Everyday life at Midtown High School

After being forced to jump off a building after messing around with his good friend Harry; and experiencing all kinds of unlucky and embarrassing things such as a slip of the tongue and calling daddy to the person he wanted to pursue, Pooh felt exhausted that the long day had finally passed, maybe, tomorrow Can be transferred.

However, after leaving the bakery and returning home, his dear sister Gwen told him with regret that this troubled day did not end.

"Peter wounded Thompson while you were away this afternoon."

The beautiful blonde girl said to him worriedly: "In the physical education class that you didn't go to, they suddenly had a conflict and fought. I heard from a few students present that it seemed to be because of you."

"Me?" Pooh pointed at his nose in disbelief and shouted, "I've been away all afternoon!"

"Yes, it's because you're not here, so Thompson is asking people about you everywhere."

Gwen shrugged her shoulders and relayed the news that she had heard: "Everyone knows that Peter and you are good friends, so he approached Peter. Then, I don't know what they said, and suddenly There was a fight... The most amazing thing was that Peter had the upper hand in this fight. Harry tried to help at first, but he couldn't intervene. I heard that Peter sent Thompson flying with a single punch... If If this is not an exaggerated rumor, then I have to say, he is really hiding his secrets."

"What? Peter? Are you sure you're talking about Peter, and not something like Superman? His nerd, punched Thompson away? How is that possible? Thompson didn't pretend to be on purpose, did he?"

After Pooh said a series of words in disbelief, he continued to ask: "What about the follow-up?"

"Thompson was sent to the hospital, and the counselor went to Peter's parents. At present, the school is asking Peter to pay for Thompson's medical expenses. At the same time, he was fined to write an examination and do community service."

Gwen sighed and replied: "The premise is that Thompson does not pursue it. If Thompson insists on pursuing it, Peter may be punished."

"Damn it! Why didn't the school take such an active role when Thompson was usually bullying his classmates and domineering?"

Pooh said angrily, "How is Peter?"

"It doesn't look good."

Gwen replied honestly: "After class, when I passed the corridor, I vaguely saw him arguing with his uncle."

"No, I have to go see Peter."

Pooh thought for a while, then limped out.

"Hey, you just got home." Gwen tried to stop him.

"Gwen, honey! Whether it's really because of me..."

Pooh turned his head and said seriously: "I can't even let my brother bear it alone when he is in trouble."

"Oh my god, you boys who like to talk about brotherhood when you have nothing to do!"

Gwen said helplessly and moved: "Okay, I won't stop you, but you must be careful on the road. If you have any news, remember to send me a text message, and I will help you cover... Well, I will tell my parents later, saying that you Going to Harry's to do homework."

"Thank you, Gwen, you are an angel!"

Pooh happily took her hand, leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, then turned around and started running limping.

"Slow down, slow down! Be careful, don't twist your legs again." Gwen chased after him and shouted a few times.

But Pooh continued to run staggeringly without looking back, and even waved her hands casually behind her head. She could only stamp her feet on the spot angrily and amusedly.

"What? Looking for Peter? Coincidentally, I'm looking for him too."

After Peter's uncle Ben opened the door, he said so sarcastically.

Pooh stared at him blankly.

"I also really want to know, where is Peter!"

Uncle Ben repeated to him angrily: "What's the matter with this kid? Is the rebellious period over? I called him more than a dozen times, but he didn't answer any of them."

"Sorry... I don't know."

Pooh blinked, a little bewildered.

"Ben, don't talk nonsense!" Aunt Mei pinned her angry husband from behind and said reproachfully, "You scared the child!"

Then, she turned her head again, smiled kindly, and thought about it: "Pooh, why are you here suddenly? Come in, do you want some juice?"

"Thank you, Aunt Mei." Pooh obediently followed her wishes, walked into the room, and sat on the sofa in the living room: "Actually..."

Because Uncle Ben was very angry, he tried to help Peter make a reasonable explanation, but he hesitated and said vaguely: "Uncle Ben, although I am not here this afternoon, it is not for nothing that Peter fights, he may be Because of defending me... Thompson... he doesn't like me."

"Is this a new excuse you came up with for him?"

Uncle Ben tilted his head, showing a very shrewd look of 'you can't hide it from me, this is left over from my play', and pretending to be serious: "Boy, when I was young, I would Lying for a friend in such a righteous way.”

Even though he was feeling uneasy, Pooh couldn't help but twitched the corners of his lips with the old man's proud expression reminiscing about the past.

But he still tried his best to explain: "No, it's not a lie. It's just that I... I'm a little different from other people. Uncle Ben, Thompson doesn't like me like this... He may think that I shouldn't exist... It's a bit It's complicated..."

Then, he paused again, not sure if he should just say that he was gay.

But considering this kind of thing, sometimes young people might not be able to accept it, let alone old people like Uncle Ben and Aunt Mei?

Pooh is having a hard time.

He rarely hides his sexuality, but he doesn't make it public either.However, in the face of strangers, it is actually easy to choose to be honest, because there is no need to consider the feelings of those strangers.But when facing someone he cares about, for example, the elders of his best friend, he will be afraid to tell the truth because of fear.

