Zeth was walkign through the court yard as the rain beat down upon his figure. His har was wet and matted to his head, his trenchcoat and clothes soaked and pressed against him. He had no idea why he was out there but he was. The storm had him up and he felt the strange need to be outside. He looked around seeing maybe 10 feet infront of him if that because of the rain, walking slowly acrossed the courtyard and found a tree with particularly thick cover and only a semi damp spot. He quickly layed down and watched the storm until the rain put him into a strange trance like state where he was focused straight foreward listening and watching it all for any sign of human movement or otherwise.

Raine was walking through the courtyard, umbrella in hand. She was happily taking a stroll in the rain giggling some. This was something her father did with her whenever there was a rainstorm. They would go out and run around jumping in puddles, tell jokes and generally have a good time. They had done since she was five and she hadn't stopped, with her father dead it seemed like she should uphold their tradition. She withdrew her umbrella and looked up at the sky. The hot summer rain felt so good as it danced on her face, sliding down her chin. Walking she still had her head up when she tripped over someone. Now on the ground she looked back expecting to see a tree branch but instead found a student. She approached him and shook her hand in front of his face.

"Are you okay? Your getting all wet."

Zeth slowly stood up and noded. "yeah I'm fine. Couldn't sleep so I decided to take a walk. Then this tree looked like a good place to sit down and watch the storm because for the most part its dry" He said in a kind tone one wouldn't expect from a guy covered in dark, wet clothing durign a rain storm. A small smile visible as he extended a hand "My names is Zeth miss" he said slowly as he turned and looked back over teh rain "Hop you didn't get hurt when you triped over me. If ya did I'm sorry about that"

Raine brushed herself off and looked at the boy. She was glad he was alright and she didn't seem to have a scratch on her either.

"Don't worry about me I'm fine besides it was my fault I wasn't looking where I was going. I'm Raine by the way"

She looked back up at the sky and then at Zeth. He looked lonely and decided to keep him company. She quickly glanced around and picked out a spot right next to him. Raine then sat down and looked to him.

"Its beautiful isn't it, the rain I mean, I always loved ever since I first saw it. So tell me why come out into the rain? Does it help you think or relax?"

Zeth smiled faintly and sat down. "Nice to meet you Raine. Why do I come out in the rain you asked. Listen to it, its steady and can help calm the nerves. Its nice for those nights when you can't sleep" he siad slowly unsure of hwo to word exactly why he was out there. Relaxtion was mostly it. "How about you? Why do you come out in the rain?" his eyes traveled out watching the drops hit the ground. He let a breif smile cross his lips then he looked back to her.

"Why I come out ing the rain? I guess because it was something be and my father did when I was younger and I've been doing it ever since. And I guess it helps me remember him and what he was like too."

She thought about him everyday but just then it all seemed to flood into her head, but none of these memories were good none at all. They all seemed to remind about the negative things and thats when it came back, the day she saw him murdered. He was a P.I. but a born vigilante. He was walking with Raine to the store when he caught a glimpse of a mugging taking place. He rushed to help the old women and reclaim her purse but the mugger had a gun and... It was too painful to think about any more.

Raine snapped back to reality and to where she was. She quickly brushed a tear from her face hoping he didn't notice. She then was silent and felt very akward. She glanced back at Zeth, he was kind of cute.

Zeth noded "I can't say I want to remember my father." he cringed thinking of that man. He quickly shut the thoughts of him out. He looked out into the storm then turned back to her adn saw a tear roll down her cheek. He blinked and realized maybe somethign he had said had upset her. "You okay? I didn't say anything to upset you did i?" he asked hoping he hadn't because he definatley didn't mean to if he had.

The storm raged on and Raine remained silent, she was tired and her recent flashback made her feel agitated. She sat and listened to Zeth hanging on his every word caught up in her own grief.

'Snap out of it. It happened a long time ago and there was nothing you could do. Don't dwell in the past but live in the present.'

The little voice inside her was right, she had to let go of the incident and get on with life. She turned back to Zeth who himself seemed to have worse memorys of his dad.

"Don't worry about what you said I was just thinking about something and it made me sad is all."

He looked so cold and mean but in reality he was one of the kindest boys she had met yet.

