Into The Rain With You
Kai is popular in high school—charming, surrounded by friends—but always feels alone, as though he's the one constantly reaching out while no one truly sees him. His life changes when he meets Haruka, a quiet and mysterious girl reading alone in the cafeteria during a rainy afternoon. Unlike anyone he's known, Haruka doesn’t demand attention, and her soft-spoken nature pulls Kai in. P.S. THERE WILL ONLY BE ONE GIRL IN THIS NOVEL, and some bros helping another bro out.
Chapter 8: Shadows In The Distance
There are some days when everything feels like it's moving forward, but you're stuck in place. The world is speeding ahead, people laughing, talking, living their lives, but you're caught somewhere behind, trying to catch your breath, trying to make sense of everything.
That was how I felt when I woke up that morning. The days felt heavier now, like each moment was tied to the last, and the weight of it all was starting to suffocate me.
I sat at my desk, staring at my reflection in the window across from me. My room was dim, the morning light filtering weakly through the curtains, but it wasn't the darkness that bothered me. It was the silence. The silence inside my head, that was loud enough to drown out everything else.
I didn't know what I was running from anymore.
