Stars Across The Night Sky (Rain On Me Series #2)

03

I looked at the window, staring at the clouds. The sky looks darker, it looks like it's going to rain soon. Hindi pa naman ako nakapagdala ng umbrella.

I'm holding a paper, sitting on the chair. I should be memorizing my lines but instead, I'm just glancing outside.

I shook my head, I look down at my paper, and closed my eyes. Maybe I'll resume to memorize it later.

After the practice, nagsilabasan na silang lahat maliban sa'kin, since ako naman ang nag-lolock ng club room.

We still can't find a violinist will going to replace Enzo. There's a lot of guys playing violin in the music club but my club members want a handsome one like Enzo, daw. Heh.

As I heard the sound of raindrops, I stood up near the window, put my right hand on the glass, and opened it.

"It's raining outside." I whispered, still looking at the clouds, watching the rain goes down.

I took my phone to check the weather, there's a storm today, why I didn't check it earlier?

Hindi nga pala ako nanood ng weather forecast kanina. Aish. So stupid, Athena.

I went back to my seat and took my bag, walked out of the club room, closed and lock the door. Nakatayo lang ako sa gilid habang hinihintay na tumila ang ulan, palakas rin ng palakas ang ihip ng hangin.

I'm sure nakauwi na lahat ng students, seven thirty na ng gabi. Dapat pala sumabay na 'ko sa mga ka member ko kanina nung inaya nila 'ko.

Nakatulala ako sa harap ng biglang may nagsalita.

"Nice weather today, isn't it?" Said a voice behind me.

I tilted my neck in my left side so I could faced him. Kalalapit niya lang sa gilid ko. Basa ang buhok niya, pati narin ang uniform na suot niya.

"You love rain?" I raised my brows, tinanguan ko siya. Ngiwi ang sagot niya kaya nagtanong ako ulit. "What are you doing here, by the way?"

"Heading home then I saw you." Enzo said, running a hand through his hair. Tumabi siya sa gilid ko kaya umayos ako ng tayo, tumingin na ulit sa harap.

"Okay," parang walang pakialam na saad ko.

Katatapos lang din siguro ng violin recital niya. Tahimik na ulit kaming dalawa, sabay na pinapanood ang malakas na pagbuhos ng ulan.

I took my phone and checked the weather again. I don't want to call my parents, I know they are busy. I don't want my brother to pick me up too. I saw Atlas last night, he looks stressed and I don't want to bother them.

We stayed here for around thirty minutes, nothing change. Hindi parin tumitila ang ulan.

"I want to go home," sabi ko sa sarili ko. Tinapat ko ang kamay ko sa ulan na palakas ng palakas. Mukhang gagabihin talaga 'ko dito sa school.

"Let's go then," aya niya. Handa na siyang umalis ng pigilan ko siya.

"Are you going? It's still pouring," is he nuts? Nakahawak ako sa grey blazer na naka patong sa ulo niya upang hindi siya makaalis.

"Concern?" He raised his brows in surprise.
I cleared my throat and removed my hand from his blazer. "Nope, ayoko lang na sisihin mo 'ko pag nag ka sakit ka." I rolled my eyes and looked away.

"So?" his expression doesn't change.

"I'll wait here until the rain stop." I declined. Baka magkasakit pa 'ko, ayoko pa namang um-absent.

Lumingon siya sakin saglit, base sa mukha niya parang bale wala lang sa kaniya ang sagot ko. "Okay, goodluck kung may masakyan ka pang bus." Kibit balikat niyang sabi.
