"Wei, the sun is out, get up quickly and go to school!"
"UmOK, OK, I get itMom, I get it!! It's not even 6 o'clock yet! I won't skip school!"
Ye Wei was woken up early in the morning, went for a morning jog, took a shower, had breakfast, and soon got on the yellow school bus and headed to the Harvard-Westlake Junior High School campus.
Harvard Westlake Junior High School attends school six days a week, from 8:00 to 15:15 every day, divided into nine hours of 40 minutes each, with a 5-minute break in between.
There is a whole-school assembly from 9:30 to 10:00 every Monday, a class meeting from 9:25 to 9:50 on Saturday, and activity time from Tuesday to Friday. This half hour can be used for club activities and intramural sports. Or just hang out and zone out.
Most people join clubs. There are more than 60 clubs in the junior high school created by students. Some of them are serious, such as peer support, environmental protection, animal rights and some are playful, such as food clubs and Doctor Who. Fan groups, sleepover clubs
Yes, the activity of the sleep-over club is to fall asleep on the table together.
Ye Wei also founded a club called "Dream Chasing League". The activities are held every Thursday. There are no fixed activities. You can do whatever you want every time. To put it bluntly, it's a prank!
The Dream Chaser Alliance has existed since the seventh grade, and there are five members in total. The reason why there are so few is because the admission is strict. He has friends all over the school, but only four close friends.
According to the phone calls they made, almost everyone in the school has been looking for him in the past two days, and he is now the most popular person in the school.
As soon as he stepped onto the school bus, there were cheers and cheers, and the students on the bus all greeted him: "Good morning, Wei!", "I heard that you were sick two days ago, are you okay now?"
Ye Wei smiled and sat in the last row. In just a few days, he had changed a lot. He didn't feel that he needed to be proud of this matter, but he wouldn't push away everyone's enthusiasm. Don't think so much, learn from it. It is a must. When it¡¯s time to embrace youth, embrace it.
"It's mainly because of my heart. I'm a little afraid that the principal will beat me, but with his memory, he should have forgotten what happened on Monday, right?"
"Hahaha!" There was laughter on the advancing school bus.
When we arrived at school, it didn¡¯t take long for the first class to begin.
Harvard-Westlake has a unique curriculum system. Students can arrange their own class schedules, but the five academic courses of English, history, mathematics, language and science must be taken five times a week, as well as art, physical education and other courses. After all courses are scheduled, the remaining free credit hours are called "X time", accounting for about 1/3 of the total credit hours.
?????
Ye Wei¡¯s course selection strategy is nothing special. If you are energetic in the morning, you will take academic classes. In the afternoon if you are tired, you will study arts, sports and other fun activities. Arrange an X time at noon for rest and lunch.
One morning, he obediently followed his class schedule and ran between classrooms.
Today is different from the past. With the educational experience of the next eight years in his dream, these middle school courses are not difficult for him. Everything feels like he has just learned it. So even if he is distracted, he would not understand what the teacher is saying before. What, now there will be no doubts.
??Look at the white girl at the table next to her. Every time the teacher talks about a key point, she has to write three or four pages of notes. She is afraid that she will not remember enough and refuses to stop writing for a second.
He held his head with one hand and twirled the pencil with the other hand, very relaxed, except for humming.
Probably noticing his gaze, the white girl glared at him angrily and muttered: "Can you share your IQ with me?"
"Hi, girl, I'm pretty sure based on your appearance, your IQ is enough." Ye Wei winked at her.
The white girl couldn't help but laugh, "Yi, you are such a bastard."
"Yes, I think so too."
She is one of the most common types of students at Harvard-Westlake. There is such a contradiction here. Some people work very hard and can study all night long just to get an A in the test the next day; others are arrogant, arrogant, and snobbish. , having fun comes first, just short of wearing clothes that say "My family is rich".
¡°There are only two types of students at Harvard-Westlake, one is the spoiled rich kids, and the other is the extremely smart Asian kids.¡±
This is a stereotype that the outside world has about it. Although it is a joke, it can basically explain what this school is about.
