Let me explain how this all came about.
"There's one more carriage and you, Francis, and Zoë are the only people that haven't already been assigned to their own. It looks like you two get to spend some quality time together on the trip to Upper Montevista." Said Grassina, Francis' mom.
"Can't we just squeeze into another carriage? Surely they're not all full." I asked.
"No, we're limited on space as it is. Besides, haven't you and Francis been alone plenty of times?" she said.
"Well, yes. But we weren't riding in a carriage for who knows how long!"
"I'm sure you can manage to not kill each other for a short while."
"Don't be so sure about that." I said. "If Francis is dead when we get there don't say I didn't warn you."
"Come on Zoë; just get in the carriage so we can leave already." Said Francis, who was turning slightly red in the face.
I stomped my way over to the carriage and plopped myself on the seat across from Francis.
"Can't we just act normal and pretend like we're not all alone, in a carriage, for who knows how long?" He asked.
I just ignored him and stared out the window as the train of carriages started to move.