When he was struggling, Uncle Ben turned his head.

This kind old man with a bit of humor in his speech looked over with tolerance, and interrupted Pooh's next words very considerately: "My child, if it is a secret that is difficult to reveal, you have the right not to reveal it. , there's nothing wrong with that."

Then, he came over, patted Pooh on the shoulder gently and said: "Everyone has their own secrets, don't worry about it. As for Peter's fight, it has nothing to do with you. In fact, I am angry with Peter, not It's all because of the fight, but because of his own immaturity. Boy, you have to know that no matter what the reason for the fight is, a person should first learn to be responsible for his own actions. At the very least, he should not let us... I am Said, his relatives and friends are sitting here, worrying about him not coming home so late..."

"Ben, stop chatting. Before Peter comes back, you can eat something to fill your stomach." Aunt May wore an apron, smiled and brought out a large plate full of food from the kitchen, doing her duty Warmly entertain guests.

As she walked over, she nudged Ben lightly with her elbow and reminded, "Don't always lecture the guests, Ben, it's impolite."

Uncle Ben made an excuse: "I didn't preach, well, maybe a little... Sorry, boy, don't pay attention to the occasional annoying nagging of an old man."

"No, what you said makes sense." Pooh laughed.

"Look, I'll just say it! It's helpful to listen to what the old man has to say." Uncle Ben immediately showed a smug expression.

He winked mischievously at Pooh, and praised: "You are more obedient than Peter, and you know more about things, good boy."

Pooh was amused by him.

He suddenly envied Peter a little bit. Although he also had no parents, it was nice to have such lovely relatives.

So, when Peter finally came home and opened the door, he saw Pooh and his uncle and aunt sitting at the dining table, the happy scene of "a family of three" talking and laughing happily.

However, when the three people saw him, their smiles disappeared immediately, as if he was an outsider, an extra 'inexplicable intruder' who spoiled the atmosphere.

wtf? ? ? ? ?

Peter looked at them anxiously: what happened while I was away?

"Don't you apologize, Peter?" Uncle Ben took the lead to break the silence: "We are all waiting for you and worried about you."

Peter was in a bad mood, and whispered to himself: "Worried? I really didn't see it..."

"Peter, what are you mumbling about?"

"I'm apologizing." Peter raised his head while struggling with exhaustion, "I apologize, I shouldn't be coming home so late. But..."

Because he really couldn't lose his temper with Uncle Ben, he was upset and turned to Pooh, "Why are you at my house?"

But Uncle Ben immediately accused him of dissatisfaction, "Peter, what tone are you talking about? Are you questioning? Can't you see that your friend is worried about you?"

Pooh felt a little embarrassed.He only thought that he should accompany his friend through the difficult period, but never thought that maybe the friend just wanted to be alone at this time and didn't want to see himself.

So, he explained in a weak tone: "Uh... I heard about what happened in the afternoon, so..."

"God!"

Peter covered his forehead with his hands: "Why did I get into a fight, the whole world knows! Pooh, what are you doing here to join in the fun?"

"Peter."

Ben looked at him angrily and disappointedly: "Your friend cares about you, is this your attitude?"

"Caring about me, you ran to my house and ate all the cake and dinner left for me, are you here to care about me?" Peter yelled, pointing at the table.

Pooh blinked and replied reflexively: "... Shall I pay you back a cake tomorrow?"

"Why pay it back? Peter, I made the cake and dinner! I can give it to whoever I like!"

Aunt Mei was the first to protest, but she couldn't bear Peter's grievance and added: "Peter, if you want to eat, I can make it for you."

"No, it's not about the cake! My God..."

Peter waved his hands wildly, speaking incoherently, not knowing what to say.

Ben looked at his wife and Pooh speechlessly, and brought the topic back on track: "Listen, Peter. Maybe you are in adolescence, or rebellious, but you have to know that no matter what you do, you should do it for yourself." Be responsible for your own actions, instead of venting your anger on others. This should have been said by your father, but now he has no way to tell you, so I can only tell you..."

"Okay, you're right, you're right! But where is my dad?"

Peter said angrily, "Since he's supposed to tell me, stop and let him tell! You're not my father!"

"Peter, how could you do this?" A look of hurt flashed across Ben's face.

But the next moment, Peter glanced hastily over everyone, turned around and ran out suddenly.

"He didn't mean it, Uncle Ben, I promise."

Pooh stood up in a hurry: "I'll go find him now and ask him to apologize to you."

"I will go with you."

Ben took one of the coats, walked out, and explained to Peter in a rambling manner: "Don't pay attention to what he said just now, boy, he is definitely talking nonsense. Of course I know he didn't mean it. Understand the kindness of that child. Even if he really tried to hurt people with words just now, in his heart, he must have been guilty of guilt. Pooh, sometimes people are like this, impulsiveness and anger often bring A double-edged sword."

Then, this stubborn and cute old man turned his head again, and began to reflect thoughtfully: "Actually..."

He hesitated and asked: "Should I just save a little face for him in front of his friend... that is, you?"

Pooh burst out laughing.