It?The tuition is super expensive, more than 20,000 US dollars per year, and various parent fundraising and donation activities are held. Rich parents wave money to make their children shine
On the other hand, the academic style is very strict, there are many homeworks, many tests, and the courses are very intensive.
So the higher you get to the senior grades, the fewer idiots you get. By the twelfth grade, the remaining students, even the spoiled kids, will have some skills. No wonder its Ivy League admissions rate and college admissions rate have been consistently high all year round. Ranked among the best among American high schools.
This place is like a small independent kingdom, with its own set of laws, both good and bad, which are very different from other schools.
And because there are many children of famous celebrities in the school, there are a lot of rich kids, just like "Beverly Over".
This casts a veil of mystery on it, making students from other schools keen on it, just like fans of other teams look at the wealthy teams in the league. Some people love it, some hate it, they admire it, disdain it, envy it, and despise it But everyone knows about it and talks about it.
Ye Wei was thinking about movies and listening to classes. The morning passed in a flash. When it was 12:15 noon, he went to the cafeteria immediately after class. He was hungry!
In fact, the school does not have a unified lunch time. Students eat in free time. They can bring their own lunch, or they can buy hot food in the canteen open from 7:30-15:30. Students can consume it with their ID cards, and then they can parents pay their bills every month.
So at any time during the school year, there will be people studying hard in the classroom, and at the same time, there will be people enjoying delicious food in the cafeteria.
Today¡¯s weather is particularly good. The sun is shining, but it¡¯s not poisonous at all. It¡¯s warm and pleasant. Harvard-Westlake is a campus built in the shade, full of lush green trees and old buildings with red roofs and white walls. The students show their youthful vitality, making the campus one of the most beautiful places in the world.
Because of the incident at Monday's assembly, Ye Wei is now the most popular person in the school. His sudden disappearance for two days is like a kind of "hunger marketing", which has taken this popularity to a higher level.
There are even rumors spreading, saying that he was fired, that he hid because of fear, that he went crazy with drugs that day, and is now lying in the hospital
When he showed up today, it caused a sensation.
"Hey, VIY! Are you okay? Just be fine."
"BOSS, where have you been these two days? You did a great job on Monday, haha!"
"Wei, I heard that the newly released "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is very scary. Let's go see it together this weekend?"
"This is my number, call me."
As Ye Wei walked on the road, many people took the initiative to greet him. The boys gave him brother-to-brother fist bumps, while the girls playfully gave him flirtatious looks and asked him out. There was even a hot blonde girl who directly stuffed a lightly scented note. Give him a mobile phone number and a pink lipstick.
He has never had a human flesh background before, but this is the first time he has done it to this extent.
No one doesn¡¯t like to be popular. The situation at home has stabilized temporarily, and Ye Wei is in a good mood. When he stepped into the spacious canteen, two guys who had been waiting at the door walked up to him laughing and called his name: "Wei, Wei!"
Seeing the two of them, Ye Wei couldn't help but sigh, brothers!
They are all members of the Dream Chaser Alliance. The tall, fat white man walking on the left is named Bud Masur, who is of Polish origin.
Today, Bud is wearing a blue oversized Hawaiian shirt and a pair of oversized medium pants, revealing his hairy calves. He has a shaved head, a silly smile on his chubby face, and a greasy mouth. He is eating A big hot dog.
The short and thin white man on the right is called Lev Pobil, who is of French descent.
He is dressed in a coquettish 1980s disco-style bright costume and has a ridiculous mustache on his long face. Because he is a nymphomaniac who has a heart for sex but not a courage for sex, and because he has a big nose, he spends his days singing the classic French love tragedy "The Big Nose". Cyrano, the protagonist of "The Saint of Love", thinks he is.
"You are so cool on Monday! Why did you show up today!" As soon as Lev arrived, he performed an exaggerated knightly salute and knelt down on one knee, "My king, please accept my humble worship!"
