Visit Parisa

Your body shivers uncontrollably as the piercing winter air pierces through your thin clothing and turns your blood cold. You're standing all alone on the train platform with your luggage at your feet. You passed on a coat and wore a hoodie as the forecast didn't mention the wind chill dropping the temperature at least ten degrees. It's an hour past sundown and you've managed to catch one of the last trains with a direct route to Parisa's hometown. Parisa lef t for her home three days ago while Liam and Keira left earlier in the day on a sold out passage. You however procrastinated on purchasing your ticket and are now left riding alone.

You take a window seat in a mostly empty passenger car. You place Trois in the middle seat and feed each of his heads a biscuit meant to keep him calm during the ride. A floating transparent spirit with glowing red eyes makes its way up and down the aisle collecting tickets. As you hand your stub over a slender girl comes running down the aisle so fast she runs right through the spirit. The annoyed spirit turns his head to glare at the girl who profusely apologizes as she hands her ticket over and takes a seat across from you.

"I'm sorry, that was embarrassing wasn't it?" She says after the spirit has moved on.

"What? I mean no, you're fine." The cute brunette has her long chestnut colored hair braided to the side, she appears to be a first year based on the lack of a pin on her disheveled uniform. You politely introduce yourself and ask for her name.

"My friends call me Sephy." She smiles. "I'm a first year, an unsorted." She makes air quotes with her fingers. "I'm going home to visit my parents but I had to take some make up exams and ended up on having to take the late train."

You explain that you're on your way to visit a friend. She asks if its a girl and when you confirm her suspicions she teases you asking if it's your girlfriend.

"We're just friends." You clarify.

"Well do you want to be more than friends?" She asks.

"Maybe." You reply as you find yourself honestly unsure what you want from Parisa. You're obviously physically attracted to her but haven't really taken the time to consider what a relationship with her might be like. "What about you?" you ask. " Have a boyfriend?"

"No." She lets out an elongated sigh. " I'm not interested in the boys in my class, plus they just put me on academic probation so i'm trying to focus on school."

The two of you make small talk through the night, as you two start to fall asleep, you scrunch yourself up against the window, pulling your hood over your face as Sephy pulls a small fleece blanket out of her luggage. To your surprise she moves Trois onto her lap and cuddles up next to you so the both of you can share the blanket. You're exhausted but struggle to fall asleep as you can feel the heat of her breath on your neck and her small breasts pressed against your arm.
