face, a greasy mouth, and was eating a big hot dog.
The short and thin white man on the right is named Lev Poppil, of French origin.
He was dressed in a coquettish disco style bright costume from the 1980s and had a ridiculous mustache on his face. He was a erotic maniac with a heart but no courage, and because he had a big nose, he regarded himself as the protagonist of the classic French love tragedy "The Big Nose Love Saint".
"You're so cool on Monday! Why did you show up today?" As soon as Lev arrived, he exaggeratedly performed a knightly salute and knelt on one knee, "My king, please accept my humble worship!"
The students around him walked by with a smile. Ye Wei pretended to be serious and said, "I give you glory" and asked with a smile: "Where is Kerrwin, where is Chen Nuo?"
"They knew that when you came back today, they said that you would be surrounded by a lot of people and didn't want to deal with that kind of scene, so they ran away after taking the food, a fool who was inexpensive."
Ye Wei nodded. The introversion of those two guys was a problem.
Lev's eyes glowed, as if immersed in some fantasy, "Believe me, man, there will be many hot beauties who fall in love with you, and they will swallow you up... This year's Homecoming Festival will not happen again, because you are cooler than James Dean!"
Bud kept saying YES, and after a while, he had finished eating the whole hot dog, "Brother Wei, what do you want? I'll get it for you."
"I'd better take it myself, so that only half of it will be left."
Ye Wei smiled and said, and then he suddenly felt a sudden heart. I recalled that in my dream, after he moved to school, not only did he not have a good life, but these buddies were the same.
Without his protection, they were bullied by school bullies and became more and more withdrawn, like ragged bears abandoned in the corner.
When he was in his senior year, Korwin entered a mental hospital; Chen Nuo became a very high-sighted otaku, addicted to the online game world; Lev was arrested for stealing women's underwear during the Nude Festival and was sent to prison. After being released from prison, he was disheartened and left the United States and went to Shaolin Temple in China, where he became a monk.
After graduating from high school, Bard lost news, as if the world had evaporated. It was not until several years later that everyone saw his new news on TV.
It turned out that he had been an otaku for four years, overeating every day, and became a super fat man with difficulty in moving. He had to go to the hospital because he was sick, but the medical staff could not move him into the car. Finally, he had to call firefighters to move him out of his house.
Ye Wei was too busy to take care of himself, although he was extremely heartbroken by his friends' situation, he couldn't do anything.
But now it is different. He feels that he has the responsibility to keep them on track and continue the beauty of the present to the future. Thinking of this, Ye Wei became serious: "Bad, to be honest, you can't eat so much, you have to learn to be restrained."
Bard suddenly shouted aggrievedly: "But I'm just hungry!"
The three of them talked about the food pickup table that was wafting away. Lev did not participate in the topic of how much Bard should eat, and he kept talking:
"Brother Wei, it's time for our club to recruit new members. There will definitely be a lot of people coming these days. We have to carefully select... Only recruit beautiful women, big breasts, hehe... When we get promoted to high school, we will build such a club... By the way, Brother Wei, where is the post-production of that short film? Can you hurry to participate in next year's film festival?"
Not only friends, Ye Wei knew that his parents were looking forward to his performance at the film festival, so this matter could not be delayed. He thought about it and said that the deadline for submission of the work was at the end of December, and there was still plenty of time, so he replied: "No problem, don't worry."
"Okay, we will be very upset when we become more powerful at the film festival, about which girl to choose as our girlfriend." Lev said, and couldn't help but let out a burst of smirks.
While talking, the three of them received a different plate of food, walked to a clean empty table on the side, and sat down, eating and chatting.
Bud was basically eating, and Lev was basically saying: "Brother Wei, look at you. Many people are preparing to participate. There will definitely be a fierce competition. John Williams, that guy recently made a noise and said that the award of 'the most popular work' must be his, hehe that tone!"
John Williams, the son of a wealthy businessman, the quarterback of the second football team, the leader of a team of school dominating teams in the junior high school, is a real bad guy, and he likes to bully others the most.
Because students who were bullied by them would ask Ye Wei for protection, "He is my man, don't touch him." So everyone has a lot of holidays.
"Then he is going to go home crying." Ye Wei was interested. In his dream, he did not participate because of the change of home. He quickly transferred to the school and did not care about this matter later.
But now, he smiled and said, "As long as I participate, no one can win the grand prize except us."
"Of course, of course!" Bard nibbled a burger excitedly.
"Look, that guy is there!" Levnut said, and the two of them turned their eyes to Changtai.
Chapter completed!
