"Gosh darnit." I muttered, sitting on the bench. I leaned my head back and let the sun shine on my face. I sighed.

This is what happens when I make friends.

I closed my eyes to block the tears from flowing down my face.

"Hey, Rain," said a familiar voice.

I opened my eyes and looked at the person square in the eye.

"Connor!!" I said a little too enthusiastically.

"Hey Rain... Why do you seemed surprised?"

"I just thought..."

"That I wasn't coming? Why wouldn't it? I wanted to ask you a question."

I gulped. Should I be scared?

"Rain Vasquez... Can I buy you a cookie?"

"Oh my god you're such a dork," I laughed and playfully slapped his arm, "Actually a cookie sounds really good right now," I said.

"Oh yeah? Glad you like my offer. Let's go get it. So... What's you're favorite kind?"

"M&M."

"Well... School food is cheap so you're choices are Sugar and Chocolate Chip," he said with a grin.

"Okay then chocolate chip," I laughed.

"Wow... This cookie is...."

"Amazing? Wonderful? Worth all of my penny's," suggested Connor.

"Haha no it's just okay, I mean it's a school cookie."

"Touché."

And then the bell rang.

"See you later Rain."

"See ya..." and then I walked to English class which is, by far, the worst time of day.
