I ran out of the café, panic surrounding me, my clothes feeling too tight, my cheeks red and heart racing. They saw me with him, everybody saw us.

I stood in the rain, panting heavily, glancing in both directions to see if anybody was around.

I buried my face in my hands and shed a few tears quietly.

The rain soaked my clothes and drenched my hair.

"Max...", I heard a soft voice from behind me and I felt a hand on my shoulder.

I quickly pulled away. "Don't touch me!"

Brad's hand was left howering in the air on the place where my shoulder was just a moment ago.

I breathed heavily as I stared at him. His brown hair was soaked, making it slightly darker than it usually was, his wet clothes were clinging to his body and his face confused and... slightly hurt?

We both stayed quiet for a moment, just finding comfort in the silence.

"Max... I...", Bradley started, but quickly quieted down.

"That was so wrong!", I snarled. "Everybody was looking! Now everybody thinks I'm gay!"

Bradleys eyes softened as he stared at me.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breath. He gently wrapped his hand around my wrist, holding it firmly so I couldn't squirm out of his grip.

"Don't you get it?!", I raised my voice, which made Bradley slightly flinch and loosen his grip so I could pull away. "I'm trying to get away from you!"

"Just... leave me alone...", I snarled and started walking away, the coldness making me shiver as a lighting lit up the sky following with thunder rumbling.

Bradley didn't follow me or say anything. I knew it was a sign of weakness, but I glanced over my shoulder, but he was gone.

Whatever.

******************

I got in the dorm and gladly it was empty. Suddenly my heart started racing again. Did Bobby and Pj see everything? Were they at the café too?

Max: heyy guys, where r u?

Bobby: I am at the library doing the presentation with my partner. I think pj is with mocha

Max: okay, okay good

Bobby: did something happen? Do you need me?

Max: nono just do the presentation! i'll just hang at the dorm

***********

I got into shower and threw my soaked clothes on the bathroom floor. I turned on the hot water. It felt nice streaming down my skin after the cold rain.

I closed my eyes, trying to forget the look on Bradleys face.

I quickly went inside the Bean scene to get my jacket, avoiding everyones gaze. I suddenly noticed a bunch of roses on the place where Max had been sitting.
