Chapter 4 Clark, I’m embarrassed to expose you

My parents still refused to accept the request to join the football team.

Clark went out dejectedly, carrying his schoolbag, and took a look.

On the dirt road in front of the farm, tire tracks were clearly visible. The school bus was probably approaching the school at this time.

"You can't show your abnormality in front of others, as long as no one sees it."

Clark curled up his lips and picked up his schoolbag. His body disappeared in a flash, and he rushed into the stretching cornfield. His speed was faster than the bullets coming out of the barrel, causing a strong wave of air.

Seen from the sky, the green waves are quickly separated by the fingers of Moses' staff.

laugh!

Except in the middle, the school bus driver chatted with a person whose car broke down halfway and asked if he needed help, which wasted some time.

The school bus drove slowly and stopped on time in front of the small town high school.

The students got off the school bus one after another and walked to the campus in twos and threes.

After getting out of the car, David glanced at a sign with a meteorite pattern in the distance, weathered and faded.

[Welcome to the small town of Smallville—the meteorite capital of the world]

More than ten years ago, a wave of meteorite rain landed in this small town, bringing disaster as well as opportunity.

The people in the small town are trying to seize the selling point of the Meteor City and become a tourist destination to make the town prosperous.

However, looking at the road that can be crossed in a few steps on the main road of the town and the low-rise buildings that can be seen everywhere, it is not difficult to know the result.

David withdrew his gaze and casually put his pockets in his pockets and walked towards the campus where the cherry blossoms were in bloom in spring.

"In the city of meteorites, some Clarks will suffer in the future."

The so-called meteorite is the kryptonite that came to Earth with the Son of Krypton space capsule.

"As we all know, kryptonite is Superman's Achilles' heel. Once exposed, it will cause pain and weakness in the short term, and fatal death in the long term."

A small green stone can make a human god who is powerful enough to move continental plates fall to his knees helplessly.

When he grew up, he noticed that there was a lot of kryptonite in this town. To exaggerate, he might even kick out two pieces while walking on the road. I believe that the various villains who will fight against Superman in the future will never have to worry about where to find kryptonite. stone.

Chloe and Peter got out of the car, and the two of them caught up, and the three of them walked into the campus together.

"Hi, good morning, Chloe, Pete."

Wearing jeans and a classic thickened blue plaid shirt, Clark appeared out of nowhere, holding a few books, trying to pretend that he had arrived early, and greeted the two of them.

"Didn't David say you were behind?"

Chloe's 'Oddity Radar' activated, with a confused look on her face.

Why did Clark, who missed the school bus, arrive at school before them?

“I took a shortcut and set off early.

David didn't see it. "

Clark remembered that David's words in the morning had ruined his plans.

Although there was no reminder from David and it was unlikely that he would get his parents' consent, he still hugged David's shoulders in displeasure and scolded his expressionless brother with a smile.

"You know, David never really cares about me."

"real?"

The two of them looked at David with suspicion unabated.

They remembered that David clearly said that Clark had to ask his parents for permission to participate in the football team selection in the morning. He encountered some difficulties and was determined to fight for it.

"Whatever."

After slapping Clark's hand away, David took the lead in walking towards the campus.

He began to think about whether he should pick out a small piece of the kryptonite he had collected before and carry it with him.

To prevent a certain son of Krypton from lying to him casually next time.

Clark, who had just done something bad, breathed a sigh of relief.

What makes him different from ordinary people is clear to David as a family member who lives together day and night.

Others didn't know how he did it, but David certainly knew.

Fortunately, David didn't reveal it as expected. After all, his younger brother has always been very mature.

Looking at his brother's back, Clark smiled.

Even though he discovered that his brother was extremely powerful and faster than his voice, as a younger brother he was ordinary and there was never any imbalance in his heart.

However, this anomaly doesn't do much good.

Thinking of this, his eyebrows drooped again.

"Hiss..."

Suddenly, Clark's strength seemed to be drained away in an instant. He felt weak and uncomfortable. He lost his balance and fell to the ground. The books were scattered on the ground.

Whitney passed by with his girlfriend Lana in his arms and cast a contemptuous look.

Seeing him fall, Lana took the initiative to stop and help him pick up the book, looked at the book in her hand and smiled.

"Thus says Zarathustra, Nietzsche?"

"Clark, do you think you are an ordinary person or a superman?"

Hearing the sound, David glanced back.

