I woke up when I heard someone shouting 'tickets'. I rubbed my eyes as I looked around. There's a guy walking around to check the tickets. I pull out the ticket from my pocket and wait for him to approached me. I looked outside of the window. It's really dark outside.
"Your ticket please Miss?" I heard the guy beside me.
I gave him the ticket. He tore it in half and returned me back the remaining half. I muttured a 'thank you'. He nodded and continue with his job. I rummaged my backpack to look for my phone. I brought my laptop, savings that I saved for this 'runaway', some snacks and some clothes too. I checked my savings and it amounted a few hundreds. I guess that's enough for me to survive until I found a job. I pulled out my phone and put on my headphones and select a song. 'Mr Brightside' by The Killers started to play. Everyone in my school made fun of me as I always listen to 80s to 00s songs or bands. I looked around me again to see if there's a lot of passengers. To my surprised there's only me and three adults.
"What am I thinking it's only 1 in the morning no one would board the train at this timing," I thought.
The train has come to it's next station.
"Dear passengers, we have come to our next stop. We have to check the train system before we can continue to our next station. Passengers may alight the train to either go to the restrooms or get a light snack. Please be back around 2am for our next station. Thank you."
I slung my backpack on my shoulders and alight the train. I walked my way to the restroom and walked around the station. I walked back to the train since it's 1.54am. When I board the train, I have difficulties on trying to find my seat again. It seems to be occupied with a girl around my age and her backpack. I walked to her and tapped her shoulder.
"Sorry to interrupt but that's my seat," you said, trying to sound as polite as possible.
She looked at the seat beside her and realised that her backpack was there.
"Oh I'm sorry," she smiled.
She stand up and get out of her seat for me to get in first. I thanked her and she returned a smile to me.
"So where you heading to..."
"Xylia, and I'm heading to LA," you said.
"Hey I'm heading to LA too! My name is Alyia by the way," she said excitedly.
The both of us shook each other's hands.
