Ch. 16

I sat quietly in class the following day. Yoh barely made eye contact with me. My mother was sleeping when I got home the night before, which was a relief since I thought I'd get in trouble for coming home so late. And of course, my mother would not blame Yoh for any faults that he had. So, I sat in class, eyeing him secretly out of the corner of my eye. He looked pretty depressed from what I could tell. Finally, I turned to him saying with a smile, "I gotta go to the park today!"

"What?" Yoh asked as if I had awakened him from a pleasant dream.

"I have to go to the park."

"For what?"

"I have to read a few chapters in my history book and I read the best when I'm at the park."

"And what role do I have in this?"

"Just…" I said swallowing my pride…it went down slowly and painfully, "I want you to drive me there."

"No."

"What?" I felt his one word kick me in the face. At first I thought that he had actually hit me. Then, I realized that it was just the shock of his refusal.

"I don't want to drive you anywhere. If you're always going to take me for granted, why should I take you anywhere or do anything for you?"

"…fine then, you don't have to…or if you want, could you just drop me off at the park, then, pick me up later?"

Yoh looked at me with a slight glare. He didn't look too happy. But, he seemed to give in saying in a low voice, "I'll drop you off."

I smiled. This was better than nothing.

After school ended, he drove to the park and carried me into the grass. I could feel how light I felt in his arms. He made me feel light and almost childish. It was almost as if he were my protector for a moment. But, no! I was not falling for him. Not YOHH. He set me down in the grass and left me there to sit and read. I grasped the book on my crippled lap and wanted to urge him to stay, but my pride choked my words and I watched him walk away. "I'll be back around five…before dark," Yoh said.

I sighed as I watched him leave. He looked so sad…

I sat there in the grass and watched the clouds pass over head for a moment. The clouds were so high and unreachable. So far…it reminded me of Yoh. I didn't understand him. He treated me like crap…then, rescued me…then, tried to pity me…then, tried to abandon me over and over and over again! I was confused. But I managed to force my thoughts into the intriguing note my sarcasm world of Robert E. Lee the general during the time of the Civil War, who fought bravely for Virginia.

After I got past page five of the Civil War and all those casualties, I noticed that the sun wasn't shining anymore. I didn't know how much time had passed, but I did notice the dark clouds that were starting to block the sun. Gray clouds and my crippled self alone in the park didn't seem comforting. Next thing I knew, I felt a little tickle upon my skin. It was wet. Then, a couple more…and soon, those little raindrops invited their friends…and then, there came the spill.

I threw my book open and covered my head, as if that helped. The grass around me immediately began to become damp. Little puddles grew to become mud bowls. I sat in the middle of it, feeling the cold water run down my arms and face. My hair clung to my cheeks as I sat there completely helpless. That stupid Lyserg had stolen my cell phone, so I was stranded.

I suddenly dropped my book realizing that I was up to my thighs in mud. Water had soaked into my shoes. My hair was dripping rain also. What was the point of putting a book over my head when I was already drenched? I sloshed my hands into the thick mud around my ankles. Then, I picked up a clump. Taking the mud, I squeezed it so that it oozed between my fingers. Feeling tears well up at the corners of my eyes, I grasped more mud, then threw it as far as I could. "This can't get worse!" I screeched at the top of my lungs, throwing my head up to the sky. "God? Can You hear me? This can't get worse! Just hit me with lightning while I'm still in this suffering!"

But God must have been busy at the moment and didn't seem to hear my problems. Either that or He was ignoring me, which I understood because I complained to Him so often. But I could feel all the pain and stress start to swell so much that it was inflating my heart…I was almost afraid I'd explode.

Omg…my day is the worst if my life isn't the worst already….

I looked to the side and suddenly saw a little shaded place under a tree. It looked dry enough since the roots were large and protruded from the flat mud and grass, I could sit on top of there, to at least keep out of the brown muck. I pulled myself along with all the strength I had left in my arms. But, I wasn't making much progress. Finally, I gave up and sat there alone in the rain and the tears began to fall…but no one could tell I was crying of course, because the rain rinsed the bitter tears all away…all away…and where the hell was YOHH! I knew it! He had ditched me…again…

I stared out through the rain, squinting my eyes to keep myself seeing straight. Otherwise, the colors and shapes of the world would all blend and mix together.

But as I focused my eyes, I saw a familiar figure running towards me. I strained my eyes against the falling rain and gasped as I recognized him.

"Hao!" I cried.

Hao was beaming as he ran to me and picked me up from the rain.

"What is a young lady like you doing sitting in the muddy rain?"

"OmG! Hao!" I said as I felt more tears run down my face with the rain. This time, it was joy that I felt that poured from my eyes. Hao picked me up in his arms and carried me to his car.

I was drenching the car seat in mud and rainwater, but he didn't seem to mind at all. I was with Hao…I was safe…and Yoh wasn't there for me. At that moment, I decided that it was final. Hao was the one—not Yoh…not YOHH…No…
