Vol. 2 - Special Chapter 2: On A Rainy Afternoon
February 5th; Sun City, Sun City International School
On a cold and rainy day…school has ended and students have decided to end their activities…
"Well then…I will take my leave…" Uriel stands up and gathers his things. He notices Alejandro and Tiwa opening a box; "This is good…we're totally going to blend in…"
"Hey…what are you guys doing?" Uriel asks them. Both of them panic and hide the box:
"N-N-Nothing…"
Uriel looks a them with suspicion; "You know…you've been acting really weird lately…"
"What are you talking about? It's just your imagination…" Alejandro chuckles; "We're acting the same as usual…right…Tiwa?"
"Right…right…everything is normal…" Tiwa walks towards Uriel and starts pushing him to the door; "Now then…you must get ready for you mission right? Go on…or you're going to be late…"
"Hey…what the hell?" Uriel looks confused, Alejandro waves at him; "GOOD LUCK…"
(BOOM)
Tiwa shuts the door; "Phew…that was closed…" Tiwa and Alejandro make a smirk as they open the box:
"We may not be included in the mission…but…"
Both of them put on their costumes consisting on a waiter and waitress uniform with wigs:
"Carmelo and Carlota will be there…"
Both of them act cocky as they bump fists; "We will help those in need…"
"Right…"
Uriel, who stands at the door chuckles; "Those fools…I already know what they are planning…and for some reason…they may be useful…"
Uriel walks towards the entrance of the school.
(DRIP DRIP DROP DROP)
Soon, it begins to rain. Uriel stands at the entrance; "It's raining…" He looks up at the sky:
"Rain…eh…"
"Oh…it's raining…how wonderful…"
(BADUMP)
Uriel turns around and opens his eyes wider; "Marjorie…when did you get here?"
"I was always here…but you were looking at the sky…" Marjorie turns around and smiles at him. Uriel avoids looking at her; "This girl…why do I always feel so nervous when I'm around her…it reminds me of her…"
"Is something wrong?" Marjorie asks Uriel as she gets closer to her. Uriel blushes; "N-N-No…everything's fine…I should get going?"
Uriel takes a step forward. Marjorie looks at him worried; "Wait…" Marjorie stops him by grabbing his sleeve. Uriel stops; "Why are you stopping me?"
"Did you bring your umbrella?" Marjorie asks shyly, Uriel turns around; "My umbrella?"
Marjorie nods; "That's right…your umbrella…it's raining…and it's cold…if you get wet…you'll get sick…"
Uriel looks at the door; "I didn't bring mine…" Marjorie makes a little smile; "I see…" She slowly takes out her umbrella; "I-I-If you want...we could share mine…you know until it stops raining?"
"No thank you…" Uriel takes another step. Marjorie panics; "EHHH…WHY?"
"Because…it's embarrassing…your umbrella is too small…and you have a boyfriend…if someone sees us…rumors will spread…"
"I don't care about that…I just don't want you to get sick…"
"I won't…"
"Wait please…" Marjorie pulls his arm. Uriel sighs with his eyes closed; "Marjorie…" Uriel notices puffing her cheeks; "If you don't come with me…then I won't forgive you…"
"Is she throwing a tantrum? She's acting like a child…" Uriel thinks to himself, he sees Marjorie's eyes and sighs with his eyes closed; "Fine…"
"Great!" Marjorie smiles as she opens her umbrella and hugs Uriel's arm; "You hold it…"
Uriel gets nervous; "O-O-Okay…"
And so…Uriel and Marjorie walk down the street together…sharing one umbrella…
(BADUMP BADUMP BADUMP)
Uriel feels nervous; "How did things turn out like a romcom that my sister likes to read? This is so cliche…"
Uriel slowly looks at Marjorie; "She's really beautiful…" Marjorie looks at him; "Is something wrong?" Uriel looks forward; "Nothing…"
"I'm sorry…I made you uncomfortable…right?" Marjorie looks down, Uriel shakes his head; "Not at all…in fact, I feel grateful for your help…"
"I'm glad…" Marjorie takes a deep breath; "Hey…Uriel?"
Uriel looks at her embarrassed; "Marjorie?" Marjorie looks him; "Do you have a girlfriend?"
Uriel looks at her in shock; "Now that was sudden?"
Marjroie turns red; "I'm sorry…that was too forward of me…"
After a few moments of silence, Uriel replies; "No…I don't…"
"Really?" Marjorie looks relieved, Uriel looks forward and embarrassed; "Why are you asking me that?"
Marjorie panics; "Well…everyone in the school was wondering and I just wanted to ask…"
"I see…" Marjorie makes another question; "Is there anyone that you like?"
"That I like?"
"Yeah…in the school…is there someone you like?"
"..." Uriel doesn't respond at first, suddenly he stops as he thinks of a girl with pale skin, reddish eyes and black hair; "Serena…"
"Uriel?" Marjroie looks at him and notices his serious expression; "I'm sorry…I shouldn't have asked that question…"
"Uriel proceeds in giving the umbrella back to her; "This is far enough…besides your ride is about to arrive…I will see you tomorrow" Uriel continues to walk forward. Marjorie looks down; "Uriel…"
"You asked me if there was someone I liked…" Uriel stops and continues to speak; "There is someone…a beautiful girl with silver hair and a beautiful personality…she drives me crazy…"
"W-W-Wait…" Marjorie feels her heartbeat increasing. Uriel his head a little and makes a little smile; "Right now…she has an idiot boyfriend…but one day…that girl will be mine…"
(BBAADDUUMMPPP)
Marjorie drops her umbrella as she is in shock, Uriel walks forward and slowly disappears from sight. Marjorie's driver walks beside her; "Mistress Marjorie…is something wrong?"
Marjorie grabs her umbrella and walks to the car; "N-N-No…everything is alright…"
Uriel looks at the sky and remembers the girl from before; "Love…eh…I really…hate…the rain…"
The End…
