Marvel's The Force Awakens

"To be honest, that was the stupidest thing I've ever seen you do." A familiar voice said behind Peter.

He turned around and saw that it was Mary.She had a dumbfounded look on her face, with a hint of worry in it. "Thompson has been so embarrassed this time. He will not forget it easily."

"I guess that's about it." Peter grinned. "Aren't you going to cheerleading training?"

"Cancelled." Mary arranged her hair. "Both Susan and Anriya are on sick leave and can't train. How about we walk home together?"

"Okay, no problem." Peter hesitated for a moment, but couldn't find any reason to refuse.

"Why, are they causing trouble for you about me?"

"Well, that's not the case." Peter touched his nose, and Mary smiled.

"Forget it, your ability to lie has always been so bad. I'm sorry that I have implicated you." Mary felt a little helpless. "That guy Thompson is not that bad in nature. But his behavior is indeed too much."

"It doesn't matter," Peter said casually. "For you, no trouble is nothing."

Peter suddenly realized what he had said, and his face turned red. Mary didn't respond at all, which made him let out a sigh of relief and feel a little disappointed.However, on the side that he didn't notice, Mary's face suddenly changed from surprise at the beginning to blushing later.

The two sides walked in silence for several minutes before Mary took the initiative to break the silence.

"Right." It was as if she suddenly remembered something that excited her, and the light in her eyes seemed to light up. "Number 17 next month, are you free? After dinner, around eight to nine o'clock. If I remember correctly, it should be Saturday."

"I'm not sure. It's still a month and a half away from now. Is there something wrong?"

"Hehe" Mary's green eyes were full of cunning and pride. "My cousin's band finally agreed to let me join, and NO.17 is my first time performing on stage."

"Well, I just found a job. There may be a conflict in time." Peter was a little embarrassed. This time he really didn't mean to make excuses.

"I don't care" Mary pouted, slightly unhappy. "This is my first time performing on stage. Even if you ask for leave, you still have to come. You know, it has always been my dream to join a band."

"Okay, okay, okay." Peter raised his hands. "I'll try my best. But to be honest, my boss is not an easy person to talk to, so I can't guarantee it."

But Mary's face lit up again, and Peter breathed a sigh of relief.Although he doesn't like to go to any concerts, it's not a big deal to go and see them.I don't know if it was his misunderstanding, but Mary seemed to have a much better attitude toward him today.Usually when the two of them meet, they only chat for a few words at most.

But even so, the conversation between them quickly reached an impasse during the rest of the journey home.There are really too few topics in common between them.It was torture for both of them to have Peter discuss rock and roll and make-up, and Mary discuss science fiction.The journey home was only fifteen minutes, but to Peter it felt like almost a century.

Finally turning the last corner, Uncle Ben and Aunt May's house was a few more steps away, and Mary's house was just before that.Before they could get closer, Peter and Mary heard a noise coming from inside the house.After a while, the sound suddenly disappeared again.

Two big men walked out of the door, and Mary's father followed them out with an apologetic smile on his face and a dark circle under his eye.Peter clearly felt that Mary's body beside him stiffened, and her face turned pale.

"Brothers, you must rest assured. I will definitely hand over the remaining balance next month." Mary's father had a smile on his face, and the dark circles under his eyes made him look a little funny.But those two people obviously didn't buy his account.

"This is not about money." The big man said angrily. "You've been avoiding us for a week, and then you've tried to deceive us with low-level lies. If this happens next month, it's not going to end with one punch."

Mary's father quickly nodded in agreement, while Peter and Mary hid under the shadow of the big tree on the street, and did not dare to approach until the two big men left.And when Mary's father saw Mary, his sad smile turned into a sinister scowl just like in a drama.

"Get inside, now" he spat on the ground after saying these words.Mary's body trembled slightly, then she lowered her head and walked towards the door.

Peter whispered goodbye, but he wasn't sure whether Mary heard him because she didn't even look back.Mary's father glanced at him with disdain in his eyes.He directly grabbed Mary's shoulders and walked into the house quickly.Not long after, the quarrel came from the door again.

As the door closed, Peter's happy mood after chasing away the bully suddenly deteriorated, and when he reached the door, his mood became even worse.

"Oh my God" Aunt May rushed over as soon as she opened the door, picked Peter up in her arms and dragged him through the door. "Which bastard beat this? I must go to his home and let their parents see what kind of person their child is."

