Chapter (15):misunderstanding
Inside school
Andrew pov.....
In the cafeteria
Andrew was sitting at a far table with two friends Nathan and Jack. They were eating on a tray and discussing two friends with each other when they noticed Andrew's strange behavior
Andrew's eyes were directed towards Emma who was sitting at a table eating alone
*Andrew are you okay?" Nathan asked worriedly
"Yes" Andrew replied deeply
What's wrong, dude?" Jack asked
"Dan came to my class for something called a donation campaign for a football club" Dan spoke
"What but I don't remember our club needing any funding" Nathan replied surprised
"That bastard definitely tried to harass you" Jack spoke angrily
"So what happened after that"
"Well, he took the donation money and registered my class names and when it was my turn, one of his friends mocked me and cursed me"
"That bastard, he's trying to embarrass you in front of the teacher!" Nathan shouted angrily
"Whaaaat! What That was just now! I didn't expect you to come out so angry, I thought you were the calm guy" Jack said in surprise
"Not when it comes to threatening you or embarrassing you in front of the whole class, not to mention that you are also a player on his team, this is mean!" Nathan said angrily
"There is no need for this, because it has been dealt with" Andrew said
"What? What do you mean by this?"
"When he went to Emma's turn, she refused to give him her turn and even refused to tell him her name"
"What happened? After that" Nathan asked
"She embarrassed Nathan in front of the whole class"
"What?!"
"She kept refusing and spoke in a weird way that manipulated the whole class and made them back out of paying him" Andrew spoke
"Damnit" Jack spoke
"And when she continued to refuse more it made him angry and threatened her, even the teacher shouted but she completely looked up to him and..." Look
"Let me guess she ass got kicked? Isn't it" Jack spoke as he mocked Emma
"(Andrew shook his head)... No" Andrew replied
"So what happened?" Nathan asked
When he tried to hit her his hand was grabbed by him" Andrew spoke as he looked down
"Who do you mean by him?" Jack asked strangely"
"Frank Wilson" Andrew spoke in a deep voice
"What?" Nathan and Jack both screamed in shock
"hold On! Did you just mean is Frank helped her?" Nathan asked.
Yes," Andrew replied.
"Frank is a gangster?" Jack asked.
"Yes," Andrew replied.
"The one who sent five people to the hospital?" The Beast King? Nathan asked
"Yeah" Andrew replied with a heavy sigh
"Dude this is not funny!" Jack spoke with a serious tone
The three of them had previously fought with Frank and it didn't end well. He had completely crushed them and he didn't look serious and their hair felt overwhelmingly helpless and their demon-like yellow eyes were still present in their minds
"Damn? Wait why would this thing help her in the first place?" Jack spoke with some anger
"Guys, there's something I need to tell you" Andrew spoke after cheering
"What is it?" Jack asked
"Do you remember when I said Emma was hanging out with someone?"
"Yeah?" Jack and Nathan spoke
"All I know is that she's a friend and she only goes when school is over and leaves around the same time Frank does" Andrew spoke
"So what are you trying to say Oh..ooohhhhh" nathan spoke after realizing what he meant.
wait! wait! You don't think that savage is her boyfriend! You forgot that he almost sent us to the hospital last time!" Jack spoke in shock
"That's what I'm afraid of too" Andrew spoke in a tone
"Oh shit man! That's bad" Jack spoke angrily
"So let's say they're hanging out together...so what we be do?" Nathan asked while rubbing his temples
"What do you mean" Jack asked strangely
"I mean...why don't we just leave them alone"
"What?!" Jack and Andrew both shouted
"Dude are you stupid!" Jack spoke angrily
"Did you forget that man he is a gangster! He might even have her work with his gang or have her deal dru*s,"
" I don't care what she does but if she gets Andrew involved in this, we have to!"
"What exactly?" Nathan asked interrupting Jack's words
"What?" Jack asked
"We all know how strong this monster is, we need the entire school to defeat him at least" Nathan spoke
"And remember these are just rumors, maybe not even true" Nathan spoke
"He may not seem like himself at school, and she may be hanging around his house, but it's not a problem. I mean, she's lost almost all of her friends since the accident, and she's probably trying to make new friends now," Nathan said positively.
"Now we just have to wait and see what happens, whether they will become friends or not... Emma will not spend the rest of her life alone without any friends at least" Nathan said
"Yeah but.....damn you're right!Aaugh" Jack spoke in a resigned tone
"You're right about that Nathan, we just have to wait" Andrew spoke
Andrew and his friends were looking at Emma from a distance and waiting to see what would happen.
Without knowing that it was all just a small misunderstanding.
After a while...in the school hallways
Emma was in her locker organizing some things before closing her locker when Frank appeared out of nowhere
"So...why did you help me?" Emma asked
"You...you were about to cut his arm with the knife in your pocket" Frank spoke in a broken voice
"How did you notice that?" Emma asked
"Your eyes told me" Frank spoke
"What?" Emma asked strangely
"Your eyes carry a great intent to kill and shed, any fighter can see that" Frank spoke strangely
"I think I owe you a favor" Emma spoke in a resigned tone.
"I did this because I cleaned my hands a while ago. I don't want them to get dirty again." Frank spoke in a nonchalant tone.
In class, Emma was sitting in the classroom and we were listening to a lesson from a different teacher. Emma was hearing a lot of her classmates gossiping about her.
Emma ignored her usual class nonsense towards her and pretended to be reading a book while her mind was occupied with something else, namely the Forest of Faces.
