…………

‘Lingling!Lingling!’ The alarm sound of the mobile phone attracted the attention of Wang Peng, who was concentrating on painting.

"Hmm? Is it already this time?" Wang Peng put down his brush and the notebook, picked up the cell phone on the table, turned off the alarm, took a look at the time on it, then stood up from the sofa, put on his coat, and went out to school to attend the homecoming festival.

The Homecoming Festival starts at night, and Wang Peng will concentrate on doing things and ignore time. So he specially set an alarm clock to remind himself that Wang Peng does not want to miss such a grand festival as Homecoming Festival.

Wang Peng rode his bicycle to the school and saw that the venue for the homecoming festival was brightly lit. Countless people were in the venue, including students from our school, students who graduated from this school, and many parents and teachers. Many people in the town were there, balloons were dancing in the air, and laughter could be heard from afar.

"Hi! Jack, did you see Claire?" Wang Peng parked his bicycle into the school carport, walked back to the venue, walked to the place he had agreed to before, saw where Jack was, walked over and asked casually.

"Claire just called and said that she couldn't come anymore, and her father wouldn't let her leave the house." Jack had just put down the phone and heard Wang Peng's voice, turned around and said to Wang Peng.

"Although I don't know why her father didn't let her come out, I will go to save Claire. The trapped princess must be saved by a prince. I will leave first and take Claire back later." Jack put the phone back in his pocket and said to Wang Peng. After that, he turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that Wang Peng would chase him. He ran very fast and no one could be seen in the blink of an eye.

"Ah? Alas! Wait!" When Wang Peng came to his senses, Jack had run away.

"Hey!" Wang Peng shook his head and sighed at the people around him. Why did Jack leave so anxiously? How could Wang Peng not know? Jack is interested in Claire, which is known to everyone. Wang Peng and Claire walked in and knew that only the two of them knew the secret before, so Jack has always regarded Wang Peng as a rival in love, but he is also a friend.

This time, Claire was trapped at home by Bennett and was confined to attend the Homecoming Festival. But they all knew that Claire was chosen as the Queen of Homecoming Festival this time and was very much looking forward to the Homecoming Festival. If Claire could be brought out, it would definitely be no less than a hero saving the beauty. So Jack said and ran away without waiting for Wang Peng.

"But by the way, why didn't Bennett let Claire go out?" Wang Peng thought about it and thought with some confusion. Bennett had seen it with his own eyes that Bennett's love for Claire is absolutely impossible. Although the two are relationships between adoptive father and daughter, they are actually closer than their biological father and daughter.

Bennett should know that Claire's expectations for homecoming cannot be banned from Claire for no reason. The main reason is that Bennett would rather make Claire sad than stop him from attending the homecoming.

"I hope Jack won't do bad things well." Wang Peng not only thought in his heart.

After thinking about it, Wang Peng didn't think about it anymore and started to enjoy the annual grand homecoming festival. There were all kinds of food and free beer in the venue. Wang Peng ate and strolled, enjoying this rare carnival atmosphere.

"Wang Peng! Haha~ Haha~ You are here, I've been looking for you for a long time." Just as Wang Peng was eating the small cake he brought from the table and walking back and forth, one hand suddenly hugged his shoulder, and then a panting sound came.

"Jack? You're pretty fast, why did Claire take it?" Wang Peng turned his head and saw Jack running a marathon, handing him the beer in his hand, and asked casually.

"I took it. I used the stairs to make Claire climb down without disturbing her father. She should change clothes with other cheerleaders in the school's dressing room. Time is still urgent." Jack took the beer, raised his head and drank all the wine in the quilt, then wiped the corner of his mouth and said.

Meanwhile, Claire's home.

"Where is the Claire man? She is gone." Bennett went to Claire's room and planned to see Claire's situation, but he saw that there was no one in Claire's room. Bennett went downstairs to look for Claire and asked his wife.

"Oh, by the way, I seemed to see Claire and Jack running through the lawn a dozen minutes ago. She must have crawled out of the window." She sat on the sofa holding the puppy and looking at the fashion magazine's wife, listening to the words.

"Why don't you stop her!?" Bennet asked in disbelief.

"Because Claire is a good kid, she should go tonight, you are too harsh on her." The wife replied casually.

Bennett's identity was well concealed. His family and his wife didn't know his true identity. They all believed that Bennett was just an ordinary person working in a paper mill.

