A month passed since I stayed at my aunt's house and I was also able to visit different places with Carla as my tour guide. There were a lot of interesting things I saw. Specially the music store and the toy shop that sells star wars merchandise and other nerdy stuff. I'll definitely go back there for sure.
It was time for me to say goodbye to my friend. We exchanged numbers and promised to keep in touch. Heck, I even made a social media account just to let her make sure I'd constantly contact her. What a clingy person she is.
Like what I did in order to come here, my dad bought me train tickets in advance and sent the ticket through mail in order for me not to be troubled by it. He even bought me a deluxe ticket. "So you'll feel comfortable on your way home." He said.
I went to the station, gave my ticket to the clerk and went inside the train. Unlike ordinary trains with seats on both sides, the deluxe train I rode had rooms in them. It's divided into rooms with chairs in it. Big chairs -couches rather. I can sleep on them if I want to.
"Luckyyyy. You're the best dad!" I sweetly chirped.
I looked for my designated cart number which was number 12 and made myself comfortable. I placed my bag on the chair and lied down. I was slowly drifting away when my door violently opened abruptly making me sit up.
I unintentionally looked at the person standing at the frame of the door. Dang it Grace. Rule number one! Always mind your own business! No looking straight in the eyes stupid!
A guy with a very tall figure. I think his head was almost touching the ceiling of the frame. He had blonde colored hair with white porcelain skin matching his pale pink lips. He was wearing a plaid jacket and under it was a star wars shirt. I think I'll be in good terms with this guy. All people who's a fan of star wars are the best people. -NOT.
"What are you lookin' at?" He sneered. I didn't notice that I was already staring at him.
"My bad." I embarrassingly said. He scoffed and threw his bag on the opposite side of my chair and lied down positioning his two hands under his head and closing his eyes. My gaze was still stuck at him it could've put a hole in his head.
"Why not take a picture for it to last longer?" He said again.
"I wasn't looking at you with any weird reason. You forgot to close the door." I replied
"Then go close it yourself if you're that concerned." I looked at him with a blank face trying my best not to bitch on him because of his attitude.
"Unpolite jerk." I whispered and stoop up and closed the door.
"I heard you."
"Well that's what I intended to do."
*****
My ride back home was unexpectedly bad because of some stupid stranger I'm with. Every second of my ride was full of eye rolling and internal grunting. How can he easily tick me off? His good looks contradicted his bad attitude.
Instead of wasting my precious energy from bickering with this ugly baboon, I took my mp3 player out which had a mixtape and CD player at the same time. Although yes, technology nowadays makes you play digital music without the need for you to buy cds and mixtapes, I still prefer the old stuff. Luckily, I was able to borrow some of Kaylie's CD collection with her permission of course. From her collection, there was an album of the bulletproof crew which Jay was in. I opened the case and loaded it in my player. Upon hearing the first melody, a man's voice sang the first verse and it was so smooth. It made my heart thump. It was very beautiful and relaxing. All the seven voices blended so well it was a perfect harmony. Not bad, I thought. I wonder where's Jay's voice is.
