"The train now approaching platform one is the London Underground service to Euston." The Announcers voice rang throughout the station. Anna got up from the cold metal bench and walked closer to the yellow line at the edge of the platform. She took three steps to the left, trying to guess where the doors would stop.

Yes, this is going to be the place I can feel it. She thought to herself.

Anna looked up to see the red train approaching, carriages started to pass her as they came to a stop. She looked towards a set of doors that was slowly moving towards her, then past her, and stopped a few meters to her left.

Dammit.

The Announcer told everyone to let people off before boarding, but it was early and this was the train into London, so no one was getting off here. Meaning Anna could jump straight on and dart for her usual spot in the last carriage, right at the back on the left. As the red head walked through the doors she noticed her seat was occupied, she let out a huff and decided to sit directly opposite, on the right side. As she made her way over there she took another look at the occupant.

Wow. Anna thought.

Staring at the stranger and not looking where she was going Anna tripped, stumbled a few steps trying her best to maintain some balance. Then fell her hands flying out to catch herself, she landed hands and knees on the floor.

She immediately felt a pair of hands on her shoulders. Anna looked up and saw a pair of ice blue eyes looking down at her with concern.

"Are you ok?" The stranger asked.

With those eyes looking at me? "Yes, I think so. I mean my knee is stinging a bit but I'm sure it's nothing. In fact I'm certain it's nothing. You don't have to help, -not that I don't want you to help, but I don't need help. –I'm sorry, please tell me to shut up before I make more of a fool out of myself." Anna said, blushing slightly as she clambered to her feet. God I'm so awkward

The stranger had let go of her shoulders and just smiled and nodded, before returning to her own seat. As originally planned Anna took the seat across form her, then immediately decided it was the worst idea she'd ever had. She had no idea where to look, her eyes kept trailing over the blonde in front of her.

Wow she looks good, how does her hair DO that!

Anna locked eyes with the blonde for all of one second before looking down to her lap, a blush creeping up onto her cheeks. She didn't notice the stranger had looked down to her own lap at the same time, red growing on her pale cheeks. Oh god don't look at her again, PHONE! That'll work, I'll pretend I'm texting someone.

"Anna." Kristoff said waving a hand in in front of her eyes. Anna blinked several times before swatting away his hand.

"Were you daydreaming again?" Kristoff asked thumping down on the couch beside the red head.

"I was just thinking –hadn't noticed you'd got up." Anna replied.

"About her again? Come on Anna, it's been over a month now, just get over it!"

"It's hard Kristoff when you see her every morning!" Anna said, slumping further into her seat. They were in her apartment that she shared with Kristoff. It was early, and Anna soon had to set off for work.

"And I've told you a thousand times. Talk to her!" Kristoff said.

"I can't! It's been too long. I can't not talk to her for six weeks, then all of a sudden swan in and sit beside her and ask for her number! Besides it's basically illegal to talk on the train in the morning, she'll think I'm crazy!"

"You're talking to her, not flashing your tits. Just say hi."

"No Kristoff, I need a plan, or something."

Kristoff sighed "Whatever Anna, I'm going back to sleep."

Sleep? …Sleep! "That's it!" Anna shouted.

"What's it?" Kristoff said, bringing the palm of his hand up to his face.

"Sleep!" Anna shouted. "I'll pretend I've fallen asleep on the train, we sit facing each other so she's bound to notice. Then when our stop arrives she'll get up and wake me, I can thank her and that will break the ice." Anna was now jumping up and down in her seat with excitement, she couldn't wait to leave for work.

"You might not have long remember." Kristoff said.

"Yeah little chance of that happening. I spilt coffee all down myself remember."


Ok, I'm ready, I was born ready! Anna psyched herself up, eyeing the approaching train. She'd taken her place along the yellow line, guessing the resting place of the doors – which she got wrong, again.

She boarded the train, her eyes flicked up to the rear left corner of the carriage, her heart fluttered as she saw the 'blonde bombshell' , Anna's internal nickname for her, sitting in her usual spot completely lost in a book.

Anna walked over to her new spot and took a seat pulling out her phone as usual. She yawned loudly with a comically over exaggerated arm stretch. Anna looked over to the blonde for a few seconds. She was still reading, completely in a different world, staring down at the book. Her face suddenly lit up into a smile, followed by quiet laughter. She glanced up from the book to see if anyone noticed, Anna quickly looked down to her phone. Oh my god that laugh! She's so cute.

As they got closer to their stop the yawning increased. And when only a few minutes away, Anna rested her head back onto the window behind and closed her eyes. A faint sound of fake snoring escaping her mouth.

Their stop was announced. This is it. Her heart was beating faster and she could feel her palms getting sweaty. She creaked open her right eye just enough to see a blurry blonde still reading. Anna felt the train begin to slow, anytime now she'll put the book down.

The train got slower and slower and eventually stopped. Anna heard the blonde bombshell shuffle. She heard a bag zip up, then heels clicking on the floor. Anna's heart pounded in her ears, making it difficult to decipher noises. She heard more steps then silence, the red head took a deep breath and held it.

She carefully opened her eye again so see the opposite seat empty. Anna's eyes burst open as she sat up and lent forward. Through the windows she could see the blonde on the platform walking away from the train, book held out open in front of her. "Dammit." The red head mumbled, before bolting for the door herself.

Once settled at her desk at work she let her mind wander back to the train situation.

Why didn't she notice me? Does she not like me? Well even If she's not gay, she would just wake me up to be nice, right? Maybe she was too into that book and didn't notice. Yeah that's probably it! And I was being quiet sleeping, so she had no reason to look up. I need another plan, maybe a little bit louder to get her attention.

"Hhmmm."


A/N: Hhmmm Indeed. What could Anna possibly have in store next?
