.. Or maybe the trip isn't going as well as I think.

I look around, noticing a huge wave of people rushing in different directions, pushing me from one side to another.

"Ahh!" I yell in fright.

Just for a few minutes, I begin to feel a little bit claustrophobic.

I pull my arm out, waving it around until I feel someone grab it and pull me out.

I fall onto my knees, feeling slightly in relief to know that I was no longer stuck in that sea of people.

I begin panting like a dog whilst taking deep breaths.

I look up to see who exactly saved me and it was a specific blue.

"Luka!" I say.

He smiles, "are you okay now?"

I nod towards his question.

He takes my arms and pulls me up from the ground.

I look at him with a smile but my smile changed into a frown.

"Marinette, where's the group?"

I look at one direction to another, feeling a tense touch tickle my skin making drops of sweat fall from my face.

"If you mean.. The school group.. Then.. I have no idea where they are!"

I look at Luka in fright, "that means.. we're lost?!"

He looks at me making gestures for me to calm down, "hey, it will be okay."

I shake my head at him.

"It will." He confirms. "I won't let you out of my sight."

The ombre black and blue haired boy looks at me with a fierce and confident face.

"Now hold my hand!" He says.

My cheeks flush to a bright red when hearing him say that as my heart starts to move wildly like a stray cat.

"Uh? Um." I gasp.

His fingers intertwine with mine with a strong and tight grasp, it felt strange and very warm.

My heart beats became louder and louder - loud enough for me to be able to hear it hard against my ears.

He tightly holds my hand and starts running to a direction I don't know of.

Sunset was flying by which means that night is going to rise soon.

Where will we sleep? How will we eat? Most importantly.. I'm AFRAID OF THE DARK!

I squeeze his hand very tightly, I rest my head on his shoulder when we start walking.

I don't know what to do anymore, I just feel so lonely and so scared.
