[Comprehensive British and American] vampires modern daily life

Chris Lee is a 13-year-old student in the eighth grade of Dongcheng Middle School in Queens. After entering the middle school, he found that he was suddenly different from the children around him.

Because of his tall stature, he sat in the back row in every class, but one day, he suddenly heard other rustling sounds besides the teacher's lecture. He didn't care until these voices became louder and louder to the point where he couldn't ignore them at all, then he realized that these voices were actually the whispers of the two boys in the front row.

His sudden enhanced hearing made him know that Tom and Jack in the front row were actually a couple of lovers.

Except in class, when he is at home, he can clearly hear the parents downstairs discussing quietly about taking the children for a picnic on the weekend; on his way to school, he can clearly hear the pile of children ten meters away from him. The old couple was complaining that the neighbor's husky was too noisy; when he went to get a book from the cabinet in the corridor between classes, the noisy voices in the corridor rushed into his ears regardless of the severity, and he was in extreme pain. He only felt that his head was approaching If the loading limit is exceeded, any more will explode.

At the same time, he found that his auricles had also begun to change. The upper edge of the auricles gradually became sharper and gradually deviated from the shape of human ears. On the head, the hair and ears are all covered in the hat.

From then on, he began to intentionally or unintentionally reduce the daily interaction with his classmates, and even the conversations were as short as possible. He was afraid that the voices he heard were just whispers from his classmates. Once he responded, what would happen to him? , is the questioning and angry eyes of the students.

He is not keen on prying into other people's privacy, and he can't control himself.

When the weather gradually turned warm, his relatives and friends began to wonder why he was still wearing that woolen hat, so he had to take it off. Fortunately, after a whole winter, his hair grew a lot. So he deliberately arranged his hair and covered his ears, thinking that he could use his hair to fool him.

Later, it was because his mother couldn't stand his growing hair and forced him to cut it. Naturally, he refused with a very firm attitude. During the quarrel, his mother lifted his hair. His body froze for a moment, and then he heard his mother's scream without any surprise.

This scream pierced his eardrums, and made him want to open his head more than any sound in this period of time. He opened his eyes wide, watching his familiar mother's eyes become more and more strange, and often Take a few steps back until there is no way back.

"How could my son be a mutant!"

"Get out! Get out!"

He really rolled, and then his sister took him home by the side of the asphalt road in the middle of the night. The sister touched his ears and said, "So my brother is an elf."

From then on, his asylum at home was not his parents, but his sister.

And the classmates in the school also quickly found out that he was a mutant. Just like his parents, their attitudes changed 180 degrees the moment they knew about it. The one who sat in front of him in math class The girl in the row volunteered to change seats. The boy who used the closet next to him in the corridor between classes changed his face suddenly when he saw him, and slammed his own closet door hard. Even the teacher stopped looking at him, as if he was nothing.

His shelter at school is not a teacher, but a classmate Dorothy he has known since elementary school.

When the girl in the front row applied to change the seat, it was Dorothy who took the initiative to sit in his front row; when the boy who used the closet next door slammed the door, it was she who stepped forward to blame; including when the teacher ignored him deliberately, it was her Raise your hand and say that the teacher Chris has not copied this ppt yet.

In gym class, everyone was fighting for each other on the basketball court. He was sitting alone in the audience. Dorothy passed him the ball on the court and said, "Chris, come together."

"Dorothy has really been trying to make me feel that being a mutant is no big deal." Robbit lowered his head and whispered, "Although I am a boy, I have always been protected by her, although I know I'm an anomaly at home and at school, but as long as there's someone who treats me like that, I won't give up."

As he said, he looked up at Eunice, and after seeing Eunice looking at him intently, he hurriedly lowered his head and said, "Miss Stiles, do you think that I As a mutant, in the families and schools of ordinary people, it affects their normal life. In fact, sometimes I can’t persist. I heard other mutants mention that there is a place not far from New York that specializes in mutants. I also thought about leaving here secretly to study and live in that school, but as long as I think that after I leave, there will be two people who will be sad for me, and I can't be cruel..."

After he finished speaking, he twisted the corner of his clothes with his fingers, raised his head timidly, and looked at Eunice with some anxiety.

Eunice looked at him, smiled, and said, "Actually, you should ask yourself this question."

Chris froze for a moment: "Ask me?"

"Yes." Eunice tapped her finger on the table lightly and said, "The one who is really affected by your life is yourself, whether it's your parents or classmates, it's because they can't accept your status as a mutant and disturb you Your own quiet life."