So, his wife didn't know that Bennett's real intention to not allow Claire to attend the homecoming festival, and even felt unfair about Claire, so when she saw Jack running away with Claire, she didn't say anything or tell Bennett, turned a blind eye and let Claire go.

"You don't know what you've done." Bennett looked at his wife's appearance, snatched the magazine in his wife's hand, suppressed his anger and said to his wife.

"I'll inform me immediately if there is news about Claire." Bennett walked towards the gate anxiously and said to his wife. After that, he left home and drove towards the school.

In the school, two strangers walked into the school one by one.

"Hero of Saving People... Cheerleader... Jackie..." The two strangers came to the school's souvenir cabinet one after another, and saw the newspaper paper cutting of Jackie's news reports in the souvenir cabinet. Both of them thought that they had found their target.

…………………………

In the school's dressing room, for the next performance, the cheerleaders were changing their clothes.

"It's time to midfield, girls, hurry up!" Cheerleader Jiejie clapped his hands in the changing room, urging the other cheerleaders to change their clothes quickly.

"Jackie, look over there, Claire..." Jackie was shouting excitedly, and suddenly a cheerleader called Jackie, then pointed to Claire who had just come over and said in a low voice.

"You are so thick-skinned. Haven't you been confined??" Jackie looked at Claire who had already changed her clothes and couldn't help but show an unhappy expression. She walked to Claire and asked in a sarcastic tone.

"It's not difficult to come out." Claire responded plainly as if he didn't hear Jackie's sarcasm.

"Hurry up! It's about to start!" The other cheerleaders shouted excitedly, and left the changing room with their hand-walled flowers to prepare for the next performance.

"I want to say something to you, a conversation between the two captains." Jackie did not leave, opened the locker, and used cosmetics to repair makeup while saying to Claire.

"Say, what do you want to say?" Claire stood up from the bench and said to Jackie.

"We used to be the best friends, what happened and why did it turn out like this?" Jackie suddenly closed the door of the locker, turned around and looked at Claire, and asked imposingly.

"Maybe it's because I figured out something, and I'm tired of being an uneasy person." Claire replied.

"Haha, hehe, you have always wanted to be a person like me since the second grade." Jackie smiled sarcastically when she heard this.

"And now you want to be someone like me." Before Jackie finished speaking, Claire interrupted.

"Hahaha, how could you have this kind of thought?" Jackie asked in disbelief.

"Your heroic act of saving people from that burning train is not what you did, it is me." Claire said as if he was looking at the clown, looking at Jackie.

"No, it's not you." Jackie's face changed when she heard Claire's words, and she denied with a frown.

"I've recorded it." Kleiner directly gave the ironclad evidence.

Of course Jackie knew that rushing into the fire, the hero who saved people was not her. When Claire heard Claire's words, Claire's confident look, and when the firefighters and police came to recognize people, they took a few steps back and turned their backs to Claire. They didn't know what to do now. If her lie was exposed, what would happen would be like.

"Do you know, a good friend told me that being honest with yourself and being happy is more important than being a popular person. I think he is right." After a few seconds of silence, Claire looked at Jackie with her back facing her and suddenly spoke.

A few minutes before this sentence, Jack was at Claire's house and persuaded Claire to come out to attend the homecoming festival. Claire added something to it and directly learned and sold it.

"Haha, really? To me, this sounds more like a loser's speech." Jackie turned around and looked at Claire and said. After that, Jackie wanted to change the clothes and walk to the door of the room. The performance was about to begin. Now is not the time to worry about the lies being exposed.

‘Ba!Ba!’ But Jackie didn’t take two steps and heard two crisp sounds. Then, he saw that the lights in the changing room were all turned off, and the changing room suddenly became dark.

"Damn it, this is a broken school." Seeing the lights turned off for no reason, Jackie was in a bad mood and complained irritably.

‘Hu~’ A black shadow flew past, bringing the sound of the wind.

"Did you hear it?" Claire was startled, looked around and asked Jackie.

"What did you hear?" Jackie said casually.

At the same time, Bennett drove to the school and came to the steps on the roof of the school building. In Isaac's painting, Claire once appeared here.

One of the two strangers who came to the school was standing at the entrance of the school, as if waiting for something.

Wang Peng was also walking towards the carport...
