------WHEN THE RAIN FALLS

--Chapter 3: Monday Morning

Lewa woke up to the sun in his face. Last night had scared the bejeezus out of him. It had taken him a while to fall asleep. He shook the thoughts from his head, grabbed his iPod, and ran downstairs to breakfast.

"Morning," his mom said to him.

"Morning," he replied. He sat down and began eating some Cheerios. He ran to the bus stop. There, he joined the crowd. Surprisingly, he saw Gali among the kids. He moved over to her.

"Hey." He said.

"Oh! Hey."

"Any ideas?"

"No…"

They stood the next few minutes in silence. Lewa was fiddling with his hoodie to hide his deep red blush. He liked Gali really bad, but he didn't want her to know…yet.

"Say…um…Gali?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to the arcade after school. Wanna come?"

"Sure! Sounds like fun!"

Lewa breathed a small sigh of relief.

Gali looked at him and said, "4:00, ok?"

Lewa nodded. "Where should we meet?"

"By the Time Crisis 3 machine."

"Ok," Lewa smiled. "Got it,"

The bus pulled up, and they all got on. Lewa saw Pohatu near the back and sat with him.

"Hey, Lewa,"

"Hey, Pohatu,"

Pohatu looked at Lewa strangely. "Lewa, you're blushing something fierce. What happened at the bus stop?"

"Um…nothing…I…"

"Sure, absolutely noth---"

Suddenly, Pohatu stopped. He listened to Gali a few seats away.

"…and now we're going to the arcade! I can't wait! He's such a nice boy…"

Pohatu looked back at Lewa with a 'busted' look on his face.

"Ok, I, if you will, asked her out to the arcade." Lewa confessed. "I've seen her a lot there."

"What does she like to play?"

"Time Crisis, Dance Dance Revolution, House of the Dead, RapidRiver, there's a multiplayer trivia game, and that Waterski racing game…I don't know what it's called."

"Bring lots of money for credits then…DDR and RapidRiver aren't cheap games. It's like, 7 credits per play on those games." Pohatu shook his head. "Gali's not going to be a cheap date."

"I know," Lewa laughed. "I got some extra money for chores. I'll have enough."

The bus pulled up to the school and six special kids all ran to the school doors as a storm broke above them.

Ending Notes: This was written kinda quickly, I have to go somewhere soon. If anyone wants something to happen on the date, review and let me know. And of course, anyone who has read my other stories should know that I just had to throw DDR in the story somehow. - The Next Chapter: Electric
