The Boy (across the classroom)

C h a p t e r - 4

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Soon, the rain became weaker.

It was a good time for us to head home.

The only exception is, I had no umbrella.

The boy sat beside me sighing, 

'maybe he forgot his umbrella too', I thought.

He looked at me, "Do you have an umbrella?"

I shook my head.

The boy sighed again. And he looked up in the sky.

The crying sky made me feel a little bit uneasy at times.

It's usually when I'm alone.

But now..

..this boy is with me, and he makes me feel..

..feel..

...feel noticed.

Nobody talks to me in class, but this boy,

this boy, 

....he spoke to me.

"Why don't we use my folder?" The boy said.

I looked at him in confusion.

"Ah, it's big enough to fit two people." He smiled at me.

My eyes widened.

I'm going to share a folder with this boy?

It isn't like the usual stories where they use umbrellas...

..but a folder?

"Are you going with me?"

I bit my lip for a moment, and I nodded.

This will be the first time that--

No, second time that the boy and I would be together alone.

But this time, he's the one inviting me.
