isn't she lovely

     the girl next door is crying again. it's storming outside. every time it thunders, she sobs a little harder. i see her outside my window. she's soaking. she's gotta be freezing. it rains too much in florida. i hate it when she cries, she sounds so sad. i'm not even sure what she's so sad about. god the rain is just wow. it's coming down so hard. almost like that song from that musical once on this island. now i'm afraid a car is going to crash. dammit, will, focus, i thought to myself. back to the girl next door. she stopped crying, but she's still sitting out there. alone. in the rain.

     she looked almost scared for a moment, maybe because she didn't realize that i was coming up behind her. but she looked up at the umbrella I held over her head, and then to me.
     "thanks," she said, wiping the tears and rainwater off of her drenched face. "how did you know I was out here?"
     i was a little confused, because wouldn't her first question be who are you? "i live next door, i saw you from my window," i replied. my socks were getting wet. "i'm will, by the way."
     "hi will 'by the way,'" she giggled. "i'm mack."
     "mack," i repeated, staring off into the rain. "that's pretty." she smiled. i think that's the first time i'd ever seen her smile. she had a really pretty smile.
     "um," she started. "i'm really sorry that you had to see me like this."
     "that's ok, i think you're pretty." dammit, will. nice fucking going. "uh, i mean-" even through the tear stains, i could see her blushing. she giggled. i liked her laugh. but the way she covered her mouth after she chuckled told me she didn't.
     "how come i've never met you before?" she asked, kicking her legs. what does it mean when girls do that?
     "i don't get out much," i laughed. "i am homeschooled, maybe that's why."
     "god, i wish I was homeschooled," she sighed. "maybe then i wouldn't be crying all the fucking time."
