Shelly's Pov

The train came to a hault. I looked abour shaken from the sudden jerk. The journey had been fun, singing songs and making jokes.
Gunther it turns out was another joker.

" We don't want you lost Shelly, Get up! " My calls me, screeching over the train. .
I look up into her eye, blue unlike mine.

I got up and carried my yellow bag. It went well with the pink trousers and yellow top that I had on due to the overnight journey.

I yawned and my mother irritated by the snail like speed grabbed me by the hand and pulled me out.

*Flashback *

My mother was walking beside me, I only walked faster. I saw her speed through the park and exit. I followed, my tiny legs not able to support me. My then jet black hair bouncing. Mum mum I called out.

She paid no heed. I raced to her and almost reached her.

" SHEEEE-E-LLLY!!" I heard my mother shout but from behind me.

I turned and there she was. I looked at her angry blue eyes. My brown eyes seemed to melt as the anger boiled in her.

Slap! " Why were you going off?"

I looked back in front. The woman's back seemed like my mum but she stood right in front of me

I had mistaken another woman for my mother.

*PRESENT *

" Don't get lost kiddo! " Stephen called out as my mother dragged me to the car waiting outside. He winked when he saw my mother not looking.
What was that about?

-" Don't worry" I stick out my tongue at him.
He puts his hand on his chest as if he is hurt.

-" Get in the car. " My father says from behind me. I giggle.

-" Gotcha old man" we all laugh and get inside thw car.

Stephens leg keeps brushing against mine for some reason as we sit tight in the back seat.

I blush and pull away.

I look at him to get an indication of whether he is doing that on purpose or not. He doesn't turn to face me once.

I notice Gunther looking at me and giving me a polite smile, it looked funny with his one eye small and the other big, he seemed genuinely a good person. I return it.
