The clouds were dark today. It was definitely going to rain. Possibly thunderstorm. Sky could smell the scent of the rain as she laid down in the soft freshly cut grass that surrounded the castle. Her hair was curled a bit. She wore a green t-shirt with a black zip up hoodie and black shorts. Her eyes focused on the clouds. The small grey masses seemed to be bunching together, making rather large clouds. She sighed. "I guess I should go back in now..." She said quietly to herself. She stood up and wiped her pants of any blades of grass that came off of the ground and started walking back torward the school entrance. She could hear a boom of thunder and felt a raindrop on her head.
Nate sat on a bench near the school. His heart was pounding as he heard the thunder and saw the stormy rolling clouds. He smiled slightly, feeling a lil delighted. He always loved the suspense of storms, and watching them come and pass, causing a tremble down his spine and up his bloodveins, causing his adrenaline pound. He looked as he saw a girl walking towards the castle. He decided to see who she was, since he didnt have very friends any ways. As he ran towards her he heard another heart rippling thunder, causing him to slow down. Once he reached by the girl he smiled and said ,"Hi." Hoping she heard him.
Sky could see that the door was close. Maybe once she got inside, she could go to the highest tower to watch the storm. Watching them from the Common Room wasn't as exciting. With so much noise and so many people, you couldn't really pay attention there. In the high tower, it was dark and quiet. Except for the few windows in it, there wasn't that much light. Suddenly Sky had heard a voice. It was saying hello. She turned around slowly. "Hello." She said. She studied the boy's face. "You're Nate...aren't you? I know I've seen you around here a few times."
His steps matched Sky's foot steps," Umm..yeah. And your Sky right? Its a cool name," He said smiling.
She nodded, smiling herself. "Yepp. Thank you." She looked up at the clouds again as another boom exploded. "You might want to get inside. It's about to pour."
He looked at the stormy sky,"Nah i think its perfect out here." Then he said with a smile," But if you want ill go into the safety of the castle?" Then he went into the shelter of the building.
Sky had her arms crossed, but in a gentle way. "I don't mind staying here." She said with a smile. "As long as I don't get yelled at by a teacher or something." She looked up at the castle, moving a piece of black hair from her eyes. "The last time I was outside during a thunderstorm, I got a huge lecture." She put an exaggeration on the word "huge".
" Well then we dont want to hear another one of those "huge" boring pointless lectures. so what do you want to do," He asked.
Sky shrugged. "Anything." She said. "Is there anything in particular that you would like to do?" She asked him.
He bent his head slightly, shaking his head like a little boy,"Nope you choose. Im not good at making choices so yep..your choosing."
Sky slowly moved her hand towards Nate's shoulder, just a few centimeters away from it.
"I'm not touching you." She said then laughed.
He smiled,"Are you sure? Cause it looks like you are," he said with a big grin on his face.
She put her arm down and smiled. "Well." She said. "Things aren't always what they appear to be."
He shook his head,"Nahh i disagree with that."
"Really?" Sky asked. Suddenly the rain had picked up. It had begun to pour down hard on them. You could see the rain bouncing off of the concrete walks of the school. Sky smiled then twirled around in the rain randomly.
He looked up at the rain,"Come on," he said grabbing her hand and pulling her into the shelter of the roof. He said with a smile,"Back to wat we were saying." He thought for a second and said as his smile sudenly faded,"If you look hard enough you can see every crease in a smiling or when you look in the eyes you can see theway their feeling. And when you look at the movement very closely of a person you can usually see it...but thats only my opinion,"he said halfheartidly.
Sky looked at him, studying his face and listening carefully to what he had to say. "Wow.." She whispered. "I never thought about that before." She smiled slightly. "I agree with you. Everytime you look into someones eyes," She said, looking at his. "You can see how they feel."
Nate smiled bigly,"Exsactly... i think that its fun studying people cause they think your checking them out reandomly when really your just studying them very carefully. Its quite fun i have to say." He joked with a happy voice. He was beginning to get a sudden surge of happiness.
Sky laughed. "It's tons of fun. We should go to Hogsmead sometime and 'check people out'. She said with a wink.
Nate smiled,"Hell yeah...sounds like a deal to me."
"You seem excited." Sky said with a smile. She looked out across the grounds. The ground was soaked but the rain had calmed down to a light sprinkle.
Nate put on an innocent smile,"Me..excited..most definately. So i never asked, why are you out here," he said pointing at the rain where it was falling.
She shrugged. "You don't find me indoors very often unless I'm tired or just don't feel well. I like being outside going for walks, watching the clouds, laying in the grass while the rain hits my face." She said smiling.
Nate shrugged,"I see your point."
"Why are you out here?" Sky asked, looking at him.
Nate shrugged,"I dunno. mostly the same reason as you, i just wanted to watch the rain fall and feel it hit my face. and just watch as the rain moved on to a different area."
"Do you want to hang out?" Sky asked randomly. "Get something to eat maybe in the great hall or something?" She asked with a smile.
Nate shrugged,"Ehh okay sounds good to me, friendie," he smiled.
Sky laughed. "Okay Friendie. Shall we?" She opened the castle door.
"Yes we shall senorita," he said with a smile and then he rushed in,"Men first." He put on a smile.
Sky laughed and followed him, heading to the Great Hall. She took a seat at the Gryffindor Table, lunch already being served. Not too many kids were here yet.
