Uncommon Phobias

I'm exhausted, my body sore and tired, but I still get up in time for school.

Siderodromophobia: Fear of trains or railroads.

I nod, feeling just a bit bad for having to lie to him about feeling sick. "Much better."

He smiles down at me, "I wanted to give you a ride to school."

He opens the passenger door for me and I climb in, setting my bag on the floor. "You didn't have to. It's really not that far of a walk from here."
