It blocked the heavy rain from me immediately.
I looked up and met Evan's eyes.
I was lost in his shimmering eyes. "Are you okay? Am I too cool?"
I replied softly, "You are younger than me."
"With your baby face, you can't be more than 15 years old!"
I was speechless.
It seemed that he was praising me, but when I thought about it carefully, it didn't sound like a compliment.
For a moment, I didn't know how to react.
We were silent all the way. Only the sound of heavy rain hitting the umbrella was audible.
After another turn, we would arrive at the school.
From a distance, I could already see Mr. Mason's iconic belly.
There were a lot of students returning to school at the school gate. Almost everyone gave us a second look as they passed by.
Apart from my academic performance, I didn't want to draw attention because of anything else.
I slowed down and smiled at Evan. "Thank you. Now that the rain is getting lighter, I can run back by myself."
