How would you feel if you're going away and the person you love doesn't even care that you're going away? How would you feel?

Chapter One: The Stranger

I sat in the waiting area, watching all the other airplanes take off to new destinations. I clutched a green envelope which I had received a week ago, the scholarship to the prestigious Alice training private school in Germany. I didn't even know why I accepted the stupid scholarship – but I did.

As I looked at the album of my memories with my friends, a knot formed in my throat. I felt like crying. I was going to leave everybody I cared for. But it seemed that they didn't even care that I was leaving. I sighed to myself and looked down at my brown leather boots. I'd trade all the riches in the world to be with my friends once again. But there was no turning back now.

As I grabbed a book from my backpack to read, a stranger sat beside me. He was wearing a black hat and a green turtleneck with a leather jacket and a pair of light jeans. His face was covered with a muffler. He must've been very cold. Well, the airport was cold anyway.

I couldn't take it. Reading a book SILENTLY was fatal for my character. I needed to talk to someone, I put the book down and straightened my yellow skirt to make myself comfortable.

"Want to talk?" asked the stranger, letting out his hand.

"Sure" I said, shaking it – his hands were covered in black gloves.

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm going to Germany. You see, I received a scholarship for a school... how about you?"

"I'm waiting for a friend of mine"

"I see" I replied looking down. When she'll arrive in Germany, nobody will be waiting for her.

Many people arrived in the waiting room, sitting down and making themselves comfortable.

"Are you disappointed?" the man asked me.

"A bit – I'm leaving all my friends and my grandpa"

"Oh really? I bet they miss you too"

"They don't" I replied sadly.

"Do you want to talk about it? Or is it too personal?"

"I'd like to talk about it. Is it alright with you?" I said, glancing at my new friend.

The man nodded.

"It all started a week ago…"
