"Hey, what's got your jar in a pickle?" A young woman asked me, she had brown skin, long silky dark hair with pretty hazel eyes. Her freckles adorned her face beautifully, honestly I was taken aback.
"What's...got my jar in a pickle? Who even says t...
The rain made my skin shiver as I walked down the empty side walk. I had just figured out that my car engine was messed up, therefore I couldn't drive to Mr. Kings for my tutoring lesson. I decided to walk when it suddenly started pouring as I was already a quarter of the way there.
My phone was dead and I knew I was already thirty minutes late. Mr King lived about 20 minutes away from me so I knew this was gonna be a grueling walk. My hair started gaining curls due to the rain, and my clothes clung to me for dear life.

I huff out air as I continue my walk. Hoping that a bus stop or anything will be enough to shelter me from the rain, but disappointingly there's not.
As I continue my walk, I see a pair of headlights coming towards me, the person rolls down their window and speaks.
"Alaine! What are you doing walking in the rain? Get in now your gonna get sick." Says the voice, I look at the car and notice it's Mr. Kings.
I hurriedly get in and slump in the seat, the feeling of the warm air making me want to curl up and slump down further. I buckle my seat belt and pull my hair up into a low bun, my curls deviating here and there.
"Thanks for letting me in, how'd you find me?" I say to him, water droplets splashing the seat and the dash, even him a little bit. He wipes the water from his face and pulls around to where he came from.
"You were very late, and I figured that you would text me to let me know you were busy or something, but you didn't." "I also know that you wouldn't skip, because you care about your academics. Although you don't show it much." He sighs.
I nod, continuing to feel the warm AC hit my face. I'd rather not argue with him at the moment. I let out a content breath as he turns up the heat.
"So you were coming to pick me up?" I say to the man. He hums to confirm my question.
"I'm taking you back to my place. I'll get you a change of clothes and I'll let you shower as well. After that we can study."
I hum in agreement as the drive continues. It takes ten minutes until we arrive. He takes out a umbrella before opening the door and using it, he runs over to my side of the door and opens it for me. I thank him and we both rush inside the house, I take my shoes off as to not track in any mud.
"I'll find you something to wear, I'll bring it to you so you can take it up to the bathroom and have a shower. That'll be fine right?" He says as he walks up the stairs. Carrying his shoes with him.
