After I posted, I get ready for school, still unsure on what I should do, and leave my umbrella at home. I walk to the bus in the rain, not caring if I get wet, since I'm in a bad mood because of those messages. I get on the bus, and after I arrive at school, Sujin catches up to me. "Hyerin! You're all wet, what happened, do you not have an umbrella?" She asks. I look at her, and she knows that I'm not feeling well. "I saw your post, did something happen?" She asks. I only nod my head in response. One of her other friends calls her and she runs off, leaving me walking alone in the rain, until I stop feeling water hitting me. I look up to see an umbrella, then look back to see who's holding it. The person holding it is Kevin, and almost as if he can sense my unease, he hands me the umbrella and jogs to the doors in the rain. Though I'm not sure what use an umbrella is for someone who's already wet, I would normally appreciate the gesture if I didn't have people harassing me for the few times we've talked to each other. I get inside the building, shake off the umbrella, get changed into my gym clothes because my uniform is wet, and head to class. I could care less about what happens in math, or what anyone else is doing. In the halls I hear a few whispers as I head to my art class. I decide to not care.
In class, I put my headphones in and get into a zone, where I only focus on my painting. It's not until I feel a tap on my shoulder that I notice everyone around me is gone and class is over. I look back at who had tapped me, and once again it's Kevin. I'm not sure how I'm supposed to approach this, so I don't say anything. He speaks up, "I guess this time you zoned out while painting." He smiles. I want to smile but I'm aware of the others in the hallway who probably want to kill me for just looking at him. I turn to my bag and grab his umbrella, and hand it to him. He looks puzzled, but tells me thank you anyway. My eyes flicker to the hallway, and I nod to him. He looks into the hallway, confused as to why I'm acting indifferent and maybe even nervous, and sees all the students staring. He then exits the room, and I feel a weight being lifted off my chest. I put my stuff away, and head into the hall, on my way to meet Sujin.
Because of the weather we decide to eat inside today, and find an empty club room, where were alone. "So, what happened? Spill it." Sujin says. I breathe out a sigh, and tell her about the messages. As she hears this I could almost see fumes, and practically had to tackle her in order for her not to cause a problem in the school. "THESE BITCHES REALLY?!?" She yells. I hush her, and she sits back down. "So, what are you going to do?" She asks. I look out the window at the rain that hasn't stopped, "I really don't know." I tell her.
