The Girl Unknown

Chapter 1

*Moon's PoV*

Stepping onto the crowded train, I look around trying to find an open seat or somewhere less crowded. I notice the same girl once again who is in the same seat looking out of the window like always. She was always resting her head against the window seeming zoned out and almost worried. I always have wanted to ask if anything was wrong or just talk to her in general, but I physically couldn't.

Last time I tried to I just stared at her and couldn't say anything. She was very confused and all that came out was "Bye"... I haven't tried saying anything else since then. I wanted to at least try to get her name, but I have clearly failed at that. Since that point I've been staring at her from a distance. I don't really have anything better to do on a long train ride until I get back home from work.

Her blueish gray eyes and brown hair seemed to shimmer in the beaming sunlight. It was the first time I ever really noticed, so I couldn't help but stare in awe. She wore a sandstone colored sweater that was off the shoulders and went to her thighs. Wearing black pants that went over her flat boots. Her light academia aesthetic fit her perfectly. She looked almost otherworldly today. She had a slight smile on her face which made her seem as if she was some sort of pure spirit or saint that has been untouched by the corruption of this world. Like she could be friends with anyone at any moment. She looked so approachable and like you could share anything with them.

I shook my head quickly before feeling my cheeks that burned a bit. The Siri-like announcement voiceover came on.

"Stopping at Zoron Station. Please wait until the train has fully stopped and be aware of the gap when getting off. Thank you for riding with us today, hope to see you soon."

I get off at the next stop after this, which is Kolosa Station. The train slowly came to a stop before she stood up and started to walk towards the opening doors. I wanted to say something, but it was already to late. I didn't want her to miss her stop and have to wait longer than however long she has already. I guess I'll try another day. Granted, I've been saying this every day, but that is besides the point.

I watch her leave the station as I take her seat. Looking out the window just like her trying watching where she goes next.

"I seem like a stalker..." I thought to myself, but shrugged it off before watching where she went. A person passed in front of her and seemingly she disappeared. I looked around, but she was no where to be found. The announcements rang through the train cars.

"Please be aware of all closing doors. Next stop, Kalosa Station."

I rest my eyes confused on what just happened. How did she just... disappear like that? It is physically impossible to do so. I sigh. Who is that girl?

*??? PoV*

I look out the window as the baby blue sky fades into the reddish-orange hue. It always makes me feel at peace. This seat gives me the best view so I've noticed when most people get on or off. I still find that one person who came up to me funny. It was clear, they had no idea what to say and panicked. I was a little confused at the time since they came up and just stared for a minute or two before saying bye. Now thinking back on it, it was hilarious in my opinion. It brought a slight smile to my face as I closed my eyes.

The train seemed to effortlessly move without a bump unlike those fieldtrips you used to have in elementary in which you'd always hurt your head. Now thinking back it was really unsafe since there were no buckles and you just hoped you were able to stay in your seat without falling down. Plus if there was ever a car crash everyone would probably go flying. They should have changed them by now, but I guess not.

My mind zoned out again, but I felt as if someone was watching me. I've felt this for a while, but I didn't completely mind. It gave me slight creeps, but I just thought of it as someone admiring me. Hopefully this doesn't turn out bad for me in the end of it being some kind of stalker. I shrugged it off staring back at the setting sun and it's beautiful color changing hue. I was humming a little tune my mother used to sing to me as a child. It was a long one, but it always kept me calm in large groups of people.

Everyone was shoulder to shoulder on the train besides this one spot where I always sit. No one seemed to want to sit next to me which both hurt, but also was nice at the same time. I didn't have to deal with any sleeping people or some loud and annoying teenage girl always gossiping. Granted, you don't really see many of those people on the train anymore since most teens have their own car and the train takes longer, but I don't mind. The train mostly has middle aged to elderly people trying to get from place to place. Most of the middle aged people on the train were wearing suits and carrying purses or briefcases depending on the person.

Most got on the train near 5 pm and off at the same spot. Thankfully, I have to deal with one ride before my stop with all of the business men and women. Then finally I can be in a less crowded area. Never really liked them, but I didn't seem to mind the train when it was crowded or not. I stopped my humming as the animated announcement voice echoed through all of the train cars.

"Stopping at Zoron Station. Please wait until the train has fully stopped and be aware of the gap when getting off. Thank you for riding with us today, hope to see you soon."

The train comes to a stop before I stand up and make my way over to the opening doors. The same person seems to have been staring at me during the train ride. I manage to keep looking towards the door even though I wanted to stare at them back to make them just slightly uncomfortable or to see their reaction, but I decided against it. Finally getting off the train. I looked back where I sat to see the same person was sitting there. A few people passed in front of me until I turned back around. They didn't seem to be looking at me afterwards.

"Eh, they probably just wanted my seat. I mean it is one of the best seats on the train," I thought to myself. A few more people passed in front before I left the station. I didn't want to be there any longer than I had to.

Finally getting back to my apartment, I grab my keys from my coat pocket. I fumble around with the keys before unlocking my door and walking inside. I close the door behind me, locking it. I take my shoes off by the door before walking into the house and setting my bag and keys on the kitchen counter. I go over to my bed room and plop down onto my bed thinking about the girl on the train earlier. I can't help, but wonder about her. She's been all that's been on my mind recently. Not as in a crush type of way, but wondering on who she really is. I look over at the clock on my night stand reading 9:32pm.

"Is it really that late?" I mumbled to myself. I closed my eyes again and slowly drifted of to sleep.

"Just who are you?"
