Chapter 347 Courtney Whitman
"That's what you're asking." Grandma Peggy pointed in the direction of the park. "There was an ice cream truck in the park, and there were a lot of children there, so that's why it was so noisy."

"Ice cream truck!" Wally shouted in surprise. No wonder Wally was making such a fuss. Blue Valley Town was just a small town. It might seem small but complete in the eyes of adults, but for Wally who grew up in a big city, it was not enough.

For example, ice cream is only available in the only large supermarket in town, and the taste is not very good. This is really a torture for Wally, whose body requires high calories and prefers high-calorie foods.

You have to know that Wally can empty a basin-sized box of ice cream in five seconds, which shows how much he likes these things.

After knowing the whole story and being able to go back to report, Wally did not turn back home. Instead, he waved to Grandma Peggy and ran towards the park at a normal speed.

"Goodbye Grandma Peggy, have a great day."

Although Wally couldn't wait to eat the ice cream, he still said goodbye to the old man properly. Only when the old man turned around and continued walking the dog did he increase his speed slightly. Soon he ran to the park entrance and saw the ice cream truck as he wished.

But when Wally saw the ice cream truck, he couldn't help but frown. Why did this truck look familiar to him?
Wally only thought about it for a few seconds before he gave up. All ice cream trucks looked the same. Maybe it was because he had seen the style before that it looked familiar.

While Wally was thinking, his legs kept moving, which prevented him from noticing the girl running out from the corner at the other end of the park. The girl was also a little absent-minded and also did not notice Wally running to the park entrance.

When the two were about to collide, Wally reacted. A small electric current jumped out of his body. The world seemed to stop in his eyes, and he was able to see the girl's face clearly.

Her long golden hair was lifted up behind her because of running. Her slender eyebrows, combined with her lake-like blue eyes, made her look full of heroism. However, it was not difficult to tell from the girl's raised eyebrows and eyes that she was not in a very good mood at the moment.

The speed force does not stop time. The girl also reacted when she was about to collide with Wally. Her expression was slowly changing from depression to horror. This process was extremely interesting. When Wally first gained the speed force, he often observed the various changes in expressions of ordinary people.

Wally used his toes to push hard and turned sideways to avoid the girl who was rushing towards him. Although the girl's reaction ability could not be compared with that of a speedster, it was obviously among the better ones among ordinary people. When she noticed Wally, she started to stop suddenly, but the situation was too urgent, causing the girl to lose her balance and fall forward.

There was no other way, Wally could only reach out to pull the girl. If he let her fall like this, the girl's beautiful face would definitely come into close contact with the ground.

The girl's beautiful figure made Wally feel troubled. Although it was already a nice autumn day, the girl was still wearing a belly-exposing outfit, which prevented Wally from directly holding her waist. He had no choice but to grab the girl's arm.

"Wow!" The girl screamed, waiting for the severe pain of the collision, but when she came to her senses, she found that not only was there no pain, but there was not even a person in front of her.

"Are you OK."

The girl turned around and found a young boy with orange-red hair, freckles on his cheeks and wearing a baseball jersey holding her arm. It was obvious that the other party was supporting him, but the girl vaguely remembered that the person she bumped into just now also had orange-red hair. As for whether he was wearing a baseball jersey, she was not very sure, but the color of the clothes seemed to be the same.

"I, I'm fine." The girl panted to calm herself down, her slightly raised chest rising and falling, forcing Wally to let go of her hand and look away.

"That's good." Wally scratched his cheek, and for some reason a feeling of embarrassment grew in his heart.

The girl frowned at the embarrassed boy who didn't dare to look her in the face. She felt that the boy looked familiar, especially his striking orange-red hair. "Wally West?"

Hearing someone calling him, Wally subconsciously turned around and found that it was the girl who called his name, which made him confused.

"You know me?" Wally scratched his head. He didn't remember knowing such a beautiful girl.

"Courtney Whitman." The girl said word by word.

When Wally heard the name, he was puzzled at first, but soon, relying on the speed of thinking of a speedster, he immediately found someone matching this name from the corner of his memory.

"What kind of lonely tomboy are you!" Wally yelled in shock.

"Who are you calling a tomboy!" Courtney scowled coldly.

It's no wonder Wally was surprised. In his memory, the little girl named Courtney was an invincible little devil who could beat anyone in Blue Valley Town. Even he had been tortured by her.

"You haven't left Blue Valley Town?" Wally asked curiously. He remembered that the girl in front of him was the same age as him, and there was no middle school in Blue Valley Town. So where did the girl go to school?

"Don't change the subject!" Courtney was clearly still upset about the tomboy reference. "Who are you calling a tomboy?"

Looking at Courtney who seemed to want to eat him, the fear deep in Wally's memory was awakened. When humans were young, girls generally developed faster than boys, and Courtney was the fastest growing girl, so her height had always been far superior to that of most boys.

In addition, Courtney's physical fitness is surprisingly good, so in Blue Valley Town, let alone children of the same age, even those who are one or two years older than her are far from being Courtney's opponents.

"My bad, my bad." Wally immediately raised his hands in surrender. Although Courtney was definitely not his opponent now, Wally could not lay a hand on Courtney, not to mention that he was the one who spoke rudely first. It is not shameful to apologize after doing something wrong. This is what Wally was taught.

"Hmph!" The girl snorted coldly, pouting her lips and looking cute and adorable.

"By the way, are you here for ice cream?" Seeing that the girl was sulking, Wally wanted to please her. It was not because Wally had any feelings for Courtney, but rather that after Wally knew that the girl was Courtney, he no longer regarded her as a girl.

They'd fought together, been scolded together, what else could they be if not brothers? Wally was just feeling depressed because he hadn't had any friends his own age these past few days, and he was afraid that the girl would ignore him.

"So what?"

"I'm here to eat too. How about I treat you?"
