My parents still didn't agree to my request to try out for the football team.
Clark walked out of the house dejectedly with his schoolbag on his back, and he looked around.
There were clear tire marks on the dirt road in front of the farm, and the school bus was probably almost at school at this time.
"You can't show anything unusual in front of others, but it's okay as long as no one sees it."
Clark curled his lips and put on his backpack. His body flashed and disappeared from the spot. He rushed into the endless cornfield at a speed faster than a bullet, bringing up a strong gust of air.
Seen from the sky, the green waves were being quickly parted as if directed by Moses' staff.
laugh!
Except for a few words between the school bus driver and a person whose car broke down on the road and asked if they needed help, some time was wasted.
The school bus drove smoothly all the way and stopped on time in front of the town's high school.
Students got off the school bus one after another and walked into the campus in twos and threes.
After getting out of the car, David glanced at a sign with a meteorite pattern in the distance, which was weathered, old and faded.
[Welcome to Smallville Town——The World's Meteorite Capital]
More than ten years ago, a wave of meteorite showers landed in this small town, bringing disaster but also opportunities.
The people in the town tried to seize the selling point of being the meteorite capital and turn the town into a tourist destination to make it prosperous.
However, it is not difficult to understand the result if you look at the road that can be crossed in a few steps on the main road of the town and the low buildings that can be seen everywhere.
David withdrew his gaze, put his hands in his pockets casually and walked towards the campus where cherry blossoms were blooming in spring.
"The city of meteorites, Clark will suffer in the future."
The so-called meteorite is the kryptonite that came to Earth in the Sons of Krypton space capsule.
"As we all know, Kryptonite is Superman's fatal weakness. Once exposed, it can cause pain and weakness in the short term, or fatal death in the long term."
A small green stone can make the god of human beings who has the power to move continental plates kneel down helplessly.
When he grew up, he paid a little attention and found that there were a lot of kryptonite in this town. To exaggerate, he might even kick out two pieces while walking on the road. He believed that in the future, the various villains who opposed Superman would never have to worry about where to find kryptonite.
Chloe and Pete followed them out of the car, and the two men caught up, and the three of them walked into the campus together.
"Hi, good morning, Chloe, Pete."
Clark, wearing jeans and a classic thick blue plaid shirt, appeared from nowhere, holding a few books, trying to pretend that he had arrived early, and greeted the two.
"Didn't David say you were in the back?"
Chloe activated her 'Strange Radar' and looked confused.
How come Clark, who missed the school bus, arrived at school before them?
"I took a shortcut and set out early.
David didn't see it."
Clark remembered what David said in the morning that had ruined his plan.
Although David hadn't reminded him and it was unlikely that he would get his parents' consent, he still put his arm around David's shoulders in dissatisfaction, and scolded his brother who had become expressionless with a smile.
"You know, David never paid much attention to me."
"real?"
The two men looked at David with their suspicions not diminished at all.
They remembered that David had clearly said that Clark had encountered some difficulties in getting his parents' consent to try out for the football team that morning, but he was still trying hard.
"Whatever."
David slapped Clark's hand away and walked into the campus first.
He began to think about the kryptonite he had collected in the past and whether he should pick out a small piece to carry with him.
To prevent a certain son of Krypton from using him to lie next time.
Clark, who had just done something bad, breathed a sigh of relief.
As a family member who lives with him day and night, David is fully aware of what makes him different from ordinary people.
Others may not know how he did it, but David certainly knows.
Luckily, David didn't reveal the secret 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 elder brother was extremely strong and faster than sound, and that he, as his younger brother, was just an ordinary guy, he never felt unbalanced.
However, there is not much benefit to this anomaly.
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, lost his balance and fell to the ground, with the books scattered all over the floor.
Whitney passed by with her arms around her girlfriend Lana and gave him a disdainful look.
Lana saw him fall and stopped to help him pick up the book. She glanced at the book in her hand and smiled.
"Thus spake Zarathustra, Nietzsche?"
"Clark, do you think you are a normal person or a superman?"
David glanced back at the sound.
His eyes swept over Lana's fair chest, where a green crystal necklace was hanging.
"I have no idea."
