The boy with red eyes

"Oh, umbrella" most object dislike me very much, my umbrella ran away again. The thought made me daze at the sight of dripping eagerly outside. I do love rain but not when i am unwell. Although the existence of Ella made my pain ease it returned the moment she left. Sound of the rain which is usually a lovely sound is like a hammer hitting my head today.

"What are you doing here?" suddenly a unfamiliar voice came to strike my ear. A cold, sharp voice but it didn't seem to be angry or annoyed like my friends. I looked at the source of the sound. A boy about my age was standing. He had a crimson eyes and pitch black hair, surprisingly he was handsome. A boy that Ella would find interesting or fall in love with. As i stare at him he narrows his eyes, the movement of his make me realize that i haven't replied to his question yet.

"Hello, i was just about to go home. Sorry if i disturbed you"

i wonder what he needs? I use the attitude that i use to my friend. Ella would surely be happy if she meets him. He only seem to stare at my eyes even though i responded to him. I just shrug the fact that he is staring at me, putting my bag on my shoulder. Making no fuss i make it to the door which he was leaning on to. How should i pass through him if he is blocking the door? I make a sigh in my mind and put the normal smile back on the place.

"Sorry, would you mind moving a bit? I would like to go through the door"

As he heard my voice he slowly moved away from the door, i was relieved that he didn't find me annoying or rude. When i walked past him he suddenly grabs my wrist.

"Wait"

Once he said that i automatically turned to face him waiting for a few second for him to continue his sentence. No response for a minute, i have a sudden urge to just ignore him and go ahead but that felt very much rude to him so i tossed that thought away. While waiting for him i admired his bloody red eyes, it was beautiful like a jewel but it looked a bit lifeless. After a few more seconds he realizes that i have been waiting for him to say something.

"Do you want to.... "

He starts his sentence with a slight blush on his face, not making any eye contact with me. He suddenly breathes in deeply and change his face stern making me surprise.

"I heard that you don't have an umbrella, how dumb are you to not bring one?"

Am i allowed to kick him? Pushing down the enormous desire to hurt him somehow i make a response to his insult.

"It's nothing you need to worry about, thank you for the care though"

Putting my best smile to hide my anger i try to walk away from him, predicting that he would let my wrist go but he pulls me back to my original place or even more closer to him. He makes a desperate face, opening his mouth to say something but stopping midway. After few more seconds of him reacting odd he finally speaks.

"I will lend you... "

Slight panic was in his eyes, his voice in a whisper but desperate to say something. I wait there in a confusion. Lend me? What?

"You can use my umbrella if you really want it, well I'm not dumb as you so i brought my umbrella today"

Can i kick him? I know the answer is a definite no but my anger blows up. I try my best to hide it, i want to kick him so hard. Then that's where i noticed his facial expression, he looked like he was on verge of crying. Huh? Why?? I didn't do anything yet? I try my best to comfort him, forgetting about the anger which was in my heart a second ago. I hold his hand with both hands near my face and smile brightly, a smile that i never show to anyone and say the word gently

"Thank you"
