The sound of the heavy rain on the bedroom window gave a hypnotic effect to that morning. The clock was striking thirty past 7 winch meant i was already behind on the perfect schedule to make in on time to the bus.
Most students that morning would have been thinking about staying home since the conditions were getting dangerous, but I on the other spectrum had more motivation then ever... I always had good consideration of the rain, everything that made people stay home and away from me being outside was considered an ally. I remember walking down the staircase that connected my home to the street, i opened the gate and finally stepped into the torrential rain coming from the black colored clouds.
At the buss stop there were only a small group of students who were younger then i was... i kept on walking eventually going past the group and hiding momentarily from the rain under the church (the church served as referent for the bus stop itself) main door.
I remember the bus came a bit late, about 10 min, which meant everyone waiting for it was fully soaked... everyone rushed to the entrance clashing the umbrellas one against the other in the act of closing them .
On the buss a subtle chattering was audible and came to a complete stop after the group of youngsters got on their way running through the rain in Kurihara, as i was the only passenger remaining...
between Kurihara ans Osaki to my surprise the bus stopped, from the window i couldn't see much but i could distinguish a female figure. I had my eyes locked on here while she walked the two steps to get on the buss, only when she stated walking towards me that i could have at look at her up close.
