A lifetime to remember- CLIP 3

Reminder- Even though the main has my name, she does NOT look like me. She is around 5ft 4in, has shoulder length straight black hair and is petite.

He hasn't been talking to me for at least a month. What a jerk! Anyway, whatever. We were stuck in the rain and our transport was nil. The road wasn't big enough for all of us, but we could walk home. It was close enough. Who are "we"? We are Ash, John, Jake, Jonero, Keshav, me and some other neighbourhood kids. Not all of us had umbrellas, just our luck. So we had to go in pairs. I was standing with John, duh. He is my awesome best friend.  
"I hate the cold" 
He smiled, "I know". 
I was so restless...."Ughh.....I wanna get outta here...!"
Now he was grinning. 

"Ok, WHAT is so funny?"
"Your impatience" 
I punched his arm, he ruffled my hair. 
"Just enjoy the....ummm....nice weather..."
"Yeah, really?" 
My cell phone started ringing which resulted in me jumping a mile up. John snorted. I smirked at him. The caller ID said Jake. Sheesh, he couldn't walk?

 I picked it up, "Yeah?"
 "You cold?"
"No, Jake." 
"You sure?" 
"Yes, If I DO get cold I'll use John's strong arms to make me feel warmer", I added sarcastically. 
My brother doesn't like it when I like boys. Not that I like John. I like someone else. Someone else who's ignoring me...ugh... Ok, time to forget about him! 
"Zoe, are you okay?"
"Yeah, why?" 
"You're making weird faces."
"I am? Sorry...thinking about something"
I shivered...damn, it's real cold. 
"You ARE cold. Why'd you lie to Jake. He'd have given you his jacket. Or do you want my strong arms?" 
I rolled my eyes. "It's monsoon, not winter. I can handle it."

People were still moving ahead, John and me were almost up. John had the umbrella. Thank god John was here with me.  
Suddenly somebody pushed me forward. "Hey!" 
I bumped into 'him'.  Crap.....He turned around and stared me down....Wow, that gave me the heebiejeebies. 

I said, "Sorry", then I tried walking back but somebody said, "Just go" 
"No way, I'm going with John" 
That jerk said, "Could you hurry up?" I looked back at John. He looked as confused as I felt. I followed behind 'him'. That's when I heard snickers. Oh my god, this is a CONSPIRACY! 
Spying has seriously gone up to my head. 
Ok, plan....as soon as we were out of sight, I'd lag behind and use my binder as protection from rain. 
This silence is awkward... ughh. 
"So, I heard you started going out with John" I jumped another mile. We were on speaking terms now?! 
"Yeah, so?"
He was quiet for some time again. "Do you like him?" 
"Yes, he's my best friend" 
"No, that's not an excuse. He has the hots for you. You don't."
"What is your PROBLEM? It's my life" 
"Do you usually date people who like you and are your best friend?" 
"Oh my god, you are insane. It's my life, not yours. You aren't part of my life, so I don't think you should be bothered" 
He suddenly stopped. He was shaking. Oh crap, he's going to kill me. Wait, I may be stronger. 
He dropped the umbrella. I started walking backward. We were getting wet anyway. He turned. His eyes locked on me. "Ok, forget the way I've been treating you and..." 
"FORGET?! You're bloody insane!"
"Zoe, I want to be in your life."
"You ARE  friggin insane", I screamed. 
He started walking towards me. I started walking backward slowly and whispered, "Stay away" 
He walked to me faster. I tripped on something, his hand went around my waist and the other caught my hand. He pulled me towards him. I couldn't say anything because my heart was in my throat. 
The best thing about rain is that others can't see the tears on your face. 

Then he kissed me. I was shocked momentarily, but then my brain decided to go off and I melted into his embrace and started kissing him back.
