I take the long-ish walk to the tree, it's very cloudy this lunch, I sit down and lean against the tree trunk, I close my eyes and focus on my music. I open my eyes to a drop on my head, then another and suddenly a massive wave of rain swept over the school, everyone was running to get inside but I just sat there, taking in the cool feeling as each drop fell onto my vulnerable body. I close my eyes again and listen to the rain, I feel a tap on my shoulder
"Hey Shailene, right?" I hear a voice, it's familiar I open my eyes to see Michael
"Oh hey Michael" I say with chattering teeth
He sits down next to me, we are both drenched. I realise how cold I am and start to shiver, I try so hard not to shake.
"Holy crap! Your shaking like crazy!" Michael says "here"
He takes off his jacket and wraps it around me
"Thank you," I whisper
"Your welcome" he sighs back
We get up, I grab my backpack and we make our way to the undercover area. I sit down and Michael sits down next to me
"Hey I was wondering...." Michael says
My heart is pounding, is he about to say what I think he is? He takes a breath and continues
"If you would like to go to the movies, or something?"
I think for a moment 'holy crap he just asked me out! OMFG how....WOW'
"Sure, I'd love too" I smile
"Okay.... Maybe 7 Friday?" Michael asks
"Sure, I'll see you there!" I reply
We exchange numbers and head off to class.
