Going once Going twice Sold

All Aboard

I woke up at seven o'clock the next morning feeling excited and energized. We had to be at the train station by eight so we could catch our eight thirty trains from Oswego N.Y. to the city.

I got up, walked into my bathroom and turned on the shower. The warm water felt soothing on my skin. Once I finished, I dried myself and went to my closet and picked out black leggings, an oversized denim shirt, and my white converse shoes to wear on the train. I then made my way back to the bathroom to apply minimal makeup which was just mascara and eyeliner, and I threw my hair up into a messy bun.

When I finished gathering all of my things together, I made my way downstairs for breakfast with my family before Emily was due to pick me up. I put my bags by the front door and walked into the kitchen. I was greeted by my family. My mum was at the stove cooking pancakes, while my dad was sitting at the bar reading a newspaper and sipping his coffee and Ethan was scarfing down pancakes at an incredibly fast pace.

"Morning," I say, grabbing a plate of pancakes and sitting next to Ethan.

"Good morning sweetheart." My mother says. "Are you all ready to go?"

"Yes. I have everything packed and at the door." I reply.

"O.k. Then. Do you want a coffee?" Dad asks, passing me the pot.

"Sure," I said back

We sat and ate together for a while, chatting and laughing. We were talking about the camp that Ethan was going on and about my parents going to Vermont for the week to visit dad's parents. After a while, my phone went off. It was a text from Emily saying she will be at my house in five minutes.

"Emily is going to be here in five. I should get ready to leave". I say. Getting up and going over to my luggage to make sure that I had everything I need like my phone charger, wallet, emergency money, and other necessities.

I heard a honk from outside. I peeked out the window near the door and saw Emily waiting in her car. I walked back into the kitchen to say my final goodbyes, then I left.

"Bye mum, bye dad. Love you." I say, hugging them

"Bye hon. See you soon." Dad says.

"See ya later Ethan. Love Ya!"

I went back to the front door, picked up my things and walked out of the house, making my way towards Emily's car.

"Hey Em," I say loading my things into the trunk and getting into the passenger seat.

"Hey!" She replied.

I turned to look at my house and see my mom waving from the front door as we pulled away. I gave her a small smile and waved goodbye.

"this is going to be so much fun can't wait" Emily screamed in my ear, but I didn't mind I was used to how loud she was

"I know it's going to be amazing" I replied with a huge smile plastered on my face.

as we pulled into the train station, Anna and Chloe was jumping and screeching in the excitement that we had arrived and can finally get going

"Hey," I yelled running up and hugged them.

we were all huddled around each other screaming in excitement and Is I looked up people were staring at us, but I mean what the hell was excited

"Come on let's go get our seats," Chloe said picking up her bags and walking towards the entrance to the train as a watch on the train I carry my heavy bags up and stuck them in the overhead compartment and sat down with my friends. The train was somewhat clean some but of the seats were ripped there's trash in the floor in some places in some sketchy people sitting and staring at us as we talk about what we were going to do when we got to the city.

"We have to go clubbing," Anna said, "it will be so much fun."

"Yes, oh my god that would be so much fun," Emily said

"Sure, I guess, but how are we going to get in?" I asked

"Well just use what God gave us," Chloe said with a smirk.

"This is going to be great," I said smiling at my best friends.

For a while, we talked about how excited we are and what other activities we would do. After a while, I started to get the urge to go to the bathroom.

"I'll be back just gonna go to the bathroom," I said getting and going to the back of the train to look for the bathroom. I rocked back and forth slightly stumbling from the movement from the train. I grasped the tops of the seats to gain my balance every so often. Once I had finally found the bathroom, I went to knock on the door when it suddenly opened and fell back on someone. I stood up at looked at the stranger, and I was met with captivating crystal blue eyes, he was handsome very handsome, to say the least, he had hard features, and brown hair that was styled up had some little stubble around his chin and jaw lines.

"Sorry I didn't mean to-" I was in the middle of apologizing before I was cut off by a British accent.

"Its fine love doesn't worry about it," he said with a slight chuckle and a welcoming smile.

"Louis," he said extending his hand.

"Embry," I said back.

"Beautiful name for a beautiful girl," he said with a smirk.

"Thank you," I said looking down, so he didn't see the heat rising in my cheeks

"well nice to meet you but I need to use the restroom," I said

I turned around and headed towards the bathroom to go peek. While I was in the bathroom, I heard the bathroom I heard the same British accent. It sounded as though he was on the phone because I didn't hear anyone reply to him. Being the curious, nosy girl lam, I pressed my ear against the door to listen to his conversation.

"Yeah. I think I found another one for ya."

"Yeah. She's good looking." He says. "She's got long brown hair, blue eyes, tall, skinny, pretty, tan." He said, describing a girl to the person on the other end of the line.

"Do you want her?" I hear him ask. I was confused by this question. How could he give someone a girl? That seemed a bit weird, but I continued to listen.

"Yeah. I'll watch her and see if she knows any others and I'll get back to you." I hear him say. I assume he hung up after that because I heard nothing but silence. I took that as my queue to go and wash my hands and get back to my friends. As I opened the door, I tried not to make eye contact with the strange man, but I couldn't resist, and as I looked up, I was met with his gaze and received another smirk.

I quickly dismissed it and made my way back to my seat, where surprisingly everyone was fast asleep. I plopped down and leaned my head against the window. As I watched the trees fly past my eyes soon began to get heavy, and I fell asleep.
