Chapter(5):my name part 3
There was a bus driver driving the bus and at the end of the bus he saw a girl sitting alone. He felt curious and tried to talk to her
"So, girl, are you running away or are you?..." the driver asked
"What? Of course not. I'm going to meet someone," Emma replied
"So what's your destination?" The driver asked
"Forest of faces," the girl answered coldly
"Forest of faces?" The driver asked silently
"Hey kid, I don't know what your deal is about that forest but I don't think this place is suitable for camping," the driver spoke anxiously.
"Why?"
"Because it is a notorious place, there are many scary and mysterious stories... and there are stories that say that the trees used to embody the faces of the people who died there!" the driver spoke in horror.
"I'll take it" the girl spoke in an indifferent voice.
"As you wish. This bus is free, but please, let me warn you, you may encounter something strange" the driver warned as he handed her the ticket.
"Whatever," she said and took her ticket.
The driver looked at the girl with fear and pity.
"Please be careful, and if you can, leave this place as soon as possible," the driver begged her.
"Yes, of course," the girl replied.
After an hour of driving the bus driver finally arrived at his destination.
"Well, here we are," the driver announced.
"This is where you wanted, isn't it?" the driver asked
The girl got up and walked towards the exit.
"Thank you," the girl replied, and left the bus.
She began to walk into the woods, and after a short time she stopped in front of a tree.
The tree bore a face screaming in agony and pain, and Emma swore she heard the owner of the face screaming because of the mysterious sound of wind, but she looked forward.
"It's now or never!"
Emma walked forward, turned on the flashlight, and walked into the forest
Emma walked forward, a feeling of worry creeping over her
She felt as if there were many eyes on her, yet she found no one there but her. She felt an uncomfortable feeling.
"Damn! I feel like I made a mistake entering this place but I'm not leaving...until I find him."
She continued walking and felt that the eyes on her arrangement became more... and she felt an urgency to leave here immediately, but she continued to walk forward and grabbed her right pocket, where her father's spare gun was located, in preparation for anything sudden.
It continued moving forward until it stopped at a certain place...
She stopped when she saw a broken tree branch. She looked for a few seconds and touched her neck as she remembered what happened
****
Haah! Haaah! Haah!
She remembered running and running away quickly, ignoring the twigs and branches, and continuing to run, and when she turned around, she saw.....
******
Emma looked in the opposite direction and walked quickly. As she continued walking, she began to remember more things...
She remembered that she could not bear all that ridicule and beating and fled into the forest
Step!
She remembered that she screamed and directed her anger at the forest because of the unjust world
Step! Step!
She remembered crying for hours uncontrollably
Step step step!
She remembered seeing him...
Step step step step!
Emma stopped walking quickly when she stopped in a clearing in the woods. It was the place where she had met Smiley
The boy who I thought understood her...
hang!
Emma stopped walking quickly, looked towards the place and walked in the other direction, the direction where Smiley had last been there...
"Huff... Remember Emma! You are doing this to confirm your suspicions about what you saw, so that if you find it, don't panic... Don't panic!"
Emma ran towards that place...the place they had shocked him but...
When Emma arrived at that place, she did not find anything, but she saw claw marks, pieces of trees, and thick footsteps
"He's not here. Maybe he left or was it just my imagination. At least I had to go and confirm my suspicions....(Frowning)...Anyway it was time for me to come back____!?!?!!?"
"Hello," he said, smiling at her and putting his hands behind his back
Smiley was right in front of her, a few inches from her face
"Aaah!" Emma screamed in horror as she turned away from him
"Ha-ha-ha, what a funny reaction," Smiley said
"You...are you Smiley?" Emma asked in shock
"Yes, it's me! What's wrong with you, girl? Why are you so surprised?" Smiley replied with a mysterious smile
Emma looked at Smiley and turned away from him, her hand holding the gun in her pocket
"You've been there since yesterday."
"True, and you haven't told me your name yet? Since you saw that deer."
"You pretended to be a cold girl, but you ran away like a girl who saw a ghost."
"But who can I blame? We like to wear masks after all," Smiley shows an evil smile
"So this was all real.." Emma thought
"Hello, faces Girl," Smiley asked
"What?"
"You haven't told me what your name is yet?"
"my name?"
"Oh", Emma remembered their conversation and looked at him seriously and worried...
My name is....
