-Intro-
Hi, so this chapter is dedicated to my friend Baily . The character Peggy is her. Not really her personality though. Thanks for being my BBM (best bus mate.) You're awesome, (and slightly a dinker (jk) ) Luv ya like a sister. Enjoy..... ~Brooklyn Chartingson
"GARGH" someone said as the train jolted to a stop. On jumped many people but there was one that caught my attention. I lost her though as people left and came on. Then a few minutes later I found her again. Her long brown hair stood out the most, and the fact she wore pants! A girl wearing pants! Plus her hair was long most people on the trains had short hair or none at all. This was to prevent lice and bugs on the head.
She was plain, and seemed distant. A dreamer, there wasn't many left of those, not anymore. I missed the dreamers. She looked about 20 or older, long legs and sharp facial features. But her kind smile softened them. I though Shirley would like her for a friend, me too.
"Hi", Shirley said brightly to the girl, "I am Shirley, and you?" The girl didn't seem to notice at first but then she snapped back to attention.
"Hi..." She said slowly. "I'm Peggy. Do you know where I could get off?" Peggy was incredibly thin, she must be a new boxcar rider.
"You should stick with me," Shirley said eagerly, a little too much. "I can help you, you can help me." Peggy just stared at her as if contemplating the offer. Her reply surprised me almost as much as it surprised Shirley.
"Yes."
