Galvin didn’t show up for class next day. I wondered what happened to him.
Prof: Class dismissed. Don’t forget term papers are due next Friday. Timmy, can I see you at the principal’s office?
…
Hey wanna go home with me?
Uh-sure.
When we reached the school’s gate, rain started to fall.
Uh-oh. I didn’t bring my car with me. Do you have an umbrella?
No. I didn’t know it would rain.
What are we going to do now? The rain seemed to get harder by the minute.
C’mon, let’s find shelter on a bus stop.
How?
Harris took off his coat and put it above my head and his.
With my umbrella. Come closer, you’ll get wet.
I stared at his angelic face. He appears to care for me everyday. With him, I felt safe. I’m secured. I sighed. Wait. Am I falling for him? His dimples showed up when he smiled as I realized he caught my gaze.
You don’t have to stare at me like you are falling in love with me.
Freak. I would never like you.
Are you sure about that?
Whatever pal. C’mon, when the rains’ not that hard.
We trudged along the slippery sidewalk with his arms over my head, the soft panting of his breath I can even hear and the only thing that protected us against the rain was his coat.