Clark turned his head away, not daring to face the kryptonite necklace, looking a little uncomfortable, and stuttered.
The Superman Lana mentioned was not referring to Clark's future hero code name.
Philosopher Nietzsche once proposed a philosophy on the definition of powerful human beings, naming those who are not bound by worldly rules and morals, transcend themselves, transcend ordinary people, have strong creativity and strong will as superman.
"Say kryptonite kryptonite to."
Touching his chin sympathetically, David temporarily gave up the idea of carrying kryptonite with him in the future.
The future Superman is already miserable enough. When facing his dream lover, he can't even talk to her freely because of the kryptonite necklace. Every time the person he secretly loves shows up, it is often the time for him to be embarrassed.
"let's go."
Seeing his girlfriend talking to Clark, Whitney was jealous, but because he did nothing in front of his girlfriend, he kissed Lana, hugged his shy girlfriend and left, leaving behind an embarrassed figure picking up the book on the ground.
"David?"
Clark heard footsteps and looked up. It was David coming over.
His eyes lit up, thinking his brother wanted to help him pick up the books.
"It's really miserable, Clark."
After saying this, David shook his head and left.
Faced with his brother's taunting for deliberately turning back, Clark was furious.
After picking up the books, the four of them walked into the building. Next to the lockers in the corridor, men and women with raging hormones were chatting eagerly. With every gesture they made, they tried their best to show off their charm and conquer the opposite sex in front of them and get them to accept their invitations.
"Spring is here."
Feeling the atmosphere in the school, David exclaimed.
"You mean the upcoming Spring Dance, David?"
Chloe blinked and asked, "Do you have a partner?"
"David has never been interested in this kind of thing."
Peter shrugged and invited, "Chloe, how about you be my dance partner, just as a friend."
Find a partner so that you two won't be too awkward at the dance.
"What about you, Clark?"
"…"
The four of them walked into the classroom chatting.
After studying for a morning, school is over at noon.
"David, hey, you're going home alone today"
Clark asked David to go home first, as if it was a serious matter.
"I'm going to the playground to accompany Pete to the tryout and to cheer him up."
"With Pete?"
Glancing him up and down, David sneered at what he said.
"I'm embarrassed to expose you, Clark."
After saying this, he put his hands in his pockets, turned around and walked away without paying any attention to Clark who was blushing and wanted to argue.
Get on the school bus.
David looked out the window at the scenery.
What's the point of watching Pete go for the tryout? Clark was just feeling amorous, so he used this as an excuse to go to the playground and watch Lana and her teammates practice cheerleading.
In this regard, he could only comment: he was asking for trouble.
There was not only a cheerleading team on the playground, but also a football team, full of dog food and vinegar, waiting for Clark there.
In the school bus, Chloe sat next to him, leaning over her schoolbag and quietly writing a manuscript.
The manuscript was in her usual style, with sharp words. It was an article about the football team - "Football: Sport or Barbarism", which was prepared to be published in the school newspaper.
There were few vehicles passing on the bridge, and the school bus driver was driving quickly and steadily.
I didn't notice a broken steel part lying on the asphalt road ahead where my car broke down that morning.
Chi!
The school bus was running smoothly when its tire was suddenly punctured and deflated.
Bang!
The car skidded uncontrollably and it was too late to turn the steering wheel sharply. With the driver's horrified expression, the school bus smashed through the bridge guardrail and rushed off the bridge.
The school bus was flying in the air.
"ah!"
Suddenly, they lost weight and their bodies flew up into the air. Everyone in the car screamed.
David's face changed.
Before the group of high school students could finish screaming, the school bus plunged into the water, causing a huge splash.
Gulp.
The heavy school bus weighing more than ten tons sank rapidly into the water.
The surging, icy river water rushed in quickly through the gaps in the car body, almost submerging 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 stood up quickly, screamed in fear, and banged on the windows.
Chloe turned pale with fear and was also shouting, even more frightened because she couldn't swim.
"I don't want to die, who can save me!"
An atmosphere of despair and terror spread rapidly in the car, and fear swept through everyone.
"Bad luck."
The water was above his waist and his clothes were soaked. David didn't look like he was in life-or-death crisis at all. He looked around and frowned.