"Hmm? What?" Smiley asked
Emma remembered her past and the past events that happened to her
I want to apologize for what happened in the classroom, even though it wasn't my fault, but..."
You know what, maybe the teacher was right. Maybe if you spent less time in the library and more time with us, we would forgive you for this instead of hurting a friend. But unfortunately, you are an outcast, and this is what you will do. "And it will be that way until the end."
My name is....(closes her eyes)
Dude...you know she's Andrew's sister right?"
"I know...but you forgot that he has hated his sister since that incident. He can't even stand to look at her face,"
"Even if she did who would defend her?, I mean she's an outcast at school"
"That hilarious hahaha"
"My name is Emma Blackwood! "She answered forcefully
And I'm here for one thing," Emma spoke firmly
Emma took her gun out of her pocket and held it up to Smiley
Hooh?...Smiley looked with a bigger smile and his hands behind his back turned into sharp claws
Smiley was preparing for the confrontation and ending it
"I'm here to..."
****
At the same time, somewhere else...
Andrew came out of the bus door and waved to his friends Jack and Nathan from inside the bus
"See you again, players!" Andrew spoke
"See you tomorrow, bast*rd. You were so great in that match," Jack replied
"Yes, you were really great in that match," Nathan said
The bus door was closed and it moved forward
Andrew was looking at his house and entered excitedly
"I returned to home!"
"Welcome back Andrew, did you enjoy the soccer match?" his mother replied
"Of course yes! You won't believe what I did!...Wait, how did you know I was in a football match?" Andrew asked with a surprised expression.
"Emma told me you were going to the field to play soccer."
"Oh, that bit*h hears everything," Andrew spoke in a low voice so that his mother would not hear him
"Let me tell you what happened, it was crazy," Andrew replied excitedly
"Really? I want to hear how it was," his mother asked eagerly
He told her about the match and how he scored the winning goal at the last second
"So we won!" Andrew spoke excitedly
"Oh... wow, that's really cool," his mother replied coldly
Andrew looked at his mother strangely
"Mom, what's wrong? Are you okay?" Andrew asked
"No...it's just about Emma," his mother said worriedly
Andrew looked at his mother and felt a little angry about Emma always being noticed for what she did and always being a superior
He always felt that he was inferior to her and tried everything to make himself better than her, but he failed... until the incident happened and he reached rock bottom
Over time, the feeling of helplessness towards his sister disappeared, but now it has grown again
"Emma why? Did you go outside again?" Andrew asked with some slight hidden anger
"No, son...it's different. She told me that she was going abroad to meet a."
"What?!" Andrew asked in shock
*****
Suddenly Emma threw the gun to the ground
"What?" asked Smiley with a half smile
"I'm here to be your friend!"Emma replied
Suddenly Smiley's smile widened greatly
"You want to be my friend...why?"
"I lived my whole life making logical, normal decisions and at the end I was ostracized because I decided to act heroically..."
"I don't have anyone anymore"
"Oh girl, have you forgotten what you did, have you forgotten what I am capable of?" Smiley asked
I know what you did and that's why I want to be your friend
"You are an unnatural, supernatural, eccentric person who is incapable of being understood."
I want to follow you, I want to understand you, I want to know more about you, and then maybe I can understand them.
" them?" thought Smiley
"Girl, haven't you heard this before? Being with a bad friend will make you lose a lot."
"Is there anything left to lose anyway? My life is ruined, my friends abandoned me, I was rejected by my family, and for me there is nothing to lose."
Besides, who would believe it if I told someone I saw monsters? No one will believe me."
"I am, after all, the most outcast girl in school,".Emma said with a smile
Smiley looked from ear to ear and began to tremble and put his hand to his face and could not control his body
"Tha..t is..really.Pfft..fu....funny!.ha....hhahahahahah....now you're talking!" Smiley spoke
"I've never seen someone as entertaining like you in my life! I liked it, Emma, I really Liked it!"
"This is really great, I'll be your friend, Emma! I'll make you forget all about your boring life, because your new life is starting...now!"
Smiley extended his hand towards Emma
"That's what I was hoping for," Emma said, extending her hand towards him
Emma shook Smiley's hand in the light of a full moon
In the eyes of some of them, it was an ordinary day, and in the eyes of Andrew, it was a wonderful day because he won football, but in an unknown place in the forest
this was the beginning of everything...and the beginning of their strange and crazy life
