The Girl Under the Umbrella
The Girl Under the Umbrella
📍 Many years ago...
👧 Emma was walking home when she saw a girl.
☂️ The girl held an umbrella low over her face.
Emma couldn't see her clearly.
The mysterious girl never looked up.
She simply walked past.
🌧️ Tap... Tap... Tap...
A few days later..
📚 At tuition class...
Emma froze.
The umbrella girl was sitting quietly in a corner.
Emma
"You... you're the umbrella girl!"
And just like that...
A friendship began. 💕
✨ They discovered they studied in the same school.
🏫 Same school. 📖 Same grade.
🚪 Different classrooms.
Every day they talked more.
Every day they smiled more.
But Emma's cousins noticed something strange...
Whenever Sofia walked through the neighborhood...
☂️ She always held her umbrella low.
Never looking up.
Never meeting anyone's eyes.
Cousin 1
"Look! The dead body is coming!"
They laughed.
But Sofia never did.
She simply walked away.
☂️ Head lowered.
💔 Silent.
And Emma didn't know it yet...
But those words hurt Sofia far more than anyone realized.

"I Don't Like It"
Next week...
📚 Tuition class.
Sofia suddenly rushed toward Emma.
Her eyes were red.
Sofia
"I don't like what your cousins call me."(。•́︿•̀。)
Sofia
"They keep calling me a dead body..." (╥﹏╥)
Emma
"Don't cry! I'll make them stop!" (•̀ᴗ•́)و ✨
Cousin 1
"Where's your dead body friend?"😈
Cousin 2
"Whoa, she's angry..." 😳
Emma
"Her name is Sofia!" (•̀⤙•́)
Emma
"Don't call her that anymore."
Emma
"Because she's my friend."
For the first time...
The teasing stopped.
🌸 The next morning...
Emma and Sofia walked to school together.
Sharing stories.
Sharing snacks.
Sharing smiles.
Maybe childhood was really this simple.
Or maybe...
It only felt that way before the storm arrived.
🌧️
✨ To Be Continued...
The next morning...
Emma waited outside.
Soon Sofia appeared.
☂️
Sofia
"Good morning"~ (◍•ᴗ•◍)❤
A smile returned to Sofia's face.
And Emma smiled too.
The two girls walked to school together.
Speaking about homework.
Sharing thoughts about sticker collection.
Talking about absolutely everything.
Neither of them knew it yet...
But this friendship was about to become one of the most important parts of their childhood.

Three Umbrellas
📍 A few weeks later...
Emma and Sofia weren't alone anymore.
A new friend had joined their little world. ✨
👧 Isabella.
She lived nearby and went to the same school.
At first, she was shy.
But after sharing a few laughs...
She quickly became part of the group. 💕
👧 Emma 💜 👧 Sofia 💙 👧 Isabella 💛
Three girls.
Three umbrellas.
One beautiful friendship. ☂️✨
🏫 After school...
The three always stayed together.
🍱 Sharing lunch boxes.
😂 Laughing over silly things.
📚 Helping each other with homework.
Even the boring school days became fun.
One afternoon...
🚌 The girls secretly took the bus home.
Without telling their parents.
Isabella
"We're definitely getting in trouble if they find out."
Emma
"Then let's make sure they don't find out!" 😎✨
Sofia
"Emma! That's not how it works!" 😂
The three burst into laughter.
🌧️ Days passed.
Then came a rainy afternoon.
The sky was gray.
The roads were wet.
And three colorful umbrellas walked side by side.
☂️💜☂️💙☂️💛
Suddenly—
💦 SPLASH!!!
Water poured down from a building above them.
Sofia
"No! This is fun!" 😂
Soon...
All three girls were laughing.
☂️ Jumping in puddles.
☂️ Twirling their umbrellas.
☂️ Getting soaked by the rain.
For a moment...
Nothing else mattered.
No worries.
No sadness.
Only friendship. 💕
But sometimes...
The happiest memories come before the biggest storms.
🌙 That night...
Emma's mother revealed a secret.
A secret about Sofia.
A secret Emma was never supposed to know.
💔
And one wrong decision...
Would soon change everything.
