Well this is my first Titanic fan fiction, so please don't judge me too hard.
I researched the Titanic although if I got some facts wrong, again, please don't stab me too hard.
Hopefully you'll enjoy.
R&R

Eva Parrino stood before the massive ship. She still couldn't believe the RMS Titanic was really here before her. Maybe she was only a second class passenger, but she determined that being a second class passenger was better than being steerage.

She weaved her way through the crowd, just a couple bags in hand. She had just enough to get her to New York, and she would start a new life there. She had tired of her life in England, and had enough money to at least get her to New York, buy a small house somewhere in the country, and furnish it with a couple essential items.

She actually could've afforded a first class ticket, but she wanted extra money when she got to America, and she was using almost all her savings on the ticket on Titanic. Not that she thought it wouldn't be worth it of course.

As she boarded the ship, she truly felt alive. The ship would dock in New York, and she would be free. Free from England that was at least. A slow smile appeared on her face, just of the idea.

Officers were patrolling the ship and the ship was already alive with passengers even before it left the port. She wondered how many people would actually be boarding the ship. She guessed about one or two thousand passengers would be on the Titanic.

She quickly went down to C-deck where her cabin was located, one of the wealthier second class cabins. She was surprised she hadn't lost her way on the ship yet, but a couple signs were posted around the ship, so that helped her greatly.

Going in her room, it seemed warm and inviting, and she could only imagine the great joys of a first class cabin… but she couldn't dwell on such things like that, the ship would take her to America, and that was all she really wanted from the Titanic.

She imagined though, before the ship left she would have one more look at England. She undressed, putting on a different dress than before, because she thought if she was leaving for a new life, she would put on a new dress to match.

The dress she chose was simply a blue dress, just a little lighter than navy blue, and was silk, one of her nicest dresses, which was a gift from her mother. Then she put on a simple necklace, with one pearl in the center.

She swept her light blonde hair over her shoulders as she started out of her room. She climbed the stairs up until she was on the deck, and people were crowded around the railings, waving to the people they were leaving behind.

A sort of dim feeling settled inside her as she thought of the people she was leaving behind, that wouldn't see her leaving. Her family didn't even know she boarded the Titanic, but they would soon. She had left a note for them saying:

"Don't worry when I'm not home, I'm on my way to America. Yes, America. I'm going to start a new life there. I took my money, and I'm wishing you the best."

-Eva

And that would be the last time she saw her mother, unless she went Trans-Atlantic again, which, from the way the Titanic looked, she would absolutely choose the White Star Line again if she did.

She stayed back from the crowd by the railings, afraid she would lose her balance with all the people around and fall into the ocean before her voyage began.

She turned around, when she bumped into somebody.

"Oh!" she exclaimed. She had thought everybody would have been at the railings… but looking behind her people were milling about everywhere, not just at the railings leaning over.

"I'm sorry about that…" she said as she recognized the man standing before her. Caledon Hockley was before her, one of the richest men ever. She couldn't believe her ignorance, and now she had gone and embarrassed herself in front of him, and she would be seeing him every day on her voyage until she reached New York! Well maybe not, she was assured he was in a first class cabin, probably the best other than the Captain's cabin.

"No, it's really no problem." The man said, straightening his jacket.

Eva stared blankly, and snapped out of her illusion after a while, to the amusement of this man. Was he actually talking to her? She didn't expect a first class passenger to talk to a second class one… although he didn't know she was second class, did he? She thought her dress was something a first class lady might wear, although she didn't have a hat on.

"Are you ok?" Mr. Hockley asked her, as his eyes were slightly wandering aft of her, trying to pick out a figure.

But of course he was, he couldn't be interested in her affairs.

"Yes, oh yes I'm fine." She rushed after a while, the words coming out in a blur. Another stupid thing she'd done in front of him. She was sure he would remember her for the rest of his life, as the girl who was stammering through her words and bumping into people.

He slowly nodded, his expression clearly showing he was slightly amused, but he had seemed to find the person he was looking for as a petite redhead walked up to him, and he put his arm around her for a second, before removing it, smiling at her.

Eva smiled at the women, who returned the smile.

"Who's this?" the girl asked, as Mr. Hockley turned to Eva.

"I don't believe I caught your name…" he trailed, waiting for her reply.

"Eva Perrino." She replied, glad she hadn't done something stupid like say her name wrong.

"Oh! Nice to meet you Eva." The redhead said, smiling and nodding her head at her. "I'm Rose." She introduced herself.

"Nice to meet you too." Eva smiled at Rose, she seemed nice.

"How about we go retire to our cabin, Rose?" Mr. Hockley suggested.

Rose nodded. "That sounds like a good idea Cal." She said reluctantly, following him.
