Chapter 459 The so-called youth
The sun rises as usual.
When Peter woke up, the world seemed to be vaguely different -
He was able to capture many trivial noises, and his vision returned to normal, even the dry and thin The figure has also become well-proportioned and strong.
While Peter looked at the streamlined muscle lines in the mirror and gained confidence, Gloria drooled at Anson's muscles on the big screen.
Gloria: I can!
Peter turned around and saw Mary Jane in the room opposite her next door neighbor. Their lives were separated by a small alley.
This little bit of self-confidence made Peter hesitate as he watched Mary-Jane go to the school bus stop, wondering whether he should step forward and introduce himself.
However, he still failed to muster the courage and watched helplessly as Mary Jane got into her friend's convertible while he chased the school bus again.
This time, without Mary Jane's help, the school bus drove away, leaving the other students in the car ridiculed, cursed and laughing.
Originally, Peter had already caught up with the bus, but he didn't expect that when he slapped the carriage, he accidentally pulled down the promotional banner for the homecoming dance outside the bus. This shocked Peter and looked at his palms in confusion. , this time I completely missed the bus.
And, this was just the beginning of a series of strange things -
At lunch in the school cafeteria, he noticed that Mary Jane had slipped on the orange juice on the floor, and not only reacted quickly to help Mary Jane , and use the tray to catch all the flying food, the speed is incredibly fast.
After sending Mary Jane away, the fork was inexplicably stuck in the palm of my hand. When I tried to remove the fork, I found that the palm of my hand was secreting inexplicable mucus. With a little force, a string of spider silk flew out of my wrist. Locking onto a dinner plate in the table across the way, it freaked him out.
He tried to pull away the spider silk, but he did not expect that the dinner plate would also be taken back. He subconsciously dodged and the dinner plate and food hit the strong man behind:
Lightning, Mary-Jane's date, the big man on the football team.
He just wanted to leave here quickly, calm down and collect his thoughts.
But obviously, Lightning was unwilling and rushed forward in a boxing stance.
At this time, he realized that the trajectory of lightning was very clear in his eyes. It was like pressing ten times the speed of slow motion, and he could easily get out of the way.
Not only can he dodge, but he is also extremely powerful and can knock lightning away with one punch.
Something was wrong, he realized something was wrong with him, and fled the school in a panic. Finally being alone, he began to test his abilities.
Bounce, crawl, spider silk——
It was only then that Peter showed the youthfulness and recklessness of a middle school student. He was immersed in the joy of testing his super powers and completely forgot about time.
Peter completely forgot about the appointment he made with Uncle Ben to paint the kitchen together. When he got home, his uncle and aunt had already rested, and the only sound of the quarrel at Mary Jane's house next door was raging in the night.
Perhaps, the only thing Peter could do was to at least pack up the trash and throw it away. Unexpectedly, he met Mary Jane who slammed the door and ran out. The two people's eyes collided, but the quarrel in the room behind him made Mary Jane was a little embarrassed, her ugliest and most embarrassing side was exposed like this.
However, Peter did not laugh, disdain or pay too much attention, but faced it all gently and calmly, which made Mary Jane feel safe.
So they started chatting.
Talk about family and dreams.
They all long to leave here and go to Manhattan, Peter hopes to become a photojournalist, and Mary Jane hopes to become an actress.
Mary Jane thought Peter would laugh at her, and she never told anyone about her daydreams; but Peter gave her the warmest support.
Involuntarily, Mary Jane was slightly stunned, tilted her head and looked at Peter carefully, "You are taller than you look."
Because you have a tall soul. Unexpectedly, Peter smiled and said seriously, "I'm hunchbacked."
The corners of Mary Jane's mouth pursed slightly, and her eyes were red. Although she didn't smile, she could Seeing the reflected light of the stars in those eyes, "Stop being hunched over."
Oh.
The girls in the entire screening room let out soft sighs like melting marshmallows. Who would have thought that such a conversation could be so romantic?
Unfortunately, the warm atmosphere could not continue -
Lightning appeared, bringing a luxury convertible, shouting that it was his birthday gift.
Peter watched Mary Jane leave. After returning to the room, he couldn't help but start reading the used car advertisements in the newspaper. The cheapest one cost nearly three thousand dollars.
2,598, to be precise.
Just under the used car advertisement, there is also an advertisement recruiting wrestlers. If you can persist for three minutes, you can earn $3,000.
I never imagined that the first thing Peter did when he tried to make full use of his superpower was to buy a convertible for three thousand dollars?
Like all legendary superheroes, Peter designed a red spider suit and mask for himself, and locked himself in a room every day to practice his skills and practice in seclusion.
Until Peter was sure that he was ready, he used going to the library as an excuse to prepare for the competition, but Peter did not realize that his abnormality had fallen into the eyes of his uncle and aunt.
Uncle Ben used the excuse of escorting Peter to the library, but he was actually looking for an opportunity and a space to talk to Peter; Peter's mind had already flown to the wrestling ring, and he couldn't hold back his temper at all. That's exactly what happened. performance, making Uncle Ben realize that Peter was going through puberty.
Uncle Ben himself had been through those turbulent years, and he was worried that Peter might have gone astray, and the school fight was a wake-up call.
"The guy you fought with, Flash Thompson, probably deserved his comeuppance. But don't think just because you can beat him that you have the right to beat him."
But. , Peter stubbornly shifted his gaze.
Adolescent children are always like this, stubborn, stubborn and rebellious.
Uncle Ben sighed softly, "Peter, remember, with great power comes greater responsibility."
This sentence stimulated Peter. He was afraid that his trip to wrestling would be discovered. He immediately became impatient and anger took over his brain.
"Things are different. I will solve it myself. Don't preach to me. Please!"
"I don't mean to preach to you. I know I am not your father."
"Then stop pretending you are."
One coming, one going, one impulse, the words just blurted out.
The air suddenly became quiet.
Peter realized that he had said the wrong thing, but the matter was irreversible.
Uncle Ben withdrew his gaze, "Yes", he said, and that was the end.
Peter tried to explain and redeem himself, but Uncle Ben was no longer ready to continue the conversation, "I'll pick you up at ten o'clock in the evening."
Peter couldn't believe it, was angry and upset, It was not only for Uncle Ben but also for himself, so he opened the car door angrily. He deliberately waited for a while, but he did not expect that Uncle Ben had already walked away. Peter did not stay any longer and left quickly, and the two of them left unhappily. scattered.
There is something more important before us -
Three thousand dollars.
