Running in the Rain
Aside from the sound of the raindrops falling harshly against the pavement, the two Azumano High students were stuck in complete silence.
Risa Harada cocked her head to the side and put a thoughtful frown on. "Hmm..."
Satoshi Hiwatari merely continued to breathe and blink. He never did talk much.
Both of them stared at the scene in front of them. Just that morning, the skies had been a brilliant blue. Now, the temperature had dropped, the clouds were grey, and it was pouring rain. Global warming... it was such a frustrating thing...
"Well..." Risa said, making a suggestion. "We could run."
Satoshi didn't move. "The most logical thing would be to call my driver and have him drop you off at your house."
"Most logical, huh?" Risa thought for another minute, continuing to watch the rain fall down. "... I'm going to run."
Before he could even protest, Risa was running down the street, glancing up at the sky, whooping and hollering to herself about how cold it was. He didn't stop to think until he had run after her. "Harada-san, are you crazy?"
He caught her arm as she finished twirling around in circles. She smiled innocently. "Oh, you came to join me, Hiwatari-kun?"
Satoshi glared at her. "You're annoying."
"And you're anal." She stood on tiptoe and kissed his cheek. "Come on!"
This time, Satoshi didn't seem to protest when Risa and him ran down the road.
