It was cloudy outside. Still you gotta go because you need the reference books for your upcoming exams.You changed schools in mid of ongoing academic session. You are currently in your third year of high school ,  enrolled in Fukurodani academy, Tokyo.
You left your hometown and now living alone in Tokyo not because you wanted to but because of something that haunted you for nights .
Currently you were on your way to the book shop. Your heart was feeling heavy since a while but you always tried to keep urself motivated and back on track. You went inside the book shop searched for the ones you wanted and went to the bill counter. The store was quite busy that day and to add on your bad luck by the time you got your work done it was already pouring outside and that too really heavily. But you dumb head  was not having umbrella even though you knew this could happen.. Really what could be done of a depressed ass like you...
Now you were standing outside the book store under the shed holding the bag of your books. Suddenly you felt like something pierced your heart ....you got reminded of your past. Emotions brimming in your heart ...your heart pounding fast and blurry vision in your eyes because of tears ...Now you almost busted into tears of melancholy....You didn't do anything wrong yet everyone (even your friends )suspected you to be a bully 😔 . This was the reason why you changed schools why you felt uneasy at school and exactly what haunted you for nights...And The last straw was your fear that what would happen if students in the new school get to know about your past as well ...your life will be miserable as hell  because who would like a girl who acts all friendly on the outside but was supposedly a bully bitch on the inside ...atleast according to the rumors about you. What all happened previously was accidental not intentional but it turned out to the other way..alas!
All these thoughts were eating you up on the inside.With no family no friend right beside you felt aloof, away from this world. Tears were flowing continously down your cheek.Head down,  bag of books tightly held to your chest with arms folded. Suddenly someone tapped your shoulder lightly . You didn't want to look up but you ended looking up to that guy.  You didn't even realize that u were shadowed by some 6'2 guy with golden eyes and spikey black Grey hair. He looked very concerned. With a very worried tone he asked," Miss?Is something bothering you ?" You first looked at him with confusion to as of why is he concerned? Isn't he like the others who would just walk pass by because you weren't crying loud out , you were sobbing and it was normal enough for someone to just ignore you. But this guy ?why?
On getting no response from you he seemed gloomy. Then he began like ,"Oh sorry!I must not interfere.But whatever it is I hope it gets sorted out for you asap." The last line he said with a big assuring grin on his face.Then he stood right there speaking nothing and not even going anywhere though u saw he had an umbrella with him. You both just silently  listened  to the raindrops hitting the ground.  At the same time you were feeling an uncontrollable surge of confused emotions on receiving this sudden act of kindness from a complete stranger. You felt hazy about your own feelings .Then he turned towards you,  handed over his umbrella to you and said with a soft smile"Take care". Now you can't have this more . You took hold of his sleeve stopping him from going and spilled our all that was going on in your head regarding past memories and fears. Listening to you ranting and crying he had a very different reaction .Instead of trying to comfort you with words , ,he was ready to cry with you .He had tears in his eyes. You were so shocked to see a random stranger crying for you. This guy is really different you see. Wiping his tears off his cheeks he said,"I am so sorry.You have gone through so much. "*Baahaa..crying sounds * . Then he lightly put his hands on your  shoulders and said with a very encouraging tone, "Look! Everything little thing is gonna be alright. Believe me."He sounded just like a child to you.*Thats our lovely Bokuto for you ;)*
You suddenly felt nice and light hearted. Letting out all your negativity was something you really needed since a long time.You replied to him with a big grin , "ok if u say so."
By this time rain had stopped and you both were standing right there facing each other and then you saw something that you won't forget ever in your life .A rainbow. The reflection of rainbow in his eyes.A rainbow  that you know that you could never find in someone's else.
Then suddenly this moment of falling in love was interrupted by the book shop keeper who came outside the shop when the rain stopped and was actually watching you both from a long time.So now he was frustrated and asked you both to move aside from the shop entrance.
You went back home still holding his umbrella in your hands .You don't even know why you didn't return his umbrella . And also most importantly you didn't exchange your names..But
Whatsoever now you were feeling happy and it was a pretty rainy day of your life.
Next day while wandering through the corridors of your school hallway, you met him again because he is  (now you know, right?) the ACE of the volleyball team of fukurodani academy , BOKUTO KOUTAROU!
