chapter 2 of that thing I'm writing
-chapter 2-
The journey was long and silent with the only noises being disgruntled coughs and normal ‘train sounds’. The boy looked around at the other people on the train. All of which were minding their own business. except one. A man. He was staring directly at the boy, curiosity seeping through his blurry facial features. The boy stared back at the man, confused. “Hello.” a simple five letter word. A word that sent the boy into a wave of anxiety and overthinking. Was the man talking to him? Could he trust the man? Why was the man talking to him? “A-are you talking to me?” the boy managed to say, despite his scribly, panicked thoughts. The man nodded, a slight smile on his hazy face. This smile somehow managed to calm the boy’s nerves. He had seen it before. The purple sweatered boy’s face lit up. Maybe this man could offer him answers about his circumstances. The boy walked over to the man and sat down next to him. “H-hi..” the boy mumbled, fumbling with the hem of his sleeve. The man nodded in his direction. “W-we should probably introduce ourselves…I..I’m kon- I mean kai. A-and you are?” the boy struggled with his words, practically making a fool of himself. He dropped his gaze to the floor and fidgeted anxiously. He almost said the wrong name too! How stupid could he be!?!? He recognized the name he almost said though…the name konner.
