It’s raining again for the fourth time this week.
“Aish…” I cursed while trying to dry myself under the shelter.
“Great! I am all wet! Now I will have to stay under this shelter till the damn rain stops.” Too busy complaining that I didn’t realize there’s someone else next to me, staring at me. I look towards that person and what stood in front of me was a beautiful girl. Before I could ask what her problem was, she held out a packet of tissue papers.
