I have finally packed my luggage. I put it next to the door while checking out the room if we left everything the same as it was. Larissa was leaning against the wall deep in her thoughts. She then raised her head and asked me.
- Ready?
- Yes. - I shot a smile and we could go now. We held hands while going down to the first floor. Morticia's room was also on the third floor, I heard her footsteps going behind us. I could feel her strutting by the way her heels were ringing. When we went down to the foyer we greeted our principal who was wide awake even at literally 6 am. I'm not used to waking up so early, so the morning was hell. All students have gathered and we could now go to the train station. The city was empty and we were tired so it was quiet. 15 minute walk and we were now infront of the train waiting. After a few another minutes we boarded the same train we came here with. Even the same cabin. We put our bags underneath the seat and sat down. I rested my head on the wall looking through the window. The dawn was fascinating. Larissa put her hand on my lap and then hugged me tight.
- We'll be back to Nevermore with some new amazing experiences. - she said. I wrapped my arm around her and started stroking her hair.
- The week went by so fast... Only if it could've been longer.
- Well, I did everything I had to, so I guess it's not that bad. I miss my bed.
We both laughed softly.
- Close your eyes. - she whispered. I closed them and didn't know what to expect. She took something out of her pocket and put it on my finger. It was a ring. I opened my eyes and looked at the silver ring.
- Issa...
I just can't believe my eyes. Not only she got it perfect size, the fact that she actually got it for me.
- I know we're too young for me to propose, but I thought I'd still give you this gi-
I kissed her on the lips not letting her finish. She gave in. I then pulled away a little still feeling her breath.
- I love you, don't forget that.
- I won't, darling.
I love how she always calls me darling. Infront of everyone or not, I love being called that. We both quickly fell asleep in each other's presence. Last night was tiring and we had to wake up even earlier to pack our bags.

I woke up in the bed. The black blanket was over me. Larissa was up checking out the newspaper.
- Good afternoon, beautiful.
She smiled and so did I.
- What time is it? - I asked.
- It's 2 pm. I woke up a few hours ago.
She walked up and sat down next to me. I kissed her and leaned against her chest.
- I have, uh, bad news. - Larissa said in a serious voice.
- Tell me.
- Morticia was here again.
- For fuck's sake... - I groaned.
- Believe me, it was hell. Her bullshit doesn't even make sense. The things she said about you are literally so stupid.
- What did she say?
- Well, she found out we're girlfriends and was just talking trash about you, trying to break us up, - Larissa shifted closer to me and hugged me tighter. - Her plan has failed.
I smiled at her.
- I'll make her leave us alone. Oh, and by the way, I discovered there's a cafe at the other end of the train. I went for a walk.
- Let's go there and get some coffee.
I stood up and the cold hit me after taking off the blanket. She gave me her jacket and put it on me. I kissed her on the cheek as a thank you and we left our cabin. On our way there we met our classmates, teachers and some strangers. The same annoying Julia gave us a dirty look. Seems like she has noticed me wearing a jacket that's not mine. We reached the cafe. It was a small area with tables and the counter with coffee machines. I guess they really trusted their clients, since there was no barista. The only people there were some students of our school. I don't know who they are anyways, I just recognized their faces. Me and Larissa made ourselves some latte and sat down.
- How did you even find this? - I asked her.
- I was looking for the principal. Her cabin is here. - Larissa pointed at the nearest door.
- Why were you looking for her, what happened?
- You had a nosebleed during your sleep. Was everything alright?
- I don't remember anything, so I can't really answer that question.
- Does it happen often to you? I have never seen a person bleeding out of nowhere while sleeping.
- It's the first time.
- Oh, okay. I was concerned.
- Didn't the sheets get dirty?
- No, I noticed it early and took care of it. Are you feeling okay now?
- Yes, why?
- Just making sure nothing's wrong. - she sipped on her coffee while it was still hot. She took my hand. - I'm glad you're okay... - she said and then raised her head up to smile at me. Larissa is such a cute and lovable girl. I don't deserve her at all.
- I always hated train rides. - Larissa said starting a new conversation.
- Me too, but it's only when I'm alone. It's much more fun when you're with me.
- I was about to say exactly the same. Oh, look, there's some free magazines there, let me get one. - She got distracted by the stand full of popular magazines. I also stood up, took our cups and followed her.
- Let's go back and check them out. - I said and we both left the little cafe. I opened the door to our cabin and we sat down on the comfy seat. She opened the magazine and started reading it out loud for me to hear her mesmerising voice. I rested my head on her shoulder. I could listen to her talk for hours and hours...
*****************
- We've almost arrived now. - Larissa said. The train was getting slower already. We took out our bags and waited patiently. This ride felt really long, but also quick at the same time. I was looking through the window until the train stopped and the lady on the microphone told us that we're at Jericho. We left the train. Our teachers gathered us all and we boarded a bus. For a short ride. In a few moments we were at our school again. The principal gave me our dorm keys back and we entered it. Everything was obviously in their places. I went straight to bed and hugged the big stuffed bear.
- Don't forget to take out your stuff! - Larissa reminded me before I fell asleep again. It was quite early but it is what it is. I sleep too much. Larissa sat down next to me brushing my hair with her hand and smiling.
- What a cute girl you are. - she said admiring me. I came closer to her and kissed her passionately this time. She then went back to taking out her things from her luggage. After we both were finished we played cards, drank some tea and went to sleep together.
