Chapter 26: Rushing To Meet You

I stared at the big electric board that held multiple letters that created various words; however, my eyes were only stared at the important line.

"Delayed until eleven," I mumbled out loud, "If only I came a bit late," I scolded myself.

All of a sudden, my stomach began to growl - loudly - it was to the point that I see little kids at the edge of my eyes around me, staring as if I was an alien. My cheeks turned red from embarrassment, slowly rolling my suitcase away from those kids who I checked to see that they were still staring at me.

"Don't their parents tell them that staring is rude," I thought, completely turning around to walk to the food court.

"What shall I have?" I mumbled under my breath, looking at the choices that were available at this point. "Pizzeria Topia?...nah~. Express Eats?... maybe something else. Corner Cuisine?... Maybe. Golden Quest? Let's go," I smiled happily, bringing my suitcase along towards one of Golden Quest's cashiers.

"Hello ma'am, welcome to Golden Quest," A young staff member greeted me with a smile, "What may I get you?" She asked.

After telling her my order, I give her the exact money before stepping to the side after grabbing my receipt - waiting for my order to arrive.

RING~ RING~

I clutch my phone and press the green icon.

"Hello"

"Hello"

"Penelope"

"Did something happen?"

"No, nothing"

"Where are you right now?"

"I'm at the train station still?"

I hear mumbles from the other side.

"Are you on the train?"

"No."

"They delayed it,"

"Thank goodness"

"Thank goodness?"

"Aren't you worried about me? Questioning why I am leaving?"

"Of course I am"

I felt something suspicious within me

"You're usually busy"

"Plus I found out by James,"

"Ah~"

"One-nineteen!"

"I got to go"

"Bye, be safe"

Penelope immediately hangs up, resulting in me to put my phone back in the pocket while I was in the process to grab my food that was in a brown paper bag.

"Thank," I said with gratitude, making sure to smile at the worker before turning around to find a seat.
