Horrible Weather

Not finished. Names subject to change.

The rain poured down outside, making everything grey and depressing. The city sidewalks crowded with unlucky people that forgot umbrellas, and trying to cover thier heads with newspapers, briefcases, and purses. Unfortunately I didn't own an umbrella either, but walking through the rain wouldn't be all that bad. I slung my backpack over my shoulder and stepped off the steps that lead up to my apartment building with a sigh. I plugged earbuds in my ears and pulled my MP3 player. The hustle and bustle of the city made me sick. Everyone so rude and shoving, but of course that was what New York city was all about, huh? Walking alone was comforting. I could daydream all I wanted with no one bothering me. I just daydream about how life would be if my parents didn't move to NYC. I enjoyed living in a home with a big field I could just lay in and watch the stars. But alas, no stars in NYC. I sighed again.

 

Then over my music I could hear a car horn. Next thing I knew I was on the ground with someone hovering over me. I yanked the earbuds from my ears and looked around confused.

 

"Are you crazy or something?" I heard a young mans voice yell over the voices that crowded around me. "You almost got yourself killed!" He stood and helped me up. Then he moved a chunck of hair from my face. "And are you really walking around with no umbrella in the rain?" To me this guy seemed a little worried about me and less worried about his cut on his arm. I pointed to it. He shrugged it off. "So what's your name?" I almost forgot my name.  I laughed.

 

"I'm Lillianna." I said with probably a dumb look on my face. I ignored the driver yelling profanities at me. "And you?" I asked him as he lead me across to the other side and flipped off the driver and yelled back at him. He paused a moment to pick up his umbrella and turn to me.

 

"Ansel, where you off to?" he put the umbrella over the both of us.

 

"I'm off to school." he nodded and we walked along the streets.
