The rainy night

I was about to argue back but the a slap interrupted me. The sharp noise echoed through the hallways of the empty school night. The woman beside me was my girlfriend–Shane. She was angry at me for forgetting our anniversary. Why whouldnt she? She was probably looking forward to this day since we started dating. I placed my right hand on the now slightly swollen ckeeck, hoping to lessen the pain–I started to rub it. Shane on the other hand–had already left with her umbrella, leaving me alone on the rainy night of the school's doorstep. Shit, I don't have an umbrella. I reached my bag hoping to find an umbrella inside. "i left it at home.." i mumbled to myself.

"hm? Don't have an umbrella?" a voice spoke from behind.

I turned around to see Felix–my annoying classmate. Although I've never talked to him before, I can already tell what kind of a nuisance he'd be if we actually become friends. So I chose to always ignore him, even when we were practically seatmates. "huh? Your still here?" I asked. Honestly, I don't really care why he was here, I only asked cause I wanted to sound polite.

Felix smiled playfully, like he'd usually do to probably anyone. "haha~ Yup, didn't really notice it was this late." He said as if it was the normalest thing in the world.

What?.. It's 8:00...well, not like i can say anything.. "uh..haha.."

He stared at me for a few seconds, I couldn't quite tell what he was thinking but it was quite obvious he wasn't buying my act. "you don't have an umbrella?" he asked curiously. He must've seen me panic while I tried to find it in my bag.

"yeah..Forgot it at home.."

He stared me for another few seconds, although it was probably just 5 seconds the silence were extremely deafening. "lets share then."

"huh?" what did he just say?..

"you heard me." he smiles, "let's share.". I couldn't quite tell if he's planning something or he really was just a good guy. But one thing's for sure–I was not going home wet.

I hesitated a little but after a few seconds of organizing my thoughts I gave in, with no other option I had to."alright."

He smiled fully satisfied by my answer and opened his umbrella. Oh, it was big enough for the both of us. "what are you doing? Get in." he said a hint of impatience.

The rude order annoyed me a little but i just obediently followed. Afterall he was the one kind enough to share.

The walk through the road was quiet, peaceful, comfortable. Which was definitely unexpected when with Felix–the guy who'd probably even befriend a cockroach. Why the hell is he so-

Beat.

Huh?.. Did my heart just skip a beat?.. I place a hand on my left chest. Why? Because of him? I paused. The thought itself was terrifying. There was no way. Right?.. I glance at Felix who was behind me, just casually walking, not even talking. He was making things worse. "ugh.." i feel like puking..

Felix noticed the groan and glanced back at me. His smile appearing once more. "hm? Is there something wrong?"

I shake my head. "no.. It's nothing.. Just keep walking..". I tried to denied it. I really did! So why does my heart keep beating fast everytime he leans closer? Or even when his shoulder accidentally bumps into mine while walking? Ugh.. This is so annoying..

Felix kept staring at me concern? Huh, no it looks way more sly that that. I just can't quite put what expression he's making right now. But it's sending me shivers. Not the perverted way, the worried way. What is he planning this time? "by the way, did you and your girlfriend fight?" he asked.

Huh? That was random.. "uh.. Yes. We did.."

"why?"

"..." silence filled the atmosphere. I wasn't really sure what to say. I mean it was my private life. Whouldnt Shane be angry if I tell someone about our relationship problems?.. "not telling."

Felix raised an eyebrow. "not telling? Why?"

The same question annoyed me. Why the hell is he asking so many questions? "cause I can't and Dont want to."

Felix scoffed at my response half amused half annoyed. "seriously? Fine. Don't tell me."

Huh? He's giving up so easily.. Never expected that.. I sighed. I just can't figure this guy out, can I? "jeezz, why are you so curious anyways?"

Felix paused for a moment before looking away his expression unreadable. "nothing.. Just wanted to know.." the carefree words were really annoying but there was some sort of tone behind it. I knew it all too well. But I just couldn't point it out.

I shoved my hands to my pockets and sighed. Too much thinking.. It's hurting my brain.. "it's cold.."

Felix glanced at me with another expression I can't read. And with one swift motion there was a blue jacket on my shoulder.

"huh?.." i was suprised by the sudden movement. Did he just give me his jacket? Seriously? Him? The guy who mocks anyone he sees?

Beat.

Fuck.. My hearts pounding like crazy.. My heart skipped a beat, again. I quickly looked away. "t-thanks I guess.." was i blushing? I couldn't even tell right now. God.. This guy's driving me crazy..
