Chapter 6:
Summary:
Ezra has been forced to spend a possibly long train ride with one of her top 10 most hated people. What will come of this????Ezra's P.O.V.
Well, this is just... wonderful.... did you catch my sarcasm? I mean who wouldn't want to spend a train ride for an unknown amount of time (fairly long based on the fact that there were two beds in the compartment) with a person who you hate and hates you with little to do, right? Again, sarcasm! So yeah, by this point in time I had pretty much resigned to my fate and sauntered over to the couch, flopped down, and thought.
"What was I thinking about?" One may ask. Life. My life specifically. I mean my childhood wasn't all rainbows and sunshine, ya know? Orphaned at 7, forced to live in an unloving and borderline abusive foster family until I was 10, having to watch my best and only friend at the time suffer from depression and PTSD after her family was killed shortly after she turned 10, living on scraps of bread until I turned 12 (the legal age for a minor to get a job), watched my neighbor and so many others turn grey after Elcademy, then me myself being sent off to that place. Man oh man I had it rough. I mean I know that there are always those who have it worse then me, but seems like there are so many more who have it much better than me. There's even one in this compartment with me!
Then the intercom crackled to life, drawing me out of my thoughts. "One thing I forgot to mention," the SLM's voice boomed,"you will find clothes that for the days until we arrive at Elcademy in the dressers located next to the beds, with the pink comforter covered bed being for girls and the blue comforter covered bed for boys. Food will be delivered your compartments regularly at mealtimes. That is all." The SLM got off of the intercom.
~~~~~Skippity Skippity Time Skip~~~~
For the next few hours, Niko and I sat in silence, with me reading a book I managed to find in our compartment and him doing... actually... I honestly have no idea what he was doing, all I know was that Niko was quiet too. Oh well, don't care!Anyways, we had already eaten lunch and dinner was due to be arriving soon. I ho-ding ding ding! I was interrupted by the meal bell outside of our compartment. I leaped to my feet, man I was starving! I ate a small lunch before because I wasn't hungry then and was more than a little (I'll admit) scared. However, now I'm to hungry to care anymore.
I flung open the compartment door to be greeted with the heavenly smell of turkey and stuffing, practically drooling before I even saw the food. And let's just say that in this case it looked as good as it smelled.
After quite hurriedly pushing the food cart into the compartment, I set the scrumptious substances on the table. "Dinners here!" I informed Niko the 'it' before serving myself a generous portion of, well, everything, and sitting down before my close to over-flowing plate. I ardently shoved the first fork-full of goodness into my waiting mouth. So this is what bliss feels like, huh. I thought, savoring the deliciousness before earnestly tucking into the rest of my food.
"Well someone's hungry" an abhorrent, but admittedly resonant voice interrupted my euphoria.
Quickly swallowing my food, I replied smartly, "And is there anything wrong with that?"
And, like the 'it' he is, Niko merely rolled his eyes, before sitting down and eating. After both of us had finished, I collected the plates and dishes, loaded them back on the cart, and rolled said cart into the hallway to be picked up.
I looked at the clock, Man it's getting a bit late, I thought to myself, yawning. "I'm going to get changed for bed, 'kay?" I told to nobody in particular, and yet at the same time not really expecting anybody to listen or reply. I guess I've picked up some strange habits from living alone. However, this time I did get one, in the form of the 'its' teasing voice, "Awwww is wittle Ezwa getting sweepy?"
"Well, gee, I'm sorry for wanting to wear something remotely comfortable, and besides, a girl needs her beauty sleep." I retorted.
"Not that you'd know anything about that." I could hear Niko mutter just loud enough for me to hear as I walked behind a privacy curtain that was set up. I winced slightly at the sting of his sharp words, before covering any signs of weakness with a mask of indifference. Why did his words seem to get to me the most? I mean after living with that horrendous foster family, one would think I would get used to such derogatory comments, and such was mostly the case, except when it came to the 'it'. Pushing these thoughts to the back of my brain, I got changed into the pajamas they had in the dresser. Surprisingly, they somehow had all of my normal clothes moved into the compartment without my knowing... That's... weird...
I shrugged off this strange occurrence and stepped out from behind the curtain, dressed in a comfy pair of flannel pattern, fleece pajama shorts, and a tank top. As i pick up my book and flop down on my bed I feel a pair of eyes on me. Looking out of the corner of my eye, I catch Niko, who is also dressed in what I'm assuming are his pajamas (hypocrite), looking at me. However, after he catches me catching him (A/N how confusing!) he turns away his signature cocky smirk covering his face. Tsch, I think to my self, arrogant hypocritical jerk. Who does he think he is, making fun of me for getting dressed in my pjs already when he does the same... why... can't... just... normal... potatoes?... Alas in my wallowing I had fallen asleep.
