I stayed where I was, sitting on the curb, not sure if I really wanted to leave or not. I always loved time to myself more than hanging out with friends sometimes because some things trigger my panic attacks, and nobody knows about them except for Lars, Spencer, and Tori.

I looked at the people as they walked by me, and then looked at the different restaurants near by in boredom. It wasn't until moments later, a drop of water appeared on my skin. I looked at it and put my hand out as I tried to figure out if it was rain or not. Double the raindrops appeared on my hand and I smiled to myself. It is rain.

Rain is my favorite. I like playing my favorite sport, soccer in the rain, and I love doing those cheesy romance movies in the rain where another person dances with the other and it's all cute and all.  You get what I'm saying?

More rain drops fell to the point where I was officially soaked. I really didn't mind it all, but my silence was broken off when Sky and Harvey walked out of Burger King. I watched Harvey as he said goodbye to Sky and waved walking into the direction I was.

'Crap crap crap act natural!!'

I stayed sitting on the curb and watched him walk past me, and then slowly stop and back up to see what he thought he saw.

"Soph what are you doing in the rain?" He asked confused.

"I like the rain. It makes me calm." I said making eye contact with him.

He grabbed my hand and stood me up, letting me be under his umbrella.

"You know you could get sick being out in the cold like this right?" He asked laughing lightly.

"I mean yeah but- it shouldn't matter to you anyways, don't you have your girlfriend to hang out with?" I snapped back, rolling my eyes.

"Sky? She's not my girlfriend Sophia." He said.

"Wha- then what was the whole flirting thingy on Instagram- and the hang outs AND the-"

"The flirting was just me being a big flirt like always and the hang outs were just because we are really good friends." He said nodding.

"Mkay..I don't believe that at all, but I'm gonna go now, so have a nice night." I told him as I turned around heading to the direction of my car, but before I could, I felt his hand grab my arm and bring me back to him.

"Harvey I really gotta go-"

"No don't please. May I?" He asked as he put his hand out for me to grab. I stared at him confused at what he was getting at but I played along and reached out for his hand. He put both his arms around my waist and I put my arms around his shoulders. We swayed back and forth a little bit until he started singing lyrics to a song I didn't know, but I've heard it before.

"You've got them Juliet eyes, and I can be your Romeo tonight. Star crossed we're love at first sight, and it's like a movie. She dances like she never gon' die. Blowing up the floor like she dynamite. I don't wanna tell her goodbye, but it's only one night."

He spun me around playfully and I turned bright red.

"Make up some lyrics and finish a stanza" He said smiling as we began swaying again.

"I don't think I'm cut out for that-"

"Come on Soph, I've seen that journal you write in. The songs you've done are amazing. I can get you signed into the same record label-"

"I- okay fine I'll try." I sad shrugging as he spun me around once again.

"Oh, he got me, oh he got me. Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay. Oh told me, oh he told me. Ay ay ay ay ay ay ay."
