I asked the assistant behind the desk for the cheapest ticket to the farthest place I could get, meaning that for five-hundred and five dollars, I was bound for Oregon. In total, it was a 36 hour-long train ride. I mustered up all of my courage and boarded the train bound for somewhere--Oregon City. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUbtpSKkPD3
"All aboard!" The man in the blue coat yelled. I placed my bags in the over-head compartment of cubicle 221B and took my seat. The seat I had chosen was essentially a bench facing another velvet bench. A young man took his seat in front of me. He was dressed in a blue, gingham shirt with a blue blazer and a pink bow tie. He was way too classy to be in the coach section. I starred at him for a while until I lost interest. Slowly, the car filled up. Many of the people were just like me, but only at first glance. After overhearing some of their conversations, I realized they were all important business people. A woman joined the dapper man and I in our cubicle. The three of us sat in silence for a long while. The nicely dressed man spoke first.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0yuKgEJhY
"Well, hello, ladies. My name's Thaddeus, but I respond to Tadd also." His smile beamed as if he was proud of some accomplishment. The young girl returned a short glance at Tadd. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpqvEzlwN4P
"My name's Makenzi." She smiled, yet it lacked emotion. They looked at me eagerly. Their eyes pressured me to spill my information.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzDVZGIb7TL
"Jace. My name is Jace." The cubicle regained its awkward silence. I brought out my textbook and notepad.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dXyhgqgOS
"What are you reading?" Tadd questioned.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwtYhPiIyYK
"A history textbook. I have a major in Modern US History." It was not true, but he would never figure that out. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEFNpas1BmK
"Oh," he nodded, "my degree is in enviromental engineering." He chuckled.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52BnqO6JeX
"What?" 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkru3AjQJNd
"It pays well, but it doesn't help much with the ladies." He was right, I was not too impressed.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Ae9kqoXZD
"I think it is quite impressive. I'm a civil engineer." Makenzi looked up from her novel. Needless to say, they chatted with each other about their fields. It had been at least an hour when their flirting had been interupted. A gaurd of some sort escorted a young man into our compartment. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7biffmtzCc
"Your compartment is the only one not occupied completly," Lie, I thought, "this stowaway will be kept in this compartment." With that, the gaurd left. The young man looked at us as if we had tattled on him. He nodded his head a little and lit his cigarette. I looked at him curiously, but then he swaped his glance from his lighter to me. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTGLFg4ptY9
"What are you looking at, huh?" 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCx1JvPWi3X
"Nothing." I whispered. He nodded his head and closed his eyes. The three paying customers in the car just stared at him. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWZaP0uciJ3
"Why us?" Tadd rolled his eyes. "He's going to be tedious."546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHsZcUvQAHL
"We could just let him sleep for the next 35 hours. He wouldn't be considered a nusience." Makenzi suggested. She regetted it as soon as she had said it. The man's eyes opened and he looked between us.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPxnCRshT9g
"Could y'all just shut-the-hell-up?" Tadd looked at the man, annoyed. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJv63n5ecDn
"No, sir, I shant." Tadd puffed out his chest and crossed his arms. The man laughed.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJhTKZKAzBg
"Okay, Shakespeare, you can try and look tough, but you're just a scrawny kid. So chill." 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTXzRdMgCQ
"Kid? Kid?" Tadd was certainly offended. "I am not a child. You, sir, are the child." With that, the man to my left rose to his feet. Tadd beating his height by at least a foot. The man sunk down into the bench and looked around. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTQ8qMpAc1k
"'Buncha freaks." He mumbled, shutting his eyes for another hour. By the time lunch came, Tadd had fallen asleep on Makenzi's shoulder and she on him. The man next to me woke up enough to eat his food. When we were both done, he spoke to me. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDcFLmFNHN
"My name's Beau. I'm sorry 'bout what happened earlier. I'm not usually that physical, or, that close to becoming physical." 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUZLOjBbMOr
"It's alright, I just don't suggest you try it again." He smiled a little out of the corner of his mouth. "I'm Jace." He shook my hand. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlRVekWAiC
"That's a very pretty name for such a--"546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEu6ZLM4nzX
"Could you please. Stop. Talking." Makenzi whispered. Beau scowled at the half asleep girl across from him.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKhapO9VfsH
"Lovely lady." He finished. I felt my cheeks become red and flushed. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvEqi3L6YvY
"Thank you very much." I glanced over his bare arms. Every so often while looking at him I would see a few, tasteful, tattoos. There was a beauty to the ink spread across his skin. He was a canvas, an artist, and the portrait all in one. I remember Helda yelling at me about my first tattoo. 546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAONwyQDhjA
It was distasteful, I'll give her that one.546Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLsk9wRuOee
