It's time - Imagine Dragons

Alfie

The train rolled into the station, and I felt more than ready to go. I would be different this time. I wouldn't be a weirdo, I would be a nice, confident guy. I wouldn't stutter or blush, I would say what was on my mind and live my life to the fullest without missing any chance. I just couldn't live so alone anymore. And in order not to be that, I'd have to change. But it was completely worth it, I knew it would be. And I would start right now and right here.

As I walked to the train, I felt as if I was walking towards my new future. I couldn't help but display a wide grin on my face. The people around me probably thought I was a lunatic. Wait, a lunatic is a weirdo, I quickly realised. I blushed and got my mouth back into a neutral expression. This was going to be quite a task, I sighted.

When I entered the train, a lot of seats were already occupied. I'd just decided I would just have to stand and hold on to some hand grips, when I realized I was Alfie 2.0 now. Alfie 2.0 didn't awkwardly stand around because he didn't want to sit next to somebody he didn't know, Alfie 2.0 would grap a random seat and have a nice chat with whoever would sit next to him! So I looked around to find there was one spare seat. Not at the window, but, it was a spare seat and the girl sitting next to me looked okay. I walked over, dropped my bags and took a seat. 'Hey!' I said, as cheerfully as I could. She shivered slightly, clearly she'd heard me, because she wasn't expecting somebody to sit next to her. Even though she'd heard me, she didn't turn around. Unsure if it was the right thing to do, I still proceeded: ' I'm Alfie, what's your name?' This time she turned around, a obviously fake smile plastered across her face. Was she scared of what she'd find sitting next to her? Her face became a little less tense when she saw me. ' I'm ehm... Mary', she said hesitately ' Nice to meet you'. It didn't sound very sincere, and she immediately turned her head back to the window, but this didn't bother me too much. I was enchanted by her face. It was small, framed by a lot of dark hair, which fell perfectly around it. Her eyes were a beautiful shade of light blue and her mouth... It was just gorgeous. She wore a dark, purple-ish red lipstick, which made her blue eyes even more blue and her face even more pale. Pale usually doesn't look amazing, but on her, it never felt more in place. 

' You are very pretty' I found myself saying. My cheeks immediately turned the colour of her lipstick. What are you doing Alfie? I asked myself. This is too much, even for Alfie 2.0, I thought. 'Sorry, that was a little out of the blue. Forget it' I quickly said. By now, Mary had turned her body, facing me, with a suprised, quizzed look in her eyes. ' Well, thanks anyway I guess?' she said silently, almost whispering. I could feel she was embarassed. I didn't say anything for the rest of the train ride, and neither did she. If things were going to be like this at the meet-up as well, I was screwed.