He noded and smiled faintly "I can relate" he said slowly as many htings in his life had upset him. He wasn't exactly the favorite of his family and never had been, not since he was little. "You sure your okay?" his words trailed off a little as he spoke ot her unsure of what exatcly to say. "You warm enough?" he asked for lack of anything better to say.

The storm raged on and Raines bottom lip began to tremble from the cold. She wrapped her arms around herself trying to keep warm. She was soaked to the bone but she did not move, she did not even think of leaving. She sat next to this boy who seemed to have gone through so much pain in his life. She wanted to ask him what had happened to him but the words never left her mouth. Instead she replaced those word with another question.

"I'm fine, how about you?"

He looked over to her and noded "I'm fine" and reality at this point in time he was. He then stood up for a moment and pulled off his coat which was slightly wet but pretty warm on the inside and layed it over her to keep her warm. "No worries, I'm warm enough and I can see your getting cold" he smiled slightly and looked out over teh storm for a few moments before turning back to her.

Raine leaned forward slightly embracing the damp coat that was now enveloping her. She held the coat around her and looked toward Zeth adoringly. Before she fully expressed this she turned back not sure of what she was doing. So many emotions in her head she knew not what to do, Conflicted Raine turned back towards Zeth, leaned forward and...

'What the hell am I doing?'

She ignored her thoughts of doubt and plunged in kissing him on the lips The few seconds that followed seemed to but that of bliss but quickly regaining herself she lunged back and stared at him akwardly.

Zeth was bakc and on his feet a second after the kiss ended. His face bright red. "Woah....uh...I'm sorry if I gave you the wrong impression or something but I'm taken....I was being polite and letting you use my coat to keep you warm since you seemed cold and you have been polite to me" he sighed and shruged it off then looked back ot her "Don't get me wrong, I like ya, but as a friend kinda deal.....I guess" he fetl pretty akward but then again had he done anything that had seemed more then being polite or a friend, had he actually brought this. "Sorry if I gave you the wrong impression.....uh.....woah" he wasn't even sure what to say, he was kinda stammering on his own words, Shana would damn near kill him, but he would have to tell her, it would only be right.

Raine stared back at him in silence feeling like an idiot. Her she thought she had found this great guy, it was so stupid.

'He was to good to be true. I'm such an dumbass.'

She hurried to her feet, her face now beet red feeling like she was going to cry. She was so embarassed all she could think of what to do was run. Raine turned around and began to leave dropping his coat in the mud. She ran a short distance and turned around she could still see the tree and his shadow. Raine slumped up against a near-by tree in the pouring rain. She looked up at the rain clouds.

"How could I be so stupid."

He shook his head droplets of water flying in different directions as he then ran to grab his coat, upon catching it he threw it on and walked up to her in time to hear her ask how she could be so stupid. "You weren't being stupid...I shoulda told ya, then again I didn't expect a kiss. If I didn't have a girlfriend I would go out with you in a heart beat, but that isn't the case.....sorry if this whole thing has you upset." he said slowly his breath visible as it was starting to get colder. HE sighed and looked out into the storm "In any event no reason to waste a perfectly good storm, come on lets go for a walk, we can talk a little more...."

She gazed at the night, her tears mixing with the raindrops. Raien tried to forget what had happened. She hung her head low, her wet hair drapping over her face. Raine shook her head looking up to find Zeth standing before her.

"No, its my fault I shouldn't of let my hormones get the best of me. Or atleast I should have asked you."

Raine slowly stood up and brushed herself off.

"Where do you want to take a walk."

(OOC:Sorry about not posting in a couple of days, When did you change your SN?)

He sighed "Whereever you want. I don't care. Just somewhere to walk" he laughed a little and looked around. "And don't worry about it, you didn't know and I wasn't expecting it. No blame should be passed around. Shit happens" he extended a hand to help her up so that they could walk a little.


(OOC: Its okay, and I had it changed just the other day.)

Raine slowly stood up and brushed herself off. She looked around trying to figure out where to go for a walk but since I was raining it didn't see to matter to her. She turned to her left and started to walk slowly out into the muddy courtyard hoping he would follow behind her.

"So, whats her name?"

