All Rain ever knew was the feeling of being alone. He never had any friends. That is, until the day the new girl saved him from the darkness of his heart.

I walk to school, my hair covering my eyes so I don't have to make any immediate eye contact with anyone. My backpack is filled with books and papers. Ew... School. I walk along the edge of the curb, my superb balancing skills kicking in. I look at the school building, taller than any of the homes that I'm passing by.
I finally reach the school, looking at the huge building. I open one of the doors and walk inside. I stop by my locker before heading out to the field to my favorite tree. I still have about an hour before school starts. I climb up the tree, settling on the tallest branch. I pull my hood down as the wind catches my hair.
I watch as kids start pouring into the school half an hour later. I climb out of the tree, jumping from the second branch. I land on my feet, starting to walk back to the building. I pull my hood up and put my hands in my pockets before walking into one of the doors. I shake my head, letting my hair fall into my face.
I walk into class, picking up one of the books from under a desk. I sit down and start reading. The teacher walks in and glances at me.
"You're here early again, Rain."
I don't give any answer as the teacher settles in his desk.
"Don't you have anything better to do?"
Still no answer.
The teacher glances at me and laughs, saying, "We've got a new arrival today. Would you like to show her around?"
This catches my attention.
"You want me to show someone that I don't even know around the school?" I set the book on my desk.
"Yes, I do. It would be appreciated."
"Screw appreciation..." I add under my breath. I pick up my book and start reading again.
They want me to show some new kid around? I think Well fine, but I don't think I'll be very helpful...
The bell rings and the kids start pouring into the classroom. I plug some earbuds into my phone and put on some music to start the day. I pay no attention as the teacher stands up and introduces the new student.
"Rain."
I don't answer.
"RAIN."
The tension in his voice makes my head snap up, my jet-black hair uncovering one of my eyes.
I take out and earbud and say, "Yes sir?"
"Stand up. This is our new arrival."
I stand up and look at the girl in the front of the classroom. She looks pretty normal accept for one thing: Her deep, emerald green eyes. I can't stop looking at them.
