Sara's Sudden Outburst

Dylan's POV

I never thought Sara would be such a scheming girl! Why would she hide my umbrella like that? But somehow it was a plus side to her cuteness. See how I'm fixated on the word cute? Because there was so much of it in her. Her actions, nervousness, coming up with these different tricks as if shr really does....

I punched myself. Sara looked confused.

She... is... just.... being... nice.

After chanting that 5 times over in my head, I felt like i was back on thr ground.

I mean, I can't go making the same mistake twice... Hehe

She opened up her umbrella but then paused for a moment. Her ears were turning red.

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!

So did mine when i caught up to the situation we were in right now.

WHY WERE WE

ENDING UP IN THE SAME 'COUPLE SITUATION' OVER AND OVER AGAIN!

AND THIS TIME IT WAS THE SHARING UMBRELLA CLICHE

Even though it was embarassing, She lifted up the umbrella and thats when i noticed a small problem. She was holding the umbrella over her head to make sure i could also stand comfortably

CUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUTE!!!!!!!

I couldnt help but laugh. It was an epiphanic moment for someone short, like me! Thank God it wasnt Christine or I would've stood in a corner and cried about it...

"I'll hold it for you, dummy!" Just as I was going to hold it, my fingers brushed by hers. I held my embarassment as if i would die otherwise.

But sneaking a peek on her face, it was not what i expected. Lowkey, she was shivering. She too was holding in something. But it wasn't embarassment. It was something along the lines of...

Fear...

I wanted to tell her that this wasn't a good idea, but before i could say anything, she started walking ahead.

And so i caught up to her.

then...

Sara's POV

It felt really strange and ecstatic for some reason. Every step felt so impactful... we were really unmatched for the first few seconds, trying to match each other's paces.

Not even a few seconds had passed when we reached the school entrance. We ignored all the eyes that were on us... Well atleast we tried.

I looked at Dylan. He was smiling now. It wasn't a completely innocent smile. Somehow it gave me weird butterflies in my stomach

"Hey Um... Sara-" Oh no! Did he notice me?

"So... Ummm... Uhhh..." his ears looked beet reed. He was trying to look my way but abruptly stopped again and again. The butterflies got stronger "Nevermind... its nothing..."

"Its okay... If anything's troubling you, you can tell me right away! I'll listen to any worries you have!" I said and smiled in the best way i could. I wanted to know what he was trying to say. Why would he be so hesitant and not tell me anything?

dummy...

Then he finally looked my way. "I dont know if this is relevant or not, but you looked really cute just now." He said this, and then quickly covered up his mouth and looked the other way.

The butterflies turned into rollercoasters! WHY WOULD HE SAY THAT!!!

Dyaln's POV

WHY THE FUCK DID I SAY THAT?? I DONT KNOW!

I THOUGHT I SAID IT IN MY MIND!

she didnt say anything back.

AWKWARDDDDDD!!

"T-Thanks." she whispered.

But now i had to focus on the main problem.

Since both of us were keeping our distance, the umbrella wasn't big enough for both of us. My shoulders were getting wet.

But with Sara It was a different story. Her strap was visible, and she didnt seem to be aware in any way about it! I had to tell her somehow!

Which colour was it tho?

SHUT UP! UR GONNA GO TO JAIL.

Wait I'm minor like her so its alright.

LIKE HELL IT IS! TELL HERRRRR!!!

OKOK I WILL... just a little more...

This was bad... Something was rising and it wasn't the she*ld hero!

O my rescue came Mr. Random rock on the pavement. Sara tripped and lost her balance.

Thats when a beast awakened in me. Faster than the flash, stronger than superman, I put my one foot forward spun 180 degrees and caught by the shoulder.

WHAT AN AMAZING MOVE! I should be expecting a confession any moment now.

After all, I PULLED OFF SOMETHING SO BREATHTAKING!!!(it was mere luck)

Im so amazing... Wait... I felt a bulge in her shoulders

Fuck.

OH DAMN IT WAS THE S-S-S-S-STRAPPP!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!

time elapsed: 0.7 seconds.

"Are you alright Sa-"

"DON'T TOUCH ME!!!" A voice of her i never heard, yelled out, full of fear, panic and... I dont even know. Next thing I knew, I was on the ground.

I looked up at her. She was shivering... Like that time our hands brushed. But much more severe. Her eyes shot glares that looked at me as if i was a terrible disgusting creature.

Her eyes were tearing up more and more.

I had no idea what to do.

Why?

Why was she on the verge of tears?

"Sara... Did I..." I decided to stop and not push her further.

"ITS not your fault! But its just... I..." she stopped.

Both of us were at a loss for words.

"I'm sorry." she said and ran off. I wanted to stop her. But that would only create more problems.

I got up. It was still raining hard. Shit went from 0-100 so quick i didnt even realize.

The umbrella was on the ground.

She had forgotten it.

Shit.
