The air at the entrance of Santa Monica Middle School in Los Angeles was filled with gossip.
Although no one was talking, and the air was almost quiet, judging from the footsteps of the students around them who seemed to be frozen in place, and their staggered eyes back and forth, the high school students simply fell in love with the real-life drama version of a handsome man and a pretty girl.
If the brain waves could be realized, William thought that the air around him must be filled with barrages of comments.
William grinned nervously on his aching cheeks. Looking at the hot eyes of the people around him, he sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Claire, my best friend came to say goodbye to me yesterday. I was so caught up. It was my fault that I forgot to go to the appointment."
William had made an appointment with Claire last night to spend the night at her house - by climbing the window. Claire liked Romeo and Juliet's romance very much - but because of Lance's arrival, William forgot to go to the appointment. Claire probably waited for a night, either didn't sleep all night or stayed up late, which can be seen from the dark circles under her eyelids, so she slapped William angrily now.
"So you forgot about our date? Because of your 'same-sex' friend, you completely forgot about your girlfriend?" Claire said through gritting teeth .
"I finally get to know you, William Bradley! We're breaking up! From now on! Just end your high school life with the virgin of yours, and I'll find a more handsome and better boy than you! It's like—"
Claire frantically grabbed a handful of her blonde hair, and finally remembered a suitor who was probably not inferior to William: "Thomson, the quarterback of the football team! He's been having a crush on me for a long time! "
William opened and closed his mouth. But in the end he only swallowed his saliva without a word. If Claire was just trying to vent his anger, then no matter how he explained it now, it would probably only add fuel to the fire.
Last night was actually an important day for Claire to make up her mind to break through the relationship. The date she had been waiting for for a long time was ruined, so she was so angry.
Claire's family is Christians, and her thoughts are as conservative as those of the East Coast. Claire's parents have bluntly said that they want her to remain a virgin until she gets married.
Claire has been a loyal member of the school's Virginity Club since the eighth grade. But since she joined the cheer-leading team and became the captain, her girlfriends and teammates have talked about all gender topics in private (high school boys always flock to cheerleaders), such as - which player on the football team or baseball team is tall and looks skilled, which person looks mighty and strong, but when he takes off his pants, the weapon is actually pitiful, and who secretly stuffs a cheerleader with a hundred dollars, just to ask the other party to praise him in front of his friends that he is very good at his skills, etc.
After a long period of exposure to it, coupled with a little adolescent rebelliousness, and her reluctance to become an outlier in the cheer-leading team, Claire was determined to taste the forbidden fruit. After a thousand choices, she chose William Bradley - the dream of countless girls in Santa Monica Middle School. He is handsome, all of his coursework grades were A+, and his sports grades were also very good. The key is that I heard that he transferred from Manhattan, New York, and his accent is completely different from that of babbling West Coast boys, not only very privacy-oriented, but also very gentlemanly to the girls. The whole school knows that he doesn't sleep with a cheerleader like the other boys in the school, which gives Claire a great sense of security.
Under Claire's active pursuit, the two quickly confirmed their relationship, although it was not as hateful as openly kissing me and hugging on campus, but the mutual feeding in the cafeteria was still quite blinding to the envy of others.
After two months of dating, Claire hinted that William would go to her house for the night, that is, last night, William agreed, but he finally missed the appointment.
Then, Claire counted at least five things in a row where Thompson was stronger than William—two inches taller, seven inches stronger in waistline, more developed biceps, more ex-girlfriends, more attendants at class, and so on—and after saying that, she raised her chin and glared at William provokingly.
It was only after a moment that William realized that Claire was going to make a story on her own, and he blinked and said, "Thompson sounds a little more muscular than me, uh, so, congratulations?" "
Claire's anger grew, and she flicked her right arm violently.
"Hey!" William grabbed Claire's arm and protested: "I can understand your anger and I have to sincerely apologize. But slap someone else? It's not a habit that a good girl should have. "
"William Bradley, we're finished! It's completely over! "
It's okay if William did not say anything but just looked at her with his sad green eyes and maybe she would change her mind.
But now that he has opened his mouth, Claire totally erupted like a volcano, leaving William alone at the school gate to receive the gaze of everyone around.
"You're still a virgin? It's unimaginable!" Danny suddenly appeared out of nowhere, looked at William and said in amazement, "I thought you had slept with a woman when you were fourteen!"
Then he looked around: "Oh, I don't think it will take an hour for the whole school to know about it, and many people's hearts will be greatly soothed, such as poor little Tony in the twelfth grade, who always thought he was the last virgin in Santa Monica." "
"Until I was fourteen, I was at Calgate School, which was a private boys' school." William rolled his eyes at Danny and walked towards the school gate with his backpack, "Also, who told you I'm a virgin?" "
" What…? So men can also break virgin for men?" Danny stood still and muttered something quietly, then shouted "Wait for me" and chased after William.

At an altitude of 20,000 feet, the Roderick family's private jet was flying in the direction of London, England.
The red-haired and blue-eyed beauty stewardess walked over lightly and covered the sole heir of the Roderick family with a thin blanket.
Lance Roderick lay in his seat with his eyes closed, seemingly asleep, unaware of the stewardess's movements.
The stewardess sighed in disappointment and left lightly.
When she walked into the workshop, she thoughtfully closed the curtain, leaving Lance alone in the entire cabin.
After a few minutes, Lance opened his eyes, his eyes clear, and his captivating blue eyes shone with wisdom.
He knew all about the arrival and departure of the beautiful stewardess, but he didn't open his eyes to talk to the other party, because he was not interested in a high-altitude encounter at the moment.
