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 sit at my desk, my special drawing pencil in my hand. I draw a few lines on a piece of paper. I draw the hair and then the outline of the head. It looks too much like a dog..... I crumble up the piece of paper and throw it into the trash bin.
I stand up, putting my art supplies away. I head for the door, having already taken my morning shower. It's raining again and I smile.
I walk out the door and look up into the grey-filled clouds. The rain pours onto my face, drenching my skin. I look back down to the ground and start walking to school.
I walk past Liz's road, watching her walk down the street. I stop and wait for her at the crosswalk. She catches up and smiles at me.
"Good morning, Rain." She starts walking across the crosswalk, me walking right beside her.
"Mornin'." I adjust my drenched hair, shaking it a little bit. Little droplets fly off my hair and hit the ground.
I walk silently, balancing on the edge of the curb. I slip off and jump back onto the sidewalk.
She doesn't say a word.
"Is something wrong, Liz?" I look at her curious as to her quietness.
"I-I.... I'm..." She stops suddenly. I stop her and look into her emerald eyes.
"What's wrong?" It surprises me when she hugs me and starts sobbing softly.
"I-I'm leaving again...."
My eyes go wide.
"B-but why?! I still have so many questions...." I hug her back and try to comfort her as much as possible. "It's going to be okay. At least we got to see each other, right?"
"Y-yeah.." She sniffles and I pull out of the hug and grip onto her shoulders.
"It's fine. This time, I'll make sure that we are both able to say good-bye." I smile at her reassuringly. "But right now, we need to go to school." I laugh and squeeze her shoulder lightly. "Come on."
"Okay..."
I let go of her shoulders and scrub the top of her head. I start walking towards the school again, the rain starting to let up.
"Aw, man..." I sigh, "The rain's going away."
Liz laughs and I smile at her.
"Maybe you're right, Rain. Maybe it's all going to be okay." She smiles and wipes away her tears.
