Tyler and I were walking home. I was feeling quite good that day because I had actually managed to pass a physics test.
"Well, you're not much of a loser now." Tyler said. I grinned.
A slight patter of rain started, I looked at him for the umbrella.
"Oh shit, I forgot to bring an umbrella." He said.
The rain started getting worse now. I started to run across the pavement, rushing past people, with Tyler at my heel. We probably looked weird. People probably thought that I was being chased.
We quickly found shelter under a bus stop.
"Ah, shit, shit, I'm drenched." He said, shaking the water off his hair.
I took of my damp jersey and wrung the water out.
Tyler sniffed and sat down. I did the same and we watched lucky people under their umbrella's walk past us.
"Hailey's gonna be so mad at me when I get home."
"Just lie and say it was my fault."
"What should I say?"
"Say that I told you to come over or something."
"No way, she'll think it's weird."
He gave me a side grin, "Would it be weird if you came over?"
"Dude, I barely know you."
"Oh come on, you can meet my kitten..." He said. I rolled my eyes.
"Okay, for a few minutes."
"Yay!!"
-
He was the figure I saw at the window. I didn't tell him that.
His kitten was cute. It was a small Gray one with a few dark stripes along its back.
"His name is Grayson." Tyler said, grinning. His parents weren't home.
I petted it a little bit and it curled up on my lap.
"Aww it likes you."
"Well, he's one of the first."
Tyler laughed.
I smiled.
He sat down on the couch next to me and petted Grayson as well.
He was so close.
"Do you like cats?" He asked. I nodded.
"Why don't you have one then?"
"Hailey's allergic."
He seemed to think for a minute, one of his brown curls falling to his eyes.
"I'll share Grayson with you then."
I smiled.
"Thank you."
-
"ACHOO- GODDAMIT ROBBY, WHY DO YOU SMELL LIKE A CAT??!" Hailey said, then sneezed again.
I hastily removed my jacket and put it away.
"Sorry."
"Gosh, sometimes I just want to stuff you away like an old teddy bear and just-" she sneezed again.
"Sorry. Again." I said.
"Yeah okay whatever."
She sneezed again.
