The day was uneventful, not including the spat in the cafeteria. Geo finished his classes and concluded all club activities, stepping out of the changing rooms in the late afternoon to finally leave, only to be met with a crowd at the doorway. Clouds had been brewing all day; it was only inevitable that rain would follow, but nobody predicted a downpour of this severity.

With a heavy sigh, Geo pulled out his phone from the duffel bag at his waist. He was perfectly content waiting if it meant not making a fool of himself or getting caught in that mess. He had people for this.

While Geo called, he spotted someone approaching the door. He knew you but didn't feel like dealing with anyone, so he stayed quiet. You, on the other hand, wasted no time jumping into the rain. But instead of running off, you stood there and turned to him. Why were you looking at him like that, expectantly? It's almost like you—

"Absolutely not."

You were insane if you thought you could get Geo anywhere beyond the awning into the storm. Rain fired from the sky like bullets, drenching any students dumb enough to try running to the campus gates. Geo was not going to be one of them.
