Justin's Point of View

"Justin, wait up!" I heard my name as i got out of the classroom.

I then turn around to see Jasmine, my friend. Well... my crush specifically but she doesn't know that yet.

I then snap out of that trance, as much as i like admiring her, it wouldn't probably be polite to not respond.

"Yeah..? What's up Jas?" I finally responded to her wondering why she called me.

"Well... i was wondering since we take the same route home, why not go home together?" She said with a genuine smile on her face, "Unless you have something to do of course.."

"Sure, I guess I have nothing to do" I said smiling back to her, "but.. don't you have club activities to do?"

"Yeah, about that.. I quitted" she said with a frown, "I guess it wasn't for me" She said but with a smile this time.

"Okay, let's go then" I said heading towards the exit with Jasmine beside me.

We then continued to chat walking towards home. Jasmine and my home are near each other, well.. more or less, mine is just one block away from hers.

While we we're chatting I noticed it started to rain a little, "Oh.. it's raining great..."

"Do you have your umbrella with you?" I asked her as she shakes her head, "Okay.. then we'll share mine"

"Good thing I brought my umbrella today" I said while bringing out the said item.

We then got under the umbrella so we wouldn't get more wet

"Thanks." she said a little quiet, Wouldn't blame her we're too close to each other under this umbrella, but hey i'm not complaining.

"Umm.. do you wanna go to that coffee shop and wait until it starts to clear up a little?" I asked her as I look towards the coffee shop.

"Sure.. it's better than being out here in the rain" she said as we started walking towards the coffee shop.

After entering we were then greeted by the cold air of the Café, as Jasmine shivers a little.

Me being a great guy I gave my jacket to her and yes I have a jacket under it was my uniform.

"You should probably be better wearing my jacket, wouldn't want you catching a cold now do we?" I said as I chuckle.

"Uh.. Thank you..." she said shyly as we pick our seats at the corner.

"Hmm.. there's not much people here..." I said while I looked around the Café, "They have great music too, anyway just coffee?"

"Yeah, that would be great" she said as I nod.

I then sat up and went to the counter to order some beverages, by that I mean two coffee.

..

"Here's ours" I said as I approached our table.

I then sat as I drink my coffee, "Looks like it's raining really bad outside" I said as I look outside the window.

"Yeah.. but it's nice you know?" She said smiling happily, I replied confused "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing really.. hehe..." she said as she laughs softly, "Well as long as you're happy I guess.." I said dropping the topic as I sip my coffee.

"Hmm.. I guess it is nice, with me hanging out with you anyway" I said happily as I look out the window again.

After a few minutes of chatting, the raining started to clear up.

"Oh.. the rain cleared should we go now...?" She said while I only nod as a response.

We then stood up as we make our way towards the exit, after getting out of the Café we started our walk home, still chatting.

"So do you want to hang out again, next time?" I said wanting to hang out with her again as we stopped at her house.

"Yeah.. that would be great, next weekend?" She said smiling as I nod.

"Well I'll see you tomorrow" I said as i turned to leave, I then started to make my way home.

"Justin, Wait up!" I heard again twice this day, I then turned around to see her running towards me.

"Yeah, what's up?" I said confused why she called out to me.

"Uh.. your jacket" She said as she held out my jacket, while I just responded with "Oh.. yeah right, almost forgot."

"Oh and also.." she starts to say as she leans closer to me, "Thank you for today" she finally says as she kisses my in the cheek.

She then heads back to her house as i stand there in shock.

"Well.. that just happened" I said smiling again. I then made my way to my house.
