"God! Why is it raining so hard today! Even the weather forecast said it will be sunny!" said I, running down the street in search of a shelter to prevent from getting wet by the rain and of course from catching a cold.

"Oh! A shrine!" I took a turn quickly and reached under a roof, drying myself up. "God damn it! why is it raining today!!" I suddenly heard a male voice from the opposite side. "I even forgot to bring my umbrella today" I kept my silence and continued to listen to him. And guess what?, that male was none other than my crush! I squealed internally, thinking -'Thank you thank you thank you! For raining today!'.

"Aachoo!" I sneezed... 'Why the hell is my timing so bad?! And why the hell you decided to come just now sneeze!??' I cursed and quickly started to plan out something but before that I heard footsteps coming towards me and... here it goes- The man is standing right in front of me, drenched just as I am but I couldn't dare to look up to him and instead of that I just blushed and looked away. 

Zen's POV: 

I stared at the feminine figure in front of me, surprised. 'whatttttttttt why is she here?!' 'No I mean I probably look like a drenched monkey right now!!, Ugh for god's sake, I don't even know whether I should curse the rain or jump from happiness that I got to meet with her here?!'.. "Umm... Do you want to say something? You have been staring at me for a while now" I heard the voice just to take me back to the real world. "Oh uh I didn't mean to stare at you! I was just wondering whether you'll use this towel from baseball club or not! I haven't used it!" I managed to utter the words, stammering of course and handed the towel over to her. "Um thank you- Oh looks like the rain has stopped! I'll be going now! Thanks again!"And in a second she was already standing by the gate, before my brain could sum it up. "I'll give you your towel tomorrow at school!" She yelled and there she goes running away again.

I crumbled up and fell to the ground, covering my face by my hands as I took a deep breathe. "I talked with her.....................And she took my towel....................." "...........she relied on me".

I swear I kept on muttering to myself for a good 20 minutes that day. The memories of that day  are still alive in my mind, so brightly and warmly.
