Well he thought it was small, as a reaction to the abuse, Patroclus' suitcase, burst open, splaying its contents onto the train floor. "Great" he hissed through gritted teeth.
Kneeling he scooped all his belongings back into his case, and as he stood up, saw a flash reflection in the window of an empty cabin.
Sliding the door open with his heel the boy dragged his suitcases into the room, leading in with his back. As he shut the door and whirled around, he found that it cabin was not in fact empty as he had first thought. There was Marie, crying......
Patroclus and Marie were definitely friends, but he didnt think he was the one she would want to try and console her. Deaming it too late to evacuate, the lion decided to pretend he hadn't seen the tears!
"Hey Marie! Can you believe it, we are almost Fourth Years! Crazy!"
Sitting there with her eyes still closed Marie heard her compartment door open. How could that be, she
thought she had locked the door behind her. Quickly wiping her tears away she looked up prepared to yell at whoever it was to GET OUT! Seeing that it was Patroclus though she didn't do that.
She turned around in her seat still hugging her legs,
"Hey Patroclus," she said with a forced smile.
"Yeah, this year went by fast." Too fast really. She couldn't believe that she wasn't going to see Professor Truebridge anymore and that Professor Lawson wasn't going to be their either. Of course she WOULD be seeing him again just as soon as he sent those comcert tickets to the girls.
Then there was Carter, she had NO idea when she would see him again. She didn't even know if he was on the train. Thinkng about him started to bring tears to her eyes again and she did
not want to cry in front of Patroclus.
"You got anything exciting planned for summer?" she asked as she once again wiped the tears from her eyes. She was sure that whatever he had planned had to be better than what she was doing.