Lance's head was now filled with ambition and self-confidence.
Since the age of sixteen, he is finally qualified to sit on the board of directors of the Roderick Industrial Group as an auditor. Lance has been trying to show his presence to his father, Taylor Roderick. Although the suggestions made by young people sometimes are aggressive, but from a long-term perspective, it may be an innovative way for the development of the group. However, the "dictator" Taylor still enjoys the power in his hands, and is not ready to delegate power to the sole heir so early, so he uses "Boarding schools in Britain are better than in the United States, You should go to Eton or Harrow School for some training" and "You're old enough to try to take care of the group's business in Europe when you're in England" as an excuse to send Lance away.
Perhaps in Taylor Roderick's eyes, this was exile and a test for his sole heir, but for Lance, it was a great opportunity for development.
For a long time, Taylor has paid too much attention to the market of the Roderick Group in North America, South America and Africa, and neglected the Middle East of Europe and Asia.
What's more, Lance is not completely isolated in Europe. His maternal grandfather Waddington family is rooted in the United Kingdom, and his connections and wealth are unimaginably strong.
Lifting the curtains and looking out at the clear blue sky and white clouds for a moment, Lance closed the curtains again.
When he returns to New York, he will have wings on his back.
The growing male lions try to strengthen their position by expelling the younger ones because they are afraid of old age, but the young male lions are never afraid. Thus, they fight.

In a studio at Universal Studios Los Angeles, Warner Bros., the production "Louis and Clark", also known as "Superman's New Adventure", is being carried out intensively in the final episodes of the second season.
The first season of "Louis and Clark" began to air on the ABC radio network (ABC) in September 1993, because it created a completely different image of Superman from previous movies . In most of the past Superman movies and comics, Superman is a perfect hero, a man of steel who never falls. But in "Louis and Clark", it focuses on Superman's ordinary identity, when he is Clark Kent's work and love life. In addition, the special effects of TV dramas are quite standard in this era, so they have attracted huge attention among American TV audiences since they were launched.
Louise's intelligence and beauty, Clark's elegant atmosphere, and the various unbelievable adventures that the two experienced together have left a deep impression on the audience's hearts.
At the end of the first season, the viewership population was about 1100, and the tenth in the United States ratings of the year. And in the authoritative IMDB website, "Louis and Clark" got a rating of 7.0 - which is already a very good result for a comic book TV series - of which 19.77% of the audience voted for a perfect score. Although most of the viewers under the age of 18 liked the TV series in the ABC survey, this did not affect the bureau's popularity in the North American TV market.
The studio is full of people, and Dean Cane, who plays Clark Kent, wears a Superman uniform and bravely subdues a criminal in front of a green backdrop.
Director Joe Schuster shouted "CUT" in satisfaction, signaling that the shot had passed.
When the lead actor Dean Cane walked into the dressing room and began to change into the costume of Clark Kent, Joe Schuster turned his head and asked the assistant director, "What about Jimmy? And Where is the actor who played Philip? "
When Schuster is talking about Jimmy, he is not referring to an actor, but to a character in "Louis and Clark", who is a colleague of Luis and Clark, Jimmy Olsen, a photographer for the Planet.
"Louis and Clark" is currently filming the second season of nineteen episodes, and the new episode Jimmy is an important character, not only falling into the center of the conspiracy, but also causing harm to the hero and heroine. When Jimmy was a baby, he and some other children were injected with a virus that lurked in their bodies, and when they grew up and the virus was activated, they would obey all the orders of the virus maker, including killing people. Jimmy and the other children are ordered to kill Louis. Louis also meets Superman Clark Kent, who is disguised as a person, and decides to date the man. However, she was unaware that she is so close to death without Superman's protection...
"Philip" is one of the other children who have been injected with the virus, and in the new episode, he plays the assistant of Jimmy, who is also manipulated, and is a murderous character who solves troubles without blinking.
The assistant director replied: "Jimmy is already putting on makeup, and he hasn't played Philip yet." "
Director Schuster frowned: "Didn't he arrive? What's going on? "
Not far away, an agent in a gray suit noticed the movement here, and ran over with a smile on his face: "Mr. Schuster, the actor who was scheduled to play Philip was hospitalized yesterday with a sudden illness. I called you to ask if it would be okay to change someone, you replied that I asked someone to try today. Don't you remember this incident?" "
The man in gray suit is called Yamon Goffman, a Jewish agent, although he does not have deep family connections, but with extremely flexible social means, he has a good personal relationship with many TV department heads and even senior studio officials. Some of his peers who hate Amon Goffman also talkied about him behind his back: "Another Jewish vampire rising in the brokerage world."
Schuster had a sudden expression on his face: "I remember this, but what about the replacement actor you found?" "
"He's going to be there right away." "He didn't live in town yesterday, he lived in Santa Monica, and when he got my call, he rushed here, and the time was almost up," said Yamon Goffman, looking at his watch.
Schuster was a little impatient: "I'll wait for him for another ten minutes, and if he has not arrived, I'll change the actor." "
Hearing this, Yamon Goffman hadn't expressed any opinions, but the eyes of the extras who came and went around lit up all of a sudden.
The character of Philip has more than a dozen lines and twenty minutes of appearance in the new episode, which is much stronger than the pure insignificant party that either has no lines or only one line.
For a moment, all the extras of the right age prayed silently to God in their hearts: O Jesus Christ, bless this supporting actor that he does not make it in ten minutes, then I will have a chance to fight for the role!
The assistant director looked at the dial and timed: "Thirty seconds, thirty-one seconds... Fifty-eight seconds, fifty-nine seconds, one minute..."
