Chapter Four
" Why would they leave without us? I told that girl I was going to the vending machine" I pace back and fourth through the subway sation. I absolutely hate being lost.
" I don't know" Luke says trying to think of another plan. I sit down and put my head in my hands. The train was coming in 5 minutes It took me like a minute to get my water. What train comes 4 minutes early?
" So what do we do now?" I ask whipping out my phone texting Savannah.
" Take the next train and meet them there"
" Aren't you supposed to stay put until someone comes and gets you?" I text Savannah missed the train can you tell Mr.Gibson? I'm with Luke ~ A. Savannah always hates when I sign ~A on to my texts which makes sense , us being such huge Pretty Little Liars fans.
" That's if your in kindergarden and can't make your way around a city by yourself" Luke says looking at me like i'm an idiot. He continues " Lucky for you, I can do that"
I roll my eyes " We should go to the map and check which train is ours" I start walking down the hallway looking for a map. But Luke stops me. The train pulls up and people start to flow out of the train as fast as water spilling.
" That's probably it"
" Probably?! I don't need to get more lost than I already am!!" I say
" It's going in the right direction!" Luke says grabbing me by the arm and pulling me towards the train.

Luke and I stand in silence for a few minutes. He is leaning against the pole and I am sitting on one of the only seats available. " So when are we going to get off?" I know i'm pushing Lukes buttons ,but I feel like I'm about to have a panic attack.
" Central Park, I guess" He says shrugging his shoulders
" YOU GUESS?!" I start to feel my throat close and my breathing speeding up.
" Calm down, you texted your friend right?" He asks me while fixing his hair.
" Yeah, but she isn't replying" I look down at my phone for what feels like the billionth time in the last half hour. I feel so sick but, It'll be fine. " I feel like we should get off" I say still looking down at my phone
" Why?" Luke asks as our eyes meet when I look up at him.
" We're underground, who knows if we made an unexpected turn. Besides do you know where any of these streets are?" I point to the little sign saying the names of the stops.
" Fine" Luke says actually taking my idea. Finally.
We get off the subway car and walk up the stairs. The bright sun shines in my eyes and out of habit my hand goes over top of my eyes to shield them from the rays. All I can hear is Luke swearing, so I attempt to get used to the light. Soon enough when my eyes settle down I notice the red lanterns hanging from the street lights, the crowds rushing in the streets and the stench of fish from the vendors on the side walk. " How the hell did we end up here?" I look over to Luke who is grabbing his phone from his pocket.
" China Town, great navagation skills Luke this is basically Central park" I say not even looking at him.
I look around at all the people walking the streets; most with groceries in hand. Not many tourist except Luke and I. I start to feel myself walk to get a better look of the streets, but before I can go far I feel someone grab my arm. " Where do you think your going?" Luke asks me. I shrugg my shoulders and walk back over to where Luke and I were formerly standing. "Shit" Luke says rubbing his eyes in frustration. He finally shows the phone to me. There's a map of New York on it. Why didn't he use this before?
