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

"Excuse me..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUfE1YwV1E

Methon didn't move.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcStDleoDWo

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnR29uZpmgU

"Hello? Earth to handsome stranger."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvJjeX9Lmd

Still no response.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6A26I8ySYD

She sighed dramatically and pointed at the seat.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysQsNjveh0

"You're sitting in my seat."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡixthfo6Ibb

Silence.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgxaShaehe

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkqa0ddPOCC

The girl shrugged.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfqoh53t5Ds

"Fine. I don't mind."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXi7gFQVvo

She smiled to herself and grabbed the overhead pole instead.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXl0Tk99dL

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMK2GIdj59l

The train began moving again.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwKrYGC0Qs

For a few seconds, she quietly observed him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBJxtOFWcdR

His expensive suit.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgzCA5Yt8hf

His tired eyes.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73685aY8YV

His clenched fists.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4mmEk8Sev

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTUcOD0lRmc

She tilted her head.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjN0ssoC21l

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLhnQ9Rm1mH

No answer.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2xZr7EnHg

"My name is Valindra."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjc0ECYug6C

Nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCq3LbsJE1w

"I'm a college student."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDglTGqZfIw

Silence.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5XMUo8TmZ8

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq9JoN2WL0j

Still nothing.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtnOHORdNpm

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRtzOxH6tW5

She paused before smiling.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrUJHrk0cf0

"But I already love someone else."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHQxEO85Lz

Methon's fingers tightened slightly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP4WRkoU4tu

His eyes remained fixed on the floor.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡabMwjiFrQR

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhfKNa2SeK1

She laughed softly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhzBJVtJKlK

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdsntprTJAH

She leaned a little closer.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEatzrneK8A

"But I'm not giving up."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡopXuOfJPta

She whispered dramatically,

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwDei1ISRAk

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUtOtpbfbHf

Methon's jaw tightened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeSWFuvaPOc

Valindra didn't notice.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4J4mQ0OP5M

"I love a guy named Elon."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVKl1eSDvVA

She smiled dreamily.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgjjGUvrOiI

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKCFU2kZes

She kept talking without expecting a reply.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡExQry4IR9Z

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJoGlvyq9zo

"My grandparents are on their side."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJl1KF5VCLg

"My cousins keep teasing me."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ25F8x4b9vq

"But honestly..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfLw6XSyNPD

She smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZoscgad9I

"Life is only once."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡctOfQWRQSa

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWiriIcVclS

For the first time, Methon slowly lifted his head.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU988PFh6d9

Valindra noticed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3jvg0hy69i

"Oh!"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYfZb0gK6I

"So you can hear me."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuzg6qLYwH9

She grinned proudly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx5viAcNOEu

"I knew it."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDC4a00Mbvr

Suddenly, Methon stood up.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyt7YVFop4a

His voice was calm...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVUrxH1SWA

Too calm.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwoyH7HzKm4

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBNfq72ODKm

Valindra's smile faded.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx46KUTYz7y

"I don't know who you are."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMCHKRjp9z0

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjXscnN1aQ

"I don't care about your family."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr3xSM2Ah8X

"I don't care about Elon."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJylBaym6l

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQvPo0AqBAa

His eyes were cold.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW8BiVQQtji

"Can you please leave me alone?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1QgBPd5hAE

The passengers nearby fell silent.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLEKLcVpEOM

Valindra looked at him for a moment.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoWk1wxYtPc

Then...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wa4FOB9bx

She smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKRgdwRd4oZ

"Done?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIJbhDONBOg

Methon frowned.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6jMRe8aKgW

"Because if you're done..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBQWN7Ne0v

She folded her arms.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEMWuNw5vmg

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk3plIOKNWg

"You know what's funny?"

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAFTHrMwpw

"You keep telling me to leave you alone."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4E6hyC1jFC

"But your face..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM3eJ0Vah6c

She pointed at him.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9O5i5WTpm

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHuUsTGibD0

Methon looked away.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnkEhgfQci

"I've seen that look before."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFI8DzSobDN

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV9gbIHGZNc

"You've been hurt."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgmMdnt2Hp

"A lot."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡooj31xclpB

He remained silent.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaojbzmQquH

She continued softly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTggQTu0JF

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PlPIR5xxT

"I don't know what happened."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMYK0yvIaa4

"But whatever it is..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV03zLNnWCu

"It will pass."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2hoo81gvQD

He laughed bitterly.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbTeczGt1rb

"You don't even know me."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl4AaMmnFXe

"No."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJi4SXyxP8I

She smiled.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡadRNBO1Q5D

"I don't."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJORBoT3cj

"But sometimes..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhz9MxIJnpE

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuwD2C7PZDe

For the first time in days...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiSTs1gOKYn

Methon didn't have an answer.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjzt9K4Dasu

The announcement echoed through the train.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9PWGGimb6V

"Next station..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wEI6snmLe

Valindra looked toward the door.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQKdlIxBI8W

"Oh."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYARZd6kfBg

"This is my stop."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3quLU0wZtw

She picked up her backpack.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk7OIu80xW6

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡti0PBCpHcJ

"I hope one day..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhlcyiCev60

"...you smile again."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68eSenpLca

The train doors opened.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrxZGQZKI5f

Methon quietly stepped out as well.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiw3QjJDe6V

Valindra blinked in surprise.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4yS1lit1B

"Wait..."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9CzYwjGs2B

She laughed.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5f53JBN2M

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

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqObgZqm1Es

Methon walked away without answering.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzlflh28CnG

Valindra smiled to herself.

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkID9V1KXoH

"This guy is definitely strange."

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwTstE6q1c8

She had no idea...

11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAWrUDtfQ4t

Their journey had only just begun.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkQdjO5BbDI
