Autumn is really here.

It's time for another rainy day... It's so depressing!

Alex: "Lyla! Are you ready?"

Lyla: "Yeah, yeah! I'm coming!"

Alex: "Great... And I didn't even have to call you 15 times! Progress!"

Lyla: "Who would've thought! Anything can happen! With all this rain outside I was not going to risk having to wait for the bus!"

Alex: "Ah... I see your motivation now..."

Lyla: "Busted!"

-

Alex: "So... It's been a while since I've seen you playing superhero!"

Lyla: "Stooop it."

Alex: "At least you learned your lesson!"

Lyla: "I'm not sure I did..."

Alex: "What do you mean?"

Lyla: "I mean if I see someone in trouble, I'm always gonna try to help them. You say that, but even as dumb as you are, I'm sure you would do whatever it took to help someone out if they were in a sticky situation!"

Alex: "Hmmm... that remains to be seen!"

Lyla: "I'd bet my life on it!"

Alex: "Mmm... Ohhhkay... In other news, guess what? A buddy of mine is going to loan me Last Fantasy 18 today!"

Lyla: "Are you kidding?! That game has been impossible to find since it came out! How did he get his hands on it?!"

Alex: "He must have pre-ordered it."

Lyla: "Ooo! I really wanna play it!"

Alex: "Tonight?"

Lyla: "Yeah! Definitely! Oh wait! Shoot! I have to go to Clement's game at 5:30."

Alex: "No big deal! Don't worry! The game will be over long before midnight! We'll still have time to play for a little while! I'll wait on you. Don't worry!"

Lyla: "Awesome! Thanks!"

I'm super early today. I always am when I ride with Alex.

It's pouring so hard outside. I can't wait for my friends in front of the high school like I usually do.

The hallway is crowded! Everyone is trying to stay out of the rain.

I stay here, with the hope of finding a familiar face.

But after a few moments in the crowd, I realize that it's impossible to find anyone.

So, I head to class.

Of course, Henri is already there.
