Tainted : Book 1

The sun was stowed away behind the thickening grey clouds. I walked out of the house with one hand tightly wrapped around the strap of my bag. Walking down the stone steps I looked up with a frown on my face. I didn't like the look of the sky. 


 "Do you think it's going to rain?" I asked Abby as I hopped into her SUV. She looked up at the sky through the windshield. 


 "Probably," she answered. I groaned as I fastened my seatbelt. "It's just a little rain, it won't kill you." 


 "I hate the rain," I told her. She turned the key in the ignition, the car roared to life before she backed out of my driveway and drove out the gate. 


 "I love the rain," she said and I scrunched up my face, she chuckled. "What? I like the way it feels pelting against my skin. I like the smell, and I like the sound of it hitting the ground." 


 "The only good thing about this kind of weather is the sound of thunder and the flashes of lightning," I remarked. 


 She shuddered. "I'm not a fan of thunder."
