On the huge scoreboard hanging directly above the center of the stadium, the countdown representing the remaining time of the game returned to zero, and the game was over! The beavers won the first victory of the Porto high school football league this year! Cheers rushed out of the stands again, mixed with all kinds of colored paper, hats, slogans... Rushed to the winning team in the stadium!
However, in this jubilation, there were discordant voices, which came from the square array of Ript high school.
"It's not fair!"
When everyone was cheering for the victory, Laura was not happy. From the beginning to the end of the game, she was probably the only one who paid attention to the outside of the right wing. "It must be Connor, this annoying guy. He always targeted Kyle!" The girl leaned against the fence, looked at the quarterback who was being thrown up by the players, and said angrily.
Alice did not know how to comfort her new friend. She said to herself, 'Laura, don't be angry. That annoying fellow is dead!'
The Banshee lookd to Ryan for help, and the vampire was touching his chin, showing a thoughtful look. After watching the whole game, they didn't find anything different about the guy named Connor.
"Forget it!" Laura crumpled the popcorn bag into a ball, venting her anger: "by the way, Alice, do you want to go to the players' lounge? I can take you there."
"Is that ok? Thank you very much!" Ryan put on a smile and agreed before the Banshee refused.
Laura was in a better mood. She picked up her things and once again ran ahead with a distressed look. Benjamin finally had a chance to discuss' Connor 'with Ryan.
"Benjamin! And Alice's other brother (Ryan), keep up!" Laura didn't forget to turn her head and smiled at the werewolf.
Lola's appellation of the three people had clearly explained something. This time, it was just a 'social practice' for Alice, which successfully made a friend for Aliceand made an admirer for the werewolf. During the whole competition, Lola's topic was divided into three parts: Alice, Benjamin and Kyle. But looking at Benjamin's bitter face, he didn't seem very excited.
Outsiders were not allowed to enter the players' lounge. Even family members were waiting outside. However, the smart Laura showed her last name - Porto. The security guards didn't embarrass them too much, so they let them go.
Laura first looked at the door for a moment and confirmed that all the people inside were wearing clothes. Then she took the three people into the room.
"Kyle!" Laura excitedly rushed to her brother and gave him a big hug, but within a second, the girl pushed her brother away with a look of disgust, "Er, you are sweating all over! You stink!"
Ryan was very happy that Alice can meet Laura. This is a textbook model for a 16-year-old girl! Ryan hoped Alice can learn the girl's fickleness.
Kyle's face was overcast, and he seemed to have nothing to do with his sister. "Do you expect it to be fragrant here? Why are you here?"
"I think you need some comfort, right wing outfield man ~" Laura looked at her brother jokingly, as if the girl who had fought against him was not herself! This is definitely brother and sister!
Kyle's face grew darker and he ignored his proud sister. He grabbed a passing team member and said, "tell the coach that I'll go first."
"Ok." The other side promised.
Laura was a little worried and pressed Kyle's hand as he was packing. "Why are you leaving so early? There will be interviews and celebration parties in a while!"
Kyle pushed his sister's hand away. "I don't feel very well. I have to go back first. That's it." Kyle zipped up his backpack, stood up and was about to leave. Unexpectedly, he was a young man with unusual consistency in words and deeds!
"Wait!" Laura frowned. It seemed that she could not figure out what her brother was thinking. "At least let me introduce my new friend first!"
Kyle found the three people standing by and looked at his sister suspiciously, "who are they?"
"This is Alice! They are Alice's brothers." Laura took the opportunity to stand next to Benjamin and tried her best to wink at her brother: "this is Benjamin." Of course, Laura missed Ryan. It's no surprise. Ryan suspected that the girl didn't remember her name at all!
Obviously, Kyle didn't understand his sister's intention, but looked at Ryan absently.
Ryan smiled and took out his sunglasses. "Don't forget to fasten your seat belt."
Kyle remembered that this was the man who had reminded him of traffic safety on the road. But Kyle obviously thought of something else. His body shook involuntarily, he stepped back, said nothing, and rushed out of the lounge with his head down.
"Kyle!" Laura looked at her brother who ran away angrily. "What happened to this guy today?"
When Kyle left, Laura didn't know what to do. She looked around, and all the excited young men gathered together to chat. They didn't mean to ignore her.
"Laura. Where's Kyle?"
"He just left..." Laura answered subconsciously. She turned and saw the questioner. It was' Connor '. Laura's face turned cold. "It's none of your business!"
Connor's expression did not change. "I had something to say to him, but he kept avoiding me."
"He has nothing to say with you!" Laura had changed back to the sister who defended her brother against injustice. "I have nothing to say to you, too!" Laura grabbed Alice trembling. "Let's go!"
This was Alice's first initiative to cooperate with Laura. The two girls rushed out of the lounge in the blink of an eye.
Ryan's eyes shifted from 'Connor' and he frowned at Benjamin, who also frowned. The two can't communicate more because --"Benjamin! Alice's other brother! Keep up!" Laura shouted.
Laura made a mistake. When she went to the lounge to see Kyle, she missed the school bus. Then after Kyle left first, she lost her means of transportation to go home!
"I think Benjamin would be happy to take you back." Ryan smiled and patted the helpless werewolf.
"Really?" Laura looked at Benjamin: "thank you, Benjamin!"
In this way, the granddaughter of the founder of Porto got on Benjamin's old, mud covered truck.
"Laura." Ryan took off his sunglasses and looked at the girl sitting with Alice in the back seat: "now, it will take some time to get to your house. Why don't you tell us what kind of person Connor, the captain of the beaver team, is?"
In Laura's field of vision, there were only two red dots left. Her eyes were confused for a moment, but she immediately became clear. I don't know why, she suddenly had a desire to gossip about that annoying scum man!
"Captain? Hum! That guy is not qualified to be a captain! Alice, I tell you, you must not look at him as good..."
Ryan put on his sunglasses again and motioned to Alice with a bitter face: 'study hard ~'
In Laura's unrestrained narration, vampires and werewolves listen carefully to the standard high school gossip. They were judging, judging what 'Connor' was still in normal activities.
In this world, there are not many things that can still walk in the world after death. Well, there are also many. Vampires, ghouls, zombies... Ryan didn't want Alice's first friend to live in danger, so he wanted to make sure that this Connor was not a threat to Laura.
Maybe Ryan also had some selfishness. Laura was the granddaughter of the Porto family. Vampires don't want the family of the city's founders to be exposed to other aliens unprepared. Because Porto is not a place where other aliens can have fun, but Ryan's backyard, the backyard of Anderson's house!
Ryan thought of the old lady who suddenly talked to him and Benjamin at Mrs. Quinn's funeral. After the funeral, Ryan found the name of the old lady, Selena Porto, in the newspaper published decades ago.
Perhaps Mrs Porto would not have thought that they would meet again so soon.
