Nowhere to be found, only the heart of a young man

Holly did not win the triple jump final, nor entered the top three.In fact, all his results were invalidated, and he was also disqualified from the long jump competition.

I sat in my seat in the classroom in a daze, my mind was in chaos.

All that appeared in front of his eyes was the scene on the field half an hour ago.

In the center of the growing crowd of onlookers, an angry tall boy stretched his arms, grabbed the referee's collar with his right hand, and punched the teacher hard in the face with his left hand.

"Ah!" burst out from the crowd.

The teacher who was beaten was caught off guard and backed away.

"You kid dare to hit someone?"

"You judge unfairly, I hit you!"

Another punch.

The crowd of onlookers exclaimed again.

I was squeezed into the crowd, holding Fang Fang tightly with my right hand, and subconsciously covered my mouth with my left hand.

Beside He Li, several boys were trying to stop him who had gone mad.

Someone grabbed his waist desperately; someone pulled his shoulders hard, trying to grab his arm; they anxiously shouted at the boy who had already lost his hold.

"What do you want? Are you crazy!"

"Calm down! Don't be impulsive!"

"He falsified his grades to cover up his students! He didn't admit it when he was caught! You referees swore before the game, I'm going to beat you today!"

Holly couldn't control himself.

All are doing their best to separate him from the equally irritated teacher referee.

Half an hour later, I sat blankly in the classroom, still unable to believe that the irritable boy who was in the center of the crowd just now was the same Hurley who was still joking with his companions before the game, and always smiled when he went home with me.

His actions terrified me and left me terrified.

It was Fang Fang who kept holding my hand and leading me back to the classroom.

Along the way, none of us spoke.

On the big clock in front of the teaching building, the hour and minute hands point to twelve.

Near the lunch break, all the competitions scheduled for the morning have all ended.The campus radio temporarily stopped being noisy and uneasy.The classmates who had let go all morning also carried their benches and belongings tiredly and returned to their respective classrooms.

They followed the teacher's instructions, took a short rest, and then went home from school.

Fang Fang stayed with me for a while, seeing my listless appearance, raised her hand to check the time on the watch, and had no choice but to leave first.

I lay prone on the desk, with my head resting on my arms, and I looked out of the window sideways, feeling neither hunger nor strength.

Occasionally, a classmate would come over to care about me and ask me if I was not feeling well.I shook my head and said I was just tired and needed a rest.Hearing this, the other party comforted me a few words, then walked away silently, leaving me alone.

I seemed to be waiting, and I couldn't tell what I was waiting for.

After a while, a sweaty army wearing a sports vest and carrying a water bottle passed by me inadvertently.Suddenly, something fell out of his palm.He bent down, picked it up again, and then put the thing on my table naturally, and said something that surprised me,

"Lin whispered, your things have been lost."

Then, he turned and left.

I straightened up in surprise, wanting to take a closer look at what strange object was on the table.I found that lying quietly in front of me was just a crumpled paper ball.I immediately grabbed it in the palm of my hand and opened it to look.I found a few Chinese characters written in my familiar handwriting: Don't wait for me, go home.

My eye circles started to redden.But, I can't let the tears fall.

A breath began to surge through my body.

So, I made up my mind and quickly packed up my belongings.He stood up, rushed out of the classroom door, and ran outside like the wind.

Along the way, I ran home.

At noon, Dad stayed in the unit for dinner as usual.After eating lunch, Minmin went to play at her classmate's house.Only my mother is still at home waiting for me.

I was so exhausted that I scrambled for a few mouthfuls of lunch, then lay down on my bed and fell into a deep sleep.

My mother saw all my abnormalities in her eyes.However, she chose not to say anything, she just quietly cleaned up the dishes and let me go.

Back at school in the afternoon, my mental state was much better.

The school sports meeting is still going on, and everyone is busy with everything in an orderly manner.

Seeing that I regained my spirits, Fang Fang gathered around again, talking non-stop.It's just that she never mentioned what happened in the morning.

I responded to her nonchalantly.

However, we did not see Holly again until after school in the afternoon.

But I can hear the discussions of the students around him all around him.

"Will Holly be punished?"

"I don't know, I only know that he was taken away by the people from the Academic Affairs Office."

"Didn't he hit the referee? Hit the teacher, can the school let him go?"

"Okay! Our class is famous now! We already know that this kid is the material to cause trouble."

"Don't talk nonsense, he didn't start this matter first."

"What? What do you all know? The referee is obviously unfair, okay! If it were me, I would want to beat that guy too! What's wrong with the teacher, a teacher can bully the students!"

"Does Teacher Yang know about this?"

"Don't be stupid, it's all like this, of course Teacher Yang knows about it! After hearing that He Li was taken away, Teacher Yang rushed to the Academic Affairs Office at that time!"

"What happened then?"

"What's the matter? Actually, the referee said that Holly ran out of the run-up marker line in the final jump. However, Holly just accidentally ran out of the marker line during the run-up process, which is not considered a foul in international competitions." of."

"But the teacher insisted that it was a foul if He Li's body touched the ground beyond the jumping line during the run-up or jump without taking off, and threatened to invalidate his results. There's a fight."

"It's really like a tongue twister, I didn't understand it."

"Hey, you're right if you didn't understand. To put it bluntly, the referee wanted to protect his student. His student performed too well, and He Li's grades just happened to be ahead of his student. So..."

"Hey, Heli is too impulsive! It wasn't his fault, but if he did something, all the faults would be on his head, alas..."

"So, impulse is the devil!"

"Tch, the guy who was beaten is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Do you know what he said? He said, don't think that you are the students of the star class teacher, so you think you are great! Heli only did it after hearing this. "

"Ah, a teacher still talks like this? This kind of virtue deserves to be beaten!"

Sitting aside, I just listened quietly.I never want to make a comment, or say another word.

Because, I have my own understanding of Holly!However, I am no longer willing to share the secret that only belongs to me with others.Guarding them, I will feel more secure than ever!

In this long afternoon, everyone's life is quietly undergoing transformation amid enthusiasm, vitality and growth.

The next day was still a sunny day.After this morning, the school sports meeting will all end.

Came to school early, I breathed the fresh morning air.

Fang Fang didn't come today, she missed the last half day because of her stomachache.So, together with other students, I took the horses and came to the camp where my class was stationed yesterday.

This morning, there are still some students' competitions that will be held as scheduled, including the men's 800 meters that Holly participated in.

Just when I was guessing whether he would show up today, he still stepped on, wearing that bright sweatshirt, and stepped into the door of the classroom.

The difference from yesterday was that there were still obvious bruises on Heli's brow bone.

The moment he walked into the classroom, everyone unexpectedly quieted down and looked at him carefully.It's just that after a while, they resumed their usual hustle and bustle.

I didn't know where the courage came from, and kept staring at him with my eyes.But from beginning to end, he never glanced in my direction.

I began to feel a little reconciled, and suddenly recalled a sentence Fang Fang said meaningfully before school yesterday.

"Whispering, sometimes we have to learn to accept who we really are and the real life we ​​live in."

"It was like I couldn't accept my parents' divorce at first. But in the end, I accepted it."

I know he will continue to play today.

So, no matter what, just today, I plan to accompany him through the race in my own way.
