Chapter 2~

Cathie~

I felt a hand on my shoulder gently shaking me awake.

" just five more minutes!"

And I swat at the evil hand waking me from my peaceful sleep.

"We're at the train station though..." A British accent tells me.

Suddenly I sit up straight, wide awake now. And suddenly yesterday's events filed my mind. I look over and see the same guy who had asked to sit by me back in New York. When did I fall asleep? Last thing I remembered i was watching the rain and listening to music... I guess I drifted off.

I then looked around realizing we were the only ones left on the train except the cart guy, who was looking at us impatiently. So I got up and grabbed my phone and suitcase as quickly as possible and ran out the car.

I felt a hand grab my elbow. Before I knew what I was doing I turned around and kicked the thug in the side causing him to let go of my hand and fall to the ground clutching his side. When I saw who it was I was shocked to see the guy from the train, who had woken me from my slumber when we arrived! I got on the ground next to him

" oh my gosh! I'm so sorry I thought you were a mugger! Are you alright?"

It felt like forever before he responded " ya Im ok. Just hurts a bit haha"

Relieved I let out a sigh " you scared the crap out of me!"

he looked at me when he stood up and held his hand out for me. I took it and he pulled me up. He pulled a little too hard and I flew up a little and bumped into his chest. I giggled "sorry" and put some distance between us. But dang he had some abs!

Then he surprised me by saying " no it's my fault, umm-"

"Cathie"

He looked at me then said " yes, Cathie. That sounds like a nickname? "

I was surprised most people just assumed my name was Cathie but that's spelled C-A-T-H-Y."Yes actually it is. It's actually Catherine but call me Catherine and ill slit your throat"

He looked at me while laughing. " now why would you do that? I think the name Catherine suits you very well." Gosh I love his accent!

Despite how amazing my name sounds when he says it I still disagree " it's just too girly of a name for me I guess"

Then he looked at me looking me up and down. I was wearing a hello kitty hoodie and black sweats with the word love in pink letters down the one leg. I started feeling self conscious about my appearance as his scrutinizing continued.

When he was done he said "well you look pretty girly to me.."

I gave him a 'your crazy' look before asking my head no. Laughing

"What's so funny?"

"Oh nothing just that you can't read people at all! Maybe if you took off these glasses-"

I said while reaching for his sunglasses. Then he swatted my hand away "No!"

I took my hand back surprised by his actions. "What did you do that for?"

He just looked at the ground and mumbled "I gotta go" and walked away.

I watched as his figure was lost in the crowd.

"Hey wait!" I started running as fast as I could with a suitcase in a crowd.

Then I tripped on something- shocker I'm so dang clumsy- and by the time I recovered he was nowhere to be seen. Defeated I walked back to the train station and waited for my aunt and uncle to pick me up.
