Such a busy day. I can't wait to get back home and rest, I noticed the clock near my locker

9:30

"Oh shoot" I mumbled. It's really late, I better go home. I grabbed my bag and umbrella and started walking home. Ugh, I knew it was a bad idea to not bring my car. It was raining and was really windy. Crap. It was so windy, the wind was strong enough to make my umbrella fly.

Since I'm desperately trying to get home in a rush, I used the shortcut...in this really dark alley.

I had completely forgot...stupid move Lyra, way to go. I got scared in this alley way, which made the wind grew stronger.

My umbrella went flying.

"NO,NO,NOOOO", I shouted

It was still raining, so I needed the umbrella.
My umbrella kept flying, not going upwards, but flying away from me.
It sharply went to the side, and it looked like it bumped into something...or somebody.

I went closer and my umbrella flew away again, revealing a person that it bumped into. And I was like,

"OH MY GOSH...IM REALLY SORRY ABOUT THAT", I gasped as I apologize to the stranger. That was weird, he looked familiar though. He said nothing so I ran to catch the stupid umbrella

I was too focused on the umbrella flying that I ignored the guy, there was too much going on in my mind that made the wind blow stronger.

I was finally near the stupid umbrella. It was about to be cornered.

And it stopped...I'm not kidding, it stopped on that one spot, midair. It was gently lifted up, revealing another stranger. I could have sworn he came out of no where. I had time to think this time. I realize that the man also looked familiar, but with a grey suit and red tie. He had dark red colored hair that nearly covered his eyes. That's not what I'm focusing on.

Inside my mind, I was like "dude, HAND ME THE UMBRELLA. I RAN FROM THERE TO HERE TRYING TO GET THAT STUPID UMBRELLA"

But I was a calm person, okay? I try not to rage, another disaster might happen.

"Uhh, e-excuse me sir,*pant*, may I have my umbrella back?", I said as I tried to gasp air.

He was smiling...all evil-like.

I don't trust this guy, I thought to myself.

"Sure", he said as I grabbed my umbrella. I was super relieved I finally got my hands on my umbrella. I was so ready to come home and rest...but you know me, I'm a magnet for trouble. This doesn't end there.

"Going easy on a girl again, eh?",a very familiar voice saying behind me
