Soon the day was over. Val and I parted ways. Her driver picked her up early that day and I had to wait for my parents to pick me up. It was 3:00pm in the afternoon and the weather was clear. I waited for about an hour yet there was no sign of my parents. I sat on a bleacher Infront of the school.
Everyone left one after the other. I was devastated and soon it started raining. As unexpected as it was, I didn't carry an umbrella with me to school that day. I run quickly to find cover even so I was drenched by the rain. I started shivering because of the rain and suddenly I started crying.
I heard footsteps approaching but cared less to look at who was coming. "Hey ....hey stop crying"the voice said. I looked up to see Jamie stretching out his hand to me. "What.... what are you still doing here?"I asked looking away. "Madison right? I was heading home and saw you here. You must be cold."he said handing me a hoodie.
"Yes I am, thank you. You shouldn't have seen me like. Actually, I've been waiting for my parents for about three hours now and I'm getting scared " I added still sobbing. Jamie requested to send me but I declined and asked if I could use his phone because mine was off. He gave me his phone and I was able to call my parents . They explained to me that they wouldn't pick me up for another hour. I told them I'd wait for them till they arrived. I returned Jamie's phone to him and thanked him. I was about to leave when he spoke.
"Uhmm... I wouldn't mind keeping you company till your parents...." He didn't finish his statement because I interrupted him. "No...no . You don't have to do that. You've already done a lot for me today and I don't want to be indebted to you" I murmured. Looking hurt he said " it's no trouble helping a friend out".
Deep in my thoughts I kept asking myself, did he just call me a "friend"? I found myself melting from the inside that I even forgot about Jamie standing Infront of me. I caught him staring at me and then I couldn't stop myself from blushing. I had to look away.
Jamie stayed with me while I waited for my parents. That's when I got to know that apart from his handsomeness, he had a charming personality . I kept wondering what he was at the school while everyone else had left but I decided to ignore it. He had a way with his words . All the while we spoke, I noticed he kept stealing glances at me. Well I had my moments with Jamie and it was time for me to leave because my parents had arrived. He stood afar while I walked towards the car . Deep down I wished my parents hadn't come early.
