1 Chaper 1: Prologue (1/2)
I gazed at the clouds through the window, as each second passed I could feel myself getting more drawn in
”john, um excuse me, John?” Said the teacher
”Sir?” I replied
”Lessons are over for today, you can go home now.” He said
”Ah, I see. Thank you” I said as I got up
As I made my way towards the door, I was stopped once again by the teacher
”John, you've recently came into this school, and I'm sure it's difficult to fit into the class, But you should put more effort into talking to them”
I try my best sir, I'm just not cut out for socialising and stuff
”Understood, sir” I replied as I left the classroom
I was greeted by a giant hallway, as I looked through the window, I could see clouds form up
”It's going to rain today huh...” I muttered to myself
As I began walking forward again, I ended up encountering a group of girls walking in my direction. As I was about to ignore them, I remembered what sir told me.
In the middle, there was a girl I recognised from my class, if I remember correctly, her name was...
”H-Hey Elena, H-How are you?” I asked
”E-Eh? I-I'm Good thank you” She replied
She and her friend past without saying anything else, Elena seemed like she wanted to say something but hesitated
After they walked past I could hear her friends speaking
”Isn't he the quiet transfer student? Do you know him?” One of her friends asked
”N-Not really” Elena replied
”He might have a thing for you,” Said Another one of her friends
”Really? That's hilarious, he obviously stands no chance” Said another
The other girls around her, Started laughing. Elena, on the other hand, stayed quiet
”Tch” I intentionally let out as I walked away
***
Like? My ass, If a guy talks to you, you expect him to have a thing for you? Stupid girls
I thought to myself as I stood at the school entrance. I couldn't leave school because it was pouring and I didn't bring an umbrella
”Lame...” I muttered to myself as I stared at the puddle, showing me my reflection
I wasn't handsome, Short black hair and brown eyes, but I wasn't bad looking either. So why don't i have any friends...
The rain didn't show any signs of calming down, and it was so cold that I could see the fog of my own breath
”I could run to the station, but by the time I make it there...”
As I was thinking that, an unexpected voice called out to me
”John, You're John right?” Said the voice
As I turned my face to find the source of the voice I was surprised to find Elena
”Yeah”
”I-It's raining pretty heavily isn't it?”
”It doesn't look like it'll calm down any time soon”
”Where's your umbrella?” She asked
”I forgot it at home, I-I forgot to check the forecast,” I said as I let out a sigh
”And how will you get home?”
”I didn't think that far ahead... Oh!”
”What?”
”How about we share?” She suggested as she opened it up and stretched out her hand
”Huh? People will get the wrong idea”
”But who cares what other people think?”
This girl... A second ago she hesitated to say something in front of her friends and now
”If you don't come with me, I'll leave the umbrella here and go without one”
”You wouldn't”
”Okay then”
She dropped the umbrella and was about to walk outside on to the rain, but stopped when I grabbed her hand
”Fine...” I said as I picked up the umbrella
