Chapter 2: Walking in the rain
I wake up the next morning with a yawn. Then I look at my alarm clock. 4:27. Perfect timing.
You may ask why I get up so early. I get up early to do the homework I always forget to do before bed. Of course I don't forget to do it, I'm just busy, but I say I forget it so that my identity is not revealed. I don't know what I would do if someone found out. This is one of the very few things in my life that's going good for me.
I finish all my homework rapidly. I then go downstairs and make myself some breakfast. I eat for about 45 minutes. That means it's about 5:45 am. Great.
It's raining today. I love the rain. I'm strange that way; I prefer dark, rainy days over sunny ones. I prefer spring best out of all the seasons not because it ends dreary winter (which is my second favorite season) but because it rains the most and is a perfect temperature.
I grab my umbrella, my book bag, and my phone and headphones and leave. I used to write a note when it was uncommon for me to be up this early but at this point my family doesn't expect to see me.
I walk outside and put my umbrella up. It's so beautiful. I love the rain because it holds a sort of beauty. When everything is wet the world looks new and reborn. The rain is also nice if you are mad or depressed. When it's raining is always a good time to make a move on someone, as well. There goes my inner matchmaker talking again.
I go to one of my favorite spots in the world: the woods. I like how it is always quiet and peaceful in there and how there are no annoying humans to bother you. Aka Four, my brother, or basically anyone except for Christina, Will or my parents. I personally prefer my mom over my dad, though.
I don't notice the other person in the woods today, I just get lost in the music coming from my phone. I love this song. I start humming along. I still haven't noticed the person who is slowly getting up and walking towards me. I suddenly feel something touch my arm. I swat at it thinking its a bug.
Oh my god.
What if it's a spider? I don't know why but I don't like crows, and one time when I was little I saw a crow eating a spider. Now I also don't like spiders. I slap the thing that's touching my arm now. I am greeted with a shout of "Ow!" That's not a spider.
I look up and am greeted with the unmistakable face of Four.
"Yes?" I ask. I am very annoyed. I am annoyed because I trusted the woods and thought I wouldn't find anyone or anything annoying here.
"Hi." He says.
"Bye." I respond. I turn the other way and put my earbuds back in and start humming along again. I sit down in a rock. I feel someone sit next to me. What does he want?!
"What do you want?!" I snap facing him.
"Nothing." He replies with a blank face.
"Good. Now shoo shoo!" I say shoving him.
"I'm good." He responds. I groan. "Just pretend I'm not here." He says. Fine.
I go back to just listening to music and enjoying the rain when I hear him start singing. I would tell him to stop if he weren't so good. Alright, I don't care how good he is, he is still extremely annoying.
"What are you doing?" I ask.
"Singing." He says.
"Why?" I ask.
"Because I can." This guy just can't stop being annoying, can he? He resumes singing and I notice how he sounds like he knows this song really well.
"Are you familiar with this song?" I ask.
"Yes." That's all. No elaboration. I just let him keep singing until it's time to leave.
I start getting up and walking but then I am accompanied.
"I'll walk you." He says. At this point I'm just tuning out everything he does and says.
When we get to school I am met with death glare from all of the single girls. They are all mad at me now because stupid Four wouldn't leave me alone. PreTty much every girl who isn't in a real relationship is in one with Four in their minds. I get about six questions per week asking if they would be good with Four. Every time I just snort and say no because Four doesn't like any girl and would die if he was forced into a relationship. Like me.
I mean sure, if I did fall in love maybe a relationship would be bearable but other than that it would suck. It's so ironic how I love making relationships but have never been in one. It's a gift.
Christina runs up to me.
"Why did captain annoying escort you in today?" She asks. This is what I love about her, she isn't blinded by Fours good looks. She knows he's an annoying jerk that everyone only likes because he's handsome.
"I don't know. I did my daily routine and he was there in the woods. He wouldn't leave me alone after that." I say, knowing how Christina is all too familiar with my routine. My routine never changes, it hasn't changed for the past two years.
"You still do that? I thought you would have started to remember to do your homework at some point. We should get you a calendar so you can write down all your assignments." She continues blabbing about how I should start to remember to do my homework. I tune her out wondering what sorts of questions Cupid will be asked today.
