Drip....
Drop...
Drip.....
Drop....
After months of hot sun, down came the rain. There's sort of a melancholy to this season ; the shrill sound of rain drops, the petrichor scent of the dry earth getting soaked by the tinkling water drops, I love everything about it.
"Finally it stopped raining . " says Joshua smiling.
"I love the rain. I find it peaceful. " I tell him closing the umbrellas soaked in rain.
"Hey Eva , before I forget, you are going for the tour right? I heard there's going to be an art exhibition of your favorite artist as well. "
"No.. I don't know, Joshua. I don't want to go. Actually, I.. I.. I'm kinda busy that day." I lie.
I can't tell him the real reason because if I do, he'll try to help me. The truth is that, I really want to attend the exhibition but the ticket costs a ton. I don't have that kind of money .I know how hard Maa works for me. Sometimes certain sacrifices have to be made for the people we love and I'm more than happy to do this for my Maa.
"Wait, a budding artist like you!!!! Are you serious, Eva?? You really don't wanna go? You wanted to meet that artist since forever." says Joshua surprised.
"I'll try, but I'm not sure. Don't force me, okay.. Josh"
"As you wish,my lady" Joshua chuckles.
"Dude, you need to stop calling me that ?" I say, crossing my arms.
"Me!? Stop calling you.. My lady.. Ohhhhhh.. never, ever, ever, my lady. " Joshua laughs poking my cheeks with the end of the wet umbrella.
"Ahh you" I say, playfully hitting him with the rain soaked umbrella.
I see the students running towards the entrance gate. They look like those exited kids in toy stores.
Some random girl shouts, "OMG THAT'S KYOYA MAKATO....Ahh!!"
I see him. A boy. Not just any boy.. A good looking one. Everything about him screamed luxury. The costly car, the tailored black suit, his branded shoes,the Armani watch that he wore, everything.
" Hey, Josh am I missing something?? Who's Kyoya Makato?" I ask confused.
"Eva, you really dont know him. Wow, are you really a girl? or something else?" Joshua grins.
" Do I need to prove it to you? Huh, you want proof?" I say raising my eye brows.
"I mean I really wouldn't mind, if you, you know!!!" Joshua smirks.
"Ahhhhh!!!!! This dirty boy!!! You want to die?
I give Joshua a smack and run away from him.
"Eva, Ahh, You are so dead, when I catch you!!" Joshua yells running after me.
" You can't catch me. I'm faster."
I accidentally bump into Kyoya and we both fall onto the ground.
"I.. I.. I.. I'm s...s..s..sorry. I didn't mean it." I apologize.
Kyoya yells, "Shut Up!!" He stares at me like he wanted to burn me alive and walk away, after making the rude statement.
"Eva, you alright? Dude really?? Don't mess with him, okay. That guy is filthy rich and he's the heir of SS Entertainment company. Besides that his father practically owns this school. I'd stay away from him." Joshua says holding out his hand.
"Ahh.. oh that's why!!! Ahh Rich guy power. "
Later when I reached the classroom, I got the surprise of a lifetime.
"Good Morning Class. We have a new student joining us today. Young man, please introduce yourself"
"I'm Kyoya Makato, Nice to meet you all"
He was going to be my classmate.
