" The extra sweet characters are the most suspicious."

For a moment, I didn't know what to say, should I comfort him, stare at him? I awkwardly coughed, bringing him back to reality.

"Still scared?" Alex asked, still holding my hand, tightly.

I nodded, " A little bit."

"So tell me more about your life." His attempt for making a conversation was poor, very poor. We had nothing in common.

I just ' lmaoed ' so hard.

Eventually, I answered, "I get bullied, that's how my life is."

He glared at me, "other then the bullying part."

I get abused, I wanted to say. " I like to eat?" I offered.

" Who doesn't?"

"Chloe."

Alex laughed,"True, I don't get how she can live without junk food."

My hand started to sweat, I stared at my lap, desperately trying to pull my thoughts together, it was no use. I wanted to avoid any potential embarrassment I might face.

"What about you?"

He gave me a confused look, "Huh?"

"Tell me more about your life."

"Nothing interesting much." he muttered.

Yeah sure.

Giving him my best youkiddingme look , he finally gave in, " Fine," Alex sighed, " I have tw- a younger sister, my mum married some old man after my dad's death."

I could swear he almost said two.

"What else?"

"I like boxing, music, and swimming. And I play guitar."

"Some talent you've got there."

He laughed.

"What kind of music do you listen to?"

"Old music, nowadays music's about love and shit."

Chuckling, I said, " No shit included."

"Do you want to listen to one of my favourite songs, it's new, but it holds a deep meaning.?"

I nodded, he shoved the phone over to me. " I thought phones aren't allowed on planes?"

Giving me a stunned look, he said,
"Are you kidding me?"

Embarrassed, I looked at our intertwined hand," Oh sorry,"

Probably remembering I haven't been on a plane before, " Don't mind me."

He played ' his favorite song' over the phone and handed it to me, along with its headphones. His hand still interwined with mine.

As the music began, I immediately recognised the song, 'Yes Girl' by Bea Miller. I've been listening to this song lately, and I've fallen in love with it more and more every time I listen to it. If that's possible.

I started singing quietly, "Tell me what you wanna hear, cause the truth is always in the way, I never wanna live the fear, I don't wanna hold back all the things I need to say.."

Alex started laughing hysterically at how horrible my voice sounded. At this point both my hands were on my lap.

I rolled my eyes, " Oh I bet your voice sounds much better." I said, sarcasticly, handing him back his phone.
