Chapter 3: The Train Ride

Thomas always liked the train rides to Hogwarts because they were awesome and fun but with Rory all over Marah, Natasha and Nathan making out, and Brandon and Sara being all lovey dovey it was rather boring this time. Thomas spent most of his time looking out the window as the trees and scenery past, finally he told them he was going to use the bathroom, but once he left the compartment he sighed of relief. He had never felt that uncomfortable around his friends. He sighed and began to walk down the hall when he heard someone singing, and listened in following the sound it was coming from the compartment near the caboose, he listened in outside the door. 'When the road gets dark.. and you can no longer see..let my love throw a spark and have a little faith in me..' the voice sang, Thomas opened the door. And saw Amanda with her back to him and a pair of headphones on singing to it, she had a beautiful voice. But when he shut the door to the compartment she flipped down and pushed down her earphones tucking her brown hair behind her ears, "What are you doing here?" she asked, "I should ask you the same question" he said, "Do you always sing in train compartments?" he asked, "Maybe" she said and was about to put her headphones back on when he glanced to her, "Will you sing for me?" he asked, 'When the tears you cry, are all you can believe, give these loving arms a try, and have a little faith, faith in me' she sang. He was about to comment when the door flew open revealing Brandon, "So thats where you wandered off to man.. to listen to Mormon Mandy singing" He said, Sara attached to his arm. "Uh yeah.." Thomas said glancing to Mandy who wasnt even listening to him. "Want me to sing more?" Mandy asked, "In your dreams" Thomas said ignorantly then began following his friends, and regretted saying it when he saw the depressed look on her face as he fell around the corner of the door.
