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

"Excuse me..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHlxnzxTMR

Methon didn't move.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzuOhtrsm7

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxsELBHLCW6

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBltoLjh3bq

Still no response.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmVoTLeL92C

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQiQAXZwAVx

"You're sitting in my seat."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjeNqEffbvn

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEhv1aRuurI

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7rnepbQRZ

The girl shrugged.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDVXaGoENW

"Fine. I don't mind."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvfJb8E0ld5

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKizHMYTfno

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2LqrPK3Lg

The train began moving again.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy3SMNJv89J

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhCFSffN6wS

His expensive suit.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV4SRENtHNZ

His tired eyes.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMz5xDDty1Q

His clenched fists.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9tQqSz7tLk

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGvI8bWosPg

She tilted her head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1EogJoTPyU

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcTAbqEJgi4

No answer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡepjsZSEeQf

"My name is Valindra."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHwNBtOQOy8

Nothing.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs7Y4poinbI

"I'm a college student."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0yel9jgWHx

Silence.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQJHLj3AvSu

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzbtHzqMhrY

Still nothing.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbi2A4sR0fF

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJWChrUKvxj

She paused before smiling.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOH0dNTFtwu

"But I already love someone else."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGnRenaGnzV

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlKmNaES2T

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAU9YYzliWk

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQh1u31KZMz

She laughed softly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIkq1rI3Cjd

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7780RNFJnK

She leaned a little closer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl3WeRqmBv6

"But I'm not giving up."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wrzqe1OKB

She whispered dramatically,

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFDFV1iqdZ0

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD90ZJpkoQR

Methon's jaw tightened.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63V7wGRdP2

Valindra didn't notice.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtP1sSMQBgu

"I love a guy named Elon."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhBrwJUAQCJ

She smiled dreamily.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡINXU3be08L

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ93gR4YHj4

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6SP55QASnf

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPC89tnNhh

"My grandparents are on their side."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmvcSJOoVF

"My cousins keep teasing me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN4B8jPTtHF

"But honestly..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaViFnsYp0

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbahaMxzCh2

"Life is only once."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Sg2yW4o98

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMMWw2bBOeY

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP22yT6KpVs

Valindra noticed.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFA1yccwhj

"Oh!"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76vYw9ps0N

"So you can hear me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0qgZ11QBVj

She grinned proudly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrwwHQHAsp1

"I knew it."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML0tRTk08C

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM7mkwzOIcq

His voice was calm...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK0KftTrAix

Too calm.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8dxuGN0DW

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyIGvcVbVzR

Valindra's smile faded.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnxAa0ZByo6

"I don't know who you are."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhvYaAkyWb

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2iPJRuUBy9

"I don't care about your family."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXmATqfb4ub

"I don't care about Elon."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6FiBhlVcaZ

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSbc2azzT6k

His eyes were cold.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGRUG2fVly

"Can you please leave me alone?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvPAOPmQ7k4

The passengers nearby fell silent.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR5o38h2YI

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCP7WYF6igF

Then...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBrCzp2oTB

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSN8x5z95aG

"Done?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXnU0WubKrp

Methon frowned.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVAAtSAOnLI

"Because if you're done..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4wUSWxgru

She folded her arms.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pShaRXofb

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKSl29iSQf

"You know what's funny?"

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegi70g3QFH

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU5ni1m15ns

"But your face..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIuCIKEMVHz

She pointed at him.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmKsRTsZCZi

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbKU2SBJuRG

Methon looked away.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgg9HH5Kslj

"I've seen that look before."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaFohK3wNT

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRWVJxpQwuK

"You've been hurt."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOdXZMDhC2

"A lot."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYAEghH8TBt

He remained silent.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ07PgZk6xey

She continued softly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIHLIjYdBFj

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCEExvAzfW

"I don't know what happened."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWOV1QECdw

"But whatever it is..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9UaTB0Y7X

"It will pass."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBlEw7NPPDV

He laughed bitterly.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB82W9dJRfd

"You don't even know me."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQB4UFEIIaW

"No."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6w7a0gsYwH

She smiled.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA7Q0cghM18

"I don't."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOhOSxFloZ

"But sometimes..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡayVGxiUf4E

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2BMrxlUxA

For the first time in days...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8k0wpYrERR

Methon didn't have an answer.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwLIdN8bemH

The announcement echoed through the train.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGIoJNx1BDL

"Next station..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRX0VHMQuen

Valindra looked toward the door.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBiI8jasAl

"Oh."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9qvKO4gOcy

"This is my stop."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvMy7sMGDOp

She picked up her backpack.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrI7A5cZwTg

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX4AorgHzuo

"I hope one day..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJfEXOLJZMT

"...you smile again."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv4Sb92MlNB

The train doors opened.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgq8XX3DeYw

Methon quietly stepped out as well.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAhS6aYyaqs

Valindra blinked in surprise.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtoggc3yAR

"Wait..."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh9qInFQZmz

She laughed.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3fJmGz8fxp

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

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOqjCVW4ejs

Methon walked away without answering.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT6Mddx9UOe

Valindra smiled to herself.

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb4X2BiDr0F

"This guy is definitely strange."

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUUvIJ6Qm3n

She had no idea...

12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSGeKipG3bE

Their journey had only just begun.12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0R8YN9dtBi