HE did follow her and then listened hearing her ask for a name through the rain. "Her names Shana" he laughed to himself and walked up next to her "Why?" he hoped she didn't mind him askign why she wanted to know."I don't mena to be rude, I am just curious" he threw in as an after thought.

Raine continued to walk, climbing up a small hill. At the top of the she turned to Zeth and grinned.

"Why, you ask? Well I'm going to hunt her down and kill her. No one makes a fool out of me and gets away with it."

She stared at him, he probably thinking she was crazy and if he ran could he get away. Raine fought back the bouts of laughter trying to be serious, but couldn't take it anymore. She laughed out loud and slapped him on the back.

"Just kidding, I would never do that. I just wanted to know, just for the heck of it."

He blinked for a secodn then let out a small laugh. "Yeah, that would NOT be the best thing to admit to her boyfriend...." he shruged and noded "Alright I'll take your word for it." he walked up the few extra feet to the top of the hill and looked to her "How about you, why don't you have a boyfiriend, you seem like a girl who wouldn't have to go a day in her life without one." he said, not positive if he had said it how he wanted it to sound. In any event in meant he was suprised she wasn't taken.

Raine never really thought about it, why she was single. She had no idea, she had time for one and if he came from AHS she wouldn't need to protect him from her enemies.

"I don't know, I guess I was never really looking for one. I probably could find one but I prefer if it were to just happen unexpectidly. By the way you don't happen to have a brother that goes here do you?"

He looked to her and shook his head "Not that I know of, sorry" he laughed a little "I don't have any brothers" he added and looked around while standing on the hill. He sighed at the thought, the closest thing to a brothr he had ever had was his damned cousign that hated him. "How about you any relatives here?"

"I was an only child, my mom died giving birth and my father was murdered right in front of me and permently scarred me for life both mental and physical."

Raine raised up her right hand exposing the scarrs on the palm and then quickly removing it from site.

"So what about you what your situation with your family?"

He sighed "My family is alive but to them I am a mistkae that should have never exsisted" he said plainly. His family hated him and pretended eh wasn't alive. He ignored them and went on with his life. he explained this and that was all there was to it.

She sat on the damp grass listening to his sad story. Raine had been through some tough times but her family was always there for her. A light breeze swept across the land blowing her hair back. She looked up at the dark blue sky. It wasn't raining as hard as it was when she had first come outside. Raine looked back over to her companion.

"Looks like the rains gonna stop soon. Wanna head in?"

(OOC: Sorry about the delay. Look at my post in 'Free Talk' for my explination)

"We could" he responded thinking it over for a second. He didn't mind out being in the rain, he did however mind being all wet after the rain, it made his clothes to heavy. "Yeah if we head inside we can dry off" he said thinking it was a good idea.

Raine stood up, sweeping some grass of of her blue jeans. Turning around she started down the hill towards the main building of the school. Waking she wiped the rain of of her brow. The moment her hand blocked her sight Raine tripped over the concrete. Stumbling she passed right through the solid glass doors. Falling on the floor with a loud thud she looked up at the doors slighty embarassed.

"Oops."

Zeht joged over and helped her up. He laughed a little but hid it. "No big your all wet and we all slip up once in a while" he sighed and looked down the hall. He was driping water all over the place as his wet clothes huged tight to his frame. "Ya know...they might wanna put up those little signs that warn you its wet once we get through here." he joked. Smiling faintly he took his coat off and held it so the back was dragging lightly on the ground.

Raine stood back up looked outside. She ran her fingers through her wet hair swinging it over her shoulder and ringing it out letting the water fall into the floor. Looking back at the doors an idea came into her head. Raine stood still concentrating with her eyes closed. Taking a deep breath she held it and sunk into the soild ground below phasing her entire body minus the rain water clinging to her. The large amount of water lied in a big puddle in the middle of the floor. Raine came back up behind Zeth completely dry.

"We should tell people about the water... oh well."

Zeth noded and looked to her. "Well, I guess this is where we part ways" he said looking down the hall way that lead to his dorm. "Nice talking to you" he said as he started to walk down the hall way. Of course he was still well within earshot should she have anythign to say.

She stood in the hall watching as he turned away. Raine thought back to all that had happened, she smiled and looked back to him.

"Bye"
