Devil's Forum Chapter 4

4.
"It's sooo boring in here!" Kimmi thought to herself. It was 11:30 a.m. in physics class. "I am going to take a nap, since I'm in school, I don't think I'll have any of those dreams."
When she was in her dream, she stood there confused. She looked at a nearby clock that read: 11:35 a.m.
She saw her father talking to a strange man. The man was tall, about 8 feet tall. He was pretty robust too. He had a slender nose, long, sleek, jet black hair, and piercing, snowy, white eyes.
Kimmi was too far away to understand what they were saying, so she inched closer, but attempted to remain out of sight. Her father was yelling furiously.
"...Sorry, but that was not part of the deal!"
"So," said the man calmly, "You signed the contract, and it specifically stated that..."
"I don't care." Mr. Yen interrupted.
Kim wondered what they were talking about, but it was too late.
"Ms. Yen!"
"Ms. YEN!"
It was Mr. Wilkes. Her combination of snoring and sweating had disrupted her nap.
"Ms. Yen, what is the answer to number three?"
"Uh, kinetic energy?"
"No, that was last month's topic, or did you sleep through that chapter too?"
"Sorry sir."
The rest of the day seemed to go by just the same. She would sleep, have the same dream, only they were at different parts of the same conversation. And every time she would try to learn something from her dreams, something would happen to wake her up.
"This is getting old," Kimmi whined to herself "I wanna know what they're talking about!"
A few hours later after school was let out, Kimmi and Sean met at the Ice Grill restaurant.
"So Sean, did you read any relevant articles, about, well, you know what."
"Oh, you mean the ones about the women other than you with chronic PMS?"
"Moron." Kimmi growled as she poured her large slushy in Sean's pants.
"Aaahhh, that's cold!" Sean screamed.
"Ha, serves you right."
"Anyway, yeah, one of the Devil Articles, I read one, this guy Sam McNeal, he sent an article."
"Sam McNeal, huh?" Kimmi said with interest.
"Do you know him?"
"No, but I know he is a super-rich tycoon that owns the restaurants we eat at."
"Well, do you remember that Alex guy? You said he had a weird mark, right?"
"Yeah, why?"
"So does McNeal."
"Weird, so do you think it's true? Sean? Hey!"
At that point in time, Sean got bored and was goggling the Reese sisters, the most popular girls in the 11th grade.
"Huh?"
"Would you stop staring down the the two whores with the fakest boobs in our school?"
"Ooh, fine, were you saying anything."
"Do you think that the marks have anything to do with each other?"
"Duh, both of them make deals, and both end up with marks. What can scream obvious more than that?"
"I dunno, slim chance if they did meet the devil, he might go after special people." said Bill, shocking the two of them.
"What the HELL do you want!?" Kimmi shouted with her fists balled.
"Just go away, we don't want to have anything to do with you."Explained Sean, calmly yet angrily.
"Look, I don't want to start anything, I just want to apologize for earlier."
"I don't want to hear it! I am not in the mood to hear your crap!" shouted Kimmi furiously.
"Yeah," calmly replied Bill, "how about this, if you guys listen to me, uh, Jack Daniel's steak for the both of you, on me."
"Fine, whatever." sighed Kimmi.
"So, anything smart you have to add to this?" asked Sean.
"Yeah, I just want to know why would the devil would want just ordinary people, especially some of these losers. I don't get it."
"Same here," said a calmer, more relaxed Kimmi "What's with all of these people? It's the fact that he's using people who have screwed up lives, and is taking their souls, now the only question is, why?"
"My question is why are we involved in this, we are just Juniors in high school." Disappointedly asked Sean.
"Yeah, come to think of it, Kim, why are you so interested in this stuff?" Curiously asked Bill
"Ok, listen, I will tell you if you promise not to tell anyone, not even to your own mother."
"Sure, that is, if you can trust me again."
"Alright, this is the story. Every night, once I fall asleep, I find myself in the same dark and dead forest. In that forest, I hear something calling me, it seems to be some dark, ominous voice. When I hear it, I run. While I'm running, I see names grafted into the trees. Thing is, I came across the names Alex Jones, and Sam McNeal, tow of the names that we came across on the Internet. Is that a good enough explanation for ya?
"Yeah, I guess so." said Bill, although still looking puzzled.
"Yeah," inquired Sean, "but why are we, as in us two involved?"
"Because you two are my best friends in the world."
"Ooh, now we're friends." sarcastically laughed Bill.
"Come on, don't be that way," laughingly said Kim. "Seems that we are going to get along just fine again."
"Ssh! You're in a library!" violently whispered the librarian. "If I have to keep telling you, I will have to ask you to leave."
"Okay, sheesh, calm down old lady, we're just having a discussion." Bill angrily whispered back. "Besides, can you not see that couple making out over there, those children running around, and that suspicious guy over there? Get off my case and deal with the more important problems than us!"
"Shut up, Bill!" Sean muttered under his breath.
"Let this be your last warning." Threatened the librarian.
"Bill, just let be, you can't win." apathetically spoke out Kim.
"Fine," sighed Bill "You win this round, don't expect to get so lucky next time."
Kim and the others studied for a few hours, until Sean felt that he had enough.
"Yep, it's official, I'm officially bored out of my head, and I no longer care" he sighed, "If you need me, I am with Denise."
"One," Kimmi listed "She rejected you last week, two, she has a man, and three, she's going to bump him to go out with Eryka."
"Wha?" Whispered Sean, "She's a lesbian, how, when did that happen?"
"How?" Retorted Bill, "You are more out of the loop that I thought. Last week, the came out of the closet, and out of denial."
"Damn, I shouldn't have waited too long."
"Your fault." laughed Kim.
