6 Chapter 5: Soaking Wet In The Rain

Annalise's POV

Yesterday, I was saved by Ace. I was thankful that he saved me. Ace is like my knight and shining armor. What a coincidence because his surname is also Knight.

When we are sharing the umbrella, we are so close to each other, and I found our position awkward. I looked at Ace's side profile, and he is so handsome. I bet those desperate girls are jealous of us now. Suddenly, my heart skips a bit. OMG! What is this? I cannot feel like this because I am only Ace's fake girlfriend, and I'm not interested in love yet. I'm just going to ignore what I'm feeling right now.

Right now, Selena and I are at the library, making an essay homework to be pass tomorrow.

"Hey, ladies. What's up?"

Selena and I looked at the person who said that, and it is James. Ace is also with James.

"Making an essay. It's our homework the deadline is tomorrow,"

"Oh, I almost forgot. I will make that when I get home,"

"Can we join you?" Ace said.

"Sure"

Ace sat beside me, and James sat beside Selena.

"What subject is that?"

"History subject. We are making a critique paper. I'm almost done,"

"You are? I'm not done yet actually,"

"Uh, can I have your number? Because I didn't get your number yet,"

"Oh, ok. Give me your cell phone,"

"Here"

I looked at Selena, and she is making a weird expression.

Ace and I exchanged numbers.

"Ok. Now we can exchange messages. By the way, every day my locker is full of letters, but now, I'm glad that it's empty,"

"That's great,"

"Yup. They will just greet me and make a star-struck expression,"

"That's good,"

I finished my essay homework and probably head home.

"I'm done, Selena,"

"Already?"

"I will take my leave now. You?"

"I will stay here for a while,"

"Ok"

"Let's go, Anna?"

"Ok"

"I will take my leave also. Got to run," James said.

"See you tomorrow, Sel,"

"Ok. Take care,"

Ace and I went out of the library. James ran already. When we are about to go outside the building, it's raining cats and dogs. Oh no, what to do? I still didn't bring my umbrella.

"Do you have an umbrella, Ace?"

"Sorry, but I forgot to put it inside my bag,"

"I know. Let's make a run for it,"

I ran, and I am now soaking wet. Ace followed me, and we ran.

Prince Ace's POV

James and I are returning a book at the library when we saw Anna and Selena. James and I joined them. When Anna is done making an essay, we left the library. When we are about to go outside the building, it's raining hard, and I forgot my umbrella at my condo unit. Maybe Anna has one, but she also said that she forgot to bring it either. She said to make a run for it, so we are now running and soaking wet.

"This is fun, isn't it, Ace?"

"Yeah. It's been so long since I played with the rain,"

"Me too,"

I looked at Anna, and she is smiling like a child. She has a beautiful smile.

She is walking backward when a bicycle is about to hit her.

"Watch out, Anna"

I grab her waist, and we are now close to each other. We look at each other, and she looked more beautiful up close.

"Uhm"

"Ah, sorry,"

"Thank you,"

"Don't mention it,"

My heart skips a bit. Why am I feeling like this? We are just fake couples, and I'm not interested in love. I'm just going to ignore this feeling.

After that incident, we continued to run and head to where we are staying.