& nbs

p;"No, Aunt May." Peter lied weakly, and he had almost forgotten the excuse he had thought of before. "It's just that I had a little accident in gym class."

Aunt Mei suddenly became unhappy. "Young man, I don't remember teaching you the bad habit of lying when I brought you up."

When Aunt May was angry, there was no one in the house who could match her, and within a few minutes Peter had told everything that had happened that afternoon.Of course, he didn't reveal any of his strange feelings.This matter is really weird. Before he figures it out, the fewer people know about it, the better.

In a short time, all the large and small bruises on Peter's body were wiped with medicine, and his range of activities was restricted to his bed.Aunt Mei brought his dinner.

"Before you go to the hospital for a check-up, don't make any big moves." Aunt Mei still had a serious look on her face when she came up to collect the plates, completely ignoring Peter's various protests. "It would be really troublesome if I get hurt by moving around."

It was almost impossible to see anything from the bed, but Peter didn't really care.For him, as long as there are books or TV, it is enough.What he was worried about now was his physical condition, but since the fight ended, that strange feeling had never appeared again.But Peter still vaguely felt its existence in his body, but he didn't know how to guide it out.

Another thing he worried about was Mary's father.He had been drinking heavily since Mary's father divorced her mother, and was said to have gotten into something more serious.And judging from the looks of the two people just now, he might have owed the gang a lot of money.

Peter sighed. He was probably the only person in the school who knew that this was the case in the school beauty's family.In front of outsiders, Mary always looks extremely glamorous, as if she has had a perfect life since she was born.

But to be honest, Mary's family situation is not something he should care about or worry about.

The door downstairs was opened again. Looking at the time, it should be time for Uncle Ben to come back from get off work.After a while, Peter heard footsteps going upstairs, and soon the door to his own room was opened, and Uncle Ben, who looked quite tired, walked in, but there was a light in his eyes.

"I heard you had a fight in school today."

"Well, there was a fight."

Uncle Ben pulled out the chair beside the bed and sat down with a serious look on his face.

"You fight three people alone"

"That's right." Peter lowered his head slightly. Although Uncle Ben was usually very kind, when he became serious, he could be said to be the most stubborn person Peter knew.He didn't want to get into trouble at this time.

"Yes, I thought I would never see this day come in my life." Uncle Ben's face broke out with the happiest smile Peter had ever seen.

"Eh" Peter was a little confused. Uncle Ben patted him hard on the shoulder twice, bringing him back to reality. "I believe you didn't start this fight first."

Peter shook his head, and Uncle Ben's smile widened.

"Peter, you are very smart and more sensible than your peers. But I have always been worried about your character. I am afraid that you will be too cowardly in the future and dare not protect yourself or others you value." Uncle Ben laughed. twice. "It seems I don't have to worry about one of your two shortcomings."

"Uncle Ben, is this really okay?" Peter said weakly. Aunt Mei's eyebrows at the door had already been furrowed, and she was about to get angry at any time.

Uncle Ben sat down next to Peter, with a look of relief on his face. "What's wrong, let me tell you, you have to resist those bullies. Only by resisting will they give you the most basic respect. Otherwise, those bastards will keep stepping on you."

Aunt Mei, who couldn't bear it anymore, rushed into the room, grabbed Uncle Ben's ears, and dragged him out of the door, complaining constantly.

"How did you teach Peter such a bad thing as violence? Why do you praise him?"

"That child has grown up. He should learn how to protect himself."

"You are encouraging him to fight. What if something happens to him? He is so thin."

"He just beat three boys of the same age who were much older than him until their noses were bruised and their eyes were swollen. I want him to use his strengths."

"Are you sure you believe him? Maybe it was just made up by that poor kid. I still have to go to school to take a look tomorrow."

"Hey, who doesn't trust him now? Has Peter ever lied to you about big things since he was a kid?"

The quarrels between Aunt May and Uncle Ben kept coming from outside the door.Peter put the book aside and closed his eyes.Although it was not even nine o'clock in the evening, he still felt waves of fatigue coming over him, and there seemed to be a warm current flowing through his body.The pain in the parts of the body it passes through seems to be reduced a lot.

Just like that, Peter gradually fell asleep.

The next morning, when Peter got up to take a shower, he was surprised to find that the scars on the left and right sides of his body had disappeared.
