Drop....Drop....Drop....Drop,drop,drop,drop,drop,drop....

It was raining heavily, like the sky suddenly opened and was crying fiercely.It rarely ,rarely rained in Aspen.Instead of raining it would usually just snow.I heard surprised gasps and then people running for shelter.I was in the garden of my college standing there near the bench I was setting on,and watching it rain.All around me were girls screaming for their ruined clothes and hair or boys wanting to escape the rain and murmuring about how their practices might get cancelled. But as for me I didn't care at all.I was enjoying the rain.I always did.

I stood there,head raised up to the sky,eyes closed, feeling the drops of rain landing on my face.I loved everything about the rain.Its smell,the slight coldness it brought and somehow the feeling of safety.People sometimes thought of rain as a warning for disasters but as for me it meant something completely different.It meant hope,that no matter what happens,the sky will always rain,will always wash the earth and people from all their sins.

I was well aware that I was the only one still in the rain.The only one who didn't run to find shelter,yet I couldn't care less.I was born in Britain where it sometimes used to rain but I had spent the last two years in Italy,and in those two years it didn't rain once.So I decided to take the best of it and enioy the rain,even if I got sick later on.

Just like someone was reading my thoughts, I heard a male voice talking.A very familiar voice.

"You'll get ill like that,Blondie"

'Shut up Liam' would have been my answer.But instead I opened my eyes and turned to look at him.He was wearing his skinny jeans,black pullover and his hair was a mess because of the rain and wind.Yet he still looked attractive....even though I hated skinny jeans for boys.Just then I was brought up short by my thoughts.

Attractive????? Did I just think of that.Ew no way.I pushed the thought away and tried to think of an answer to him.An answer that won't be rude.I was still angry at him from last night's talk and mocking.Just the reminder of last night made me forget my attempts to find a good,not rude,answer.

"None of you business, Kerrington"I snapped,Annoyed.

"You'll freeze for no reason.Lets get inside.I am not at all comfortable by standing here"he said scowling at me.

Not comfortable? Why would I care? "Then you could go find shelter I am not holding you back"

Apparently frustrated with me,he grabbed my bag and carried it up.I wasn't sure what was wrong with him or why would he even care.

"Put my bag down"I said just as the rain started pouring heavier.My voice was more aloud so he could hear me.

"You're wearing nothing but your jeans and shirt.I am not even sure if your shirt is heavy enough to keep you warm...what idiot would go out in this weather without a jacket?"

At his words I blushed.I had indeed forgot my jacket today and was too busy to return back to my room and fitch it.I was about to say something when instead I grinned wide and changed what I was about to say.I was about to tell him to mind his own business when I noticed he too doesn't have a jacket.

"An idiot like you?"I said ,nodding with my chin towards him as he slid my back bag against his shoulder.

Raising a brow he looked at himself ,as if realizing for the first time that he didn't have a jackt ,then I heard him sigh.In frustration,frustrated with himself maybe? I didn't know or care.But it wouldn't have maid sense if it was directed to me.We weren't even friends for.him to worry about me.We were just two college mates who likee to annoy each other.Although I rarely did annoy him,that was his job.
