"So what?" he repeated, his voice colder this time. "Move, or I'll move you myself," the man warned, his tone firm. You sighed, knowing how tall he was compared to you, What could you do? You squinted your eyes at him. "Fine," you said, but of course you weren't gonna move without some revenge. "Sure, I'll move." You forced a fake smile and walked to the corner. Reaching into your backpack, you found some paper and a straw. You grabbed a small piece and chewed it then spit it through the straw, hitting him right on the cheek.

"Loser!!" You yelled right at him

As he turned to see where the sound came from, you quickly ducked behind some old boat decorations, a sly smile spreading across your face. This ride was going to take a while, so why not try to strike up a conversation? You noticed a boy around your height and probably about the same age. He seemed to be traveling with a group of adults and one teenage guy—maybe he needed supervision? You weren't sure, but it seemed like a good opportunity to make a new friend. He had really spiky hair with green highlights

"Hey!" He grinned as he walked over to you, accompanied by a blonde-haired teen and a grown man with black hair. "Hey," you replied with a smile, discreetly tossing the straw behind you. Not knowing if these people were trustworthy enough not to tell anyone you had been the one throwing the spit paper, you didn't want to take any chances.

The boy beamed with a wide smile as he introduced himself. "I'm Gon! And these are my new friends, Kurapika and Leorio." You just nodded your head as you took in the appearance of all 3 of them.

"How old are you guys?" you asked, mostly directing the question at Leorio, who looked 30. You squinted at him, giving him a judging look while stroking your imaginary beard slightly. "I'M A TEENAGER!" he shouted back at you. You raised your hands in defense. "Hey, don't yell too much, or you might break a hip." you crossed your arms. "IM NOT OLD!" All the people on the ship turn to face you guys because of the commotion "See, not even they believe you." You shook your head slightly.

❝𝙂𝙧𝙖𝙣𝙙𝙥𝙖.❞ you muttered.
