American Horror Story, Starting from Falls Town

Chapter 8 Return to school
Roy thought it was Needy who called, but a cold voice came from the other end of the line.

"Hello, is this Roy?"

"Jennifer?"

"From your tone, you seem disappointed. Are you disappointed because it wasn't Needy who called?"

Roy twitched the corner of his mouth. He did have this idea in his mind. After all, Needy was easier to conquer and was his first target at the moment.

But Jennifer was also in the fish pond, but her fishing method was a little different.

To deal with a girl like Nidi who has a low self-esteem, you need to act like a warm man and warm her like the sun.

But this trick is useless for a girl like Jennifer who is blessed with good fortune.

As the captain of the cheerleading team, the dogs around Jennifer can line up from the classroom to the school gate. It is impossible to lick such a girl.

So Roy planned to use a straight hook to fish in the air without putting out any bait, waiting for someone to take the bait.

"Not really, but I'm a little surprised that Jennifer, who is always busy, has time to call me."

Roy's words made Jennifer a little angry, and her voice became even colder.

"I'm just asking on behalf of the school when you'll be back for classes, and I'm also giving Needy's regards."

"What happened to Needy? Why didn't she call me herself?"

There was silence on the other end of the phone before he spoke.

"You really care more about Needy."

Tsk tsk, why does this sound a bit sour?

Roy pretended not to hear anything.

"Of course I care about Needy. We are good friends."

"Just, good friends?"

"Uh-huh! You're a good friend of mine too, Jennifer."

Roy felt that the person on the other end of the phone seemed to be relieved, and then Jennifer's tone softened.

It turned out that the case of the Ghost Face Killer Billy began to ferment further, and some unscrupulous media began to take an interest in Billy. Someone got Billy's diary and put his motive for killing for Needy in the newspaper.

As a result, Nidi has been in the spotlight these days, with the telephone line at her home being unplugged and she missing several days of school.

"Tell the school that I'll be back tomorrow. And tell Needy not to think too much about it, because it will be over soon."

"I see. By the way, Roy, what you said after the game that day...I think I didn't think much of it."

Jennifer was talking about the incident before Roy traveled through time and space, when the original owner confessed to Jennifer after the game and was politely rejected.

From what Jennifer said, she seemed to be a little regretful.

If the original owner heard this, he would be extremely happy and continue to be Jennifer's lapdog.

But this is the worst option because now it is Jennifer who feels the competition and will regret it.

Once the competition is gone, Jennifer will undoubtedly revert to her old self.

As a time traveler, Roy wants to be Aquaman.

"Ah, you said that. I was indeed a little inconsiderate at the time. You are right. We should all think calmly."

Roy didn't say anything definite. The fish in the pond cannot be released just like that.

Jennifer was silent for a moment before she sighed.

"Roy, will we always be good friends?"

"Of course!"

The next day, when Roy arrived at Oak High School in his used yellow Chevrolet Camaro, he saw a banner hanging at the school gate: Welcome Fallstown hero Roy Black back to school!

Hiss, what the hell is this?

Why are schools in America doing this too?
When Roy turned his head, he saw a lot of interview cars and reporters at the school gate, obviously all prepared in advance.

Well, no wonder the school asked Jennifer to ask me when I would return to school. So this was their plan!

In fact, this behavior is not uncommon for private schools in America.

Private schools need a reputation if they want to make money, and there are many ways to improve their reputation, one of which is sports competitions.

Therefore, many schools in America give preferential treatment to students with sports talents.

In order to compete for outstanding students, universities are doing more elaborate tricks. They will send beautiful female students to recruit new students with superior talents.

Well, that's the way you think.

Roy's way of becoming famous is rather unique, but the school certainly won't miss it.

As soon as they saw Roy, reporters surrounded him.

"Mr. Black, what do you think of Mr. Billy Anglin's mother's accusation that you acted excessively in self-defense?"

"Why doesn't she ask the dead policeman? Move over, I need to go to school!"

"Mr. Black, what do you think of the motive for Mr. Billy Anglin's murder that has been revealed?"

Roy originally didn't want to answer this question, as it was obviously intended to bring the matter onto Needy.

However, seeing that the female reporter who asked the question was very broad-minded and kept winking at him, Roy decided to give her face.

"Some people want to put the blame on an innocent girl in order to absolve themselves of their own poor parenting. I only have one word to describe this: rubbish!"

This sentence was very explosive. The broad-minded female reporter's eyes lit up and she quickly continued to ask questions.

"You're saying Billy Anglin's parents have an unshirkable responsibility, right?"

"Make way, class is about to start!"

Roy didn't want to continue answering, but the female reporter desperately used her chest muscles to push against him, and the other reporters surrounding him made it difficult for him to move.

It was okay if the women squeezed him, but some male reporters were pushing around, and Roy even felt like someone was touching his butt, which made him so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

Fortunately, the principal brought a group of security guards to rescue Roy.

"Okay, fellow journalists, Mr. Black is still young and can't handle such enthusiastic treatment. If you have any questions, just ask me!"

The reporters didn't want to interview the principal, but the other party asked the security guards to form a human wall and successfully stopped the reporters.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Roy used his 16 points of agility and ran into the school in the blink of an eye.

Now the reporter had no way to follow in because Oak High School was a private school, which meant it was private territory.

If reporters rushed in, they would be trespassing on private property. In Texas, these security guards could just draw their guns.

There was no other way, the reporter could only interview the principal, and then the principal always brought the topic back to Oak High School, clearly wanting to advertise.

Roy didn't want to care about what was happening outside. He had already entered the teaching building. This was his first time in school after traveling through time.

Schools in the United States usually have two rows of lockers in the entrance corridor of the teaching building to provide students with a place to store tools or other items.

Roy found his locker according to the original owner's memory, opened it and put his things away. When he was about to close the door, he saw a photo stuck on the inside of the locker.

This photo is of Roy and Jennifer, and the location seems to be a school dance.

"I didn't expect you still had this photo."
