Gone (pt 1)

I did my best to appear confident. There was no way I was letting on that this was my first time away from home. I had decided to take this trip on my own, I couldn't take being stuck at home for another minute. There was too much tension, between my parents, between my sister and I... no wonder I had to get away. As the ferry approached the port, I took my backpack, wrapped my scarf around my neck and walked out of my cabin; I wanted to be the first off. As I walked off I heard rumbling thunder and it seemed as if the skies had opened up over me. Just my luck. I ran and tried to find shelter, although I was already soaked and the small covering I managed to find wasn't much help.