The students around him walked by with smiles. Ye Wei pretended to be serious and said, "I will give you the glory." Then he asked with a smile, "Where are Kerwin and Chen Nuo?"
"They knew you were coming back today and said you would be surrounded by many people. They didn't want to deal with that kind of scene, so they just took the food and ran away. You're a worthless idiot."
Ye Wei nodded, the introversion of those two guys was a problem.
Lev's eyes were shining, as if he was immersed in some fantasy, "Believe me, man, there will be many hot beauties who will fall in love with you, and they will eat you alive What happened on this year's homecoming dayIt won't happen again because you're cooler than James Dean! "
Bud kept saying YES and finished the whole hot dog in a while, "Brother Wei, what do you want? I'll get it for you."
¡°It¡¯s better for me to take it myself, so as not to only have half of it left.¡±
Ye Weixiao said, and then something suddenly occurred to his mind. He recalled that in his dream, after he moved and changed schools, it was not only him who had a bad life, but also these buddies.
Without his protection, they were bullied by school bullies and became more and more withdrawn, like tattered bears abandoned in a corner.
During his senior year, Kerwin entered a mental hospital; Chen Nuo became a highly myopic otaku, addicted to the world of online games; Lev was arrested for stealing women's underwear while participating in a streaking festival and went to jail. After being released from prison, he was disheartened and left the United States to become a monk in the Shaolin Temple in China.
After graduating from high school, Bud lost news and seemed to disappear from the world. It was not until several years later that everyone saw new news about him on TV.
It turned out that he had been a homebody for four years, overeating every day, and turned into a super fat man who had difficulty moving. He had to go to the hospital because he was sick, but the medical staff couldn't move him into a white car, and in the end they had to call the firefighters. Just moved him out of the house.
Because Ye Wei was too busy taking care of himself, although he was extremely heartbroken about the situation of his friends, he could not do anything.
But it¡¯s different now. He feels that he has the responsibility to keep them on the right track and let the good things now continue into the future. Thinking of this, Ye Wei became serious: "Bud, seriously, you can't eat so much, you have to learn moderation."
Bud immediately shouted aggrievedly: "But I'm just hungry!"
The three of them chatted and walked towards the long dining table where the aroma of vegetables was spreading. Lev did not participate in the topic of how much Bud should eat, and kept talking to himself:
"Brother Wei, it's time to recruit new members to our club. There will definitely be a lot of people coming these days. We have to carefully select we only recruit beauties, even those with big breasts, hehe wait until they are promoted to high school. , we still have such a society By the way, Brother Wei, where is the post-production of that short film? Will it be in time to participate in next year's film festival? "
Not only his friends, Ye Wei knew that his parents were also looking forward to his performance at the film festival, so this matter could not be delayed. He thought about it, the deadline for submission of works was at the end of December, and there was still a lot of time, so he replied : "No problem, don't worry."
"Okay, when we are more impressive at the film festival, we will be very worried about which girl to choose as his girlfriend." Lev said and couldn't help but let out a series of evil laughs.
While talking, the three of them received different plates of food, walked to a clean empty table on the side and sat down, chatting while eating.
Bader was basically eating, and Lev basically said: "Brother Wei, it's up to you. Many people are preparing to participate, and there will definitely be a fierce competition. John Williams, that guy has made some noise recently, He said that the 'Most Popular Work' award will definitely go to him, hehe!"
John Williams, the son of a wealthy businessman, the quarterback of the second football team, the leader of a group of school bullies in the junior high school, a real bad scumbag, who loves to bully others the most.
Because the students who were bullied miserably by them would come to Ye Wei for protection, saying, "He is mine, don't touch him." So everyone had a lot of fun.
"Then he will go home crying." Ye Wei was very interested. In the dream, he finally did not participate due to family changes, and soon transferred to another school. Later, he no longer cared about this matter.
But now, he said with a smile: "As long as I participate, no one can win the grand prize except us."
"Of course, of course!" Bud excitedly gnawed on a burger.
"Look, that guy is right there!" Lev pursed his lips, and the two of them turned to look towards the long platform.
