I was running very fast, but you couldn't blame me. It was raining outside and the bus was miles away. Why did I choose to go to public school? I thought back to the conversation with my father.
"Go to Ouran. Your sister is attending. You're brighter than she is. It's a lovely school, why don't you just try it out?"
"I don't want to," I snapped, crossing my arms over my chest. "You don't understand, father. That school is for snobs. I want to be around normal people. I don't want to be liked for your money."
He sighed, running his hands through his grey hair. "I suppose you're right. If you wish to go to public school, fine by me. Your sister will attend Ouran. However, you must take the bus home. I'm not picking you both up."
I smiled, content with myself. There's nothing wrong with taking the bus.
I hated taking the bus. I didn't know how far away it was going to be. Every time after school finished, I would have to make my way past Ouran and look up at the beautiful, looming buildings in an attempt not to be jealous. Don't get me wrong; I liked public school, but my sister always came home with stories that seemed relatively interesting. Me on the other hand? I had nothing but tired eyes and gum stuck to the bottom of my shoe.
I stopped running and looked up at the sky through squinted eyes. The rain fell onto my face more powerfully than earlier. Wincing, I continued to run, pulling my hood over my head. I stopped running suddenly when I came to the gates of a very large school. I sighed as I heard the lightening crack behind me. I had to go inside before I drowned in the unforgiveable weather.
I walked to the gates, hoping they would open. Cameras pointed at me. I squinted up at them through the rain. Shrugging, I gave the camera a wave. "I just want to get out of the rain!" Nothing happened. Angrily, I slumped up against the wall, soaked. A loud burst of thunder cracked as I hugged myself tighter.
Suddenly I noticed the gates opening. Smiling, I gave the camera my thumbs up. Picking up my wet backpack and slinging it across my shoulder, I ran inside towards the doors.