"First, let's focus on the direction we're going. This time, we'll go in the opposite direction because last time, I almost became a meal for a scorpion man."
"Second, find bullets for a gun... There are many ways, but it's hard to find bullets without raising any suspicions about me."
"Maybe I should find an arms dealer or go to the black market... Although they are both dangerous options, I should go there without raising any suspicions, but there is one problem left."
"I need money... The question is how will I get enough money to buy bullets?"
"I don't know." How long until my parents don't notice and when it does, things will be ugly"
While Emma was thinking about this and writing down some numbers, she noticed that some of the students in her class were staring at her in a strange way and whispering to each other and feeling for her
"As if I would care about their nonsense at any time and now where were we oh right I was in. Wait a minute" Emma thought
"Smiley lives in a plane, maybe there might be something that could help me with this" Emma thought
When school was over Emma decided to go to the forest
When she decided to go to the forest she noticed that there were some students still caring about her
"What happened to them today? Isn't it okay for someone to help me? Or is it wrong too?" Emma thought angrily.
#
"In the past when I was bullied and I stood up for myself, they did nothing but make fun of me from afar and spread bad rumors about me, and now because someone stood up for me they think I'm some kind of gang girl...."
"And they call me a monster, they're all the same"
"Hypocrites, scum, bastards"
"No matter how much they try to pretend, they're all just attention seekers, no one will try to know how I feel"
"No one is different, no one...."
As Emma walked through the forest, Emma remembered Smiley and how his story was
"Yes, maybe his story makes sense now" Emma spoke
"Whose story?"
Emma looked up and saw Smiley sitting on top of a tree staring at Emma
"Hello Smiley" Emma spoke
"Hello Snow Queen, ready for another round?" Smiley replied
"No.....this time I want to walk to your house together" Emma spoke
"Why? Are you scared?" Smiley asked with his usual smile
"Not that, I want to explore the way to your house, you won't always be waiting for me every time I visit you" Emma replied
"Hmm.....fair enough" Smiley replied resignedly
"So....how was your day?" Smiley asked
"Well, it's just going to be boring for our day, but I'll let you know" Emma spoke looking down
"I.....
Meanwhile, somewhere else.....
Somewhere far from the school, several teenagers gathered, some of them holding wooden bats and some strange tattoos on their bodies
"So you're telling me that Emma goes "Always in the woods after school?"
(Hit!)
(Hit!)
"Yes!" Tom spoke in horror
(Hit!)
"Interesting...what else?" Dan asked
(Hit!)
"She's hanging out with a friend, but I'm not exactly who" Tom replied in fear as he looked down
(Hit)
(Hit)
"Wow...you seem to be useful unlike someone, don't you Barry!" Dan replied as he hit someone
Swallow!
Tom was looking at a fat person who was lifted up by two people who held both of his arms and lifted him in front of Dan and his face was covered in blood
Barry was the one who Frank pushed when he tried to attack Emma
Dan beat him up, because he didn't control himself well in front of the whole class, not to mention Frank and Emma humiliated him in front of everyone, and this made him very angry and became Dan's punching bag and hit him more than words on the face
"So let me tell you something Barry, if you try to do something funny like that again... I will KILL YOU!, are you understood?" Dan spoke while smiling at Barry's blood covered face
"Yes! Yes!" Barry spoke with horror and fear
"Good because I will give you one chance to forgive you"
"What?" Barry asked fearfully
"Let me tell you what you will do" Dan spoke while narrowing his eyes maliciously
Sometime... inside Smiley's house
"It took him so long to get to your house Smiley, I didn't know it took that long" Emma spoke with some exhaustion
"Yes, or maybe you need some exercise, or you will end up "In the stomach of a monster," Smiley replied jokingly.
"I don't know if it's a joke or a reality when it comes to this place," Emma replied.
"So Smiley, were there any weapons in there?" Emma asked
"Hmm? What exactly?" Smiley asked
"I don't know but... anything to do with firearms, since it was a warplane there must have been" Emma spoke
"What do you think of the machine gun on the plane?" Smiley asked
"It won't work, I need a small firearm that I can put in my pocket" Emma replied
"Hmm... firearms oh oh! Yes there were weapons" Smiley spoke
"Really!" Emma spoke happily
"Yes, there were some weapons in the plane, but since they made the space tight I buried the weapons somewhere in the woods"
"Where exactly?" Emma asked
"Let me remember I... buried them..."
"Yes" Emma spoke urgently
"And I forgot" Smiley answered as he spread both palms out as a sign that he didn't know
"What, you don't remember? But you said you stayed here A day ago! How could you forget where you buried it?" Emma asked in frustration
"Yes I said that, but... you could say I was in a hurry for my new house and moved all the weapons in a box and buried them, I remember I buried it..... under a tree" Smiley spoke
"What tree?" Emma asked
"Emma you forgot where we are... we are in the Forest of Faces where the trees have hollows that look like faces, and they are all the same and different at the same time, even if I told you the details of that tree you probably wouldn't find it even if you searched for months" Smiley spoke
"So do you remember anything special that was near the tree?" Emma asked
"A special place.... hmmm..... wait a minute yes! "There was a factory near the tree you buried."
"Factory? Wait, are you saying there's a factory in the Forest of Faces?" Emma asked strangely.
"Yes, when you say it that way, yes, it seems strange that they would build a factory in a place like this."
"Where is this place?" Emma asked.
"This way," Smiley pointed his finger out the window of the plane.
"So shall we go?" Emma asked as she prepared to go.
"Oh, another adventure! I wish I'd said that first"
