Half an hour. I've been on this train for half an hour. It doesn't look like its stopping anytime soon. Great.

I look out of the window, seeing hundreds of trees standing tall and grounded as they whiz passed.

"Hi."

I jump slightly, then realise that it's just a boy.

"Uh, hi?" I say.

"May I sit down?" He asks. He has an accent, but I can't quite figure out what it is. Probably French.

"Excuse me, but may I sit down?" He asks again. Definitely French.

"Sure." I say. I don't look away from him, studying this strange boy. His hair is brown, but more of a caramel blonde colour, and his eyes are a light brown with little gold flecks swirling around like honey. My intense gaze seems to make him a little uncomfortable.

"Um, hello?" He says, giving me a look that implies that I'm a fish.

"Hello." I say.

He seems shocked by my level of attitude, but eventually everyone gets used to it.

"What is your name?" He asks in his thick accent.

I breathe in, about to speak when a thought hits me. He can't know my name. I'm a fugitive now.

I stop breathing for a second or two before saying, "Lillian Coiy. But you can call me Lilly. And who are you?"

"Pierre Di Valancia." He says.

"Woah. Pretty fancy name you got there!" I say.

He shrugs. "I guess."

I go back to staring out of the window and try to count as many trees as I can. 1,2,3

........

57,58,59

...........

124,125,126

...,........

I grow tired of counting trees and begin to fall asleep.
