The Red Truck Pt³

Antonio: “Come down and have breakfast together, Howl.”

Howl: “K, dad.”

I went down and had breakfast with mom and dad. As usual, it was quiet and the atmosphere was cold. I dare not look at my parents. Especially my mom. I count in mind.
7… 6… 5… 4… 3… 2… 1-

Antonio: “I have to work late today.”

Miranda: “…….”

Antonio: “I have a lot of important meetings to attend. Howl, you must be home before 8 in the evening.”

Howl: “Okay.”

Miranda: “…….”

Antonio: “Don’t ignore me, Miranda.”

Miranda: “I’m not.”

Antonio: “You are clearly ignoring me.”

Miranda: “I AM NOT!”

Howl: “I’m done eating.”

I went upstairs and took my bag. I can still hear my parents’ conversation.

Antonio: “What’s wrong with you? You are in a bad mood every day!”

Miranda: “How can I ‘NOT’?! There is a murderer in my house!”

Antonio: “MIRANDA!”

Miranda: “SHUT UP! I don’t want to talk to you!”

Antonio: “… The incident passed two years ago. Why are you still blaming Howl for Rannardo’s death. You know that it wasn’t Howl’s fault. Everything is the truck driver’s fault.”

Miranda: “What driver?! He said that there was no driver there! He’s crazy! And there were no other cars except his car there! The police have checked all the CCTV! He didn’t drive carefully and properly, that’s why Rannardo’s already dead now!”

Antonio: “Didn’t you see ‘that’ too?!”

Miranda: “AGHH!!!”

Antonio: “THAT MASKED MAN! YOU SAW IT ON CCTV!!”

Miranda: “I DON’T KNOW! ARGHH!”

I heard glass shattering sounds. Hate it. I walked downstairs, outside, and went to the subway. On the subway, I tried to remember what I saw on CCTV that time.
I don’t know what I saw was a human or some other creature. A round white mask with laughing eyes and a wide smiling mouth.
I got off the subway and took the bus to my school. When I opened the classroom door, as usual, I was greeted by the terrified gazes of my classmates, except for Tom, Derren and Seven. They waves at me with their smile.
