Ocean of Innocence

All Aboard

Minori's POV
Do you ever have the feeling that a certain event can change your life someday? Well... I haven't... I mean, that's what I thought, at least...

While I was trying to do some laundry, I heard the telephone ring. As soon as I picked it up, there was a strange symbol on the phone's screen. Then, an unfamiliar voice spoke from the phone.

"Minori Tanaka," the voice said. How does this person know my name? Did they get my address?

"It is time to decide your future," the voice spoke again. "Your destiny is calling. Take the 17:25 outbound train." I picked yes and decided to go. I then looked at the clock, and it says 17:15. Oh, crud! I better hurry!

I then headed outside and rushed to the train station with the phone in hand, knowing GOOD AND WELL I might end up worrying my sister Kanna. Sorry about this, sis...

*timeskip*

Once I got in the train station, I dashed into the train just before it was about to take off. Phew... Close call.

*Another timeskip cause I'm laz

Once the train made its stop, I hurried downstairs to catch an elevator, and thank goodness, I did! Then, the elevator door opened aa it stopped heading down. I went out of it and saw a bunch of kidd who are pretty much the same age as me. Could he be part of this "future game," too?

I looked at the clock, and it says 17:40. Shoot! I got five minutes left. I looked around to see which train I should go on.

I rushed to the train that's on the right, and went inside it. Then, once I'm in, I went to sit at an empty spot.

After I took a breath, I saw 3 other kids. One, a blonde girl checking on her phone, two, a chubby boy who's looking out a window for some reason, and three, a boy who's younger than me getting bullied by two older boys.

At the last minute, the train's doors were about to close, but before all the doors closed completely, a boy with goggles jumped through one of them before they were completely shut. Nice landing, I guess. Then, as soon as the train started to move, I turned my head away, hoping I don't get attention from the 4 other kids. Why? Well... It's a long story.

3rd Person POV
"Say, uh, you guys here because of the phone thing, right?" The goggles wearing boy named Takuya asked.

The blonde girl known as Zoey and the chubby boy named J.P. both responded, "Yes," while Minori silently nodded her head.

"I guess with him and her, that makes five of us," Zoey said, referring to Minori and the small boy named Tommy. Minori fiddled with her fingers, struggling to figure out what to say.

"Maybe it's some kind of special event or something," Zoey wondered.

"Why are you guys on the train? Is it because of the message?" Takuya asked.

"It... It could be that way," Minori finally spoke. Zoey noticed this, and went to sit next to her.

"Hey, you talk," Zoey said, making Minori blush and cover her own mouth.

"This train was the closest to the elevator," JP said. He then noticed Zoey and Minori sitting next to each other, and pushed Takuya out of the way to get to them.

"So, anyway, hi. My name's JP," he introduced himself.

"Oh, uh... Minori Tanaka. N-Nice to meet you," Minori said softly.

"Well, nice to meet you, Minori. I'm Takuya," Takuya said. After he finished introducing himself, Tommy spoke up.

"H-Hello... I'm Tommy, but I didn't choose to be here," he spoke. The others noticed and looked at him.
