The Train that stole our Tommorow. - Chapter 2 – The Girl Who Never Stopped Talking

"Excuse me..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKvuWQRgit

Methon didn't move.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ynFTXMHdK

The girl blinked twice before waving a hand in front of his face.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCI6SveEi19

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1sPzR1u6LV

Still no response.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡip2oHPapkg

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFIv1ksWcx

"You're sitting in my seat."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP8vVICMzxl

Silence.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcvs4iDZ7by

Methon kept staring at the floor as if he hadn't heard a single word.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOZiNmxaxaF

The girl shrugged.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV3H9dgVIWt

"Fine. I don't mind."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXtTraAMyQ4

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVpUsUQVTNF

"I don't really get nervous about these little things anyway."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8TABGYqJSR

The train began moving again.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IZ5MdA4rR

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2StOxbtKQK

His expensive suit.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgAado6TVi

His tired eyes.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0ngInshfku

His clenched fists.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVzoNh0d5A7

The way he looked completely lost despite sitting among hundreds of people.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8LaWjsgu8e

She tilted her head.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOq5rAw4oa

"You know... you look like someone who hasn't smiled in years."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQsztKZtr88

No answer.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bkobpsTp1

"My name is Valindra."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjCwwfvBQl4

Nothing.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKSjXvudVtn

"I'm a college student."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfuC0J0ZHt

Silence.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYn5YFTt6qa

"I'm going back to my hometown because my holidays just started."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQaWKvyNGYQ

Still nothing.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZyDeQl9Th

"My family wants me to marry someone I don't love."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGSuYleCXDd

She paused before smiling.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCqjUFYcxMb

"But I already love someone else."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiSNWKMBM7

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnuLROOklmk

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzcXCOtoES

"The funny part is..." she continued, "my family has no idea."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcM8gX2Foar

She laughed softly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4k99DGqTPt

"They've already found another boy for me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmPtDyrMqs

She leaned a little closer.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK7yclb5m5l

"But I'm not giving up."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zA7Orox6x

She whispered dramatically,

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2cmcDHpcfw

"I'm going to run away from home."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFWoGegc3B

Methon's jaw tightened.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbBT4UYfU9E

Valindra didn't notice.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMcwIl3fEu

"I love a guy named Elon."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHs74Vvxjmw

She smiled dreamily.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8nMWpo7toL

"I don't know what will happen when I reach home, but if they force me... I'll leave everything behind and run away."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJbaMIamhW

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9YjjDRl9Wy

"My parents think they're doing the right thing."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhRNp66Hv5z

"My grandparents are on their side."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtQeZoqsrr

"My cousins keep teasing me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXG6Spj2EM

"But honestly..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGI7Qk3M1I

She smiled.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFidaJoA9So

"Life is only once."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUDNBRUDmY0

"So why should I live it according to someone else's rules?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20yq9FZeTx

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1ekp8RpmMP

Valindra noticed.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9vbC3U1Y8

"Oh!"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7I9Duf1CUR

"So you can hear me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8zYt4JkjLM

She grinned proudly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeRN5kQ0fI

"I knew it."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoqXNy1GY7m

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplizTupEvf

His voice was calm...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwLoMOsrhs

Too calm.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN7CuCx60eH

"You've been talking ever since you got on this train."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFk0ZaDgxvE

Valindra's smile faded.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpbcHz3M653

"I don't know who you are."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUu2a9BbyHE

"I don't know why you're telling me your life story."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrja0XA87F

"I don't care about your family."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlXphiwE23

"I don't care about Elon."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2oGPIpXZh5

"And I certainly don't care whether you run away from home or not."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqV8T4Ujwl

His eyes were cold.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvxIAWHWfr

"Can you please leave me alone?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIGrv4QVom

The passengers nearby fell silent.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvbixDtBest

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNrwjsLHUZo

Then...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLMfJaPGgtA

She smiled.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQdzBqre5GG

"Done?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnfBSpuAVNH

Methon frowned.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAfPUsyP7PP

"Because if you're done..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT3M5x53f7b

She folded her arms.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP92ek4g0HF

"...then it's my turn."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbwPwxkcyb

"You know what's funny?"

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoJpH2ES6rG

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI63pRA12Mo

"But your face..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsI7wzW0kVL

She pointed at him.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE2zbVWTLcW

"...is screaming for someone to stay."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6IHuGx7Wk0

Methon looked away.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYJtnGoLKdn

"I've seen that look before."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFCRisJma0j

"The look of someone pretending they're okay."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXcdxNvepM

"You've been hurt."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7l6m9lcUnD

"A lot."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzNdOlGHr2J

He remained silent.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0uIG2B8m

She continued softly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGoy23Wq1E

"I don't know who broke your heart."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylzig3GZsd

"I don't know what happened."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡekHDxB8sGh

"But whatever it is..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRG4n7JnYn4

"It will pass."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCHEAL3XF45

He laughed bitterly.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMtQ6F5KnwI

"You don't even know me."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmMSJjRL1KQ

"No."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLULB9MLvfo

She smiled.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8azJuWl1UX

"I don't."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ674mDDYiqn

"But sometimes..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHinMLcJ8ld

"The easiest person to talk to is a stranger."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6jq2LW0Q8

For the first time in days...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRHKbxjExye

Methon didn't have an answer.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBqvP6mipQQ

The announcement echoed through the train.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHtNZIax3M4

"Next station..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUKkI9XJCp

Valindra looked toward the door.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlRVtHdV6Q0

"Oh."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpu6nPPbR2P

"This is my stop."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUW6tHlVBi4

She picked up her backpack.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCyXUEum9G8

Before stepping out, she looked back at him one last time.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEgqyWKnQMM

"I hope one day..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOedEE0qxAW

"...you smile again."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDth8OW1JM9

The train doors opened.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmbcnb5Smq4

Methon quietly stepped out as well.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7zKQTWMOBg

Valindra blinked in surprise.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmTnw3kUHfy

"Wait..."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡophJG8VJbx

She laughed.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7mUJTEzZs4

"Don't tell me this is your station too."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz7WOfuWfrP

Methon walked away without answering.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH9aEptlC4o

Valindra smiled to herself.

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQqw0ORkZy5

"This guy is definitely strange."

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4XHsQesrzA

She had no idea...

13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpP6odqCboy

Their journey had only just begun.13Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡorezitfnMT
