its been a week since zach transferred and the guys had decided he should join us in our little group.
why? i don't know.

"so...why do you love the rain so much?" i can't help but ask as we work together on our science project.
zach doesn't answer for a second and i wonder if he even heard me.
i was gonna repeat myself, but then he spoke.
"let me get back to you on that one when i find the words to describe it" he says as he pops up from behind the desk, a long with some safety goggles.
"safety first" he chuckles and i can't help but smile at his laugh.
zach is intriguing.
"do you like the rai-" i don't even let him finish.
"hate it."
he gives me a blank stare but then continues with "hates a strong word" he then give me another smile.
"i am not saying 'a strong dislike', i simply hate the rain its as simple as that" i say.
zach gives me another long blank stare. "why?".
"when i find the words, i'll get back to you" i wink as i say a similar saying of what he said.
he smiles.
"god damn that smile is gonna kill me."
the bell rings.
it started pouring again.
"ugh, just stop already" i groaned as i made my way down to the cafeteria.
"yelp!" jonah makes a noise when he sees me.
"someone is gloomy, again" corbyn says as he throws a salt packet at daniel.
"why is it always raining in april and may?" i ask as i plop down in a spare chair.
"umm april showers, bring may flowers dummy" a voice comes from behind me and there's zach smiling as he passes our table.
"what?" i ask as he continues walking. "that's one reason i love rain it brings flowers, and i like flowers" he says as he continues down into the absent hallway.
"i thought he was sitting with us?" daniel asks.
i just shrug and continue on with being a gloomy looking emo kid, as corbyn would put it, i'm not emo...i just like the color black.

"aye" a voice comes from a small girl, vanessa.
"hey" i say as i sit on one of the choir steps.
"you should convince the new kid to join choir" she says as her lip curls upward.
"zach?" i ask "yep, he sound really nice" she says a she pops a squat down beside me. "how would you know?" i ask.
"he's the new neighbors kid, he sings in the rain" she says.
"do you seriously just sit outside waiting to hear his voice?" i give her a weird look and she simply punches my shoulder going "don't judge me!"
"stop making it so easy then" i mumble as i begin laughing at the same time.
"but anyways convince him! he'll fit in well" she says again as one of her friends ellie calls her back over.
"yeah, whatever."

"wait for the rain to stop and then you'll hear him, he was singing a couple minutes before you got here" she says as she slightly jumps, as if to peek over at the hidden boy.
"whatever " i sighed as i watch droplet fall off the plants on her porch.
"there is no way that's zach" i say but instantly doubt myself.
"peek through the fence" vanessa points to her privacy fence.
"i will" i say as i make my way over to the fence i quickly latch my hands on the fence and pull myself up.
"holy hell" i mumble "zach?" i say and it instantly scares him out of his chair. "j-jack?" he says as he leaps up.
i smile as i hang there on the fence, i wave and simply say "you should join the choir."
i drop to the ground and i hear zach say.
"that's another reason i love rain, you can sing in the rain...and i love singing."
