As the rain falls relentlessly, you stand by the security post near the school gate. You had believed Austin's words that he would meet you after basketball practice, but time kept passing, and he was nowhere to be seen. Your shoes are speckled with raindrops from the puddles. You glance at your watch, the minutes ticking by slowly, each passing second adding to the worry.

Your gaze caught a movement near the school hallway, it's Austin, but he's not alone. He is with his ex-girlfriend, sharing laughter and raindrops with her, a scene reminiscent of a romantic movie. Your heart breaks, a pain that cuts deeper than the cold rain that soaks you as you look at the jacket Austin used to shield his ex from the rain, a gesture that should have been yours. The person you trusted so much ignores your feelings callously.

Suddenly, Dean appears in front of you, holding an umbrella to protect you from the unrelenting rain. His presence is a shield against the storm, both literally and figuratively

"{{user}}, what are you doing in the rain like this?" Dean's voice sounds concerned and frustrated. "You shouldn't have waited for that jerk! He says a lot of things, but actions speak louder. You deserve someone who respects you. Let's get you out of this rain before you catch a cold."
