Today's Friday. Finally...my favorite day. Well, technically, it's everyone's favorite because we don't have to worry about college the next day.

I used to spend this day just relaxing. Gathering energy for a night out on the weekend. 

I sighed. I can't do that now. That damn exam ruined all the fun for me. 

There are still three chapters to finish for the chemistry exam and I think those will be completed really soon. 

Thanks to Jesse, I can understand everything easily now. I was on my way to Jesse's home to pick him up and it looked like it was going to rain soon. 

I sped up because I don't like to drive in the rain. 

Fortunately, there was no rain when I stopped in front of Jesse's house. I subtly looked around for Lisa but this time, I had no luck in finding her. 

Even though I was tempted to ask Jesse about Lisa, I decided against it. I didn't want to make him suspicious. 

By the time Jesse and I reached my home, it was raining cats and dogs. 

We got into my room and I sighed before turning on the heater. It was cold. "God, it's raining like crazy," I said as I looked out through my window. 

"Y-Yeah...L-Let's just finish this really fast, " Jesse replied, taking out the books hastily. His hands were slightly shaking. 

I couldn't help the frown that made its way onto my face. Was he okay? He looked nervous and scared?  Why was he shivering? 

"Are you cold? Why are you shivering?" I asked him worriedly. 

"I'm alright, it's nothing," He replied with a nervous laugh. 

"Okay, " I shrugged. I knew something was wrong but I didn't question him further. I didn't want to make him feel uncomfortable.

It was around 8 pm when we decided to stop and have dinner. Jesse's mom called as we were having dinner. She sounded worried, I could feel it from the way Jesse talked to her. She said something about the news and Jesse told me to turn on the news. 

I did as he told me. 

There were alarming warnings about the storm all over the news. They were repeatedly telling everyone to stay inside because apparently a lot of people didn't listen and got injured by accidents and trees falling on them. 

I just watched it wide eyed. I thought it was just a rain with some crazy wind. I didn't think it was going to last so long. 

How am I going to drop Jesse off now?  It's all over the news. The instructions are not to go out. 

And I hate to drive in the rain. It always made me nervous. I don't know if I can safely get him home if we went out in the rain… 

He looks terrified to read the news. Why does he look like that? Does he not like the rain like me? 

"Y-Yeah...mom, I'm okay.....No, no it's okay I'll manage.....yeah, I'm sure.... No, mom, it's risky. Just stay home, okay? Don't worry, I'll be alright..... Yeah, love you too...." Jesse hung up the call and sighed. 

"I guess I can't go back," He said, rubbing his temple. 

"I'm sorry, I didn't know there was a storm coming," I said and looked down. I felt guilty for not checking the weather. 

"N-No, no...it's not your fault but umm… can I stay here tonight?" Jesse asked, rubbing the back of his neck. 

"Of course," I replied to him instantly, smiling wide.  I looked at his sweater and skinny jeans. He needs something else to wear if he's going to crash here tonight. That'll be uncomfortable to sleep in. "I'll give you something to change into, " I told him before making my way to my closet. 

I fished out some of my old clothes for Jesse to wear. He's really smaller than me so I don't think my new ones are gonna fit him. 

I took an old shirt, it was not that old but it was small for me and a boxer that I never really wore because it wasn't my size. 

I needed a sweatpant too, but I don't know if it's gonna fit him. I thought for a moment before I took it. 

"Here...these are my old clothes... They're the only smaller ones I have, " I smiled sheepishly as I gave them to him. 

"You can shower here... I'll use the bathroom in the next room," I said, pointing to the bathroom. 

Jesse just nodded and uttered a small thank you that was barely above a whisper for me to hear before he walked towards the bathroom. 

After he got into the bathroom, I took a sweatpant and my boxer brief before going to the next room to take a hot shower for myself.
