Lucia's pov's
I was walking fast as thunder rummbled in the sky.
I was supposed to be home already, but I went to Sonia's house for our song rehearsal and lost track of time.
Now it was about to rain and I had no umbrella with me.
Then it started raining and I cursed out loud.
"The hell!!"
Yeah...I'm a prood one.
I quickly ran into a shop close by and stood there shivering.
' I should have gone home from school,
Leila and sam already went home.'
I stood there for a while as the rain got heavier and the sky durned dark and I decided to run home in the rain.
Just as I made to run, I saw a boy standing opposite me in front of the registration office with two umbrellas in his hands.
I immediately dashed to him.
"Hello, may I borrow your umbrella?"
He turned to me and I noticed he was wearing a nose mask.
But from his eyes I could tell he was handsome....very handsome.
Then he gave me one umbrella and turned to go .
"Hey, wait for me here tomorrow and I'll give this back too you." I screamed and he stopped.
"No need." He said and left.
But I stood still.
He's voice was so gorgeous that I nearly had a nose bleed.
Damn!!!
Who's that hunk?
Ahh, I should have asked his name or taken he's number.
But it was too late, it seemed like he was waiting for his ride as he entered a black porches that arrived some minutes ago.
I sadly opened the umbrella and walked home as I thought of that boy
Who is he?
I had to ask cause winneburgh is a little town in country A where everyone one knew each other.
As there was only one high school and elementary school.
We don't have college or university here .
But anyways I'll find out in school tomorrow.😋😋

I had called Ben too pick me up as the rain was too heavy and I couldn't leave the registration office.
I thought of buying an umbrella, but there was only small one's available, so I bought two.
(Author: yeah, you're going too use two umbrellas yourself ^∆^)
Then I stood outside the office waiting for Ben my driver ,when I noticed a girl with dark chocolate brown hair running in the rain towards me.
I looked back too see if anyone was behind me, but there was no one so I was certain she was running to me.
"Hello, may I borrow your umbrella?" She said.
I turned to her and I was mesmerized by her honey brown eyes.
She had a round pretty face that was pale due to the cold as her uniform was soaked.
It made her look so pitiful so i gave her one of the umbrella and turned too go when I saw Ben had arrived.
"Hey, wait for me here tomorrow and I'll give this back too you." She shouted as I walked away and I stopped.
I initially wanted too ask her name but..
' remember why you are going too winneburgh. Try your best too go unnoticed.'
"No need." I said and walked away.
As soon as I entered the car I looked at her and I was surprised because she was looking at my car with a sad face.
Then she opened the umbrella and left, the I turned to Ben.
"Let's go."
"Yes young master."

"Mamma, Lucia isn't back yet and it's raining." Sam said to his mother who slicing carrots.
"How is that my concern? If she had come home when you and your sister did, she wouldn't meet the rain." Laura, Lucia's mother said.
"But she went for the rehearsal, promis just in one month." Sam spoke for Lucia.
"I've told her to leave that singing thing but she won't listen."Laura said
"Mamma, how about you tell the school admin too remove her name?" Leila, Lucia's sister said.
"Leila!!! How can you say that? You know how much Lucia loves singing!!!" Sam said in rage.
Leila smirked as their mother seemed to be in deep thought.
Then Laura raised had head to speak when....
"Mamma!!! I'm back."
"Lucy!!!! Thank goodness." Sam said as he ran to hug his sister.
Lucia smiled as she rubbed his hair. Then she looked at Leila who in turn hissed and looked away from her.
Laura looked at Lucia before she dropped her knife ad walked towards her.
"Where were you?"
"Mamma, I'm sorry. I was rehearsing with Sonia but lost track of ..-"
Pa!!!
The sound of slap echoed in the house .
"Mamma!!!"Sam screamed
"Laura!!!"
Another voice said and it was a man's voice.
"Andrew, I....."
"Did you really have to slap her? She's just seventeen!! Even if she did wrong how could you..."
Andrew was too shocked too continue as he walked towards the sobbing Lucia and led her to her room upstairs.
Laura went back to cooking while Leila smiled in victory.
"Why are you so happy when she's in pain?" Sam asked.
"Cause I hate seeing her face? Duh."
"I hope you stop you evil ways and change or else karma will hit you hard."
"Shut the fuck up." Leila screamed at Sam as he walked away to his room.
"Language young lady." Laura said to Leila who just rolled her eyes.
Sam went upstairs and saw his dad outside his sister's room.
"Pappa, how is sis?"
"She is not so well, she said she wanted to be alone." Andrew said and Sam sighed.
"What happened?" Andrew asked after a minute.
"She came home late cause of rehearsal at Sonia's. We all know she doesn't stay this late it was only because of the rain." Sam replied.
" I seriously don't know how to hand the three of them anymore. Why wouldn't your mamma.... Stay here and watch your sister , I need to talk to your mom."
"Ok Pappa."
Andrew went downstairs and saw Leila watching Netflix while eating popcorn.
"Leila, make tea for your sister. She's cold." He said.
" But Pappa she can do that herself." Leila grumbled.
"You with do it or say goodbye watching movies for the rest of the year." He said and put off the tv before going to the kitchen.
Leila stormed to her room on tears while Andrew walked up to his wife.
"We need to talk."
" About what ? Lucia? I yes, I'm not interested." Laura snubbed.
"What's your problem with Lucia?"
"Oh, what's my problem? Really now?" Laura said as she turned towards Andrew.
"I'm tired of taking care of someone else child!!!!!" She screamed
Andrew gasped and he looked shocked.
Then he shooked his head
" For years, we were childless until Lucia came into our lives. You used to love her so much, so what happened? What did she do wrong?"
"Nothing, but she not my blood. I don't want her outshining my kids." Laura said as she subbed.
"I'm disappointed in you for even having such thoughts."Andrew said before he left for their bed room.
Laura slumped on the floor as she continued crying.
"I'm sorry my child, but I can't let anyone find out the truth." Laura said in a whisper.
