The Central train station was packed with people that day. People were moving hurriedly from one platform to another, desperately trying to escape from the heavy crowd. It was quite normal for such a situation to happen on a day off. A train from Eastern Meadows had just made its stop on platform 3, and people were already pushing to get out. A man who was holding his bagpack firmly with one hand sighed from the back of the pushing passengers. "Why are these guys in such a hurry? It's not like the train's going to move suddenly," he huffed, swinging his head in dissapointment.
The cool looking man in shades had waited until the hassle subsided, and made his way out of the train. He plugged out the earphones of his M-Player and looked around the station. "Man it's hot eventhough it's winter," he complained to himself. Still gripping his bagpack tightly, he manuevered his way towards the main lobby. "Well, at least I made it safely here. Here comes Dwane, Central City. Watch out!"
Dwane was a professional photographer from the eastern side of the country, coming to Central City for work purposes. It was Dwane's second time here in the Central City air, ever since he moved to Eastern Meadows after completing TESL. He could feel the tense atmosphere of the city, and was excited of his one month stay here. As he stepped into the main lobby, he continued to look around as if he was looking for someone.
His cellphone suddenly rang. Dwane picked it up and answered, "Where are you?" A soft yet squeaky voice then responded, "I'm already here near the exit. You're late!" Dwane laughed and hung up. He was already in a lot of trouble trying to get through the crowd in the lobby, and as he reached the exit he saw the person that was waiting for him. With a grin, he greeted the woman.
"Hey Bee! What's up? Sorry I'm late," Dwane said apologetically. "The train was delayed a few times." The petite woman huffed, apparently Bee didn't seem to accept the reason. "Well, you could've at least called first," she cried in dissapointment. "You know we're going to meet up with Nana and the others later. It's a long drive to Nana's house you know., and I bet they're worried already."
Dwane apologised and grin. Bee had changed quite a bit, but he was still happy to get in touch with an olf friend again. He can't wait to meet the 'others' that Bee was talking about. "Thanks for picking me up. I've tried to contact other people, but most were busy and had changed their contact numbers," said Dwane as they walked up towards the parking area. "I thought your husband was going to...woah! You're driving this?"
They had came to a halt near a blue Porsche. It was sporty and looked very expensive. Bee was now wearing a huge smile on her face. "Hehe, guess I made my dream marrying a rich guy come true," she giggled. "And yeah, my husband was suppposed to come too but he's away for a few days." Dwane stood in front of the car in awe. I guess she's still the same after all, he thought to himself. "Can I touch the car?" Dwane joked.
They laughed. Little did they know, a shadow was observing them intently from far. "Aha, now all the characters are present."
