What is it like to study at Midtown High School?

"Ellen, I can't believe it, you're going to high school." May looked at me, covering her mouth with one hand, as if she was about to cry.

I shrugged my shoulders and tried to pretend nothing had happened: "Hey, my dear mother, what are you worried about? You should know your son, I..."

Mei turned around and threw herself into Peter's arms: "Oh, Peter, you must take good care of him for me, I'm really worried."

Peter had a big smile on his face: "It's all right, Auntie, Ellen's already 15 years old. Besides, what can you worry about at Midtown High—even Dr. Octopus can't destroy it—I mean , and Mary Jane can keep an eye on him for us."

I sneered: "Let me remind you: you are only 16 years old, my cousin."

Peter didn't reply, but I saw him blink and throw a sentence: so what, I'm still a year older than you.

I, Alan Parker, 15 years old, about to enter Midtown High School, full of worries, not worried about the environment, not worried about grades, all troubles come from my dear cousin Peter Parker, your Spider-Man.

Before the age of seven, I was a carefree little boy, and Peter was just a clever, lively and sensible child from "other people's family" who occasionally appeared in Mei and Ben's mouth. We can meet each other during holiday family gatherings, fight for a small toy or something - most of the time I snatch his toys.

Until my mysterious uncle and aunt mysteriously disappeared, leaving behind a Peter Parker who was still smart, lively and sensible. Ben had a gloomy face for a week, dealt with quite a lot of formally dressed people, and then brought Peter back.Mei told me that my cousin is not here for vacation, and he will live in our house from now on.

Little Peter, who had just lost his parents, sat obediently on the stairs, without looking down at Ben who was seeing off the guests at the door. I walked over, pushed him, and then touched his head. Peter looked up at me without smiling. , but I feel he is better.

Little did I know then that Peter would be my entire childhood nightmare.

Peter inherited the genius of his biological parents and shamefully showed it in elementary school, showing off his homemade model airplane to Ben while I got beaten up by May for hiding my failing paper.

At the same time, Peter is very well-behaved and sensible. Whenever May takes the two of us out together, it is always Peter who smiles and greets everyone around him, but I inadvertently provoke the cats and dogs passing by, and then I am chased down the street. , the chase usually ends with me destroying a pair of pants.

You know, when there was no Peter, I was also a lively and lovely little boy. After he came, I became a troublesome troublemaker.Although May and Ben's love for me is not less because of this, when the neighbors on the whole street mentioned the two Parker boys, they all praised Peter, and shook their heads and sighed at Alan. This is a great harm to a young heart. of.

What's even more frightening is that Peter and I have been in the same school since elementary school. Even though I was a grade lower than Peter, various people would always come up to me and say: Oh, you are the younger brother of that genius boy! , do you have any special skills, show us a hand... huh?No, how is it possible?Really not?tsk tsk...

Tsk your sister!Flip table (╯‵口′)╯︵┻━┻

The kind and simple Peter is indifferent to all this, or rather, he is unaware of all this. He is still the innocent and good American boy, standing at the school gate waiting for me to come home from school, regardless of the weather. .

After finally graduating from junior high school, for the sake of physical and mental health, I resolutely decided not to be the boy behind Peter with a worn schoolbag and a worn coat, so I applied for a high school different from Peter’s. Unexpectedly, this decision was rejected by everyone. family objected.

The first one who couldn't accept it was Peter. The boy stood blankly at the door of my room, and asked cautiously: "Alan, why are you determined not to choose the city high school? I have been waiting for you for a year, and I know the scores of the city. It may be a little higher than other schools, but with your grades, it is not impossible for you to pass the exam. If you are worried that you will not pass the exam, I can help you with tutoring..."

Touch—the rest of Peter's words were locked out of the room by me.If there were any glaring flaws in Peter Perfect Boy Parker, chatter would be at the top of this list.

The second one who expressed incomprehension was Mei.

My dear mother lectured me like a lion roaring in the east of the river: "What? Don't go to Midtown High? Then where do you want to go?! You can turn the world upside down a kilometer away from me, you son of a bitch, no Peter I can feel at ease looking at you? I’m studying at Midtown Middle School, and I’ve asked Peter to fill out the application for you, don’t move! Don’t change! Don’t pretend to cry!”

Then she smashed the bacon with a spatula and threw it on my plate.

I was fighting like a mouse, and I still conveyed a weak resistance: "You are undemocratic, and it violates the core values ​​of capitalism!"

"Democracy?" Mei snorted coldly, "You are not a citizen until you can guarantee that you will not cause trouble for 24 hours!"

May crushed my first uprising mercilessly, and not even an hour of meeping in front of Ben's picture could save the day and inspire May.

Mei sat on the sofa in a daze, silently watching the TV and weeping, even though it was playing "Fifty Moments When The Avengers Got Embarrassed".

I lay in ambush behind the sofa and listened to her mumbling, and found that what she was muttering was: "Old Ben, I'm sorry for failing to teach Alan well. It's been less than a year since you left, and he wanted to Leaving us (huh?), I'm really useless, you clearly confessed at the beginning, Alan is a child who refuses to be disciplined, so we must take good care of him, but he has grown up and his wings are hard, I can't control it Well, he doesn't want to go to the same school as Peter..."

I was dizzy and speechless after what I said, Peter stood quietly behind me again, and said quietly: "Uncle Ben told me to take good care of you."

With a cold war, I threw myself at Mei's feet and proclaimed the failure of the first uprising by bending forward in frustration.

In this way, my mother and cousins ​​used my father as the ultimate weapon to send me to Midtown High.

Perhaps because he was afraid that I would be unhappy, Peter showed great enthusiasm for guiding me to enroll. On the first day of registration, he took me around the school, pointed out all the buildings for me one by one, and introduced friends to the school. Me: "I won't talk about Mary Jane. This is Harry, you have met. You may not be familiar with these few, Sam, Danny, Ava and Luke."

They also greeted me enthusiastically. I noticed that some of them had weird expressions. I looked at me and then at Peter, and then smiled subtly.But the big dark-skinned boy named Luke patted me on the shoulder: "Ha, Peter's cousin, could it be another Peter Parker?"

I laughed and rubbed my shoulders that were about to break, and thought: No, at most it is another Rocky Odinson.

Sam: I heard your brother is going to high school?

Peter: Yeah, I enrolled him in Midtown High.

Sam: Hey, you're together then, how does your brother feel?

Peter: It's okay, I saw him scratching the wallpaper at the head of the bed excitedly!
