one lecture and three hours of school later the bell finally rang. I stood up and stretched, watching everybody leave. Dad works late again tonight so I'll grab groceries on my way home.

I collected my things and headed to my locker. a few of the daily fangirl letters fell out as soon as I opened it. told you the girls love me. At the beginning of the year I used to read them, but now that they appear on a daily basis, I usually don't.

I shoved the pink and purple envelopes in my bag and continued down the hallway. i really hate how this school is painted. the walls are a creme color and the doors and lockers and olive green. they can at least repaint with some prettier colors so that nobody gets sick just looking at it. I ignored and jogged to the side entrance, escaping out onto the field.

well that was a mistake, I was pouring. hard. I need to find shelter, but I'm definitely not going back into that hell-hole.

I removed my jacket and held it above my head, protecting myself from the bullet like raindrops.

the cherry tree is pretty thick, maybe I'll stay under there. I booked it across the grass, by backpack hitting my side with every jump over a puddle. by the time I reached the intersection connecting the school to the park, the water was soaking through my jacket.

the cars let me cross and I ran through the pink trees. with this much rain, I can't even see what's out in front of my hand. but I've come to this park everyday for the past two years and when I was younger so I know this place like the back of my hand.

as I sprinted to the large tree in the middle, I started to see something, somebody else was there. But I'm the only one who sits here... when I got close enough, I realised it was newbie! I'm trying not to like-like him, so why does it have to be him? he's so awkward to talk to also.

"Hey, newbie!" I shouted, letting go of the jacket with one hand to wave. it curled onto my head like a starfish and I couldn't see anything.

I'm going to fall!! I was wobbling around, trying to pull the sticky thing of my face when I stepped in a water-filled hole.

"No no no!!" I cried, tipping over into a puddle.

newbie cracked up with laughter and I couldn't help but laugh to. it was cute..

wait, stop it Ace! A's before gays! but he's probably not even gay... hmmm I'll have to work on that.

I pulled the jacket from of my face and sat there admiring- I mean watching him have his giggling fit.

"c-come sit under the tree A-Ace, or you'll be even more soaked than you already are." he stuttered, still laughing. newbie now stood in front of me with his hand extended. I grabbed it and he hauled me or of the mud.

"thanks." I said, pulling the jacket off my head. he looked up at me, was silent for a second, then bust into laughter again.

I smiled in disbelief, is this really the same boy from before?

"why are you still laughing?" I chuckled, walking under the safety of the branches. he filed behind and sat on the dirt.

"B-because you just-" he stopped and began acting it out by wiggling his arms like an octopus and falling over in his side. his knees were tucked to his chest because he was laughing so hard, no noise escaped his mouth.

after a moment he finally called down, sitting up again. I sat down myself, leaning back against the tree.

I put my hand on his head, ruffling his wet hair.

"you're so easily entertained, you remind me of a little boy. you look like one too." I told him.

he looked at me through his long lashes and I could see a small blush on his cheeks.

"everybody says that, they think I'm 14, but I'm 17, a junior" he informed. that actually took me aback, I thought he was a freshman. better not tell him that though.

"oh hey, I never got your name earlier.." I said changing the subject.

he smiled brightly. "I'm Toby Brice"

"and I'm Ace Williams, I'm 17 too!"

"oh I know." he chuckled, looking off into the down pour. the falling droplets reflected off of his sea blue eyes.

he already knows? is he some kind of stalker?

"and you know that how exactly?" I questioned, kind of freaked out.

"oh I guess that sounded a bit creepy didn't it? Mr. Brown called you Ace earlier so then I knew. Sorry.."

I nodded in understanding. it went quiet for a minute, then I noticed him shivering.
