Thunder to your Rain (YA)

[2]

Rain's POV

The next few weeks were a strange adjustment. I'm used to Gray's perfume and lotion not Luke's cologne. And this fucking window. The window is open every day so i'm forced to wear a jacket. It's been 50 degrees lately but people still want the window open. Sometimes a jacket isn't enough.

I don't understand why Mrs.Greene didn't ask people where they wanted to sit. That would have been smarter than putting a wall person by a window. I'm a whole wall person. A WALL person.

I kind of spaced out but I realized Luke had asked me a question about the worksheet we're doing.

"Umm Rain how did you do number six?" It was a harder question but all he had to do was apply what we learned to be honest.

I grabbed his paper to turn it in my direction and pointed out to him that his math was wrong. I hope i'm not being rude. I feel bad for turning his paper so suddenly. I'm just giving myself unnecessary anxiety. But what I didn't realize was that when I got closer he did too.

"You have to fix this right here, the problem is asking for the molar mass of oxygen gas which is 32 but you put 16." I reply but not leaving the bubble he and I created it.

I feel like a creep but he smells really good and he might have other questions to ask. I can't just let him struggle and do this alone. I would never do that to a fellow classmate. It's my sole duty as his table mate to make sure he passes the quizzes.

I take a moment to stare at him as he erases the whole problem. All of his math was wrong because he started out with the wrong value. It be like that sometimes.

I felt a gust of wind blow into the classroom. I felt a shiver run down my body. I didn't think it would feel that cold when I picked out my outfit this morning. Luke must of picked up on it because he stopped doing number six and just handed me his jacket.

Literally no words, he just put it in my hands. Just like that.

"It's fine, it's not that cold," I said giving it back. I'll just suffer in silence.

Luke won't have it though, he just pushes it back. "You're visibly shivering and I just had Gym so i'm hot. Go ahead and put the jacket on." He's right about that he is hot.

"Are you sure?" I ask. I've never worn a boy's jacket before. This feels like something a guy does for his girlfriend.

"I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't," He says and finishes the problem.

I take the jacket and it's actually bigger than I thought it was. I thought maybe I wore a bigger size than him but I was wrong. There's so much space in this jacket I kind of feel small. And I like it.

I've never felt small before. As a girl who could lose a few pounds this feels really nice.

I'm on the backside of our chem worksheet and these problems have to do with balancing equations which i'm really bad at. Instead of asking for help now i'll just wait until the rest of them get to the back and ask later.

His jacket smells just like him and kind of sort of really want to like never give it back. Is this what being someone's girlfriend feels like? Cause if it is then I want this everyday.

Luke beckons me once more to help with another problem.

"Rain could you check my work for number 9? I don't think I did it right." He says looking unsure of himself.

I quickly scan over it and find a rookie mistake. I point to his units in his dimensional analysis.

"So you see here the moles are next to each other. They don't cancel out that way. The math is right but put the moles on the bottom so it can cancel out with the other mole." Am I a chemistry goddess or what?
