Volume 1: First Arrival Chapter 030: Feint to the East and Attack in the West
"It seems that you may need a little help from Judge Judy. How about you call the hotline now?"
He chewed the food slowly and casually, accompanied by the sound of smacking the flesh, just like an enthusiastic crowd watching the watermelon being eaten and ready to lend a helping hand.
The intrusion of this uninvited guest easily broke the ice and upset the balance.
The three girls, including Anna, focused their attention on the source of the sound, but before they could feel happy, alertness and vigilance quickly filled their eyes:
Dressed in a suit and tie, mature and steady.
No matter how you look at it, they seem to be Callum's accomplice, and the situation is getting worse and worse. The other two girls approach Anna nervously, and the three of them rely on each other for warmth.
Kirk didn't mind at all. He took another bite of the bagel, stuffing his cheeks with food, and then pointed at the bagel with his left index finger, "Do you want any? I can guarantee that this is definitely one of the top five bagels in New York. You shouldn't miss it. Callum will pay for it."
Three girls: ???
Kirk didn't get an answer, so he shrugged. "It's your loss. It seems that we should focus on the business. Is there anyone willing to tell me what happened here?"
Callum seemed to have found a backer. He completely forgot to ask Kirk why he was here. He just kept talking. "Anna actually skipped classes to buy an evening gown for the prom. The problem is not that the prom is still two months away, but that she is still in the eleventh grade and has nothing to do with the prom. What on earth is she so excited about..."
"Who says eleventh graders can't go to the prom? If the graduates invite us, we can go. Don't talk nonsense if you haven't experienced ." Anna retorted without giving in.
Seeing that Callum was about to fight back reflexively, Kirk interrupted his partner's words, "Absolutely right, the graduates have the final say."
Anna looked at Kirk with joy on her face, with an incredible look in her eyes. She was very surprised that Kirk was her teammate.
Callum looked at Kirk in astonishment, and subconsciously wanted to question Kirk, but with the last bit of reason, he pulled himself back and controlled himself -
He is not an aggressive type by nature. He has short golden hair that reaches his ears and is soft and fluffy. He usually looks like a big smiling golden retriever.
Kirk showed no sign of panic and stuffed the last bite of bagel into his mouth. "But you're here to pick out a dress now, so you've been invited?"
Anna: ...
It was obvious that Kirk's question hit the nail on the head. Anna was a little flustered, but at the same time, a blush appeared on her cheeks. It was obvious that she was thinking of her lover. The girl's mind was as crystal clear yet fragile.
"Yes... no, but he will... I mean, not yet, but he will soon..."
"He asked me to borrow his biology notes today, and thanked me for the towel I gave him last week. He also said he saw me cheering for him during the game."
He spoke incoherently, yet anxiously, and could not wait to present all the trivial evidence, but deep down he was still feeling uneasy.
Excited and nervous, excited and nervous, the conflicting emotions collided and entangled with each other, making it difficult to separate.
Kirk glanced at the two girls beside Anna and noticed their uneasiness and panic. He thought:
In fact, Anna just had a crush on that boy. She lacked confidence and was full of anxiety. She was hesitant about the graduation dance. Although she was looking forward to it, she remained cautious. However, with what happened today, her friends had already become very excited and could not wait to encourage Anna to go out and find an evening dress.
As a result, he was caught by Callum.
Judging from the comprehensive information, Anna is not a student who would skip classes normally, so Callum was particularly shocked when he saw Anna.
Likewise, Anna reacts particularly violently, trying to defend herself, trying to prove that occasionally going off the rails is not as bad as it seems.
So, the two people started to confront each other.
In fact, it wasn’t necessarily a big deal, but one was impatient and the other was ashamed, but both used anger to cover it up, and the two siblings collided with each other.
As soon as Anna said a word, Callum stood up like a hedgehog with spikes all over his body and entered a fighting state, "Boy? What boy?"
“It’s none of your business!” Anna pushed back without giving in. Her cheeks flushed slightly and her cheeks bulged like a puffer fish because she was too excited.
Seeing that the two siblings were about to clash again, the emotions that had not yet had time to calm down surged again.
Sure enough, those involved are often confused.
But Kirk is a little different. He is an outsider, a third party. He can remain objective and calm, which is the first element in engaging in dialogue and communication.
Kirk could sense Anna's conflict and struggle, and even a hint of guilt, so he ignored Callum and called out.
"Anna?"
Anna looked up in response, her eyes full of stubbornness, and glared at Kirk fiercely. She obviously regarded Kirk as an ally of Callum. If Kirk spoke for Callum, she would attack without hesitation. The furry little fox showed its fangs and claws that had not yet grown, and issued a threat.
Kirk, there's no getting around it.
Luo Luo looked at Anna generously, with a faint smile in his eyes, and a little bit of ease in his calmness, just like an ordinary chat. There was no tit-for-tat of quarrel at all, nor did he notice the tense situation. The feeling and rhythm of the whole conversation seemed a little weird.
"Contest?"
"So, a wild guess, the quarterback of the football team?"
Anna was dumbfounded, staring at Kirk with wide eyes, her mouth slightly open but unable to speak.
Kirk nodded slightly. It seemed that this was the correct answer.
Why the football team?
In New York, basketball is actually more popular. Basketball courts can be seen in every street and alley, and street ball has given birth to countless legends. But Kirk has heard Callum complain that his high school basketball team was too bad, but there was still some hope for football. Later, the school decided to cancel the basketball team and focus on football.
Anna, who attended the same high school as Kirk.
"Um... quarterback ."
"I think there should be many girls who are willing to give him towels and mineral water and cheer him on during the game..."
Maybe, that's a passionate seed, managing a fishery, being gentle to all girls equally, and thanking them for their towels and support.
Especially for high school celebrities, who are at the age when hormones are most active, they enjoy attention and adulation, and few people can resist them.
However, what Anna needs now is not a cold shower, but a little buffer.
then--
"But the biology notes, well, this is a very interesting clue."
As soon as Kirk finished speaking, the two girls next to Anna couldn't help themselves.
"Yes, yes, yes. I'll tell you, the biology class notes are definitely not accidental."
"Anna, I'm telling you, apparently, we're not the only ones who think this. Kevin definitely has feelings for you."
The adolescent girls chattered excitedly again, pulling and shaking Anna, jumping uncontrollably, exuding happiness from head to toe. It was obvious that Anna's expression became shy again, and the air was filled with the sour smell of love.
Only Callum stayed out of the matter, looking at Kirk in astonishment: ???