His eyes glanced at Lana's white chest, where a green crystal necklace hung.

"I have no idea."

Turning his head, not daring to face the kryptonite necklace, Clark looked a little uncomfortable and stuttered.

The Superman in Lana's mouth does not refer to Clark's future hero codename.

The philosophy of the definition of powerful human beings proposed by the philosopher Nietzsche named people who are not bound by secular rules and morals, who transcend themselves and ordinary people, who are creative and strong-willed, as Superman.

"Say Kryptonite Kryptonite has arrived."

Touching his chin sympathetically, David temporarily gave up the idea of ​​carrying Kryptonite with him in the future.

The future Superman is miserable enough. When facing the lover of his dreams, he can't even talk to him freely because of the kryptonite necklace. Every time the person he has a crush on appears, he is often embarrassed.

"let's go."

Seeing his girlfriend and Clark taking the initiative to talk, Whitney was filled with jealousy, but since he didn't do anything in front of his girlfriend, he kissed Lana, hugged his shy girlfriend and left, leaving behind an embarrassed figure. Books on the floor.

"David?"

There were footsteps, and Clark looked up and saw David walking over.

His eyes lit up, thinking that his brother was going to pick up books for him.

"It's so miserable, Clark."

After saying a few words, David shook his head and left.

Facing his younger brother's deliberate return of ridicule, Clark was furious.

After picking up the books, the four of them walked into the building. Beside the lockers in the corridor, men and women with restless hormones were chatting eagerly. They were trying their best to show their charm, conquer the opposite sex in front of them, and agree to their invitation.

"Spring is coming."

Feeling the atmosphere in the school, David sighed.

"You mean the spring dance that's coming up? David."

Chloe blinked and asked, "Do you have a dance partner?"

"David has never been interested in this kind of thing."

Peter shrugged and invited, "How about you become my dance partner, Chloe, as a pure friend."

Get a partner, and the two of you won't have to be too embarrassed at the dance.

"What about you Clark?"

"..."

The four of them walked into the classroom chatting.

After studying all morning, school was over at noon.

"David, cough, you are going home alone today."

Clark asked David to go home first, which seemed to be serious.

"I went to the playground to accompany Pete for the selection and encourage him."

"With Pete?"

Glancing at him up and down, David sneered.

"I'm embarrassed to expose you, Clark."

After saying this, ignoring Clark who was blushing and wanting to argue, he put his pocket in his pocket and turned around to leave.

Get on the school bus.

David looked out the window at the scenery.

Why did Clark want to watch Pete go to the tryout? Clark was so excited that he used this excuse to watch Lana and her team members practice cheerleading at the playground.

In this regard, he could only comment that he was asking for trouble.

There are not only cheerleaders but also a football team on the playground, full of dog food and vinegar, waiting for Clark there.

In the school bus, Chloe sat next to her, leaning on her schoolbag and writing quietly.

The manuscript was in line with her usual style, with sharp words. It was an article about the rugby team - "Rugby: Sport or Savagery", which was to be published in the school newspaper.

There were few vehicles on the bridge, and the school bus driver drove quickly and smoothly.

He never noticed that on the asphalt road ahead, where the car broke down that morning, there was a broken steel part lying there.

Chi!

The school bus, which was running smoothly, suddenly had its tires punctured.

Bang!

The car skidded uncontrollably, and it was too late to turn the steering wheel. The school bus smashed the bridge guardrail under the driver's horrified expression and rushed off the bridge.

The school bus flew through the air.

"ah!"

Suddenly weightless, the body jumped up, and everyone in the car screamed.

David's expression changed.

Before the group of high school students could finish screaming, the school bus plunged into the water, causing a huge splash.

Gudongdong.

The heavy school bus, which weighed more than ten tons, quickly sank to the bottom of the water.

The turbulent and cold river water quickly got in through the gaps in the car body, and almost covered the knees in the blink of an eye.

"Help, help!"

The people in the school bus didn't care that they were dizzy from the fall. They quickly stood up, screamed in fear, and patted the car windows.

Chloe turned pale with fright and was shouting. She was even more frightened because she couldn't swim.

"I don't want to die, who can save me!"

The atmosphere of despair and terror spread rapidly in the car, and fear swept through everyone.

"Tough luck."

The water was up to his waist and his clothes were soaked. David didn't look like he was in a life-or-death crisis. He looked around and frowned.
