Rain (Part One)

"I'm sorry." He whispered loud enough for me to hear. I saw at the side of my eye as he wiped his tears away.

"You don't have to, because you did that earlier today." I suddenly remembered when he went inside the room where I will be staying and asked for an apology for his mom.

"You're memory is still not rusting." He complimented me. "But seriously, I'm really sorry." He sincerely said letting out a small gasp.

"You don't have to. I should actually be the one thanking you for saving me and for helping me with everything." I smiled at him. The rain is starting to stop so we can hear each other just fine.

""I'm a jerk if I didn't saved you." He looked at me and force a grin.

"You're a jerk." I told him honestly. "Actually, you're the most gentleman jerk in the whole galaxy." I announced proudly.

"Are you being sarcastic?" He ask me with a curious tone.

"Nope." I answered him directly.

"You know what? Sometimes you can be so unpredictable." He paused for a moment. "I like unpredictable. They could challenge you to know what's running in their minds. They think differently each time and they are not boring." He said in a serious but soft voice. Yeah! He can do that.

"So, you think that I'm not boring?" I teased him.

"You are boring." Wow! Who's unpredictable now? "Actually, you're the funniest boring person I've ever met." He actually just copied what I said but the difference is he changed some words and took possession over my speecj. Doesn't he know that plagiarism is a crime?

"Should I take that as a compliment?" Now, I'm being sarcastic.

"I took your "gentleman jerk" as a compliment. Don't you think that it would be unfair if you'll take mine as an insult?" I know he is joking around and I actually kind this side of him.

"Honestly, after knowing you more my motto suddenly changed." I told him the truth.

"Why? What's your motto now?" He asked.

"Don't judge the book by it's cover." I directly said.

"Wow! That's a very new motto. Never heard of that since Grade Six." He said in a goofy voice and that made me laugh. It's not actually the joke that was funny, actually that was kind of an insult but his voice brought it all.

"O my gosh! Your voice your...hahahaha!" He laughed with me and after we've both recovered from laughing his voice suddenly grew serious.

"Honestly speaking, I didn't discovered that side of me until you and I started talking. I think it takes a right person to have the right attitude. Thank you Paige." He sincerely said.

"Their was a very comfortable silence between us for some time when his phone suddenly beeped.

He took it out of his pocket and his eyes stayed to his phone's screen when he finally opened his phone. He became furious at first but his face suddenly showed disappointment.

"Is this real?" He showed me his phone and I felt like a chick standing while a bucket full of ice is being poured at me when I read what was stated on it.

@AlwaysPrettyNicky: Good job PaigeSuperstar! Please tell me that I should prepare a welcoming party for DrakeM for being the new member of my group.

"Drake, I can explain." I tried to calm Drake but he is now shaking in anger and I know that this is not going well.

"Explain what? That you're just befriending me because you want to use me? I can't believe that you value being in worthless group compared to having a friend that actually cares." He shouted at me and I can't think of a comeback. I'm just drowning myself into tears and I don't know how to defend myself.

"I thought you're different, but you're actually just one of those pathetic girls who just care about themselves. You're selfish." I slapped him hard on the face.

"I am not pathetic! And if I only care about myself then why should I bother loving a guy like you? You know what? If their is one selfish person here, it's you. You don't know how to listen to others because you're a self-centered person." He was taken aback with what I said.

I can't take it anymore. I can't even think of what to do but to just run away in the middle of the rain and as if on cue it started raining heavily again.

Did I make the wrong decision? Is it bad to wish to be something different to make yourself happy? Is it bad to be popular?

I got home soaking wet. Nobody is at our house so I just took a bath before I could catch a cold.

While I was inside the bathroom I can feel the water running down my body and the tears that won't top falling on my cheeks.

I should have believed myself until the end. Now I know, once a bad guy, always a bad guy.