"It is impossible for different races to coexist peacefully. This truth has been proved to future generations with countless large and small wars since prehistoric times. The same is true for mutants and humans. If you want to continue to survive in human society , you can only conceal your true identity, once it is exposed, one party will inevitably need to compromise." Eunice said slowly, "From the current point of view, it is the mutants who make the compromise, and Magneto is one of the mutants. uncompromising."

Chris nodded, and whispered: "Actually... After I heard Magneto's broadcast, I also thought about fighting with him..."

Eunice smiled and shook her head: "Radical revolutionary pioneers generally have unsatisfactory endings, so you should think carefully about this issue."

"But Magneto is very powerful."

"But it is impossible for the top performers in minority groups to achieve all-round success." Eunice moved closer to Chris, stretched out her index finger and tapped his forehead, "You are still young, you will understand in the future of."

Chris lowered his head again, this time he saw the electronic watch on his wrist, and after only a glance, the whole person jumped up from the chair and couldn't help shouting: "Dorothy is back from school, I have to Go protect her!"

Eunice gently rubbed her forehead with one hand, pulled his schoolbag strap with the other, pulled him down again, and said, "Wait, don't be so excited."

"No, I'm in a hurry. If I'm one minute late, Dorothy will be in danger." Chris stomped his feet anxiously.

Eunice couldn't help but smiled: "What's the danger of finding a middle school girl, not to mention that you are only a 13-year-old boy. Although you are a mutant, I don't think you have the talent for fighting .”

"It's true, but I..."

Before Chris finished speaking, Eunice stood up, put her hands in the pockets of her windbreaker, walked out of her seat, and said, "I'll go with you."

"But Miss Stiles..."

"Just take it as compensation for being forced to attack mutants with a knife." Eunice said briskly, "I have to go to work at the broadcasting company at eight o'clock, and I have my show today, so we still have two Hours can escort your princess home."

Dorothy was a tall, fair-haired girl, recognizable for her young age, as a beauty.Eunice and Chris stood at the corner beside the gate of Dongcheng Middle School, silently watching Dorothy wave goodbye to her classmates one by one with her schoolbag on her back, and then stood alone in front of the zebra crossing and waited for the traffic lights.

Chris thought that Eunice couldn't see clearly what was tens of meters away, so he kept babbling about "Dorothy is beautiful and popular with her classmates", "Dorothy is even good at sports", "Dorothy said she was going to go to Midtown High with him for tenth grade" and so on.

It wasn't until the red light at the zebra crossing turned green that Dorothy walked forward, and Eunice asked, "You also said that Dorothy has been protecting you for so long, even if she is in danger, You can also walk home with her openly, so why on earth did you choose to follow her quietly to protect her?"

Chris's voice paused, he looked back at Eunice, just said "I", Eunice heard a boy's voice shouting: "Student Li, you should have visited the museum today , why are you here now?"

Eunice turned her head and saw a boy carrying a basketball walking out of a school gate. He looked bigger than Chris and Dorothy, and his hair was a little wet with sweat. He should have just exercised. He saw You Nisi Shi's eyes were a little surprised, as if she suddenly thought of something, she glanced at the street opposite the school gate, just in time to see Dorothy walking across the street after crossing the zebra crossing, her brows frowned even deeper.

"Chris!" The boy turned his head abruptly, and grabbed Chris by the collar with the hand that was not holding the basketball. "You still dare to follow her? How many dirty thoughts do you have in your heart? You are disgusting!" mutants, stay away from Dorothy!"

After he finished speaking, he threw Chris aside, his eyes full of sarcasm: "If you feel that you were not beaten hard enough last time, you can come to me again, and one day I will beat you until you dare not come to class again."

Eunice watched the whole process with her arms folded. After the boy had left, she asked, "Did he cause those scars on your body?"

Chris paused for straightening his collar, and added in a low voice: "And my dad beat me."

"Because you followed a female classmate after school in an attempt to misbehave?"

Chris walked to the traffic light in silence, and when the red light turned green again, he said: "There are other people who want to do something wrong with Dorothy. I just want to protect her, and they, because I am a mutant, So it stands to reason that I was the one who knocked Dorothy unconscious on her way home from school and took off her coat..."

Eunice followed him on the zebra crossing, and asked abruptly, "Dorothy thinks so too?"

Chris didn't answer this time.
